Acclaimed as Great Artist.

Gatty Sellars, concert organist Of the
Queens Hall and Crystal Palace mu-
sic festivals London, England, who
plays here next Wednesday evening at
the Methodist church, has been ac-
claimed the worlds greatest descrip-
tive Organist. One writer says: What
Paderewski is to the piano, Gatty Sci
lars is to the organ. and it will be
musical event of the highest Importance
to hear the Paderewski of the organ"
Even those who are not unsteady in
clined are held spellbound, as, they
would be at an intense drama, by his
realistic rendition Of "A Storm in the
Alps the lightning, thunder, rain and
wind sounding almost as in real life,
or "rhe Russian Patrol" by Rubin
stein, where the realistic sounds OF
tramping, struggling troops are SO life
like THAI one critic accused Mr.. Sellars
of CARRYING company Of men with him
to make the sound of tramping behind
the organ. Music lovers will he en-
chanted when they hear the world
famed artist in classical selections by
the great masters-frOm Bach and
Wagner to Sir Edward Elgar and Cat
ty Sellars himself, who is one Of Eng
lands foremost composers. MI. Sellars
uses Il set of cathedral chimes with the
organ. The same program will be Civ
en- which has delighted audiences av-
eraging from five to ten thousand peo-
tple in such auditoriums as Queens
Hall and Crystal Palace. London, or.
the Auditorium, Los Angeles, or the

tbs BUT A LITTLE
FADED FLOWER.

TITS but little faded flower,
But, oh, how fOndly dear!
Twill bring me back one golden hour,
Through many a weary year.
T may not to the world imparc
The secret of its power,
But treasured in my Utmost heart
keep my faded flower.
Where is the heart that doth not keep
Within it's Utmost core,
Some fond remembrance. hidden deep
OF days that are no more?
Who hath not saved some trifiing thing
More priced than jewels rare
A faded flower, a broken ring,
a tress of golden hair?

THE FROGS OF FRANCE.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We called you Frogs, my hearties,
With your regimental blue
And p'raps twas not through lOvin
That we wished the name on you,
But now that you have got it
And its likely it will cling,
1t seems that maybe, somehow,
There's meanin' to the thing.
Through four long fearful. winters
In your chilly Flanders boys.
You've squatted-eating, sleeping,
In your mud holes-irst like frogs,
Like frOgs--wliOse spots have mingled
With each grass and stone and
stick
YOu camOuflaged your hiding
You were first to pull the trick.
Like frogs you sat and squinted
Cross at Fritzie-day by day.
But you We're tout suite beancoup
When You lcaped into the fray.
You left a heap o. frogs legs
In those marshes where you soaked
Where tens and tens of thousands
OF your punctured poilus croaked
Yes. we've dubbed you fogs, my heart
les,
With your spattered rags of blue.
With your scars and stumps ana
clutches
Which you'll carry till you're
through
But well you've proved your fitness
For the rank You got by chance,
And so once more here's to you,
Oh. you dauntless frogs of France!

10000 tin Containers go to

WASTE OF PURE, TIN
Machines are Perfected to
Save This and Other
Metals.

Nearly 100000 tin cans of one Kind or
heaps in Webster City. if the per capita
estimate received from the department
of commerce and labor is correct Re
storing the abandoned can to its former
industrial usefulness. is sought by the
department, which proposes to provide
the necessary machinery for the con-
taclcs.
Details of the reclamation service
are given in communication received
from the department of labor. In the
canning of fruits and vegetables APP
IprcXimatcly ,OOO,OO0O0O cans, or
twenty for each person, are required.
This vast number of cans represents a
weight OF 100000 tons. in which ma
teriaI there is found about 5000 tons
of pure tin. AS 1T is intended to con-
serve this material, a machine for de-
capitating cans has been manufactured.
Establish Plants.
The tops and bottoms of the cans
will be shipped to defining plants to
be established in variOus sections OF
the country. A deheading machine cuts
the tops and bottoms and presses tn"
can fiat. These fiat sheets are employ
ed in the manufacture of asbestos
sheets, toys, box covers and many other
articles This system is declared to be
more profitable than the defining
method.
= Is Much Waste.
On an average thirteen tons of disable
material for every 1000 population are
sent to the scrapheap annually. Two
per cent of this volume is composed
of tin cans. 'lHle deheading machine
that is to he used will enable com
munity to abandon this, inefficient way
of disposal says the bulletin, and at
the same time increase the value of the
tin can about 300 per cent over the re-
turn procured in some centers.
.'rhe waste reclamation service is III
yestigating the operation of M electri-
cal furnace which will doubtless solve
the problem. This furnace will detin
the abandoned material at the point OF
accumulation. Use of this furnace and
cutting machine will widen the field OF
conservation and save the destruction
of much valuable material that would
otherwise be cast off. Under the pres
ont system the tin is recovered. but the
remainder of the material is SACRIFICED
in order TO procure the tin that is IN
the cans"

wAuwATosA's SCHOOL
(Communication.)

The Wauwatosa News, in its last
weeks issue contained an article set
ting forth the need for increased
school facilities in Wauwatosa.
This article showed that the pres
ent rate of growth in school popula-
ton is from 100 to 125 children per
year.
In our central grade building, the
children are badly overcrowded now,
and with 100 to 125 more children
added to their number another year,
the situation will be critical.
Plans have been worked out to build
a school building in installments, as
the growth of population requires, and
will result ultimately, in a building OIL
from 16 to "a school Tooms, with Oh
ices for the principal and the health
.inspection department, teachers rest
room, a library, well lighted and ade-
ouate coat rooms, an up date DO
nestle Science department, and a gen
eral assembly room.
Our domestic Science department is
now located in the High School, the
sewing in two rooms needed by the
science department, the cooking in the
basement room which must be gwen
over to the manual training boys, now
too crowded in their present quarters.
The time has come, when ne need
an additional teacher in Domestic
Science. Sewing for fifth grade girls
had TO be abandoned this year, as
there were too many classes per day
in this department TO crowd IN httl
Grade sewing class. In most schools,
instruction in manual arts IS gwen
to fourth grade girls.
In the proposed new building the
slope of land on the west end OF the
school ground, will afford basement
rooms ON the west end OF the build
ing. with tall windows, insurlng an
abundance of light and air for mod
ern. up to date Domestic Science de-
partment. thus giving more room IN
the High School for the science anu
manual training departments
Another provision in the proposed
new building. is for an assembly room.
principaIs and teachers IN gfaded
schools are loud in proclaiming the
necessity for, and advantages OF, a
General assembly room for every
Graded school. All the modern, up TO
date schools are provided with such an
ossamblv hall where the principal and
other speakers may talk to the entire
