LINED BY DIRRCTOR OP NEW
LIDKnTY CHORUS
There are songs bow being sung by
communities tho world over. We
have always had with tho popular
songs ot the day and wo who have
counted ourselves among the elect
musically speaking, havo avoided
most of them as we would a pestl
lonce. Now that wo are bound by a com
mon cause, the popular iiong hY be
coming representative of a higher,
nobler emotion. , This does not
mean that we will sing and commend
all now music flung irpon the mar
ket, but those songs accepted by our
boys, cheering them as nothing else
can, and sung by communities every
where as well as by our greatest pro
fessional singers, wo should know
and be singing even tho we may. as
musician, think they da not come
up 10- ine siara mm muxicai cuuipv'

The words ot a sincere, natural
speaker with a real message to' de
liver, can stl ortur elthnok-tsuTm
liver, can stir our emotions as the
pollshod utteranco of the man
thinking of his languago and himself
never can. The first may be entire
ly Incorrect from a literary stand
point, but Its slnncerlty puts It over.
Of the popular songs of the past,
many have relegated to the scrap
heap, proving thero was nothing vi
tal enough In them to keep them
alive. Others we still sing, not for
their musical value but for the sen
timent underlying thorn and because
the great mass ot tho people love
and are moved by them.
Bongs ot this nature, old and new,
we must sing now if we are to do
our part In the great world war.
Other communities nro doing It. Lei
us not fall behind.
One of our greatest and most be
loved professional ilugers, Madame
Schumann-Helnk, now an honorary
colonel In the American army, going
from camp to camp, singing, wher
ever ordered by the government, and
giving herself without pay to the
war service, says:
"I do not try to glvo the boys high
brow music. I sing thorn the popular
songs the onos they all know and
can sing the chorus with me. I will
go to France' to sing for the boys but
if need be, .I'll nurse them or scrub
for them."
John McCormack, the great Irish
tenor, is also commissioned by the
United Btates government to ting for
America during the term, of the war.
Being intensely American and hotly

HOPKH OP. SECURING WATER
FOR THEIR LANDS
The land owners ot Upper Langell
Valley may have Irrigation, If plans
formulated at a meeting of the Inter
ested farmer held yesterday at Lor
ella, are successful. ,
For fourteen years tho progressive
people of this section have been exert
ing every effort to secure water for
their lands but every plan has so far
failed on account of the opposition of
a few or the large land bolder along
the river who were content with a
sort of Irrigation by the sprlpg over
flow.
About twenty thousand acres are
Included In the proposed district, ac
cording to A. E., Elder, who Is hand
ling the legal phase of the organisa
tion. This covers the old govern
ment project down as far as the Big
Springs nntt, now organised under
the Horsefly district. Water hi to he
secured from Clear Lake. The gov
ernment haa, fixed a, tentative charge
of f 10 en acre for the water, the Und
owners to construct system. It lis
stated that an estimate of this cost
ba's been placed from $S0 .to 135 an
acre, and probably can be built at a
much less figure.
The organisation will be effected
undor the state irrigation law which
permits a district to be formed on a
vote of a majority of the land owner
within the boundaries.
