THE CLOSING ORDER.

The order issued on the 18th of the
present month by virtue Of which the
churches, schools, theatres, picture
shows and pool rooms were indefn-
itely closed on account of the preva-
lence of Spanish influenza in our
city, has been under serious consid-
Grafton for the past few days with
the result that it is considered best
that the order remain in force at
least a few days longer, except as it
applies to the churches and Sunday
schools. The churches and Sunday
schools may open Sunday, October
9th.
This decision is reached by the City
Board upon the advice of the County
Physician and pursuant to action Of
the City School Board deferring the
opening Of the schools until further
notice.

The City Cannot
Remove AnLeaves

The city authorities cannot be ex-
pected to move leaves removed from
yards to the streets of the city. The
officials have all they can do to keep
the leaves off the paved streets that
fall from trees. So parties who pile
leaves on the paved streets will have
to bear the expense of having them
removed. They are also forbidden
to burn them upon the asphalt paw
ing, as it damages the street. Burn
your leaves in your back lots, or pile
them up and have them hauled away
is the better and safer plan.

A LETTER FROM THE FRONT
Dear Sister and Brother -

Dear Sister and Brother:--
Your letter received. / was very
much pleased after reading your let
ter and finding that you are well at
date Of your letter. | am well at
this writing, and hope when this let
ter reaches you across the Atlantic
it will find you well and enjoying life.
am wondering what the people
are thinking of this great war. From
the little experience | have had, /
have found that it is no joke, al
though some of the boys seem to take
it as a joke. But believe me | am not
going to take it that way, as it is a
very serious thing and above all |
am going to try and take care Of my
self, and do my best while ! am over
here. Don't know how long the war
is going to last, but Judge it will be
over by Christmas goodness knows
when we will get back, but ] am hop
ing it will be soon.
Well, am at the front and have
been there for four days. This
place here is a desert, and the only
things YOU can see here are hills,
rocks and trees, shot to pieces by the
German and French guns. There are
rats here big enough to carry off any
ordinary person. If it were not for
some Of the boys talking in their
sleep at night, they would get US.
but such noise as that would scare
anything away, and that is the only
guard we have in our dugout at night
and figure it a pretty good guard.
| am afraid some of us will wake up
in No Mans Land if we don't watch
ourselves, ha, ha!
The only thing that keeps us from
getting lonesome is when the German
airplanes come over we can then
watch the Frenchmen shoot at them,
and it is real amusing to watch them
get back within their own lines.
Before / left the states / didn't
think / could sleep very sound with so
much noise, but have found that it
does not bother me very much. But
after the real guns start I may not
sleep SO soundly. After l lie down
! can hear reports Of the artillery on
the west side Of US, and it is a con-
tinual bombardment on both sides Of
us. The sky is Illuminated by the
guns, and out just a little ways are
shell holes from four to FIVE feet
deep and in these may be found
skeletons Of skulls, holes where feet

Dear Brother and family

Dear Brother and family
Haven't time to write but few
lines with my Dutch stationery and
ink. Am still we'll and living, and
hope to remain so. Suppose you are
all well.s
We are having some hard time
keeping up with the Boche. Proba-
bly, the papers have report Of the
new drive, in which something over
10000 prisoners were taken besides
lots Of supplies. Lots of villages
have been burned as the Germans
retreated. Talk about torn np
country; we never did come across
some of it. am afraid we are going
little too fast, but am hoping not.
Am sending couple Of small SOU
venirs. Have lot but can't carry
so many. Last night | slept between
German blankets, and had a chance
to sleep in Boche ambulance. Have

Popular Wartime SonR Hits.

The Shannon Four present this
month on Victor Records Tom, Dick
and Harry and Jack" which tells the
boys to BE quick and do the trick" so
they can come back to the homes and
sweethearts that await them so bravely.
On the other side of the same record
the Peerless Quartet sings "Au Revoir
but Not Goodbye, Soldier Boy" an
equally CHEEKY number IN the same
strain. The line, when you've won
your victory God will bring you back
to me-" further elucidates the purport
of its sentiment.
'Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight
describes the supplication of a little one
whose daddy is lover there" 1t is
effectively sung by Henry Burr on
new Victor Record.
On the reverse side Percy Hemus
sings On the Road to Home, Sweet
Home" The song is a reminder that
no matter how far the loved one NAV
have gone there is a Hand that viii
guide his footsteps back to those he left
behind.
A strain from Home Sweet Home"
is appropriately interviewer with this
melody. Mr.. Hemus is a prominent
American artist who has temporarily
given up his own career in order to
teach sailors how to sing.
Other striking popular melodies ap-
pearing on new Victor Records are:
IN Take You Back to Italy" pre-
sented by Ada Jones and Billy Murray
"a Conversation" song in Italian dia-
lect between an East-side organ-grinder
and Marie; Round Her Neck She
Wears a Yeller Ribbon"-for her lover
who is fur, fur away" rendered by the
American Quartet; care You From
Heaven? :" sung by Henry Burr; "Give
Me the Right to Love You" rendered
by the Sterling Trio; "I'd like TO be a
Monkey in the Zoo" and "Go-Zin-To,"
both sung by Frances White.

The art of calli-cureifinely displayed
IN 81 Puritani."

Here is an aria primarily designed TO
show of a singers vocal gifts. With
consummate art Galli-Cruci has made
these passages of vocal display a means
OF intense emotional expression on a
new Nictrola Record just issued. For
sheer vocal dexterity this record is re-
markable. There are many brilliant
passages, and singers will note with
envy and admiration the ease with
which Galli-Cruci sings difficult, rap
Understanding chromatic scales-one Of
the hardest things to do vocally.
One Of the most pathetic scenes IN all
the old Italian operas is that in ST
Puritani" in which Elvira, the Puritan
English maid, having discovered that
her lover had apparently deserted her
on her wedding day. betrays the fact
that her mind is unhinged. AS her
mind dwells upon the past the music is
sung in tenderest accents. Presently,
however, belief that her lover will re-
turn brings a new note Of hope, and
the melancholy opening phrases give
place TO more joyous strains. The music
is not unlike that Of the mad Scene"
from Lucia"

New Dance Numbers on Victor
Records.

Dancers may consider themselves
fortunate IN the presentation of two
such catchy tunes as Tickle Toe" a
medley Fox-Trot, and Going Up"
medley One-Step from the recently
produced happy-go-lucky musical farce,
Going Up" The Victor Military Band,
which plays them, adds color and zest
with its mellow brass and woodwind
and the clash of cymbals.
The first two of a series OF standard
songs interpreted by Laura Littleheld
appear on new Victor Records Just IS
sued. They are the Cradle Song" and
The Little Dustman" by Brahms. Both
have become classics in the realm of
children's songs. Mrs. Littlefeld has a
soprano voice OF fresh and vibrant
quality and an interpretative gift both
of which she uses with telling effect
in the Interpretation OF these two ex-
Quisite gems.

brave and stubborn fighter. He has,
however, lost his enthusiasm for

John Mccormack Inspires Faith for
These Troublous Times.

Like the sun breaking through the

comes 4 message to the heart cast down

of trust that Mccormack, on new

ate sincerity. Granting that the war
has brought untold misery, it a well
known fact that in France and Eng
land thece has been great renewal of
religious faith. Torn with anguish and
spent with grief that no human agency
can palliate, men are turning again
to the "God of our Fathers, known Of
Old" and IN the light of that faith are
finding new courage to bear whatever
suffering may yet be theirs.
Apart from its message the song IS

Boston Symphony Orehestrs plays
''Marche Miniature"

This charming example of the lighter
vein of a composer whose most notable
work was an overpowering expression
OF gloom, suggests some curious pageant
IN tairyland rather than anything hui
man. "Marche Miniature" arrests at
tention from the start. The tune is
simple. straightforward, and easily
grasped, but by no means Commonplace.
It is truly remarkable that the inter
probation of such beautiful symphonies
by so noted a musical organization as
the Boston Symphony Orchestra can
now be successfully preserved, as is the
case with this Tschaikowslly produc-
ton on Victrola Records.
