HAVE ORCHESTRA IN CHURCH
Picturesque Feature Of Place Of Wors
ship Noted by Traveller in Old
English Village.

A picturesque feature of the Sunday
service In many parts of the old world
Is the survival of the orchestra, writes
David Berry in the London Daily
News.
In many village chapels of Primitive
Methodist persuasion the old hymns
are still sung with a combination Of
vocal and instrumental vigor that
makes town singing seem anemic In
comparison.
~ recently visited q village chapel
of one story, nesting at the foot Of
one Of the DOWNS" he says. Its re-
moteness from the madding crowd'
may be judged from the fact that even
after the great war for freedom, IL
still observes an arbitrary old condi~
ton in it's lease requiring the morns
ing service to end before that in the
established church begins.
.The unusually large congregation
numbered some 30 souls. But the
volume Of sound when tho cornet, har-
monium and piccolo reached crescendO
pitch in leading the equally lusty sing
ing was out of all proportion to the
size, Of the edifice.
an competition with the two more
robust instruments, the piccolo could
scarcely be heard, but occasionally he
stole a note in front at the opening
of q verse. One could not blame the
player for an evident desire to be
heard somehow. Otherwise his efforts
would have been completely sub
merged by the swelling strains of the
harmonium. Still less could he have
stood a chance when the cornet, with
its powerful blast, triumphed over all
II left the building with conviction
that the little village chapel knows
how to make joyful noise but | still
entertain some misgivings as to the
life Of its roof"

Oulu, started out yesterday to "make
a cleaning of illicit stills in their
town, and before evening had pos
session of two stills, and variety
of moist foul smelling stuff that
seemed to have all kinds of "kick"
in them. One still was found at
the farm of John X. Maxi and the
other at Matt Ylimaki's place. At
the formers's place barrel of raisen
and rye mash was found in process
of fermentation, and bottle con-
tanning a small amount of the finish
ed products, while at Ylimaki's place
about gallon of newly made liquor
was found cooling in some water,
and the still there appeared to have
been in use but a few hours before
the arrival of the officers.
Maxi pleaded guilty whehn ar
raigned yesterday afternoon in this
city, and was held for trial to the
Circuit Court. He was unable to
furnish the bond of $4,000 required

THINGS MOVING AL
BIG POTATO FARM


The new mammoth potato farm
to be opened on the barrens fifteen
miles southwest of this city by a
company amply capitalized to carry
the project through, is not now con-
fined to plans on paper, for work has
already begun in a big way to carry
those plans to maturity Four tract
ors, each equipped with a two-gang
breaking pillow, are busy every day
rolling over the sod, and getting the
land ready 70 rthe sowing of fall
rye The company plans on getting
one section in rye this fall, and next
year this rye will be turned under and
the land seeded to clover. Next
season breaking and seeding will be
renewed until the entire tract of
nearly 1000 acres are thus brought
under cultivation and fitted for the
growing of potatoes.
The farm is located in the town of
Highland, just west of the Bayfield,
county line, and the tract is high and
level, and is practically free from
all tree growth and stumps, so that
work of breaking meets with prac-
tically no interruption. The
name of the farms will be
the Superior Farms, and the
owner is corporation capitalized

Another Letter to Crumpton


 pr. w. B. Crumpton, Montgomery, Ala:
 My bear. Doctor: Your letter, not dated, in reply to my letter of July S. Is received.
 I suppose it makes little difference hat we call the soft drink in ques- tion. "A rose by another name would smell as sweet" and l suppose an intoxicating drink would make a man drunk whether called by one name or another, and that non-in- toxicating drink would not make a man drunk. even though it were called near-beer.
 You state that to license such q beverage would be in violation of a pledge made by me and most Of the legislature in 1918. by which we sea cured the support of the Alabama Anti Saloon league and the prohi. bitionists of Alabama, that no Jaw would be passed that would change present prohibition laws.
 If by present prohibition laws you mean the laws at present existing, 1 would say that it would be very queer for person in 1918 to pledge himself not to change a law to be subsequently enacted. How could and any part of the legislature in 1918 pledge ourselves not to change law which was to be enacted a year or so later, in 1919? How could such pledge be intelligently made, the pledger not knowing the char
