Music has, since the beginning, been
one of the blessings of humanity. 1t
has always been refining influence
that has led the thoughts into gentler
channels and made the mind relax to
rest after day of business or social
strain
Although many people do not real
ize it. music Is one Of the prime neces
stiles of life. 1t is staple now. One
hundred years ago it might not have
been necessary to an existence in
Iowa. but it is today.
Today the Iowa home without q
Piano is an exception and not the rule
The Piano has become a necessity. II
is part of home life that the parent
owes the child.
To have Piano in the home is ar
obligation that the parents owe theil
own family. A knowledge of music
to more or less degree is now more
easily secured than ever before.
AS an educational and refining feat
ure, the Piano is unsurpassed

The big packers picnic has At last
been secured for Ottumwa and this
city will reap whatever benefits are
70 be had from the thousands who will
attend the picnic. A meeting was held
this afternoon at the library hall at
the packing house at which the COM
mittee in charge Of arrangements was
again addressed by the mayor, who
has been working for some time to Sc
cure the picnic for Ottumwa, and his
efforts have finally been successful in
inducing the Packing House Aid as
scciation to pass a resolution to hold
the picnic in this city on July 16 Ne
gotiaticns with Davenport, Muscatine,
Fairfield and Burlington and a large
number of other cities will now be
dropped and all energy bent toward
making the picnic here a grand sue
cess.
The event will begin in the morning
and will last all day, the picnic and
whatever attractions are arranged for,
to be held at the fair grounds. A pa
rade will be given down town in which
the merchants will be asked to join,
with the usual assortment of floats and
other features of this kind. Music
will be furnished by bands which will
be secured as soon as possible. The
mayor has undertaken to raise a purse
of $500 to assist in defraying the ex-
pense of the celebration. The picnic
will be widely advertised and is ex-
pected to draw large numbers Of PEG
pie from all sections of the surround
ing country.
"Ottumwa is to be congratulated on
securing this picnic for the home
CITY," said Mayor Phillips today, "as
it has always been the inclinatlon of
the members of the association to go
out of town on the annual outing.
Wherever it has been held it has been
the means of drawing thousands of
people into town outside Of the en-
ployes belonging to the association.
Ottumwa has been almost emptied
once year through the taking of this
picnic to some other city and this
year those people will remain at home
and bring thousands of others into
the CITY,"
