 MAKE GOOD IN DECADE
An Increase of l.100 senior Clubs and More Than .D0 Junior
 Clubs Recorded

i Peoria, H., April iS.-CIropth ill the interest and influence of music in the American home during the last ten years is shown in the results Of q
 questionnaire sent out by the Ma
 tional Federation of Music clubs, made public by Mrs. Helen Harrison
 Mills, chairman Of the department Of
 publicity.
 An increase of about 1,1oo senior clubs and more than 760 junior clubs:
 an expenditure Of s2.447.1.9 in schol- arships, prizes and contests: the in troduction of nearly a score Of new
 lines Of endeavor and the sponsoring of twice as many American artists as there were foreign on the concert platforms, are among the features Of the report.
 The replies disclose there has been also an increase of s6SS.154 in re- ceipts from concerts. probably ac- counted for in an increase 1.5.00 people in concert audiences" con- tinues the report. out Of more than e,0oo clubs. four own their own club house, 150 have permanent club | looiuot H. bA II tHElF QNH piano anu 221 have club library Of music This latter field is one in which we have just started work. and in the next few years expect to have the ma iority of our clubs in their own homes.
 "As the music club is the legiti- mate and logical buying field for con cert artists, if is interesting to add that they have spent s2.s40, ,no0 in the ten seasons.
 1.-The entirely new lines of endeavor being promoted include church music and Sunday school contests. music memory contests, music settlement schools. music in industries and More than l5o newspa- pers in different parts of the country have added regular music sections. and 700 daily papers carry news Of music and federation activities"

Sensible Seal Settles
 Very Troublesome Problem

Coblenz, April IS. - A perfectly neutral seal on peaceful cruise up the Rhine in search of food stirred up a lot of trouble recently for French soldiers of the army of occupation on the one side, and a band of German fishermen who tried to catch the big fellow in their nets.
 The seal was sighted first by the soldiers near the left bank of the Rhine. and they made preparations 10 trap it. Meanwhile the fishermen took a hand in the chase and tried to drive the mammal to the other side of the river where there were no troops. The Germans felt that if they took the prize just off the left Rhine bank it might be confiscated by the French and the pelt applied to repara- tions. While the soldiers threatened the fishermen and the Germans gar- ed back at the French. the seal itself solved the question of whose property it's would be. if caught. by wiggling the nets and going on it's way.
 Old residents near the Lorelei say they have no recollections of a seal ever coming up the Rhine as far as the famous rock.

 Producer to Consumer

Dublin, April is.--The Free State government has decided to introduce at sn early date legislation on the cost of living, There is universal com plaint of proflteering by retail traders and it is admitted that farmers and fishermen gel only q trifling percent age of the prices at which their pro- dnce is sold to customers.
 II is argued that. nevertheless. the traders are not found to be making large profits, and t1e explanation is given that the reason is the multipliei. tg Of small traders in Irish cities whore there are hardly any big stores.
 It is suggested that the government may consider as part Of its scheme the poasinbilits or establishing direct con- tact between producer and consumer through the post o'iice, and enable farmers to sell goods direct to con sumers by parcels post on the cash on delivery system.

Throughout the winter the Boxer carried 19 students, Eskimo lads who had distinguished themselves in the seventh and eight grades of the government schools near their hones.
 Eight of the students came from the country between Point Barrow and Wainwright Inlet. the farthest north Of all United States land. and the rest from the Panhandle or south eastern Alaska. The young Eskimos were taught navigation. gas engineer ing and radio telegraphy. They all proved good students. reported c. W. liawkesworth, Superintendent for the bureau.

MORGAN'S ANTIOCH WORK

system Whereby Practical and Thcor- ctical Work is Combined New In-
 no,ation in Educational Circles,

Yellow Springs. Ohio, April It, Successful as an engineer in charge of several of the largest flood control projects in the United States, Arthur l.. Morgan as president of Antioch col- legc, has introduced q pronounced in- noNation in college training with 1he result that educators all over the country are watching the outcome with keen interest.
 Antioch is one of the Older educa- tional institutions of the country, hay- ing been founded in 1853 by Horace Mann.
 As an engineer Mr. Morgan en- ployed more than 1.060 college gradu- atcs, and from experiences gained by contact with these men he formed the opinion that the programs Of both liberal and technical colleges give an incomplete training for modern life in the complex economic and social sys- tenn of today" Mir. Morgan is not a college graduate.
 Perhaps the most striking feature Of Mir Morgan's plan. in the public estimation, is the so-called coopera- tive idea. under which the student body ia divided into two groups for alternating periods of five weeks study and five weeks work. A stu- dent attends college for five weeks and then goes 10 work in some industry, business or professional office. Mean while, the students alternate comes back 10 college from the position the two have in common.
 This plan is carried ont regardless l Of the financial or social standing Of 1 the student Positions are provided i by department Of the school. and 1 he students arc consulted regarding |

 MT. Morgan asserts that a fund of information, combined with reasoning power and the habit Of diligent study, while they fill the requirements of academic excellence, do not prepare a young man or woman for effective living. Only by actual experience with the real world he or she is to enter on leaving college can they complete their preparation, he de- clares.

RIDER MYSTERY VANISHES.
Cniy Sordid Features Remain in Or
land-Dedham Affair.

Emmons p Gray, whom it was
feared had been murdered by his
brother-in-law, Howard w. White, at
their camp in Dedham, was located
last Thursday at Winthrop. The
case certainly looked suspicious as
Cray had apparently dropped out of
s.ght Thursday evening, while his
brother-in-law, White, with his own
sister, Gray's wife, posing as his
wife, had fed, presumably for Pasa-
dena, Cal.
1t transpires now that Gray, after
leaving the house of Herbert CHM at
North Orland Thursday evening,
walked to Bangor, arriving there at
> O'Clock in the morning and taking
the early morning train for Water
Vile. He expected to be joined there
later by his wife and White, but that
was no part of their plan With
him out of the way, and with all the
money from the sale Of the camp
outfit in their possession, they struck
for the West.
Gray has been the easily duped
victim of this vicious pair, and is the
poorer by about $1,000 because of
them, White had induced him to
mortgage his house in Bucksport to
buy horses and so into the wood cut
ting operation, then sold the horses
and camp outfit, pocketed the money,
and took his wife, Gray is the
richer by the last loss.
After waiting in vain at Water
vile for his wife and brother-in-law
to show up, Gray went on to Au-
susta, and there secured work ON a
farm in Winthrop, where he was To-
Gated through means of a picture
sent out to the papers by Sheriff
Wescott He was not arrested, but
voluntarily accompanied Sheriff Yves
colt home and told all he knew of
the whole affair,
White and his sister have not been
heard from, though the police of
Pasadena have been notified that that
city was their probable destination.
With the murder feature happily re-
moved, there remains the monstrous
crime with which this brother and
sister are charged in their relations.
For that, of course, they, may be
prosecuted in any state in Which they
are found living in that relationship,
1t is doubtful if the Hancock county
authorities viii make any special eff
fort to bring them back here. No eff
fort or expense was spared, however,
when it was feared there might be a
murder in the case

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.
Interesting Conference Held in ELS
worth Last Thursday.

An interesting Sunday school Of
ficers' and workers conference was
held last Thursday in the Congrega-
tional vestry in Ellsworth. General
Secretary Edward H. Brewster OF
Portland was present.
The forenoon session was devoted
to discussing the new county stand
ard. and ways and means of making
the Hancock Sunday school stand
ard one. Plans were made for re-
organizing the seven districts now
unorganized, holding conventions in
each. One of the requirements is a
large map of the county on which
each Sunday school can be located,
this map to be used at conventions.
There are at present in the county
about seventy-fve schools, with a
membership of about 1000.
Rev Woodbury. S. Stoweh of
Sedgwiek was elected to serve on the
board as uperintendent of the di-
vision of education. This is for the
purpose of promotion of proper
grading, study of graded lessons,
missionary and temperance instruc-
tions, daily vacation bible schools
and weekly religious education. The
latter is now being carried on very
effectively in Bar Harbor.
An association budget was ar
ranged by means of which the work
Of the association could be made
more effective. and the State appor-
tionment met. The Sunday schools
of the county are responding gener-
ously to the need and their CO.
operation is most heartily appreci-
ated by the State and county associ-
alton officers
The conference was graciously en-
tertained at Anderson's restaurant
at dinner by the women's circle of
the CONGREGATIONAL church.
