MUSIC WILL HELP INVALID
Physicians Are Beginning to Believe
More and More In the Good Effects
Of Sweet Strains.

During the thirteenth century, when
the Arabs dominated large portion
Of Europe and were carrying the
torch of learning" through that period,
they established great hospitals for
the treatment of all kinds of ailments.
A striking feature of some Of these
hospitals was a music room, where
musicians played continuously through
out the "a hours for the benefit of the
patients. The Arab physicians of that
day believed that music had very
positive therapeutic effect.
Recently an analysis of the effects
Of various types of music has been
made by DIR. Thomas ]. Mays, which
may be epltomlzed as follows: Ma
jor music is tonic to the emotions
which may be compared to stimulant
dose Of strychnine or qulnine. while
minor music depresses emotional ac-
tivity In manner comparable to bro
mide or sleeping potion. The ap-
parent objections to this theory are
easily met; and Doctor Mays believes
that music as an agent In the treat
ment of consumption has probably
stronger claim on the scientific atten-
ton of the medical profession than
many Of the remedies that are In use
at the present time. Keeping In mind
the undercurrent Of tribulation and
oppression that is nearly always pres
ent In the minds Of those suffering
from consumption. 1t would seem prob
able that by far the larger number Of
cases would receive benefit from vari-
GUS forms Of major music. And the
same would be true Of any form Of
chronic disease.
For stages of high mental or nerv-
GUS tension, minor music Is indicated.
And In this connection 1t Is significant
that music has been one Of the thera-
peutic measures used in all our great
insane asylums for more than gener-
alton.

STOLLAR SCHOOL IS
BIG SOCIAL CENTER
McQUOWN TALKS TELEPHONE
The People In This Community Are Strong
For Any Movement That Means A
Better Mode Of Living, Want Il

A meeting was held at the Stollar
school last Friday night for the purpose
of meeting the members of the Ray
mer Commercial club who are in charge
Of the ways and means regarding the
construction of The Raymer Telephone
system A dance and social time was
enjoyed after the telephone proposition
had been explained.
Mr.. McQuown is a big, good natured
chap, and delights in giving his friends
an agreeable surprise occasionally. We
will let him tell you what happened:
1.-The big game was on at the Ray
mer high school when we shot by head
ed for the Stollar school. 1t was S:45
by the clock and we were due there at
nine o'clock; so over the hills and far
away and at the door of the school
house we jumped out at exactly 9:20.
Losing no time in making our en-
trance armed with 150-candle power
Delco lamp In one hand, our telephone
dope in the other, We proceeded to the
center Of the room, after much pushing
and crowding and hung the electric
glimmer on the stove pipe, much to the
surprise of the l50-yes, we counted
them. They were introduced to US, fol-
lowed by grand applause. We then
went into minute detail regarding the
possibilities of that missing link-the
telephone-so necessary to every COM
munity. All eyes were directed our
way, and we never swayed.
"Our explanation was much in sym.
pathy with all present and was fire.
quently broken by applause. We be-
came friends almost from the start and
were happy to see that these good peo-
Pile were with US, almost to a man.
Then the orchestra struck up a
lively two-step, and all who could shove
through the trenches danced in the
Bright Moonlight furnished by the Del
co lamp. Now, when it comes to
dancing we are back number. believe
me, we missed the time of our lives,
for among the dancers were many fail
maidens, and we longed to bid them
for the next.
AT any rate we had a glorious time
as the hours wassed like minutes, and
we were obliged to part from this hap
py bunch altogether to soon.
"Home Sweet Horne was played by
the musicians, and the evening of al
evenings became only history in oul
book Of pleasant memories.
'Above the burr Of motors of theil
'Henrys'we could hear their invitations
Come again Friday after next! Be
lieve me, we will if We can get there.

Seek Fabric to Replace Cotton.

Since the cotton supply Of Austria
Hungary has been practically shut off
by the blockade, scientists and manu-
facturers have co-0perated In devising
a paper fabric to replace it, A number
Of varieties Of paper fabric are now in
actual service. Some Of them have u
warp Of paper yarn and include mix
ture of cotton and paper In the filling.
Others are composed Of paper alone.
Turkish cotton. which has ordinarily
been considered. too poor to weave into
clsth. is utilized In this paper fabric,
as is also nettle hber, which has been
found to possess great possibilities as
a cotton substitute. Old rags are being
converted into paper fabric used for
many Of the purposes for which cotton
cloth is now used. Chemical processes
have toughened and strengthened the
paper fabric so as to Increase its de-
sirability.

new BUSINESS TO
OPEN IN RAYMER
ANOTHER LUMBER YARD HERE
New Company To Bs Known As The A. 0.
B|oedorn Lumber Company, And Is
A Local Concern In All Ways

We understand that Raymer is to
have another lumber yard. The project
has been considered for some time by
different parties.
The parties are from Nebraska, have
experience and capital back of them.
For time they talked of buying, but
became convinced that the field was
promising enough so that two yards
would be in the field before the end Of
the year. they decided that they would
make the second.
There is large amount of building
in sight not only for the town, but
farmers are going to be improving
their places, building houses and barns,
and competition ought to widen the
territory of the town so that two yards
may each do good and profitable
business.
The new company will be known as
the A. o. Bloedorh Lumber Company.
Mr.. A. o. Bloedorn will be the man
ager and will make this place his home.
Among the stockholders in the COM
pany are E. M. Frantz, of Holdrege,
Nebraska; Mr.. Chas. F. w. Bloedorn,
of Franklin, Nebraska; and B. J. Hills
beck, of Kenesaw, Nebraska. This is
local concern in its nature and meth
DDS of handling its business, and is
not "line' company, and are not in
terested in chain of lumber yards.
Work was started on the company's
Office buildings the first of the week,
and Manager Bloedorn informs US that
he expects to be able to open for bust
ness in about ten days.
1t means another business man added
to Raymer's live ones. We give him
hearty welcome.

pletely in the hands of his Maker.
Throughout his illness he bore his suf-
ferings with remarkable heroism and
fortitude, winning the affection of all
who came in touch with him.

WHEAT EXPECTED TO GO
HIGHER THAN So MINIMUM
Food Administration Proposes Bct-
ter Rate; Price to BE Estab-
lishcd Next Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.--The
price paid by the food administration
for the portion 1t buys of the 19l,
wheat crop probably will exceed 81 a
bushel, it was learned today. The
committee headed by DR.. II. \. Gar
field, which will recommend a price
will submit its report early next week.
In recommending price thc cou>
mittee, ii was said today, will taNe
into consideration the fact that Inv
producer must receive enough to
stimulate production next year and a..
the same time will consider carefully
war conditions and the rights OF the
consumer. In passing the food con-
troll bill congress set an arbitrary
price OF SO on the 1918 wheat crop.
The hope of the food administration
is thai the government price rlxed
will obtain in all private transactions
thruout the year and 1t is ready TO
buy up the entire crop for distribu-
ton If prices can not be stabilized by
the mere fixing of food adminlstra-
ton price.
