MUSIC THAT is IMMORTAL
MendeIssohn Needs No Other Memorial
Than He Left in His Wonder
full Wedding March.

Possibly the most famous march ever
written is the wedding march from the
Midsummer Nights Dream" by Felix
Nendelssohn. Like the overture to his
famous work IL is a splendid example
of MendelssOhn'S astonishing musical
fertility. The overture is now one
hundred years old and is one of the
greatest examples of precocity in any
art. Although written by a youth of
eighteen, 1t Is one of the great classics
of the tone art. The march was not
written until later, but its glorious
burst of eXuberant harmony would
make it an all-fascinating musical
number even though it were not asso-
ciated with the joyous occasion of mar
riage festivals. Mendelssohns musical
mind retained these numbers in won
derful fashion. Once when the score
of his famous overture was left in a
cab In London and lost, he blithely re-
piled, "Never mind, shall make an
other" After he had completed this
immense work it was compared with
the instrumental parts and found to
be accurate to the last dot, even
though Mendelssohn had made 1t from
memory. Why did not Mendelssohn
write other famous marches? He wrote
others, but none quite so good as the
wedding march. His March of the
High Priests" from "Athalie" is built
upon the same formal lines and is an
altogether beautiful work in classical
march form.

flying to business interests and the
people in general on the peninsula,
where immense quantities of "sweets"
are stored. Within the past week
hundreds of carloads of kiln-dried
sweet potatoes have been taken from
the storage houses and shipped to
market. Prices on the outgoing pota-
toes ranged from 65 cents to 80 cents
a hamper f. o. b. Seaford. Up until
about ten days ago none of these po-
tatoes were being shipped because of
poor market. The prices had remain
ed so low that those who had potatoes
on hand were in quandry as to what
course to pursue. Many of the pota-
toes were fed to stock, being consid-
cred worthless. The low level reach
ed this fall was Is cents a hamper.

CAR SHORTAGE
LIMITS STOCK
LOADING TODAY
Milwaukee Grants Lower Rate
on Wheat for Foreign
Trade.

Stock shipments today are limited on
both the Great Northern and Mil
waukee railroads because Of a ear
shortage. This is the first time this
fall that the equipment on the Mil
waukee has reached owe materially
into the field of stock cars in addi-
tion to the grain carriers.
Loading from Assinniboine, Box
Elder and Big Sandy, 65 cars leave
over the Great Northern for Chicago
today. These are all cattle shipments.
On the Milwaukee, six cars of cattle
and six of sheep are loading and an
other half dozen cars of sheep are en-
training at Coffee Creek. Both roads
state that shipments would be much
heavier were the cars available.
New Grain Cars. Arriving
Grain carriers are more lacking than
stock, and there is no promise of re-
lief which can be more than temporary.
Twenty-Five new grain cars, routed
out of Chicago on the Milwaukee,
reached Harlowton Monday afternoon.
These are part of the purchase of
1000 new grain cars which were an
nounced here by officials of the road
as intended for the North Montana
division.
1t is probable that the new export
rate on wheat, which is effective
October 9 on the Milwaukee, will re-
suit in a considerable volume of ship
ments west from Montana. Although
such a rate has been in effect in
other parts of the country quite gen
orally. this is the first time that an
export rate on Montana wheat de-
signed for foreign shipment has ever
been made.
Must Prove Destination
TIL new rate lowers the shipping cost
of wheat for export from Seattle or
Tacoma from the domestic rate of 80
cents to 80 cents, a saving of seven
cents a hundred. The rate is from
Lavina, Mont, and points west, in
Guiding Great Falls. 1t will be neces-
sary for shippers to prove that either
the actual wheat or the flour which
is made from it is exported before the
rate is granted by the Milwaukee
road.
1t is expected that this rate will
result in west bound cars from Mon
tana carrying wheat, which ordinarily
some from the Pacific slope with
lumber and make the return trip as
empties, since most of the traffic
from the coast is ~eastbound.

LUNCH
BRINGS VIEWS
ON CHEST PLAN
Some Opposition Voiced to Pro-
posal by Members
of Club.

The community chest idea so far as
presented was approved by the Kiwanis
club at its luncheon meeting Monday
at the Y. NJ. @. A, but it was also
referred back to the Round Table for
further consideration.
The Kiwanis meeting was held at
the ~" building as Il part of the
Know Your Town" plans of the club.
The question of The community chest
brought out a wide range of discussion
of the project by club members and
several widely varied ideas rs to the
scope of the plan were presented.
Some opposition to the community
chest idea was voiced and n motion
was presented, but did not come to a
vote. that the consensus of the club
be that the Red Cross should return
to its pre-war basis and that charity
work be left to the Salvation Army
and county. A motion was passed that
the Kiwanis club continue. in the alb
sence of any definite community chest
idea, with its plans for the Salvation
Army drive, previously set for early
in November.
$4,000 Probable Goal
The Round Table plan for a COM
munity chest was presented by f. E.
Beatty. He said that the plan called
for participation by five organizations,
Cross, Boy Scouts and Salvation
Army He said that $4,000 had been
mentioned as the probable goal of the
chest fund.
Ralph Wolfe. Y. M. c. A. secre-
tary, held that sufficient time in
preparation of the plan had been
taken and that this should be a work
Of six months. Fred Perra. a repre-
sentative at the Round Table, said that
the Red Cross expenses as presented
ran in the neighborhood of $4,000
and that he did not think that the
community chest should shoulder such
an expense.
Jack Abrams, speaking as a mem
Der of the Kiwanis Salvation Army
committee, said that considerable
duplication of work had been found
and held that the Red Cross is doing
much work that is not a necessary
part of it's functions. He said that it
was a war organization that was not
needed in the same degree in peace
time.
DR.. c. j.. Bresee said that the Red
Cross was admittedly spending be-
tween 80 and 40 per cent for over
head and perhaps more went in that
direction.
MIL TO Be Host
Lowell Watkins of the Royal Milling
company. a member of the club, pre-
scented the invitation of the milling
company for the club to be its guest
next Monday noon.
DR.. Bresee presided at the Y. NJ.
c. A. part of the program following
the luncheon. He introduced Herbert
A. Templeton, vice president of the
"Y" board of directors, who spoke on
the place of the Y. NJ. c. A. in the
community and in building citizen
ship.
Leon B. Clark, physical director,
made a plea for more exercise on the
part of business men. He spoke of
this as health insurance"

ans were taken to the gymnasium,
where they were given a series OF
exercises as a part of the usual gym
classes. The handball courts, the
swimming pool and other advantages
of the club were opened to the

With q salary budget of 1921 due
October 8, it was announced Monday
night at a meeting of the school board
of district No. 1 that means must be
provided for the cashing of teachers
warrants on that date. No definite
decision was reached, but it was decid-
ed that the board should see whether
it will be possible for the county treas
urer to carry the warrants until the
tax collecting season opens.
In an unofficial discussion it was
stated that unless the financial condi-
ton of the schools is improved next
year, teachers warrants probably will
be discounted during the 1923-1924
term. Because of the shortage of
school money it is probable that the
Great Falls board of trustees will use
its influence to have introduced at the
next session of the state legislature
q bill providing for interest from school
moneys reverting back to the school
fund.
Coal Bids Received
Coal bids and bids for the hauling
of ashes were opened at the meeting.
Because investigation of the kind of
coal that will be furnished made it
necessary to defer action in granting
the contracts, the successful bidder
will probably be announced today. APP
proximately 1900 tons of coal will be
used this year. This amount was re-
CURED last year and was furnished at
$3.50.

Monday by S. +. Evans against Bob

he turned over to the Midland Ma
tional bank.
The wheat was seized under a claim
by the bank that the property and
crop belonged to Everett Evans, debt
or to the bank, it was said in the COM
plant. S. e. Evans claims that he
leased the land from Everett Evans
in November, 1921, for a three-year
term and says that the wheat, threshed
from the property this year, belongs
to him. He delivered an affidavit to
the sheriff September IL, stating his
claim of ownership of the wheat, but
says that the Midland bank gave the
sheriff a bond to indemnify him against
loss and the wheat has not been re-
stored to his ownership.
He demands judgment from the de-
PENDANTS for $3,70S, the estimated
values of the wheat.

said:
Il have been actively engaged
in politics for more than thirty
years. With the exception of less
than seven years, my work has
been done as a private citizen, and
[ prefer to continue to serve the
public without the care of office.
"If the democrats of Florida
felt that as a senator | could rem
der a service to the state and to
the party in the nation sufficient
to justify them in calling upon me
to represent them at Washington
[ would consider the matter from
the standpoint of duty and in
connection with other claims up
on me, but have no thought OF
entering into a contest for the
office.
II am loking forward to con-
genial association here with Flor
ida democrats who have been my
co-laborers for a quarter Of CEN
tury. l am sure that our rela-
tions will be pleasant so long as
my plans do not conflict with the
ambitions of others or with thelr
personal preferences"
