THIS bell. the most treasured relic

clapper while being tested and was
re-cast In Philadelphia in 1753 Again
It proved defective and again II was
re-cast. The words proclaim Liberty
Throughout All the Land Unto All the
Inhabitants Thereof" are inscribed up
on Il.
Before the British occupied Phil
adelphia It was taken down and hid
In the Delaware river. being removed
later and returned to Its former po-
sition.
1t fulfilled the prophecy Of Its In
scription when. In 1776 1t rang out
the glad tidings that the ID states had
ratified the Declaration Of Independ-
ence.
For fifty years or more 1t rang In
the celebration of every national an
niversary. On July 8, 1885. while
tolling for the funeral of Chief Justice
Marshall. 1t cracked again and has
been mute ever since.
SO that all Americans might see
this venerable and hallowed relic, 1t

1884 II went to New Orleans. In 1893
to Chicago, In 1895 to Atlanta, In 1902

THE GREAT ORGAN OF L3iE
MORMoNS.

MUSIC and song long have played

Saints are no exception to the rule.
President Brigham Young believed II
impossible TO preach the gospel with
out good music.
In the early sixties plans were laid
for the building Of suitable organ
for their apeat tabernacle I'm Salt Lake
City. The forests of the state were
searched for the most satisfactory
woods. Proper tools had to be de-
vised and made. Glue had to be OBJ
tanned. There were no railroads in
Utah In those days. The problem was
not an easy one. 1t developed that
the best wood grew three hundred
miles or more south of the city. II
was hauled the entire distance. over
rough roads and through the wilder
ness. by OK teams. Glue was made by
boiling strips of COW hide over fire
pots. About one hundred men We're
employed. Some of the immense
pipes Of the great instrument were 30
feet long. But music was what they
wanted and have It they did. The or
gan Is said to be the sweetest-toned
and the largest save one, In the world.
The original organ has been rebuilt
and enlarged until it now has seven
divisions, the main organ being GO feet
wide. PC feet deep and 50 feet high.

How Others Can Help.
PREFER LONG, SMOOTH CORN
Nebraska Farmers Believe That Kind
Of Ear Will Stand More Grief
Than Other Types.

Over large part Of Nebraska they
have come to the conclusion that
corn with along, smooth ear will ordi-
narily stand more grief and yield more
than corn Of the so-called show type.
The Nebraska station has four years
Of experimenting which indicates that
the large, rough type Of ear yields an
average of 81 bushels to the acre; the
short, rough, 81 bushels; the short,
smooth, 81 bushels, and the long, slim,
smooth. 50 bushels. For some reason
corn with long. SLIM smooth ears that
partake slightly Of flint characters
tics, stands trouble better than the
more fancy-loobing corn of central
Iowa and Illinois.
