NEEDS A BAND.
1t is Good Thing to Encourage
and Help Promote

If there is one thing more than an
other Wadsworth needs It is a good
brass band.
This subject has been brought be-
fore the public and discussed a num-
Der of times during the past year, but
nothing definite has ever come Of It.
Employees coming here from other
towns along the road almost always
ask if there is band here and are very
much surprised when answered in the
negative. for this place is consider
ably larger than most Of the places
along the line that can boast Of a fairly
good musical organization Of some de-
scrlption.
All we need here is a good leader
and everything else will be smooth sail
ing. The young men Of our fair town
would do the rest.
The writer has in mind good band

least once a week and instruct the
boys, or members. let US say.

man, woman and child could 60. Il

and as for funds there ought to be
a good starter from the last Fourth OF
July surplus. Everybody who con-
tributed to this is willing that it be
made use of In this manner. These
funds belong to the people for they
were given by the people, so why not
let the people have a voice in de-
Gliding what disposition is to be made
ofthe money.
Atany rate lei this question be set
