Nearly $500 in Cash
and Cash Premiums

1t will be astounding to many to
know that the magnificent sum of
$247 is the sum total of the premi-
UNI list offered by Gleason mer-
chants to be awarded at the Glea-
son community fair Oct. IA and Is.
This is, indeed, a most liberal and
generous premium list, But it is
just the way our Gleason friends
have of doing things. They never
stop short of going their whole
length and in arranging premium
list for the second annual commu-
nifty fair they have been unusually
generous. ...
Premiums are offered for all
kinds of farm products, as shown in
the page announcement in the En-
terprise last week. No premium is
offered except on articles and farm
products of genuine merit. The idea
is to encourage thrift.
The two days promise to be the
biggest in the annals of Gleason
and community and farmers and
exhibitors should try to make their
exhibits in keep ng with the liberal
premium list, which means they
ought to be attractive.

Small Crowd Here
On Last Monday

Contrary to the expectations OF
many, a small crowd came to town
last Monday, due, doubtless, to the
heavy rain that fell during Sunday
night and the consequent bad
roads. So little has been done to
the roads over the county this year
that they are in deplorable condi-
ton.
Usually the first Monday inOcto-

still others just socially. Then, be-

Common Sense
BY J. J. MUNDY.
The Helping Hand.

You wish to do something thor
oughly worth while-why not try TO
be a; big brother TO an orphan boy:
Lack sof proper restraint and no
home ties of affection have been the
cause, in nine cases out Of 10, why
boys go wrong.
If boy looks up to you and loves
you with the respect he feels, he will
want to please you.
1t may be some job to win the
boys affection, but. do not he dis
couraged because. it is difficult and
doubtful.
In after years when some boy
whom you have assisted to arise out
of the depths to which he has drifted
becomes a man of good character
and useful in any line that is respect
able. you will feel well repaid N your
work for humanity.
The saving of even one boys char
actcr and reputation is worth the
trouble OF working with dozen
without apparent result.
Besides, it is not a mans job to
measure the good he may have done
if the result seems doubtful.
How much. worse it might have
been, is the way you ought to feel
if your good. offices seem to fall on
unproductive soil.

WHY
Arc Some Plays Called "Melo.
dramas?

Nowadays. il theatrical producer
were to advertise "melodrama'
and then produce what is commonly
known as an opcrctta or play in
which the spoken lines alternate with
songs, it is probable that the public
would enter a strong protest, claim
ing that the producer was guilty OF
misrepresentation. But that the
managers announcement would be
correct may be secn from all exami-
nation of the tcrm--a compound Of
the Greek words melos, a song, and
drama, play or action.
The early melodramas were, there
fore. plays in which music was in
troduced, either as all additional en-
tertainment or as a means OF further
explaining the progress of The pro-
duction. When the Italian school
produced operas" the world "melo-
drama" was gradually pushed into
the background-to be revived at a
later date in connection with plays
of tense, exciting nature. In these
it was customary to use all orches-
tration filled with music OF sugges-
lively creepy variety. certain strains
being indicative of the entrance OF
the villain, others of the hero, the
heroine, the love passages, the
struggle and the like. In the mod
ern school of theatrical production
these artificial aids have, to a great
extent, been discarded, but the name
"melodrama" continues to be used,
as evidence of the fact that music
was once there. :.
