With proper care a iiagpole ought TO
last 81 great many years in SPITE of the
incessant exposure 10 the elements. OF
course the best preservatiye OF wood is
paint. and 4 man who has Il flagstaff
which has cost him good sum of
money should see that ii is painted at

generally rot at the lotion first, and
then have to be taken down TO prevent
them from falling OF their cvcn weight.

The next concert to he given un.
der the auspices OF the Rock Island

musical event of the season, and we

strument has many masters, but
this man is welded to his. He fon-
dies and caresses it rs bridegroom

he plays upon its tuneful strings,
and in quick response to his loving
touch. it yields up the wealth of its
lyric treasures. that his love NAV be
requited. and his heart and soul be
thrilled with ecstatic harmonies.
Mr.. Blumenberg is the only Ameri-
can cello player travelling. He has

countrymen consider second only to

She comes from the New ROYAL thea

from what they say, they never had
so much fun. After inspecting the
building. and passing opinions as
only boys can. they were showed
into the gymnasium ut about 8
O'Clock. and there the boys had more
fun than q box of monkeys. The
first numbers on the program Were
potato races between several of the
bows. The first was between TAYLOR
Newton and Harry Hengstier, the
former coming out winner. The
next was between Robert Lee and
Forest Don. Don winning it, and the
third between Harry Mitchell and
Orville Yerbury. Mitchell winning.
The 20-minute drill by the Boys
brigade, which came next, was a
| SPLENDID exhibition, and reflected
