The hiatory of mimic ntny he con
lidered under two periods an
cient and modem. In the music of
I the first period harmony and key
were unknown. The earliest re
cords of music are those of the an
cleut Kgyptians, duting from about
400 B. C. The Hebrewa and As
ayrianr, gave music its religious
aignificancc and the Greeks gave
the firat impetus to the study of
music.
The second period began with the
rise of Christianty when mu ic re
celved special attention. The Snr
acens, who had entered Westerr
Europe exerted a strong influence
over the music of this part of- th
world, as did tho minstrel, of th
Celta and Saxons over that part of
the more northern countries. Thes'
movements led inpreceplibly to tin
' k music of the present time.

A Timely Subject
Rev. Everett Mazen's topic for
last Sunday night's sermon was
"Fire." His words were calculat-,
ed to warn sinners and christains
alike. During his sermon the rever
end gentlemen remarked that rlab
wood but half dried out did not
warm up the building nor his hear
ers quite as much as desired before
he opened his rervice. At that the
topic was timely as a cold church
building L anything but conducive
to comort during a service.

An
Community Tree Set Up
and Shines Brightly
With Decorations
Evergreen Beautifully Decorated
and Will be Lighted by Colored
Electric Light
Maupin will have a community
Chri tmas tree and it will be an out
side affair. Joe Kramer last week
tried to interest some of our busi
ness men in the enterprise but did
not meet witlv-the response he de
sired, therefore the matter wai
shelved. The idea, However, stjll
lingered in Joes think-tank and on
Monday he took it upon himself to
see that Maupin little ones had a
real Christmas tree. He procured
a large fir, planted it next the curb
on the vacant lot between Wilson's
and StovalL, decorated it with tin
sel, crepe paper, various scintillat
ing Christmas gewgaws, and has
strung the limbs with electric wiring
to which are attached a large
colored lights. The lighting effect
will be in charge of J. H. Woodcock
of the Maupin Power company.
The Christmas tree committee
have is ued postal cards inviting all
to gather at the tree Monday even
ing next A short program of song
will be rendered, after which each
little one will be given a sack of
candy and nuts. All from the
neighboring communities are ex
pected to be on hand. The tree will
be left until after Christmas, being
lighted each evening. It makes r
most inviting appearance and is a
credit to tho e having its erection
and trimming in hand.
FARM ACCOUNT RECORD
DEVISED BY DALLES MAN
Work of Year Results in Book
Wherein Record of All Deals
May Be Kept
J. R. Johnson of The Dalles after
years of study and practice, has at
last devised a system for keeping
farm records that will be a boon to
all ranchers wh0 desire to keep a
record of their transactions from
year to year. The Farm Account
Record is a book of 114 leaves, di
vided into six sections, which in
clude sales record sheets, purchase
record sheet?, plowing, planting,
seeding and harvest record sheets,
inventory and present worth record
sheets, breeding and insurance
record sheets, labor and ' income
record sheets. In explaining , the
work to Tho Times man, Mr. John
son said:
The intention of the originator of
this book is to have as complete a
record and as simple as it is pos i
ble to make it, and at the same time
to make it easy to understand and
keep. Any farmer who desires an
actual and correct record of all
transactions for the year will find
this system valuable.
If all transactions are properly
and correctly entered under the
different headings, the farmer will
be able at the end of each year to
figure out his gain or loss and show
hi.-, present worth. He should have
no difficulty in making out his own
income statement.
The advantage claimed for this
book is that it will give the farmer
a universal accounting system that
is complete in itself in each individ
ual book. If the farmer does not
desire t0 keep tin:, book himself, a
bookkeeper centrally located can do
this work for several farmers by
leaving the different books at one
place, each farmer bringing in the
different items to be put in his in
dividual book.
Ranchers and stockgrowers who
are interested in keeping ruch re
cords are invided- to call at The
Times office, inspect the book and
they, if they so desire, may leave
their order for a copy with us. The
book sells for $5.85. It is of the
Publishes only that news fit
to print. Caters to no particular
class, but works for all.

HAVOC ON INDIAN
Three Death Occurred on Reserva
tion DUeate Show No Abate
ment, Say Rev. Dr. Matthew
Rev. W. A. Matthew3 and wife
came to Maupin Tuesday, it being;
the reverend gentleman's first trip
here in some time. He has but late
ly recovered from a 10-days' siege
of influenza, and prior to being hit
himself had been busy ministering
to the ailments of his red charges.
Three deaths have occurred from
the flu on the reservation, among;
them being old blind Beachkin, aged
78. Though blind the old Indian
was guilded by a spiritual vision
which permitted him to ride over
the reservaton hills to which ever
place he desired to visit It wm
surpri ing to see him come in on his
pony, after a ride 0f 10 or 20 miles
but he had a blind faith in heavenly
guidance which prompted his many
Journeys.
The present epidemic hit many
Indians on the reservation. Their
poorly ventilated homes and poorer
nursing made an increase of at
tacks very ea y. Rev. Matthews
has given every attention to the
Indans of his station. He has been
unremitting in his efforts to amelio
rate the suffering of the Indians
and as a re ult was himself taken
with the ailment, suffering for a
period of 10 days and emerging with
his spirit undaunted and prompting
him to continue in his God-directed
labors.
WE ARE SOME HANDICAPPED
Sicknea and Dearth of New Got
to Make Poor Paper
Since the 17th day of September
our daughter has been confined to
her bed with a throat affection. At
the present time ihe is showing
signs of recovery. During her ill
ness our wife had a fight with the
flu, our little grandson cut 10 teeth
with attendant complications, our
.on played nurse, linotype operator,
pressman and general print shop
''devil," and for 10 days did not
have a chance to even change hia
clothes.
This week the news that usually
ia easy to get, teems to have gone
home for Christmas and as a re
sult our readers will have to take
the paper as it looks. The Times
old mn does not feel any too good,
so will pass the paper's deficiencies
on to our readers.
Business Increases
Notwithv tanding the apparent
slump in business the R. E. Wilson
Co., one of Maupin's substantial
business hou es, reports an increase
in their November business, over
that of the corresponding month of
last year, of better than $1,200.
Wil on & Co. expect to show a still
greater proportionate increase for
the year.
Installing Fur ante
Joe Kramer proposes to keep old
King Winter out of his new home.
This week Joe is installing a Peer
lesr. furance in his basement and
hereafter will heat his residence
with hot air not the kind that is
peddled but the kind that makes
things comfortable.
loose leaf plan, with permament
binder, and theets may be inserted
at any time. Additional sheets may
be obtained at a nominal price.
The work is one that should prove
of great advantage to the rancher,
as it enables him to strike a bal
ance at any time he chooses, and
shows exctly where he rtands in any
department of his ranch business
