as to the outcome of the crops.
Should Providence withhold it's

despair. And the farmer must
raise sufficient produce to keep a

fore the margin allotted him will
suffice to keep his finances in

Although a band is really pub

reasons why it is hard to build
up good band organization. It

make substantial progress in
musical ability, and it must have
careful, conservative, attentive
business management. These
things are not easy, out the ac-
