CALDWELL TO
have GOOD Band

Never in the history of Caldwell has
there been such bright prospects for
the band as the present time. A con-
tract for one year has been entered in
to with A. P Snapp, of Red Cloud, Neb.
to take the leadership and also to
teach class of new beginners Mr..
Snapp comes with the very best of
recommendations. He was leader for
one of the best on the road. While
only having played with the Caldwell
band two nights, yet all the boys say
he is the best ever. Mr.. Snapp also
expressed himself as being very much
pleased with the musical talent he
found here. He stated that Nelson
Gordon was the best amateur bass
player he ever heard. He found some
objections with some of the members
whose instrument valves had a habit
of sticking at certain hard places in
the musical, but he thought that
would be soon overcome. Mr.. M. A.
Moore,s fine cornet performer, &C
companied Mr.. Snapp and will locate
here. When all arrangements are
complete the band will be composed of
% members. There are Is youngxmen
who are going to take lessons from
the leader, and it will only be a mat
ter of few months until Caldwell will
be the head center for band material

Dressina the Window.

D~elicatessen goods lend themselves
with greater facility to window dis
play than do groceries, as a rule. They
tempt the appetite. Compare the APP
petizing appearances of a bag of coffee
and ii bowl of salad. of a chest of tea
and a fine piece of smoked salmon. of
a car of tomatoes and a dish of
smoked sausages. of a pyramid Of
breakfast cereals in cartons and Il
bowl of small meat pies. and our
meaning becomes clear. The closer the
grocer ONE to the delicatessen Win
dow by the display of pickles and
preserves in glass. dried fruit in
dishes and smoked fish in baskets or
plates the closer he will come to the
solution of the problem Of how to
make his windows appeal to the appe-
tite. Crackers should be more often
e in grocery windows, and coffee
and tea in bulk should be less often
seen there. 1t does not pay to trust
too much to the public's Imagination.
as is done when a geometrical design
is worked out in tin cans or cardboard
cartons. Similarly a series of taper
ing pyramids of starch packages. even
though of the edible kind. is putting
strain upon the consumers imagina-
ton which his interest in the display
will not warrant unless Il specially
low price ticket is attached. There is
not that intimate appeal to the appe-
tite that is found in the appearance of
the food itself in a condition ready
for the table. Every man and woman
responds in some measure to the APP
peal to the appetite. for in every man
and woman there is, though not al
ways in the same degree. the capacity
of appreciation Of appetizing food. To
put it briefly, there is a gourmet hid
den in every consumer.-Merchants

EUROPEAN TOWN PLANNING.
There Is an Increasing Distribution
Of Parks and Fairgrounds.

There Is an Increasing Distribution
of Parks and Fairgrounds.
1t has taken SO much space to give
any idea of the scope of town plan
ming in Europe that very little can be
said about it's physical results. In the
newer quarters there is to been seen.
first, a reasonably good provision of
main thoroughfares we'll planned and
we'll equipped. The tendency appears
to be to plan these to fit more closely
to the topography and the traffic re-
qulrementS and less with a view to
producing any particular p~reconceivcd
type of architectural effect than for
merly. An instance of the better re-
gard for traffic requirements is the
avoidance, so far as possible, of con-
centrating several lines of traffic upon
a single point of intersection, as in the
IL points characteristic Of the ear
Her French plans and in the informal
Knots of streets often found in cities
OIL accidental growth.
Second. there is an increasingly lib
eral and equitable distribution OF small
parks and Fairgrounds as we'll as nu-
merous small intersecting squares and
minor enlargements of the streets so
arranged as not to interfere with the
tree movement of traffic. These are
replacing the familiar but highly i'm.
convenient and illogical circle or
square ST placed at the intersection OF
two OF more important venue as to
block them and require a sharp de-
tour. Washington is full of the latter,
n some of them are charming to
look upon, but the art of town plan
nlng has reached a point where it de-
mands in new plans a better adjust
ment Of the type of beauty to practi-
cal function.
L wish to point out that, although
we have an immense amount to learn
from Europe and especially from Ger
many in regard to town planning. it
would be very foolish for us to copy
blindly what has been done there.
Apart from the differences in climatic,
economic, social and political condi-
lions between European countries and
America, there is need for some eau
ton lest we copy the mistakes.
The Germans recognized fifteen
years ago that they had made mis-
takes in town planning. They have
made other mistakes since. They are
probably making mistakes now. but
they are watching the results, and
when they recognize a mistake they
try to correct it. Here in America we
seem to go on complacently perpetu-
ating our old mistakes long after we
have recognized them, preparing over
again in our suburbs without material
variation the same conditions that
have given rise to results we deplore
in the older parts of our towns.
How to change this helpless fatalism
in our attitude toward the more funda-
mental factors of town growth is what
we most need to learn.-F. L. Olmsted

foreign mat artists now in this u

hurting challenges right and left since
their arrival.
AS a starter Gotch has agreed to
take on Giovanni Raicevich, who came
from Italy, labeled champion of that
country, in an effort t. lake home with
him the worlds title.
All arrangements have been complet-
ed for the bout. and the contest will
take place before the Empire A. C. of
Chicago, Nov. o. The terms of the ar
ticles regarding monetary conditions
call for a cash division of 20 and 80
per cent Of the receipts.
The scheduled battle has awakened
interest in the wrestling game to a
small degree, as it has been some time
since the worlds champion has been
seen in actual competition. Interest is
made more manifest since R~aicevich is

to bring him up to tiptop shape.
