Plans for the early carrying tor
ward of the Boy Scout movement in
Terrell county are now being tormu-
lated by County Chairman Warren

certain conditions which were brought
to the attention of the executive board

rally which had been mapped out for
this county. 1t is believed that the
original plans can now be carried out

within the next two weeks.

SACRED CANTATA WAS
SUPERBLY PRESENTED
AUDIENCE OVERFLOWS THE
CHURCH TO HEAR WONDER
Full EASTER PROGRAM.

The tragedy OF Calvary and the tri-
umph of the resurrection were strik-
ingly presented in a sacred cantata,
The Crucifixion and the Ascension"
at the Methodist church Sunday eve
ming, which for superb effect and pro-
portion has never been approached by
any musical program rendered in
Dawson. The ensemble numbers show
ed depth OF harmony and pleasing
melody that comes only as the result
of splendid training, and great credit
is due Mrs. w. F. Sherman, organist
and director of the cantata in which
forty of Dawson's best musicians had
a part.
In addition to the chorus singing
there were solos, duets and quartets
brilliantly rendered, the audience man
festing the greatest appreciation and
enthusiasm of the high class music
by perfect silence throughout the per-
Torrance.
Before the hour for the beginning
OF the service the church was over
flowing, the different congregations
uniting and many from out OF town
helping to swell the crowd. Chairs
were placed in all the available space
in the primary room and the vestibules
but with all this addition a number
were unable to find seats.
Voices blending in the notes of
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Al
mighty" heralded the professional, the
musicians coming in from the annex
and taking their places in the chancel
and the choir loft Rev. S. F. Lowe,
of the Baptist church, gave the invo-
cation, the choir and congregation
joining in the hymn, when | Survey
the Wondrous Cross" The story Of
the crucihxion and the resurrection
was given in the scripture lesson, inn
preSsively read by Rev Reese Crit
fin. As beautiful setting for the Won
derful program the church decorations
were entirely in green and white Eas-
| ter lilies and. smilaX carrying out the
! beautiful effect Above the organ lott
was suspended an illuminated cross.
Just below in large letters wrought i'll
white roses were the words Christ
Is Risen"
The manner in which the local must
clans acquitted themselves has called
forth the highest praise from every one
! but special mention should be made
OF the bass solo, AT the Sepulcher, "
| by Mr. Henry Jennings.
A happy incident preceding the pro-
gram was the presentation of a beau
tiful bar pin to Mrs. Sherman by the
members OF the cantata as an express
sion of appreciation of her untiring
efforts in directing this rare musical
program 1t is hoped that music
study class may be organized and
that Dawson may have many more
such entertainments.

MANY SIGNS OF SPRING
AS Mercury Climbs There Are Mum.

Signs of spring are manifest, earlier
than usual this year. The grass on
the lawns of the city is deeper and
denser than usual at this time of year;
the white clover is already in bloom,
the English sparrows have begun
housekeeping and the number OF we'd
dings and engagements has apprecia-

stopped going below fifty in the morn
ing. =.
An early Easter was among &he list
of things which came this spring soon
er than in recent years. 1t is one OF
the rare seasons when Easter came
in March, and the weather which has
been experienced does not make it
appear to have arrived prematurely
Temperatures of IS to 90 degrees
have been recorded on several days
SO far this year, and in some homes
the trusty electric fan has already
been occasionally requisitioned. Daw-
son, however, has yet two months to
anticipate almost ideal weather.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup OF
boiling water upon it, pour through a.
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving @
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

WHERE YOU GOT THAT AWFUL DREAM

Do you ever give any thought, Mr. and Mrs Reader, to your sub-conscious mind! In other words, the other things your brain IS working on without vour conscious knowledge, while It is at the same time working on those things you know of that you are fully alive to.
 The scientists have developed a whole shelf full of books on this subject during the last ten or fifteen years, mostly as result ot close observation of picked human individuals, great numbers of them. And these observations in all cases have been card-indcxcd as you would card-indcx d hundred thousand books in pub lie library. The result is that great deal oI interesting information has been obtained on sub-consciousncs~, much of it valuable to the medical man in his task of healing sick man kind.
 There are few of Us who have not experienced "nighl tcrrors' sometime between babyhood and od age Night tcwors and nightmares are the action of the subconscious mind, and one of the writers, d Dr.. Bowers, informs us that they date back thousands and thousands of years through our ancestors to the days of the ''nying lizard" and other giant horrors that devastated early humanity.
 Then there is the "gravity falI," as the scientists call it-thc dream we all have had of falling great distances. If is heritage of the age when our far distant forcfathers lived in tree-tops to escape the dreadful animals that prcyed upon them. They were always in dan ger of falling, and always in terror of it, and their danger has descended to us in the sub conscious mind and only comes forth in dreams.
 But when you slip into the pantry and devour the wife $ Hast piece of lemon pie, you can't blame that on the sub-consciOus mind!

PROFIT BY THE EXAMPLE

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement which says that the real reason for the sale of Alaska to the United States by Russia was the fact that government by the Russian American Company failed to result Ill the colonization and settlement of the territory. The Russian government believed that 1t would be impossiblee to hold Alaska forever as a colony unless it were occupied and utilicd by Russian citizens, and the failure of that induced the sale of the territory.
 Whether or not this is the true reason for the sale, there was precedent as a foundation for fear that Russia would be unable to hold the land unless it were settled. For a long time there was controversy between the Unit ed States and Great Britain as to the owner ship of the Oregon country. Both countries claimed it by right of discovery and other things that were more or less theoretical. It finally won by the United States by it's settlement by American citizens.
 It might be worth while for the United States, whose restrictive policies have prevent ed the development and settlement of the terri tory, to profit by these precedents While there is no danger that any other country will ever acquire the territory, the facts of history show that the only way to make a country useful and to hold the loyalty of those who live in it is to permit its settlement and develop ment This cannot be done except through all lowing settlers to have extremely liberal oppor- tunities to secure great prizes for their effort and the chance they take in pioneering in a new country.
