Just at this time when many hearts are heavy in our country and a pail hangs over our nation because of the impending horrors of war the time has come for serious and sober thought. Through the wisdom and diplomacy of our great President We have been kept out of the awful maelstrom of the European conflict He has also ex- hausted every honorable means to avoid war with our neighhorlng republic to the south but his efforts have not been appreciated by that nation and it looks like the inevitable has come.
 There is a Ruler before whom angels bow and nations uemble. who holds the destiny of all peoples in His hand. He can be persuaded to intercede and justify the righteous and the time has come and now is when our whole Ma tion should be given up to earnest, fervent prayer and devoted worship. So as d God fearing community and town let us assembt ourselves on next Sunday in Gods appointed places of

THE ROYAL GWENT
WELSH SINGERS

The Royal Gwent Welsh singers
charms an audience with their sing
ing as Orpheus Of old charmed crea-
tion with his lutte. There is fascina-
ton in the singing IF these men from
Wales that makes a listener spell
bound while his soul Is transported
on the opinions of inspiration into
realms he never explored in his life
before. 1t is worth a whole lifetime
to spend only an hour under the in
fluence of the music of this magnifi-
cent organization.
To miss a concert given by the
Royal Gweht Welsh singers is just
like slipping notch in the wheel
of musical progress. One need not
persuade the really musical man or
woman to go and listen to the event
Singers but it is the duty of every
musical American to persuade the
Indifferent public to go and hear this
chorus whenever 1t comes their way.
They owe that much to art and edu.
cation, and to men who sacrific the
love Of home to tour in distant land
for the love of art. Encourage your
friends to hear this most wonderful
concert at the High School auditor
ihm on the evening or February 25.

GROWING SEASON is ON.

Grass and winter wheat are not
the only forms of plant life that grow
under the snow and stand in natural
appearance when the drifts melt.
Down at Sagehurst in Blackfoot, the
flowers called "Snow Drops" are now
in bloom. They always appear by
the fifteenth or sixteenth of February
and this year one was out on the
thirteenth, but did not unfold and
spread it's petals until the next day.
They grow in sheltered place
against the southeast wall of the
house, and heat from below thaws
the ground all the time it is not
freezing deeper, at any time in
winter. The ground freezes about
the plants every night now, but they
remain green and crisp and the
bloom unfolds during the day.
There are other plants, the crocns,
the tulips and perennial poppy that
are growing and the bleeding heart
is coming thru the ground under the
mulch.
