 SONGS AND ADDRESSES.

Stratton of the Stevens company The respective vocal and instrumental solos were much enjoyed and the ad- dresses were most timely and teemed with helpful suggestions.
 Rev, Dr Kendrick also made the announcement that at the meeting of the State Baptist Association the sum of S1,350 had been raised in less than half an hour to purchase a tent in which to hold religious services for the soldier boys in Camp Buregard, and that in addition to the money there were also contributed type writers and piano.
 1t was also stated by Mir Moody that the w. c. T. U cf the state had yesterday sent 1000 comfort bags, each one containing needles and thread and other useful articles, in cluding q small Testament and songs, many of the latter being of patri otic nature, to the men aboard the battleship Arkansas.

The subject for tomorrow evening is "The Soul Win ner," and it is Rev. Dr. Hendricks de- sire that all members of the church attend.

Mr.. REDF|ELD REPLIES
TO HOUSE CRITICISM
Letter Concerning Land Purchase
BY Bureau Of Standards Referred
to District Committee.

In reply to criticism made on the
floor Of the House in relation to the
purchase Of land by the bureau of
standards and the action in with
holding the appropriation for addi-
tional lands for the bureau. Secre-
tary Redfield has written a letter to
Speaker Clark which has been referred
to the House District committee.
Secretary Redfeld said: 1T should
in the first place be pointed out that
the criticism made in the House did
not apply to that land purchase,
which at the request of the chairman
of the committee on appropriations
bill by the action to which reference
is made in tho second instance. The
two transactions were separate and
different, and have no direct relations
to one another. The criticism Of one
purchase was made the occasion for
the rejection of an appropriation for
n different purchase"
Secretary Redfield discusses the de-
sira btlity of the purchase and the ef-
forts made by the bureau OF stand
ards and the Department of Com
merce to obtain the property at the
best possible ,s terms ~, Tor r,tn the govern
made of values paid by other pur-
chasers in the same territory, It will
be clear that not only was the price
paid by the bureau Of standards not
excessive. but that the government
made an excellent and reasonable pur-
chase. II the purchase were to be
made again we are not aware how
more scrupulous care could be given
to ascertaining the facts from every
point Of view. nor do we believe a
more advantageous purchase to the
sible"
