MODERN OwRCHESTRAS
THE PLACE FILLED BY THE
BRASS INSTRUMENTS.

The brass instruments in. a mod
ern symphony orchestra are of five
kinds, the French horn, the trumpet,
the cornet, trombone and tuba.
The French horn, if Strengthened
out, would be II feet long. 1t Is the
sweetest and mellowest of wind in
struments. The trumpet and cornet
are well known, being the leading in
struments of a brass band. /.
OF the trombone Mendelssohn is
quoted as saying, 1T is too sacred TO
use often" Trombones are marvel
ously expressive, without a peer when
a solemn and spiritually uplifting eff
feet is to be attained. They IA also
be made to sound menacing and lu-
gubrious, devout and hooking, pom
pously heroic, majestic and lofty.
They are often the heralds of the or
chestra, and make procla-
nations. AS a rule there are three
trombones, two tenor and a bass.
The tuba, despite its gigantic size,
is exceedingly tractable and car roar
you as gently as any sucking dove.

COMMISSIONERS RIDE
LOCATE FORGOTTEN LOIS
RIDE TO VIEW DITCH
OUTLETS.

The county commissioners went to-
day TO the site of the mouth OF ditch
No. 8 TO satisfy themselves ais TO the
reliability of certain claims made
with regard to the disposition of wa
ter from The drained land.
I'm the afternoon they went to the
former townsite of Herman, on the
shore Of Lake Herman. where they
established the location Of two lots
which they purchased yesterday from
Thomas Atkinson for S175. The
county obtained a tax deed for the
townsite abandoned many years ago,
and were proceeding no vacate the
site and return the tract TO acreage.
The tract comprises 50.25 acres. in
Guiding lots, streets and railway right
of way
The county has been renting the
piece for some years. including the
two lots owned by Mr.. Atkinson. the
piece being described as lot g.. sec
tion 11-106-53. 1t was at the begin
ming Of vacating procedure that it
was found that the lots, i'm two sepa-
rate parcels. We're i'm the midst of the
tract. To vacate the tract. it would
be necessary to leave highways from
each lot. So the county bought the
lots.
Mr.. Atkinson's deed was dated i'm
1880. when the town Of Herman was
being built. and he has enjoyed un-
productive ownership since. as his
Tots were included i'm the whole when
rented to the lessees since the acqui-
sition by the county.

CALL
CHANCE OF FAILURE TO HOLD
OFFICE SMAII--lDRMIR
OFFICERS FREE.

The danger of my being ordered
into the service IS no greater than
that of any other man." explained
James Robertson today. It has
been suggested that if / We're elected
10 the mayorship Of Madison, having
been an officer Of the South Dakota
national guard. the first call would
include me. and the office Of mayor
be vacant"
Mr.. Robertson explained that
when he was mustered out of the
service the names of the officers
were retained. If he were to %reenlist
the fact of his having had military
training and having been raised TO an
office of commission would not make
him more liable TO military dut".
Even in the event of a possible call
TO take up again his commission, he
could resign his office. as all COM
missioned Officers can. This does
not necessarily mean that he would,
but goes to show that it would not
rob a city of its mayor unless he
We're willing, or the necessity Of men
should be so great as 10 make draft
ing necessary.
No apprehension need be felt that
the city would lose a mayor from the
fact only that Mr.. Robertson has had
office i'm the state national guard.
His liability is no greater than that
of any other man of the same age and
physical condition.

PATRIOTISM AND CHRIST
MAS TREES.

Patriotism requires many sacri-
fees of us. We must sacrifice even
some of Our most cherished ideas
and sentiments. A Jew who would
never think of exhibiting the most
characteristic symbol of Christian
ity, the Cross, either on his person
or in his home, will yet decorate
himself with a Red Cross button,
and hang out Red Cross card in
the window of his home. He does
it out of pure loyalty to the cause
and call of his country. He shows
his interest in the work that the
great organization, whose emblem
he is wearing, is doing, and he wish
es to stimulate interest and enthus-
iasm in others.
There is, however, no such reason
for Jews to decorate their homes
with wreaths of holly and Christmas
trees during the gay Yuletide. There
is nothing patriotic about that. 1t
is pure thoughtless apishness. All
the ideas symbolized by the ever
green emblems are foreign to us,
have been rejected by us these nine
teen hundred years. AS season
of goodwill and cheer it may ap-
peal to our generosity, and stimu-

ZIONISTS, AWAKE!

The greatest moment in the his
tory of the Jewish people has now
arrived. The eighteen centuries old
hope and yearning for the reassem-
bling of the scattered of Israel in
his old home, for the revival of Is
rael's national existence, for the re-
storation of Israel's free and indepen-
dent life, are now nearing fulfillment.
With the definite promise of the Brit
ish government, and the sympathetic
attitude of the governments of the
United States and the other Allies, the

QUEER REASONING.

To the JOY that has come to Zion
lists these days there is being added
considerable amusement and fun in
the arguments and contentious Of
the anti-Zionists who are making
one last desperate and vociferous
stand. One distinguished rabbi in
the East tells us that "the political
experiment twice made in ancient
times by our people was not bril-
liantly successful" He, therefore,
expresses the fear that the present
experiment may also result disas-
trously. Living for about thousand
years in their little country, as our
forefathers did in ancient times, is
called political experiment. Baby
lonia, Assyria, Phoenicia, Greece,
Carthage, Rome, Egypt-all made
similar political experiments, and all
were at one time or another over
whelmed by greater powers. That
does not deter modern nations, in
Guiding Italy and Greece, from con-
tinuing the political experiment of
living in their own countries as free
and Independent states.
Another brilliant rabbi out West
is in mortal fear lest the Jewish neo-
nationalists, led by such men as
Max Nordau, "who have thrown re-

late neighborliness on our part. Re-
membering our friends and associ-
ates with gifts, and extending to
them our good wishes, is always in
order. But that is as far as we need
go. To have holly wreaths in our
windows and Christmas trees for our
children is to make concessions to
ideas and beliefs to which our Juda-
ism is Numerically opposed. Let
us not lose our Jewish self-respect.

autonomous

establishment of an autonomous
Jewish state in Palestine depends
now only upon the final triumph of
the Allies and the conclusion of
permanent peace. But more than
upon the Allies victorious peace
does it depend upon the will, the
efforts, the zeal of the Jews them
selves. The Great Powers must find
a united, eager, and enthusiastic
Jewish body to negotiate with, a
body Of Jews willing and ready to
assume all responsibility, to furnish
the men and the money, to direct
the migration, to organize the new
settlements, and all the necessary
enterprises for the rehabilitation of
the country.
The call, therefore, comes to us
Zionists now to wake up, to bestlr
ourselves, to muster our forces, to
array ourselves in one solid phalanx.
Let not future Psalmist sing of
us: When the Lord restored the
captivity of Zion, we were like
dreamers. True, the restoration of
Israel and Zion which is coming so
speedily, 50 marvelously, does look
like a dream. But we should not
be found mapping or dreaming. Ii
onists in every community should
perfect their organizations, and thru
the chosen officers of such organiza-
ton stand in constant touch with
the leaders of the movement, follow
every step in the new development,
and be prepared for action when
ever called upon. This is our great
opportunity. Let us not be found
wanting.

THE CHILDREN'S HOME.

We are now returning to this sub
ject more confidently and hopefully
than we approached it when we first
wrote about it. The matter is now
receiving the attention of those of
the Jewish community of Mime
apolis who are active in all COM
munal and charitable endeavors.
They are all convinced of the imper-
alive need of such an institution,
and they are all determined that the
need should be met as soon as pos
sible.
A favorable opportunity for TAX
ing this matter up and discussing
the necessary plans, ways and means
for it's accomplishment is the forth
coming meeting of the Associated
Charities in January. The discussion
of this project will add zest to the
occasion. All those who are inter-
ested in the establishment of such a
home fer homeless Jewish children
in Minneapolis should be present at
the meeting.
Should a committee of active and
energetic men and women be en-
trusted with the working out of the
plan and it's realization, such a home
ought to be in existence by next
spring. It may be possible to con-
vince a certain organization of we'll
meaning men and women to turn

Free Shelter and Talmud Torah-an
entirely unnecessary institution
those in charge of the establishment
of children's home to be used for
this purpose. With the many
demands made upon people nova
days for contributions to patriotic
and philanthropic causes, it is GER
tainly the part of wisdom, yea, COM
mon sense, to sacrifice the unnec-
essary for the necessary.
