l.. c. BAND TO COAST.
Definitely Decided To Make Another
Concert Tour To Pacific Coast
Next Summer. Popular Con-
cePtS This Winter.

For some little time past the
Luther College Concert Band has
been considering the matter of MAX
ing another concert tour to the Pa
cific coast Eext summer, and at a
recent meeting it was definitely de
cided that the trip would be made
at the close of the school year.
1t will be remembered that cou-
pie of years ago this organization
made a trip through the northwest
and to the coast, which was a con-
slant ovation, great advertisement
for Luther College and DEBORAH, and
a source of pleasure and delight for
every place visited The college
boys were royalty received and en-
tertained, and the delightful con-
certs they gave were a surprise and
an inspiration. 1t was not thought
possible that Prof. Sperati could de-
velop such efficiency from college
men in so short time. The organ
ization ranked we'll with the great
bands of the country, and since that
time the whole northwest has been
anxious to hear them. Accordingly
they have decided to go out again
next summer, and we have no doubt
that they will score another great
success for L. c.
In order to raise funds to COM
plete the equipment of the band, to
give them added practice in con-
cert work, and to entertain the peo-
pie of the city as well, a series of
popular concerts have been arrang-
ed for, extending through the win
ter. These concerts will be held
every two weeks, the first one
week from tonight, next Wednes-
day. The admission will be only ten
cents, and the auditorium ought {,
be packed on each occasion, for
these concerts will be real musical
treats.

Good Way To Settle Saloon Question

Ashton, Iowa, is a town OF less
than 1000 population and under the
mulct law but one saloon can do
business there Three men asked
for the privilege of selling liquor
and the council decided to let the
privilege by competitive bids, which
resulted in the right being sold to
Fred Thies for SOL. There were
three bidders, Jake Keul Offering
$1,700. VIM. Runte $3.50, but
Thies distanced them and will pay
practically $16.70 a day for his
exclusive right. This is believed to
be the highest price ever paid in

It is the first time that the right has
been settled by auction methods.

A Merited Rebuke.

At the age of sc, Nine. Reyn-
olds still found much zest in life. and
having retained all her faculties, she
felt that a few of the physical disabil-
tiles of her age were of small account
and portended nothing. Her nephew
Thomas was a man of much worth, but
of a certain tactlessness of speech
which always reused the ire of his aunt
A few weeks before the old ladys
eighty-seventh birthday Thomas, who
had been overweighted with business
cares for years. started on trip round
the world which was to consume two
years.
I've come to say goOdby," he an
nounced when he appeared at mis- aunts
house in a town fifty miles distant from
his home. I'm starting round the
world next week, and as I'm TO be gone
two years and perhaps longer thought
l might not ever-well, you understand,
l wanted to be sure to see you once
more"
The old lady leaned forward, fixing
him with her beadlike eyes.

you mean to tell me the doctor doesn't
think you'll live to get back?"-Youth's

concerning his daughters troubles with
magazine editors. This seemed like the
preface to a familiar stOry-the young
woman had literary ability which the
editors persistently refused to recog-
nize. What was to be done?
But the story was not along that fa-
miliar line.
My daughter Myra," said DR.. Kelly
when his companion asked how he
could help, lis teaching in downtown
east side school All of us at home
have been entertained by her stories
of her pupils. and urged her to write
some Of them. She was timid about it
because of the tales of often rejected
manuscripts by unknown writer's and
did not say that she would make the
trial

magazine editors. This morning she
came to me in dismay with three let

as diplomatic agent, saw the three edi-
tors, settled the matter of first choice
by lot and gave the bewildercd young

That was the unusual manner of en-
trance into the field of story writing
