in our town was the organization

The money received from the
sale of seats last week was given

matte Club to continue giving en-
tertainments and dramatic per-
formances for Public and Charit-
able benefits, as we'll as to foster
a love of dramatic art, and help
along any public spirited enter
prise that will accrue to the bet
torment of our town and COM
munity.
While the charter members are
those who so successfully render
ed The Old New Hampshire Home
last week, new members will be
added as occasion demands, and
as outlined for the purpose prin-
cipally of Charity or Public bet
terment. The organization is one
that all may be proud of, and
willing to help along.
1t is the intention of the organ
ization to render the Old New

Chesnut Writes Verse.
From Everett Press.

From Everett Press.
Glenn Chestnut, Democratic leg
islator from Fulton county, says
he believes in keeping in touch
with the home folks. In order to
keep in touch with the situation
in Harrisburg, he admits that he
has composed a little verse which
has been sent travelling around
his home country and reads some
thing like this:
"Beidleman runs tha senate,
Baldwin RUS the house,
Penros5 runs the two OF them
.rAs a cat runs q mouse.
Brumbaugh runs the Sunday School,
Mulvihlll runs the bar,
Grundy runs the whole outfit,

National Songs.

National Song Week has just
been observed in the schools of
Illinois. 1t would be interesting
to know just what songs the
children sang and whether they
really put some heart into them.
There is a lack of a good sing
able national song characteristic
of the American temperament.
THE Star Spangled Banner" is
difficult as its notes run both
high and low with wide intervals.
People would sing it more cheer
fully if it had better rhythm.
America" is merely borrowed
from John Bull. One very good
air Is commonly called "Keller's
American Hymn" but it is not
well known. 1t is vigorous and
expressive but too much the
choral style for our restless and
enthusiastic temperament.
The song best fitting our natl
onsl temperament from the mu-
steal viewpoint, is Dixie" which
will stir enthusiasm even in a
Northern audience.
A song will need something of
that tingling contagious enthusi-
asm before an American crowd
will sing it with any pep"
Rag time is really the expression
of American feeling. The mu-
sicians see that there is value in
even this despised type of musi-
cal notation 1t is up to some
song writer with a genius for ex-
pressing the temperament of a
people, to produce a patriotic
song having a touch of rag time
Jingle about it, yet dignifed with
strong, virile harmony and with

The Value Of Lent.

The traditional observance of
Lent is an interesting contrast
with the spirit of the modern
world, with its emphasis on phys
ical pleasure, the value of money
and the search for diverting
amusements. The modern world
questions such a custom and pokes
fun at it, as merely a relic of
Journalism. Yet it may have a
value not suspected in our hurry
ing life.
The church feels the spirit Of
the age enough that the old rig
ors of its observance have dis
appeared. Of course there are
still a large number of persons
having a keen spiritual and mysti
cal sense, who follow it in much
of the old fashioned manner.
They deny the flesh the things
flesh Graves. Thereby they feel
that the calling grip of material
thoughts upon their spirits is re-
laxed. Earth seems more distant
and heaven nearer.
The burdens and the fascina-
tons of the world fill their minds
and can't be evaded. Life is a
struggle in which they need all
Of the physical strength they
possess. The churches make
liberal notifications of the old
rule of Lent to working people"
Most people in this unspiritual
age give their bodies the bene-
fit of doubt, and live a good deal
as usual.
Yet there are thousands and
thousands of society people to
whom a Lenten season of self
denial would be a godsend. 1t
would rest their strained nerves
give their overloaded stomachs a
rest from hearty late eating give
them needed sleep. Many of
them instinctively feel this and
welcome a period of quiet and
abstention. But the majority
still continue wearing out body
and soul in the frenzied effort to
kill time and fill life even fuller
of thrills and novelty.

Soaked" Peas and Beans.

owing to the great demand n
consequent high prices for cd
ned peas and beans, many "a

gives the peas and beans md
the same appearance as the frs
article. Products made in n
way may be wholesome, but,
pointed out, they are genera
less desirable than those preDJ
ed from fresh peas and bend
Furthermore, if the consuD
desires the dried product ID
much cheaper to buy the dri
peas and beans directly from

In this way the same article
