While with a touch OF pride I
like TO think OF my native country
as a leader in music and song. we
cannot claim that Wales is the only
country that has had the benefit OF
great influence from music. Every
country. every race. tribe and clan,
civilized and uncivilized, has its mu-
sic. As far back as any history
which we have of the oldest civiliza-
'tion we find musical instruments
which resemble greatly the modern
instruments OF today.
Indians Were Musical
THE North American Indian was
a very musical being He had a
song for every phase CT his life, for
every religious and social ceremony
He had a different rhythm or
melody for the hunt. for war, in
his games. his prayers and his
courtships. Strange TO say the Eski-
mo has put his music TO a more no
BILE purpose than even the modern

SMALL TOWN BANDS

at Marion, Secretary of
Labor Reveals.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-secy
Of Labor Davis. who played the
clarinet IN the town band in Sharon,
Pa. many years ago, is advocating
the creation OF a Federal bureau OF
instrumental and vocal music, the
drama. the theater and athletics
throughout the United States.
"To my mind" the labor secre-
tary said. there IS no greater inhu-
ence for community and social good
IN the American small town OF to-
day than the town band. Songs Of
the pleasantest reCOllectlOns OF my
life carry me back 10 the days when
I played the clarinet in the Sharon
band Prest Harding preserves as
one OF his proudest recollections
tho memory OF his association with
the Marion CO.. band in the days
when he was just beginning to de-
velop the character for accomplish
ment which bore him 20 the White
House"
Proposes Recreation Bureau.
1t is Sec'y Davis idea to have
the proposed bureau Of recreation
cooperative with the states and the
individual communities in develop
ing home and community music
"As 10 music I would adapt the
EistedfOdd idea Of Wales TO Ameri-
ca" he said THAT means the or
ganization nationally Of instrument
tai and vocal music. the theater and
all other recreations. This national
organization must begin in the indi-
vidual community. I believe that all
municipal ties should have recrea-
tional leaders. I would have every
form OF recreation, so that the
humblest citizen could really take
rart and enjoy It. I would have com
munity competitions, from which the
state competitions and finally to a
great national gathering"
Praises Power of Music.
The power OF music" Sec'y
Davis added. rs the most universal
OF arts and has been recognized from
the dawn or civilization. Down the
long centuries from the dim ages 10
today humanity has marched or
danced plodded or gamboled its way
Of progress under the inspiration Of
music. From the Psalms OF David 10
The syncopaion Of modern Jazz. mu-
sic has always been the one art that
entered intimately the lives OF most
Of the worlds peorles. Existence
without music is a drab, drear thing
for an individual or a people There
is no greater force for peace and
happiness than music"
Davis believes that America could
take no single step that would ad-
vance the nation along the road to
happiness further than the establish
ment OF a national means OF exercls-
ing the power Of music.
He said that America can be or
ganized unsteady because most
American wOrkmen receive a saving

TWO STORE BUILDINGS AND
STOCK OF DRY GOODS
ARE DESTROYED.

Two business buildings in Bowlus
village owned by P. G. Phillips and oc-
cupied by the Phillips general store
and the Golden Rule dry goods store,
were totally destroyed by fire early
Friday morning. The entire stock Of
goods in the Golden Rule was also
burned, the fire having gained such
Roadway when discovered that it was
impossible to save any part of the
stock. Practically all Of the Phillips
stock was saved. The fire started in
the Golden Rule and is. believed to
have been caused by defective electric
wiring.
Firemen and volunteers of the vii
lage did splendid work in saving the
nearby buildings, several which were
threatened on account of the wind and
intense heat. The s. F. Surma harness
shop and the Dobis & Winkler hard
ware store across the street suffered
damage from heat, smoke and water.
Mr.. Phillips, owner Of the buildings,
had the property we'll insured and his
loss will not be great but the Golden

but small part of it's value.
