Music is the language of t h e emotions; its origin must have been from the beginning of time ual with the origin of man and the universe, for we read that it was by this means the angels in Heaven once celebrated the first great triumph of good over evil. Who can resist the spirit of music? no one in a normal condition for through this medium the great throbbing heart of hu manity can bn reached and touch ed. The influence of music in t h e home is far reaching and I doubt if, as parents and guardians o f the young, we fully sense the obligations we are under to these young people who are placed in our charge; if music was made a co-eq- that our more prominent featuie in home life greater harmony would prevail, for music is to be enjov- - ed and to give enjoyment, there fore discord and dissension can not exist where the uplifting and love binding influence of music is felt; then too, it would make our homes the most sacred place on earth and our boys and girls' would spend their happiest hours at home engaged in studying this divine art rather than seeking entertainment in less hallowed ' company. In discussing the influence of music in the home I am taking up the subject of good musiofor we have both kinds, the good and the bad; in the first instance its influ ence is exalting, in the other, degrading, hence we must be judic ious in the selection of the proper kind to introduce in our homes, for music is a language and expresses emotions that cannot be conveyed in any other way. Rousing, patriotic music played either by a brass or a martial band will send soldiers to battle feeling that they can give their ives treely and cheerfully for love of country. How does a spirited dance tune affect us when rendered by a first class or. chestra? why it sets every fiber of our being in attune with the music and we feel that we cannot refrain frem engaging in the dance: then again, on the other hand, when we hear a funeral hymn, tears fill our eyes, our hearts are drawn out in sympathy with the bereaved ones and we are led to reflect upon the serious things of life &upon matters pertaining to the future state. There is also another class of mu- sic, more especially songs, which appeals to the sensual side of our natures, this we should shun and be very careful that music of this character finds no place in our homes; we must be guarded in our selections and choose only that of an elevating nature for high clans music is a potent means to culture, such music os the great masters have given us, we possibly cannot attain to this degree of perfection at once, but let it be our ultimate aim; the lighter forms of music should have a place in our homes, but ihey should not predominate and one of as for the "reg-timeout musicians claims that it should be relegated to the kitchen stove to be purified by fire.

The funeral of Mrs. Ann Ingram, who passed away last Friday morning, was held in the TabernarJe, Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. "Grandma" Ingram, as she was called, was related to a great number of Nephi people and a large crowd was present at the services. David Cazier, President J. W. Paxman, and Bishop W. H.

A petition was received from the Levan farmers asking that another appropriation be made for the purchase of strychnine for use by the farmers in their warfare against the ground-do- g and gopher. The Board authorized County Clerk Vickers to purchase a second eighty ounces of the jKiison and put J. W. Pax- main in charge of the work. The of Mona also sent in a petition asking the county to construct a road from the state road through Mona to ihe Mona depot. This was referred to the County Road Commissioner with instructions calling for a report at the next meet ing of the Board. The sum of $425.23 was received from the Forest Reserve fund. This amount is by law to be divided equally between the county school fund and the county road fund. The matter of the building of the state road through Nephi City was then tatcen up a;id the City Council entered the meeting and joined in the discussion. The Commission informed the Council that there was slightly over $3, GOO. 00 left in the state road fund for use on the road through Nephi, and that by estimates made they thnuRht this sum insufficient for the building of a good road the full length of the city limits besides putting in the necessary culverts. They re quested that, as there was only so iiiuch money in the fund, the city pay for the culverts rather than have the state pay for them and on this account be unable to build the road all the way through the city. The Council staled that the city was very much crippled for the want of funds and took the stand that a somewhat less expensive road could be constructed and thereby extend it the full length of the city besides putting in the culverts. As there would be slightly above $2,000.00 per mile U be expended on the road, and since the culverts are estimated to cost but I GCO.OO, it seems that a good road could be built with this sum besides the expense of the culverts bang taken out of tax-paye- rs plete and a good, enjoyable time it. is assured.
