IS an exception. urged people to eat corn

modes in which the meal might be made
into appetizing dishes for the table. If
it did not. it missed it's opportunity to

butchers began to recoup by advancing

same kidney made mouths at what 1t
calls the meat trust the big FOUR as
the great packing companies are termed.
and charged the advance to their rapac-
ity, ending with the counsel to quit eating
beef. Both papers are always extremely
solicitous for the welfare of the poor
farmer. and it was the farmer who was
getting most of the benefit of these adj
vances in the price of his products.
But this year we are feeling in every
direction the effect of advancing prices IN

papers make pretense of hostility to these
combines. And still neither of them OIL

were prompt to give when the two staple
products of the farm were rising in price.
Why this partially? Why this indiffer-

But consumers of lumber, glass, iron
and steel have not waited for any paper

The audience which listened to the

times as numerous as that of Monday
and it's enthusiasm was boundless. This
great band knows no distinction III the
popularity which it excites; it's call is
heard by the cultured and the uncultured
alike. The visitors from the country sat
last evening fully as entranced as the
city folks. Tonight, tomorrow afternoon
and evening will offer the last oprortunt-
ties to hear the Banda Rosa in the

programme this evening will contain sew

repertoire, including the grand fantasies

Boccaccto,' Thomas inspiring overture
''Raymonde," the Lost Chord" for trum-

nificent sextette from Lucia" and some
popular marches by Sorrentino and 9TH

ter advantage perhaps in the Auditorium

its splendid climaxes thrilled the people
who listened last evening as they had
never been thrilled by music before.
