of good things were offered besides

to this because it appeared to De

Commission to the fact that the

it not. At that time cities were
drawing with horse teams twice that
distance and more. AS far as adVan-
tages to the county are concerned
one line would be as good as the
other, but for Union City no line IN
the county offers the advantages OF
the Gibbs line. Anyway committee
was appointed to offer the sugges-

Mr.. Cobb arose to motion that
an organization be formed to build
homes in Union City, pointing out
how these homes could be built on
an annual rental. He proposes
corporation and capital stock to
build these homes on a basis estab-

loan organizations. Several spoke
to the motion, and the Childs Spec

Co. offered each to take $1,000 in
stock to such an enterprise.

Matinee Music Club.

The Matinee Music Club passed
a very pleasant as we'll as beneficial
assembly period Wednesday after
noon in the home of Mrs. j. r. Cum
nineham. After matters of impor-
tance pertaining to the club welfare
were discussed and satisfactorily
disposed of, the lesson of the after
noon, "The Problem of Expression =
was zealously considered, Mrs. E.
M. Long, leading.
Lesson Discussion:
That music is an art of discussion
rather than a temporary amusement
seems plain to all who look beneath
is surface, otherwise, it never could
have gained it's place in human az
fairs, never could have won its un-
shaken hold upon human affection.
Yet the question is often asked: II
music is an art of expression, what
does it express? And again: Shall
we receive definite communications
of thought and an awakening OF Wis
ual imagination as in poetry, or, is
musical sound restricted to the stir
ring of vague. intangible sense OF
awe or delight? In word, has mu-
sic a meaning? And If so, is this
meaning impaired by direct action
of sound or through association OF
ideas?
To answer these questions, to at
tempt to determine the nature of
the expressive power of music, one
must draw comparison between mu-
sic and the other arts, survey boun-
daries and discover where they di-
verge and where they coincide. Note
the message which comes from each
art, clear the senses and cultivate
a capacity to grasp the message, to
respond to the call of beauty in
whatever shape or color or sound,
for the call is urgent. 1t is an ut
terance that is not the language of
speech; it is incapable OF transla-
tion into words, yet, it is found in
the ertful arrangement of lights and
shadows of painting, it is found in
the proportioned masses and decora-
tive patterns of architecture, in the
graceful lines of sculpture, and in
the surge and rythm of poetry. This
kindred element, expression, associ-
ated with the arts of painting, ar
chitecture, sculpture and verse
the element that stirs the human
heart without the aid of defining
power of the understanding, is the
same psychogenic influence, the
same stimulating fame that plays

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16. - BY
unanimous decision the supreme
court this morning held the Illinois
primary election law Of 1919 uncon-
Stitutional. This decision throws
state central committees of the polit-
ical parties and all county central
committees out and reinstates old
committees elected under the old pri-
mary law.
1t dislodges the Thompson faction

Whether the election calls stand or
whether a delay is possible until a
new means of naming candidates is
provided, has not yet been decided by
the attorney general.

are declared vacant, and all conyeu-
Iioh proceedings and all acts done

amended. is enforced. and that all

at the pier for some man to marry
her and save her life from what she

Their experiences in Manila, prob

bands on their meager pay of s36 a
month have been unable to support a
family, house rent and food prices
having almost doubled here within

To prevent these Russian girls
from actual suffering, the Red Cross
and other charitable organizations
have provided them with shelter and
food.
They are willing to work. but hav-
