MONDAY, Nov. Z.
The band boys dance was not so
grand time as might have been hoped
for. 1t was our earnest desire - see the
boys make a success of these series of
dances, as heretofore all the expenses of
the organization have been paid out of
their own pockets without any assistance
from Others The band is an institution
that Americas can lily afford to lose,
and the people should do something in
some way to help the boys along, The
band has always. been ready and willing
to assist in all the festivals and other
home entertainments, unrewarded for
their services, but when they come TO
get up a dance or festival, their untir-
ing efforts are left 10 go unrecompensed.
