THE EXTRA BAND
It's a Little Late But We Want to
Thank the Boys for their Kind
ness in Rendering Assistance

Although rather late, our obi
CATION to the band boys for lend
ing their kind assistance to make
the Emslie Male Quartette a sue
cess, ia still as important as just
after it happened. It's certainly a
credit to any town to support
band and to the organization that
constitutes the band; no one out
side of those connected Herewith
knows of the discouragements they
come in contact with as time goes
on.
I While thinking over this matter,
the question recurs to US; here in
Extra do we. as citizens who appre-
ciate the services of our band and
enjoy their sweet music latter they
get it in a presentable form) do as
much FOR THEM as we had OUGHT
to do? Would it not be proper to
get up dinner, supper, con-
cert, or organize some method by
which to raise purse to pay off
the rent due IF ANY or to purchase
new music which is always well
come in band room; the fuel and
oil all cost something every time
they meet. Now who will make
the first suggestion as to how to
help the boys in their noble work.
