A Pine Mountaineer who plays the
fiddle gives his philosophy Of music
in the "Pine Mountain Settlement
Notes"
II take E1y fiddle when things
are botherin' me, maybe the financial
matters of the world, an I sit down
an play me a tune, and, don't you
know, feel better. Or when the ag-
glavations gathers round about me or
I get mad, / can set down an play,
an pretty soon the aggravations is
plumb driv' away"
Which is good philosophy and en-
forces the lesson that hobby on the
side is good thing for everybody
to drive away "the aggravations.'
NJ. G. Crandall was much interest
ed in an item in a previous issue of
this paper concerning the blowing up
of ledge of rock near Laverne, Min
nesota, once supposed to be the
haunts' of the James brothers and
other bold robbers. After Mr. Gran
dalls father and family Left Bara-
boo about 1879 they located at La
verne for a short time While there
Mr.. Crandall and other relatives held
picnics at the ledge of rocks and the
topic of conversation often was the
daring deeds of the highwaymen.
Just north of the county in which
this ledge is located the pipestone
rocks outcrop, favorite place for
Indians to obtain pipe material.
The net result of the conference
for disarmament in Washington will
be the beginning of an association
of nations. At first it will contain only
the nine nations interested in Pacific
problems. But within year another
conference will be called, an "econ-
Omic conference" wherein America
will make the same dramatic propos-
al about cancelling war debts that
was made for scrapping ships. That
proposal will be made to Europe, not
Asia And in return for scrapping
debts, Europe will undertake to scrap
land ornaments, and the United
States having exacted promise from
Europe, will be in Europe to see that
the promise is kept. We shall then
get into another association of nations
including Russia and Germany. The
two associations will merge. There
will be a league of nations under an
other name, or it may be another
league under the same name. The fast
and furious talk in the last campaign
about the isolation of the United
States and the wickedness of inter
was meant for the con-
sumption of the credulous. There
was not real league issue in the last
1T was mere fireworks
