Music Notes


churches has been fine this year
finer than usual perhaps. The pro
grams have been strong and the aud
fences large---capacity houses in fact.
The large audiences certainly show
that the people of Canon City like
good music. If a minister could draw
as large a crowd as the Christmas
cantatas have drawn he would feel
highly compIimented.
The collection plates which were
passed around for the choir funds
didn't reflect the appreciation of the
however. to great extent.
The contents of the plates TO casual
observer resembled the collection
plate in the primary department Of a
sunday school. Evidently a Lei o.
ncopls consider that music ousat to
he like salvation-ffee. And a lot Of
reople who would pay two dollars 10
see cheap bunch of travelling actors
put in one or two nickles.
CaDcn city audiences are always
mighty glad to have an opportunity
of hearing Troy Hughart sing. Nj.
Huziiart lived in Canon many years
and now lives in Sa'ida. He has >
splendid voice and a pleasing person
atty Many singer holds good 20
sition in big city churches who can't
sing as wei as Troy Hughart.
Walter G. Banks OF Portland, helped
in one of the cania as Sunday. He is
very popular ii Canon City, having
favored audiences here several times
with his solos and songs with others.
Nj. Banks has Tioh tenor voice with
good control.
Musicf is in higher favor in Canon
City just now perhaps than at any
time in years. Tire cboiss of all the
rhurShes are under able direction
and the directors 'are willing workers
for community affairs.
1t is fine thing 10 have public
spirited ond leaders in a town. Two
or three such can add much life and
pleasure to a>community.
What we ought TO have some time
soon is big patriotic song service.
Ey uniting the choirs of the town q
worderfu! chorus could be arranged.
Led by such chorus an audience
could, sing the patriotic songs in such
a soul-thrilling manner that 1t would
do the whole town good
This is a fardream--but music ere
ates dreams-but wouldn't it be fine
thing if some day some man, CT men
weuId build an auditorium in Canon
City which would seat 1900 or 1900
and put big pipe organ in IL? The
town is sadly deficient in an audi
forium that will seat As many people
as like TO go out to the big public
meetings or good musical entertain
nents OF course such thing would
not be q good investment as money
making concern. no more than is the
city park or the Skyline Drive. but y.
be a great service and a happy
monument TO the memory OF the
builders.
A musical home is happy home
and r community with lots OF well d
reeted music is happy. contented

AFAMILY REUNION

Riley F. Moore OF Sherman town
ship. returned last week from Green's
burg, Ind, where he attended a fam
lily reunion, the first meeting in Al
years of his four brothers and one sis
ter. One brother and the sister came
as far away as the Pacific coast for
the gathering. A feature of the re-
union was a photograph of the six,
on the site of the old homestead
where all were born. Since the break
ing up of the home more than 40
years ago, of the original seven IN
the family, only one member a sister
has died. VIII Moore and Mrs. Inez
Berch came from Seattle, Wash,
John Moore and James Moore from
Mason City, Ia. Riley Moore was the
only Kansas repres entatite, though
his brothers, James and viii, for
merly lived in this state more than
25 years ago. The union was held at
the home of George Moore, the only
member of the family still living in
Indiana.-Abilene Reflector.

pep hiked to the river where they put
up their tents and started in to follow
the program given by their Scout

the boy but to make them useful and
help them so they may be able to do
some good turn every day.
= A nice interesting week passed and
the boys broke up camp Friday feel
ing they had their moneys worth and
especially when they were getting
pan cakes and cocoa.
The boys have only been organized
a short time and they need the support
and encouragement of every one to
make it a success. Xxx

A TIME FOR SERVICE

Theodore Roosevelt.
If there is any man in the country
who is not prepared to do everything
in his power now, when the nation
calls, he had better go away.
Do not think in terms of self sac
rifice but in terms of service.N
I do not pity q man who has a
chance to risk his life for his country; !;
envy him.
There must be absolute and undiv-
ided loyalty to our flag. The events
of the past year have shown that no
man can be more loyal to two flags
than he can be to two wives
Any man who is not a good husband
is not good citizen A man must be
loyal to his wife and to his country.
Now that Germany stands as the
most efficient military autocracy the
world has ever seen, no man is a good
