or two instances the names of
those performing were not even
mentioned-thus centering the
attention and appreciation on the
music and not the performer. AS
is customary at the Young
Peoples meetings there was no
applauding-a practice which
often becomes mere habit and in
many cases reverts to whistling,
stamping of feet and the like-a
sort of animal-like demonstration
of appreciation.
The audience Sunday evening
also heard some three part sing

direction of Mrs. A. Henriksen.
This is something recently gotten
up and they did well, also adding
considerable strength to the
songs in which all took part.

EXPLANATION WITH
MUSIC is HELPFUL
Large Audience Enjoys
Sunday Program at
Assembly Hall.
BY L. F. Van Zelm
. Weaern Newspapet Union

The musical entertainment
given under auspices of the
Young Peoples Society at the as
sembly hall Sunday evening ap-
peared to be well received by the
large audience which filed the
building 10 a point where a num-
Der were standing.
The orchestra of five members
opened the program by playing
three selections after which
there was singing and instru-
mental numbers. The program
outside of the introduction by
the orchestra was divided into
two parts the first of which was
all music written by Swedish
composers and the last half con-
sisted of songs and hymns writ
ten by the Danish composer, H.
Rung, one of Denmark's foremost
composers who died in the 70s.
During the first half the aud
fence not only had the pleasure
of listening to music by Swedish
composers but also heard two
songs rendered in the Swedish
language which fitted in well.
They were sung by Gust Sober
quist, who lives about eight miles
east of Sandstone, he being the
only one outside of this commun-
ity that appeared on the pro-
gram.
A feature of the program was
the explanations given by DR.. P.
N. Fenger who was in charge of
the evenings entertainment.
This was a great help in afford
ing better opportunity 10 under
stand and appreciate the music.
Amongst other things the Doctor
said that composers can be re-
cognized through their music just
as one will note that poets and
writers like Longfellow, Mark
Twain. Dickens, Harold Bell
Wright and others have their
own individual methods of ex-
preston. The Doctor also spoke
briefly on the life and labors of
II. Rung. his trait being the
beauty expressed in music. In
making the various announce
ments it was noticeable that
there was no lauding or praising
of performers-and in all but one

HUNDRED PHONES
NOW IN OPERATION

II will be recalled that actual
construction of the Askov tele-
phone system was commenced
the first week in October, 1923,
and about six weeks later the
first phones were in operation.
and now, A months since COM
mencing, they have over 100
phones working.
The local company has made a
remarkable record for speed as
well as put up a first class ex-
change.
The system is of course not
complete, as many more lines are
yet to be strung; they will do
well to finish by September of
this year. Besides stringing
more wires, all those that are
strung must be frightened up and
tied onto insulators.

number of new subscribers have

The general impression seems to
be that the Dawes plan provides for
readjustment of the amount of
reparations due from Germany to
the allies with provisions for loans
from the United States to help pay
these obligations, or something
along that general line, dealing
largely with PREPARATIONS and with
evacuation of the Ruhr by France
