Recital February 1

The recital by Mrs. Stambaugh at
the Presbyterian church February
l is looked forward to with interest
by music lovers. During the eighteen
years that Mrs. Stambaugh lived In
the north her musical efforts were
always for the betterment Of must
cal conditions in the community. AS
a result she often sang under the
baton of Oberhopfer of the Min
neapolis Symphony, Rothwell OF
the st. Paul, and as soloist with the
Fargo College Symphony. OF her
singing of "All Ye People" In the
Seven Last Words of Christ" the
music critics said: "In oratoria

WONDERFUL SONG BOOK FOR
READERS OF THIS PAPER
The Presentation Of Heart Songs
a New Idea for Newspaper
the Work Has 500 Large
Pages

The remarkable offering by the
Reflector of the now famous song
book, entitled Heart Songs" an
nouncement of which appears today
elsewhere in this paper, should be
source of sincere congratulation
to both publisher and reader.
Already more than a hundred
thousand copies of this unique vol
ume have gone into the homes OF
the young people of the United
States at the publishers retail price
of two dollars and half per vol
ume, The merits Of the book are
such that the sales are steadily on
the increase and in the ordinary
course of business the book would
attain an enormous circulation.
Upon our first approaching the
publishers with a proposition to al
low us in effect to make gift of 1t
to our readers, we met with cold
reception. But subsequently plan
was devolved whereby syndicate
of the largest and most influential
newspapers in the country entered
into an agreement with the makers
of the book, so that several hundred
thousand copies might be allotted to
the readers Of the respective papers
for practically the bare cost of dis
tribution.
1t is of universal interest and
there is no member of the family
but will find something of fascina-
ton and genuine interest between
it's covers.
AS we state elsewhere, we believe
the distribution of this book will
accomplish a work of education Of
the very highest character, and our
offering may fairly be called a tes-
timonial to the thousands Of men
and women who read our columns
daily.
The work has five hundred large
pages and comprises four hundred
selections, words and music. 1t is
to be had by this papers readers on
terms stated. Books in both styles OF
binding are on display at this office,
and the choice is yours.

OPENS HIGH SCHOOL
Students Into New $50, 900 Modern
Structure

Times: Herington's new $3z 1000
high school building was opened
Monday. No ceremonies were held
in connection with the event The
entire high school, the eighth grades
from the various buildings and the
seventh grade from Lincoln all go
to the new building. This relieves
the crowded condition of the schools,
a condition which the board of edu-
cation has tried faithfully to over
come all year.
The first chapel exercises in the
new building were held Wednesday
morning and basketball in the gym
nasium has already begun.
The interclass room telephone sys-
tenn has been installed Each room
is supplied with a phone with
switch board in the office.
Harrington is proud Of the new
high school and justly so. 1t is one
of the very best assets the town
has. The board Of education deserves
credit for pushing the construction
work as rapidly as they did.

CIares Tax Constitutional
OPENS BIG REVENUE SOURCE
Administration Sees in Decision a
Way for Big Fortunes to Aid

Being Agitated

Washington, Jan. 25.-The In
come tax was declared constitution
al by the supreme court in unani-
nous decision which swept aside ev-
cry contention raised against 1t and,
in the opinion of congressional
leaders, opened the way for in
creasing the tax rate on great for
tunes to help pay for national de-
Tense.
Proposals are pending in congress
to tax annual incomes of more than
$1,OOO,OO0 as high as so per cent.
Leaders agree that out Of the deci-
sion will come a definite movement
TO levy on the revenues from great
private fortunes for some Of the
millions the government must raise
to carry out the army and navy in
creases.
Representative Hull is preparing
amendents to carry the tax to in
comes below $4,000 and make grad
uated increases in the surtaxes on
incomes exceeding $4,000 a year.
Those opposing the tax had urged
that the sixteenth amendment pro-
vided that income. from whatever
source derived" should be taxed
witout regard to apportionment
among the states.
