The voice in the horn went on:

FOR PLATOU

DR.. L. S. Platou, former mayor
Of this city, is a candidate for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket,
and from reports from the country
precints in this county, he is going
to get a nice vote in Barnes coun-
ty. In Green township nearly one
hundred farmers have signed up as
democrats in order to give DR..
Piatou boost, which shows d
mighty fine spirit on their part.
The same thing has been done
around Kathryn and other points.
If we are to have a democratic
governor this paper is strong for
DR.. Platou. We belive him to be
the best man now running on the
democratic ticket and We hope
Barnes county will give him a
rousing democratic vote. If l.. S.
Platou should by chance be elect
ed governor of North DakOta-he
would be governor-and he would
dc the very best in him to give the
state good administration = and
he would do it. Give the former
mayor your vote If you are voting
the democratic ticket.-Valley City

A CHAIR OF JAZZ

The great Guggenheimers have
ever been the supporters of typic-
ally American institutions and it is
therefore not surprising to find one
of them advancing the cause of
American music.
Mrs. Charles S. Guggenheimer
chairman of the Philharmonic Or
chestra association of New York
city, is urging the establishment in
the American academy at Rome of
CHAIR of jazz"
This seems at first a sufficiently
startling proposal, but Mrs. Gug-
genheimer justifieS the suggestion
well. She finds in jazz not the
turbulent, typmanum torturing
discord which was first labeled
jazz, but the refinement of synco-
patton which has inherited the
name-the first truly American art
expression. It's universal appeal,
she insists, proves THAT it is worthy
of study and development And
since it is one of the great Guggen-
heimers who speaks, one feels that
she must be right.

anent use of svncopation.
Tho American adaptation of the
same musical principle has cor
tainly its allurements and the very
real contribution which the better
opponents of jazz have made to
music in the matter of orchestra
ton tend to Justify it further
The argument that the virtue Of
jazz will be degraded by self-con-
scious experimentation does not
apply, for the reason that Jazz has
been from the first a sophisticated
exposition.
Those who especially admire
jazz even repudiate the negro mel
ody as the ancestor of the present
form.
Whether jazz will be a perma
nent contributor to music no one
can safely predict, but certainly il

tlaordinary phenomenon. 1t is not
impossible that out of it will come
something which will truly record

gaining weight and reducing were
popular topics for small talk in

How to take on little weight was
matter that attracted as much diff

Certain fundamental foods for
weight gaining are now generally
accepted and agreed upon by per-
