He discussed the value of music in our everyday community life, spoke of it as "the universal language and illus trated it's influence upon social condi- tions. Among other things Professor Glenn said: Music is a means of com munication between all souls, whatever cline may have given them birth. There is an inexpressible something in the itself in speech, but failing in this, music flies to his relief and in melody man pours out his imprisoned soul Music takes up the thread where language drops it. Shakespeare ends where Bee tEoven begins.
 Birmingham, along with other commu- mites of our land, needs musical influ- ence Perhaps no city in the land, cer- tainly no city in the southland, is in greater danger of materialistic influences.

 In the event the governor appoints, the person designated by him will only fill the office until a permanent of ficial has been selected at the primary to be held in Madison county early in July.
 The governor was in conference to- day with Edward D. Johnston of Madi- son county in regard to the situation in Madison, but it was not learned what matters were discussed between them. MT. Johnston was the minority leader in the house of representatives at the last session of the legislature, and in that capacity aided the governor in secur- ing the passage of many important laws.
 MT Johnston is believed to have advised the governor against making a per-
 manent appointment to the office of probate judge, though he declined to state the nature of his conference It is the opinion of the governor, it
 was learned, that the peoples choice of
 probate judge is desired by the various
 political clements in Madison. A pri- mary election had been called for July for the selection of one of the county officers, and it is now understood that the new probate judge will be named at the same time.

 Was it difficult for me to learn to drive an automobile?' says Miss Erne No, indeed. Before I actually learned to drive I will confess I was somewhat ap- prehensive, but the day I took my lesson -one day was all I required-I was amazed at the simplicity of the thing.
 Really there is nothing at all compli- cated about driving an automobile. It is far easier, so far as the physical and mental effort are concerned than bridge whist and to my mind it is a lot more fun

LOWELL FLOUR MILL
NOW GRINDING FLOUR

The Lowell Flour Mill located here.
made its first run of flour last week.
and according TO expert bakers II Is Of
the finest quality.
For several months past, Mr w. W.
Pertiyal, who Is recognized as one OF
the most expert millers in the west,
has been overhauling the mill and in.
stalling new machinery, and 1t Is now
said TO be one of the most modernly
equipped in the state, and capable OF
turning ont as fine products as can be
manufactured anywhere.
IN speaking OF the mill several days
ago TO reporter. Mr. Percival said
that he Is now assured OF sufficient
wheat 20 keep the mill supplied for an
il: 'tP period. He further stated
thSt there was no reason why as good
ncur cannot be manufactured here az
any place in the world, for here II is
possible 10 get wheat OF the choicest
quality. and the mill Is now equipped
with the most modern machinery on
the market. With these essentials SUP
piled. the Only thing necessary is the
proper skill in treating the wheat and
run ming the machinery.
The starting OF the Lowell Flour
Mills means much to Elko County, for
II will keep thousands OF dollars at
home, which have for many years been
going out Of the state. Thousands OF
tons of flour are annually shipped into
the county. and the money paid for #
never returns. This money may now
be kept at home which will result in 2
great benefit to the community. Fur.
thermore. 1t will furnish home mark
ct for wheat, and crops may now be-
raised with profit. Heretofore mos,
OF the profit has been consumed I'm
freight rates to distant mills.
Every person with home pride and
desiring TO help build up the communi.
ty should give the products Of the
Lowell Flour Mills a fair trial. And
those who do will undoubtedly be
pleased, for Mr.. Percival proposes to
make the products OF his mill equal to
or better than anything on the market.
