Tho people of Coos fIlay nnd espe cially of Mlirshflold Hhould appre ciate tho fact that In tho local band they hnvo on excellent musical organ ization nnd ono that Is n credit to thin city and section. Such nil or ganization cannot bo maintained without locnl Interest and support. When they give a freo concort Hko that of last Sunday tho opera houso should bo crowded. It was nn en tertaining iniiHlciil treat and tho peo ple should nt least by their presence, glvu evidence of their Interest nnd appreciation. Ilio Times hopes for the good nnmo of the community thnt this nppnront lack of Interest will never again bo In evidence. Tho writer recently had an Inter esting chat with an Intelligent for mer resident of, Denmark In which he dwoll nt length on Coot the possibilities 'of llaj'H dairying In this sec- Oppoi (unity, tlon. lie referred nt length to this branch of agriculture ns the great resource of Denmark. "The ..wholo of that country Is ono j;rent dairy farm," ho said. Although tho smallest country In Europe, Denmark is the most prosperous of any fn tho wholo of Europe. It Is surprising to learn thnt tho exports of a little country like Denmark last year wcro nearly $92,000,000. The Imports woro fnr below this figure, so the balance of trade In favor of tho little country was nn Immcnso sum. This has been so for year?, with the result that Denmark as n country, nnd her peo plo Indlvldunlly, aro tho richest In Europe In proportion to population. Practically nil of Denmark's exports aro dairy products, horses and cnt tie. Her butter, eggs nnd cheeso nre sold nil over Europe, n great part of It going to England. Ono of the surprising things about Danish farms Is their small size, the average for tho whole country being three nnd four tenths acres per farm, whllo n pint of ten ncrps Is considered big. Every inch of ground on theso little farms Is put to somo ueo, and noth ing Is wasted in Denmark. X W I T H T H E i i toastandtea: imntnntttttttnntnt GOOD EVEXIXG.

It has scarcely more thnn 4,250,000 today and each year 00,000 young men and women tnke ship In quest of homes under moro hopoful Hides, Thoro aro few countries with greater resources for comfort nnd happiness. The soil, under propor treatment, responds with rich In crease a rent markets aro nearby nnd In tho hills nre swift stromas, tho power of which goes to waste.

Grinding laws, nbsenteo landlordism nnd tho sjindow of strong military forces nuil nu netlvo constabulary hnvo mnde tho land notable mostly for producing desirable citizens for America and tho Uritish colonies. Tho true Irony of tho story, how ever, llos in the fields of the op pressors. Thoro tho same procoss thnt depopulated Ireland is driving tho people from tho soil, Tho rich need tho land for hunting nnd for parks. Tho small farmer and tho laborer must either emigrate or seek livelihood In tho crowded cities. The decay, so saddonlng to tho scenes In Ireland, hns set In in England. It Is now u German taunt.

Ho was annoyed over hnvlng to wait nnd set about making the women mad nt each other so that they wouldn't tnlk any more, ir! plnced tho receiver on his phono up against the transmitter, with the result thnt when either woman was talking, her words came right hack to hor own ears.
