Itis almost remarkable that so good
an orchestra can be picked up in a coun-
Try community as that which played at
the musical given by Mt. Mica Lodge, l.
y. 0. F., 10 its hall Thursday evening.
It's playing delighted large audience
which had gathered, and was pronounced

M. Cote, cOrDet; Rae Newton, flute;
James Mason, trombone; Mrs. Carl S.

very pleasing to the audience, which

storms in June and July. Although by
september the conditions had become
soOut normal, the season had been 80
oola that almost no crops were raised,
