Worthinston People Will Leave
Nothing Undone to Give
the Visitors Good
Time.

Lie udte lOT CQe ANNUAL plcI'lc VI
the Southwestern Minnesota Picnic
Association has been set for Wednes-
day, June Oath.
The several committees are hard at
work, and nothing will be left undone
that will add to the enjoyment of
the occasion. The finance committee
is meeting with liberal response,
which insures ample funds for all
needs, and the entertainment CON-
mittee is hard at work securing speak
ers, music and other entertainment
features.
The annual Woodman picnics have
become one of the most important
social features of the early summer
season, and are attended by large
crowds of tie best people everywhere.
The growth of Woodcraft, since the
founding of the order % years ago,
is one of the manruls of the century.
Nearly million members, composed
of the best manhood of the nation, are
enrolled under it's banners, and the
growth continues without abatement,
despite the determined and persistent
opposition of the enemies of fraternal
insurance. The Woodman and kin
dred orders in providing for the
widows and orphans are doing grand
work that challenges the admiration
of the whole world. These orders en-
able the man of small means to pro
vide protection for those dependent
upon him at nominal cost, while the
rates of the old line companies are
practically prohibitive, but more than
this, they foster 3 fraternal spirit
among men that is of equal value.
The annual picnics have become
an important factor in fostering the
growth of Woodcraft, they are one of
the best means of attracting attention
to the order and disseminating infor-
nation in regard to its noble work.
The picnic at Worthington already
promises to become record breaker,
as the people of the district recognize
that this is an ideal location for an
outing OF this kind, and all are anx-
ious to come and spend a day here.
The railroad connections are better
than those of any point in the district
and the location is central, and more
equally accessible from all parts than
any other point that could be named
Our beautiful lake with it's extensive
improvement for pleasure seekers is
in itself an attraction that will draw
we'll, but while the natural resources
are counted upon to attract the
| Woodmen, the entertainment commit.
tee is going ahead as though these did
not exist. and will provide program
that in itself will be worth while tc
come from the most remote corner o1
the district to see. The people o1
Worthington never do things by half
and they are not going to slight the
visitors at the Woodman picnic.

A SPLENDID ATTRACTION
lnnes Band Will Be One of the
Features at the Coming
Chautauqua.

head of his famous Orchestral Band,
in the coming Chautauqua Assembly
on Thursday, July 9th, is a unique
personality. He began his musical
career at the bottom. He is now at
the top. He reached his present po-
sition by his own efforts and by his
possession of two qualities that are
necessary to success in any profession
whether it be that of a lawyer, doc
tor, painter, or musician, namely,
tireless industry and confidence in
self. Innes has an unlimited capacity
for hard work.
During his playing season, which
usually runs from about April to De-
cember, his ordinary working day
consists of from sixteen to eighteen
hours. But it is during the prepara-
tory weeks Immediately prior to the
opening of his season that the untir-
ing energy of this man is best shown.
At this period the calls upon his
time necessitated by daily rehearsals
of his band, the makeup of pro-
grams, the two hours given over to
musical composition, and the super
vision of his large business depart
ment, all combine to making such a
days work as would tax the energies
of ten able-bodied men.
This is only one side of the many
sided Innes. The musical side is
most intimately seen at his rehear-
sails. When one sees him there, one
would not recognize the. Innes of
thirty minutes before. At rehearsal
he is the musical pure and simple.
There he puts aside all thought of
business and gives himself over en-
tirely to his music. Innes conducts
invariably without music score and
as Listz Symphonic Poem follows
an intricate Rhapsody or overture,
stands amazed at the wonderful tech
nical knowledge displayed. But it is
in his authoritive readings of the
great musical classics, one sees his
mate genius and musical training at
their best.
In his Interpretation of music one
sees imaginative and creative power.
and feels here in the real man in his
natural sphere. It is easy to see that
he believes in himself and is great
enough to defy precedent. It is in
this daring to set his own stand
ards in the musical pictures he Gre
ates, that the tremendous force of
his individually is unerringly shown.
Innes has been signally honored
by the appointment as Director-in-
Chief Of Music at the Worlds Fair to
be given at Seattle, WASH, through
out the six months beginning June 1,
1909.
His plans for his work are in thor
ough keeping with his reputation for
doing big things. Among other mus
ical ideas, he is arranging fer great
gathering Of 5000 singers, 200 bands
and similar auxiliary features, with a
vieT to reproducing, for the enter
tainment Of visitors at the Fair, the
sensational climaxes which made the
famous Boston Peace Jubilee the talk
|of the world.

Views of Fire Expert on Cleveland
Disaster.

PITTSBURG, March 5--A- L. Mckenzie,
former fire captain Of Cleveland, who
for sixteen years taught Ohio school chill
dren fire drills. now a resident OF this city.
says the Cleveland disaster is likely to &C.
cur In any city unless the present method
of training pupils to escape from fires il
changed Although Mr.. Mckenzie retired
from the Cleveland fire department five
years ago. he is considered one of Amer
tca's authorities on means Of escape IN
time of fire, being the author Of books on
the subject. Mr.. Mckenzie said today:
THE children of the North Collinwood
school, according to what I hear. lacked
the proper training. 1t used to be that
the captain of a fire district visited the
Cleveland schools once week. and this
was during recess. He would teach them
how to climb down scaling ladders and
ropes. At one time in that city this meth
cd was reduced to a science among the
children.
The method utilized in Pittsburg In
drilling the school children for fires is
very poor. in my opinion. The idea or
drilling the children up and down hall.
through one door and out of another Is
absurd When a fire breaks out the chill
dren forget that they were ever given
such training and Immediately become
panic-stricken. At recess the children
should be taught how to scale ladders and
ropes"

came in sight Of each other were travel
ing at a pretty lively clip.
The motorman on the car from Wash
ington brought his car to a stop first,
and his conductor grabbed a red light
from the car and slenaled the south
