Ten Miners Perish
in Copper Mine Fire

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 15-At least 10
miners lost their lives in a fire which
started late last night in an air shaft
on the 1900 foot level in the Pennsyl-
vania mine OF the Anaconda copper
mining company and which is still
burning fiercely early today. A dozen
others are missing but it is believed
all but three or four of these went
home without reporting off.
Two OF the dead, William Mitchell,
assistant foreman and Neil Brennan,
were overcome by smoke and gas
while engaged in rescue work on the
600 foot level.

Cultivate Muses.
On Battle Front
NOT ONLY MUSIC AND PRETAy
BUT PAINTING AND scuLP.

~. A..n y, presrl

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Many soldfer.ar-
fists continue to pursue their art at
the, front. Music. as well as painting
and sculpture, Is being cultivated. NJ.
SCheusi, director of the Opera Comique,
has found no decrease In the number
OF scores which reach him from all
quarters. even from the trenches. But
there is this difference, that whereas
the civilian revels in martial themes
the solider.musician sounds the pas
toral note and seeks Inspiration from
nature In her country aspects. Some
OF the latter contributions are of no
mean order and there Is notably one
score-an opera in three acts-which
bears the hallmarks OF masterpiece.
The production of this work will prove
anything but costly as there are only
two scenes, the sea and a mountain
pinnacle, and three characters.
NJ. heusi was so struck by the dig
nifty and mastery technique of the
score that he suspected the anonymous
author OF being possibly one of the
Iuminaries OF his profession who by
this subterfuge wished to test the mer-
It Of his work on It's face value and
to complete on equal terms with his
less.known rivals. Accordingly an
assembly of musical olympians kas
convened to hear a recital OF the work,
but none OF them could recognize the
style OF any OF their contemporaries.
All agreed that new masterpiece
had been created for the glory of
French music.
None OF the works. submitted at
present will be definitely judged be.
fore peace is declared.

Early one morning the Indians came
bringing baskets of popcorn and other
things They all went to the church
and gave thanks and then returned
to dinner. The table was heaped with
pies, cakes, game and other dishes.
After dinner the men spent their
time running and jumping. The chill
dren played games and the women sat
and talked When the Indians left the
settlers said, 1--WE will have a feast
next year also and thank God"
1t was from this service that we get
our Thanksgiving day This day was
not observed until many years after
the Revolution by any one again. To-
day the President issues a Proclama-

On this day all denominations hold
services to thank God for his mercy

THANKSGIVING A
NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

IAN Essay by Helen Brooks of the
Hendersonville Graded SCHOOL,
In 1920 three small ships set sail for
1.-THE New World. In these ships were
a small band of Pilgrims. The ships
landed at Plymouth Rock on the coast
Of Massachusetts,.
The men went to work and soon a
number of houses were constructed.
The following day a few Indians came
down to the shore and the settlers
and Indians became friendly. -
These Indians taught the settlers
many things. among which were, fish
ing, hunting and planting crops.
The settlers spasced hard winter
and in the spring they planted crops,
In the fall they harvested great crops
Of corn and other grain.
Let us have a feast and invite the
Indians and thank God for his care.p
said they. Then the women went to
Work and baked pies and cakes, the
men caught fish and shot deer and
turkeys, and the children gathered
nuts and berries
