The May Music Festival With more .than . 1300 persons, or about 6 per cent of our population, participating in the concerts of the May Music Festival, it requires little thought to conclude that a large percentage of our residents are interested in music and are willing, to give some of their time to its development. , The May Festival and the Symphony Orchestra are entirely self-supporting. Attendance at the individual orchestra concerts was nqt as large as had been hoped for, but the attendance at the concerts this week, it is believed, will offset it, so that the . season will close without a deficit. Incidentally, it is interesting to know that few symphony orchestras in the United States are self-supporting and are able to end a season without a deficit- Grand opera seldom is a paying investment. Chicago, for instance, is depending on 500 citizens to guarantee $1,000 each for the next-five years to assure the continued existence of the Chicago Grand Opera company. The Richmond orchestra makes no pretentious clainis, but it is gratifying to know that this organization of - players under competent leadership 'will be able to close the season without a deficit. It bespeaks the interest of citizens expressed in a substantial manner. The. extensive participation of the school children ' in the program, displaying both vocal and instrumental training, should be encouraged in future years.- -The real foundation of musical culture is based on the instruction which the children receive in the schools, supplemented by their training"-jn connection with musical festivals. - Richmond has been a leader in the popularization of music. Not only the schools, but also the music teachers and the music clubs have contributed to the encouragement of musical education.
lege from a boarding school to an institution of its present standing will be intensely interesting to citizens of Richmond who watched the growth of the school. The institution is one of the distinctive colleges of its classification, in America that has adapted itself to changes in educational methods and practices. A narrative of these changes, as they evolved gradually in the lapse of years, will be worth while reading. The college has had some noted men on its faculty, and in its list of graduates are many who have attained distinction in their callings. The college has encouraged the individual endowments of its students and guided them aright in the development of the qualities which have contributed to their success. The student spirit of Earlham always has been an excellent one, constructive and uplifting. One is almost tempted to say that the college has attracted only young men and women of .the finest traits of character, who have expressed
1 their rectitude and righteousness in a student
spirit which may be envied by other institutions. Not the least of the many characteristic things noticed in Earlham college is the fine type of its students. They are a credit to the college and a contributing factor to the continued success of the institution.
The History of Earlham College Friends' of Earlham college are glad to hear that a history of the institution will be written. The institution has been one of the foremost small colleges of the Middle West, with a recognized reputation for its scholarship and the ability of its graduates. Many phases of the development of the col-
The City Manager System One of the best features of the city manager system is the emphasis it places on merit and ability. The city manager is not chosen because he has political power, but because he has managerial ability. His political affiliation is the negligible factor, his business acumen and ability the real reason for his selection. The executive ability of a mayor chosen under the federal system is an accidental discovery after he has assumed office. The administrative and executive qualities of a city manager, known before his appointment, are the recommendations that govern his employment. A mayor holds office because he has the political strength to win at the polls. A city manager holds office because he is trained for the position. A city manager is notrgoverned by political expediency in making political appointments and shaping his policy. The baneful effect of the political factor in a city administration under the present system is seen in the affairs of the municipal light plant. Repairs and replacements that should have beenmade many years ago were ignored in order that the earnings of the plant might be large and each administration could report a good showing. The city manager has no political ends to serve. He wants results for the sake of giving the taxpayers returns for their money. He sees that repairs and improvements in the municipal property are made when they are needed.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
SHARP EARS. The sad-eyed boarders leave their beds, and conie to eat the breakfast steak, and they have tired and shelfworn heads, for evil sounds kept them awake. . Says one, "That Jones dog bayed the moon, and robbed me of a ton of sleep, and if the pup is butchered soon you may depend I shall not weep." "A million Cats disturbed my rest." another mutters, while he chews, "and now I do not look my best, because I threw - at -them my shoes. " "The wind.: as howling sad refrains." remarks another mournful wight; "it fairly bent the window panes, and who could sleep on such a night?" "I just was dropping off to sleep." sighs one, indignant o'er his wrongs, "when some young men with voices cheap before " iho door sang dippy songs." My ears are badly on the blink, 1 do not hear the nii?ht wind blow; and when 1 hear such tales I think how I am blest that it is so. The cats may yowl, the dogs may bark, and thunder roll along the tkico, and through the long hours of the dark I sleep as though to win a prize. But all the boarders pester me with sympathy, day after day; it is a Bhame, they all agree, that I .can't , hear as well as they ! ' '

THE TRAIL TO HAPPINESS Talking about nature Do you know what it means to observe, to really see? It mearfs to use your eyes to note clearly, and your mind to comprehend thoroughly what most people come in contact with sometimes constantly and do not notice or absorb. It means looking through the outer shell or appearance of things, and learning to read something of their hidden meaning. It means to have sight and also insight, to look with one's physical eyes and also with the vision of the spirit. Most of us, so far as seeing and understanding nature is concerned, are like fishermen and sailors, who unless they are especially taught, do not know how to swim. We see so much, we observe and interpret and appreciate little or nothing. Which is only one of a number of good reasons why every man and every woman who is a nature lover (and we are every single one of us just that, though pye may not know it), who revels in a jaunt through the woods and is slave1 to the imperious call of the healing green, finds in Curwood s "God's Country" what he has all along felt, but somehow or other, perhaps, has failed to voice. Its pages radiate the great OUT OF DOORS; the murmurings of rippling waters fill the soft air with soothing song; the scent of growing things, fragrant with the perfumes of myriad flowers, stirs the heart unaccountably, satisfying many half-smothered longing and vaguely evolved conviction. And it may be that you will end by concluding with Curwood that God lives in the rose and in the tree, just as he lives in the heart of man; that it is God who breathes in the grass that makes the earth so comfortable to tread upon; He lives in the song of birds. It is something to think about when a man becomes bent or broken in body or soul. Instinctively he turns to nature to seek and he finds rest, recuperation, strength, peace and contentment. The open skies, the free airs, the fields, forests, meadows and waters thpse are God's greatest gifts to man; these are His eternal restorers, elixirs that are far more potent to cure ills, to soothe scars, to fill and allay aching voids than are the greatest formulas of all the physicians on earth. They are our priceless possessions and, as with so many of our other priceless possessions, we neglect them, do not see them in fact, and so, too frequently, fail to follow the tiail to happiness. And it is to this trail that it is Curwood's desire, his ambition and his great goal to lead us.

Teamster's Life Saved Writes Letter That Is Worth Reading Very Carefully. Peterson Ointment Co., Inc., Buffalo, N. Y.: I was afflicted with a very severe sore on my leg for years. I aui a teamster. I tried all medicines and salves, but without success. I tried doctors, but they failed to cure me. I couldn't sleep for many nights from pain. Doctors said I could not live for more than two years. Finally Peterton's Ointment was recommended to me and by its use the tore was entirely healed. Thankfully vours, William Haase, "West Park, Ohio, March 22, 1915, care P. G. ReiU. Box 199.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take IV "Up" KEEP UP2 i There is a popular phrase that says this is "a gTeat life if you don't weaken." There is humor in this statement, but it s negatve. I like a better statement of the thing something like this: It's a great life if you have faith and keep up! -To you who are out of a job, this may sound trite and cynical. But try to remember that every man in a job today had to learn it, many of them bitterly for a while. . It is not easy to keep up. It is easier to tell you to. But after you have thought it over, decide to keep up anyway. The longest lane has a turning, so we learned when school boys. The diamond is one of the hardest substances in the world. But it is of no value until it has been intricately cut and polished. There is no substance in nature or life equal to that within yourself. Poverty, discouragement, hunger, loneliness are a few of the tools that you must use to polish and make yourself valuable and useful. So keep up! Your wealth and worth is that which is within yon not on your back or in what you may possess. If you keep up and keep going on and on not only will your turn be reached, but your chance as w ell. Bear the brunt, my friend. Be willing to wait. There isuch. for you if you have something for somebody else. Keep your mind clean and your body as strong as you know how. Let not the Master of Success lose his jealous watch over you. Keep up. Walk the path. Distil your bitterness until its essence can mean no failure for you. Then shall you be able to climb the way in confidence and without fear. But remember, keep up NOW!

C. E. C. Is it not true that professional people working at home are allowed deductions for working quarters the same as if they occupied space in an. office building? Deductions may be made for the room or rooms in one's residence, provided they are used exclusively by him alone for no purposes except his business or profession. READER Please print a short sketch of Jean Webster. Jean Webster author or "Daddy Long Legs" and other popular stories, was born July 24. 1876. ai Fredonia. N. Y.. the daughter of Charles Luther and Annie Clemens tMoffett) Webster. She was a grand-niece or Mark Twain, and it is not surprising that her humorous writing has a little or that quaint touch which made her granduncle famous. In 1896 Miss Webster graduated from Lady Jane Grey school and in 1901 received the A.B. degree from Yassar. For the next few years she traveled in Italy, and in 1906-7 made a trip around the world. Jean Webster first gained popularity
as a writer of a college girl story. "When Patty Went to College." a humorous work published in 1903. "The Wheat Princess" and other books followed. "Daddy Long Legs," her most popular book, was published in 1912 and later was dramatized with some success. Her last book was "Dear Enemy." published in 1915. While working on the proofs of "Dear Enemy," Miss Webster was courted by Glenn Ford McKinney. a New York lawyer. "I am too busy," was her reply to his persistent proposals. Finally she consented to become his wife on his piomise that all

Girls if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy-- it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at. night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not aii. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Advertisement.
