votlonal song by Schubert, well suited
to Mime. Homer's organ-like tones. TwU
graceful songs by Schumann followed,
and two songs by Brahms, "SapphIc ODE
and "Botschaft'. Both of these last,

rich depths of the low tones and the

sympathetic voice to splendid advantage.
Most impressive was the aria "Che
"Orfeo ct Euridice," in which Nine.
Homer recently sustained the role or
'Orfeo" with great success in the Metro
polstain Opera Company This aria,
simple and with the simplicity of per-
fection, requiring delicate phrasing, was
interpreted by Nine. Homer with a lofty
pathos, dignity. and sweetness of tone
which charmed the listeners and called
forth a storm of applause. AS an encorv

On the I4lh of June, which was
Flag Day. the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, assembled at
the hospitable home Of Mrs Neal,
Though the afternoon was rather
wet and disagreeable, there was a
goodly number of members and
guests present, which shows that
obstacles mean nothing to US,
when we are for prohibition. The
program was opened with singing
America, the grand old pa triotic
song and the President conducted
the DEVOTIONAL exercises.
The topic for the afternoon was
Danger Of Soft Drinks. Mrs
Gravette read a leaflet on the
Cider Curse. We are told that
from to 10 per cent Of cider is
alcohol and as alcohol is a poison,
therefore, there is danger in cider,
for even sweet % cider is known
to be a curse. There was also IN
interesting discussion on Coco
Cola. Miss Times Alexander read
Gov. Bilbo's Flag Day proclama-
ton and presented each one with
a little souvenir flag with the w
C T U motto, For God, and
Home and Native Land" The
Union is planning to present a
large flag to the school in Septem
Der. The Committee for Flower
Mission Day reported several visits
to shut-ins and visit to the pris

ness, Mrs Neal, assisted by her
mother and little daughter, served
us to a delightful course of cream
and cake. Press Supt.

Nothing to it. Now lay down
all notions and let MS look into the

and eighty counties to the state,
which will make 400 deputies and
80 for the counties will make $50
at So per day, which will make
81 440 per day, and the state game

penses paid. But nothing to it.
Now let us see what the 400
