WHERE PUBLIC SPIRIT
 REIGNs SUPREME.

Saving an industry for town has had q new meaning In Athol, | Mass, where a shoe factory which threatened to leave the place was through poular subscrlp- tions and is now the property ot citizens, The public drive for funds to acquire possession of. the plant wua constructed by Board of Trade and the factory will be operated by a committee of citizens,
 Such community ownership of factory is a distinct development Tn American industry, yet is not muni- cipal ownership. It Is no different than any other kind of ownership except that the stock of the plant is owned by a wider circle of citizens in a single community. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the Massa- chusetts town will have good luck in operating the plant, and it is prob able they will learn q great deal at first hand which they formerly were in no direct position to discover.
 It is not the first time that public snirit in Athol became so pro nounced, however A year ago, when the town faced loss of it's electric railway, the road was purchased hS the municipality and is being oper' atcd as a public utility by the town
 There seems to be a wealth o'
 public spirit in this Massachnse'''
 town which is worthy of emuIa'lor
 by others.

Hamlin informed the surprised superintendent that the egg with the 12 golden yolks, which he was holding, was a gift in appreciation of MT. Marsh's IF years as head of the Sunday school.
 yisibly affected by the surprise, Mr. Marsh simply thanked his friends and made no attempt to say any, thing further. Following the meeting the con- gregation adjourned to the church basement where a surprise program had been arranged in honor of the superintendent.
 In opening the meeting down. stairs which was an informal social event, Mir. Hamlin officiated as chairman. Rev. R. N, Gilman spoke on the value of MT.

He told of the formers will ingness to do all and more than he was asked and said his success wal due to three things. He is con structive-a constructive man being one who builds up.

MORE APPRECIATION FOR CHURCH MUSIC

The casual reader will have mo- ticed this ycar-as he has done every year at Easter - that the nrosentation' of elaborate musical programs in the churchca is a wide spread practice. The cultural and uplifting influence Of church music cannot be gainsaid, and their enormous contribution 10 musical art cannot be overestimated. MiIhons of people listen to church music .,erv veel,-and on Easter the num- her of listeners are vastly increased over any other Sunday of inc year. hut few know much about the music ranoraIlv performed, the history ot some of the most famous Easter an tbcms sung every year, and even lct+s about some of the most famous o' church music composers
 In other words, church music Ina" not been sold" to the public like some other classes of music, The nuh}ic rarely if ever gets an oppof- trnitv to read about it, A famous anthem by Barnby, sullivan or Sh''' 1v means nothing to them, aithouGf constant church-gocr3 might readily recognize the strains,
 Why this dinldence or indtIfer eneo by church authorities to ine"I cate appreciation of the vast a"' oritorious literature connec'e' with the organ and choirs? outsid of having q slight knowledge of sucI ors,ories as the @Messiah' an "rlitan" the vast general public hv no means coached 10 respond t what the church has to 'fl'f music.
 Church music is performed 0ro q, instrument of great power an resources As a medium for 'F nresentation of music upon a IaFs scale the pipe organ, when @d' ouato,v performed, satisfies the d' tates of art and love for eTosh' fort,seimo. AS a vehicle of aceon nan,ment for masses of-singers

$500 WORTH OF
REVENUE STAMPS
IN BIGTRANSFER
Interstate Power Co. Files
Largest Deal in History
of Grant County.

A deal involving $500 worth of rev.
enue stamps and co-ordinately involv-
ing $S00,00000 worth of property went
on record at the register of deeds Of
fee in the court house Saturday. The
register, Miss UT, received the huge
instrument Friday and had it all re-
corded and copy mailed back to the
lawyers at Madison Saturday noon.
The transfer in question was the in
terests of the Interstate Power Co. of
Wisconsin to the Interstate Power Co.
of Wisconsin, involving all the lines,
plant equipment, right-o per-
mits, ETC., of the Interstate Power Co.
to a combine of the same name. The
property is contained in Grant and
Crawford counties, this state. There
are 1872 miles of transmission line in
volved in the transfer.
H. C. Orion of Dubuque, Harvey
Orton," is president of the new COM
pany which has headquarters at AL
bert Lea, Mimi, and general offices in
Chicago. 1t is assumed that the prop
erty involved in the transfer is part
of a huge merger of power properties
worth millions which took place last
fall. This merger combines transmits
sion and distribution systems in Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota in
to a super-power program.
