Progress Comes from New
 Communities

It is a peculiar and signifi- cant fact that the world owes it's progress largely to new communities. The new Amer ica gave to the world a new conception of liberty and in do- ing so shook thrones to their foundations. The new states of our Union are in the van- guard of progress, leading the unwilling states of the older East. But we of the United States must submit to the lead ership of yet newer communi- ties. We have no remedy for the H. c. L., tho our ingenuity along many lines is boundless. We must turn to Australia for an example of such a regula- tion of the market as will pre- vent the extortion of producer, wholesaler or retailer. MT. Patrick Quinn, government commissioner of New South Wales, who is in America just now, has this to say of the plan in vogue in his country for pre- venting speculation in food products:
 Every Monday morning the prevailing prices for staples are announced by the govern ment. We provide a reason able profit for the producer, one for the wholesaler and one for the retailer, and yet sell at half and less than half of what you pay here. In Australia we believe that a government that cannot control prices for the benefit of it's people is not liv- ing up to it's obligation as a democracy"

 The Music Department of the Williams Woman's Club held a very interesting meeting Tuesday, December 26th at the Parish House. Almost every member of the Club was pres ent to enjoy the program given by the members of the Music Department. As the guests ar rived they were given sprigs of mistletoe.
 The meeting was called to order at two-thirty o'clock, by Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Cureton sub stituting for Mrs. Boone, read the minutes of the previous meeting and acted as secre- tary during the afternoon.
 Mrs. Sine had charge of the program which consisted of bi- ographies of four well-known American composers and art ists and as many of their musi- cal compositions as were. avail able.

 Mrs. Elliott being slightly i'll, Mrs. Lee graciously substitut- ed for her and sang:-
 ''Des Hold My Hand" and
 "Just Awearyin' for You"
 by Mrs. Bond
 It was interesting to learn that the latter was written af- ter the strange disappearance of Dr. Bond.
 Carrie Jacobs Bond is as yer satile a composer of verse as of music. Miss Heating read, "The Path of Life," Mrs. Bond, with sympathetic interpreta- tion bringing to her audience the full sweetness of the verses.
 Miss Mitchell sang two we'll known songs:
 ''Little Pink Rose" and -''Is You", Carrie Jacobs Bond
 The first of these was com posed immediately after the death of Mrs. Bonds small daughter, while the second song has verses in negro dialect which are charming.
 Mrs. Cureton read an article about Albert Spaulding, the composer and violinist.
 Homer N. Bartlett was given a few minutes discussion. Miss Bigger was ill and unable to sing his song,
 "Tell Me Where Is Fancy
 Bred"
 Mrs. Lee pleased her listen- CTS with,
