SIGNS OF SPRING ARE SEEN
BY THE CLOSE OBSERVERS
SOME OF THE APPE.lRA NOES
NOTED HERE THIS WEEK.

II wasn't hard the first of this week
to detect signs OF Spring in the air.
For instance:
Il display window full of baseball
goods ut the City drug store.
Boys playing at "burn-out" with
ball and glove.
A robin red-breast singing his heart
out Ia . tree back of the Elite bakery
while Bright-eyes, the Walsh cat, sat
beneath with hungry expires o n
waiting for the singer to relax in wig
ilsnce.
The grass begins to show green, the
ground vines appear and W. r. Hood
runs q lawn mower over his Van
Dyke (?l whiskers, eifacing them
Morris Kobey gets out a baseball
uniform and looks it over to see what
if any damage the moths have wrought
and Henry Mertens closes his annual
summer contract for livery carry-all
to take him and his friends .'far from
the madding crowd when the weather
and the opportunity are propitious.
Sundry citizens are seen standing
upon the trolley bridge gazing with a
wistful expression at the waters OF the
Crystal below them where a flirting
tail or darting fin betokens trout.
o, yes, Spring has almost arrived.

Klatts. For five months prior to leas-

hearted Marble women came to her
aid and took care of her but she never
rot up again. The end came at 6:45
O'Clock Monday night. She was con-
scious until the very last. In fact,
during the afternoon she wanted to sit
up in chair but was persuaded not
To try it. A minute before she died

BAND STAND IN THE
PARK Is THE PLAN
JOINT COMMITTEE TOOK VOTE
ON THE LOCATION OF IT.
Now the Consent OF the Marble Co.
Is Necessary and Colonel Meek
has been Written-The Band
May Build a Dance Hall.

AS the first step toward ra Using
money to purchase set of uniforms,
the Marble band is to hold a big dance
on Saturday night, April l5. The
event will be held at Yeoman hall and
the tickets at W apiece will include II
big supper.
The band is determined to raise the
money necessary SO that the uniforms
can be ordered and delivered here in
time to wear them on July !.
The members of the band have been
looking over some samples of uniforms
and they have about agreed upon a
neat, nobby blue trimmed with black
braid and caps to match. This uni
form is one in much favor with bands
nowadays, the tendency being to get a
way from the loud llashy uniforms in
favor OF modest ones of strict mill
tary cut.
The movement to build band stand
for the use of the band in summer con-
certs is taking form. The committee
appointed by the Business Men asso-
ciation-Harry Thode, Phil Larkin
and J. +. Parrish-met with the band
committee composed of o. T.. Cham
bers. Jake Starr, /. NJ. Kobey and
Frank P. Frost the other night and the
last named was chosen chairman OF
the joint committee. After much dis
cussiOn it was left to vote to decide
the location OF the stand. Two menu
bers of the committee voted to place
the stand UPTOWN while four were Ia
| favor of placing it in the park among
the trees.- Theinhuenee which datss.
might construct dancing pavilion
adjoining the stand and hold out door
dances there durin the summer
months, thus deriving some revenue to
help in the expense of maintaining the
organization. At present the band
has no income, but hall rent, lights,
fuel and music cost money and the
members have to meet this expense be-
sides giving their time and services
for nothing.
j. F. Parrish wrote to Col. c. F.
Meek, president of the GYM. Co,
apprising the Colonel OF the decision
OF the committee and asking consent
to locate the stand in the park, which
is company property. No further
move will be made until word Is had
from Colonel Meek.

ing rooster-and he always is crow.
ing booster for the town of Marble.
The particular reason for growing
right now is that the Chambers pr O.
gressive spirit laid hold OF the Ch an-
bers mind when he found out that
Tischhauser & Starr were going out
of business and there quickly followed
the consumm alton of deal for the en-
tire store space vacated by the afore-
mentioned grocery firm. Mr.. Cham
bers will occupy it with "a modern
market-such as can be found in few
small towns. He intends to keep on
hand at all times large supply OF
fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs and
butter, and Thousand different kinds
OF prepared, cooked, smoked and tin
ned foods such as are to be found in
first-class delicatessen. ChOw-chow,
olives, pickles, cheese, and other rel
ishes will be leading Offering. The
meat department of the market will
also be enlarged and improved by the
addition of cold storage plant which
Mr.. Chambers plans to install at once
The expense of such plant will be a
large item but the House OF Chambers
believes in the future of Marble and
proposes to be in the front rank and
stay there.

NEXT TUESDAY THE
ELECTION DAY HERE
ONLY ONE TICKET IN FIELD
AND LITTLE INTEREST.
The Tlschhauser Ticket Certain OF
Success. According to Present
Outiook-Some Recoilections
Of Former Ele ection Times.
Next Tuesday is election day.

Next Tuesday Is election day.
There are five men to be elected to
office in Marble-a mayor for one
year, one trustee for one year and
three trustees for ;hrea years each.
The only ticket in the field is that of
the Peoples party, headed by Paul j.
Tischhauser the mayorally candidate.
To the best knowledge of this paper,
little interest is being manifested in
the outcome. The absence OF opposi-
tiou has taken the life and spirit out
OF it.
In other years Marble has witnessed
some hot battles for supremacy at the
polls and there have been many stories
told this week of the warning factions
Of former years. condition which
now, hsppily, seems dying out.
Factlons 10 a small town never did
and never viii. do the town any good.
A ss1e rule to work by is that in effect
Ia . gro wing, prosperous Missouri
town, known to this writer, where they
have , slogan reading:
II yox don't like The ,cay The majority
rutes in this to,ca, wl,y get out; the acalk-

II might not be a bad idea to adopt
thui slogan for Marble.
The Judges of the election will be A.
s. Thompson, Z. r. Randle and Mau-
rice D. KObey. These men sat as u
bosrd 0f registration last Tuesday in
the Luxen store building and carefully y
compiled list Of the qualified voters

Far be it from this paper to tell any
tales out of school, but, whisper:
There's going to be several weddings
in this town before very long. Now,
don't ask The Booster man who they
are. 1t wouldn't be fair to tell. Be-
sides, it's a secret--one OF those deep,
dark, subtle, crafty secrets that prac-
tically everybody in the town knows
all about. SO, what's the use of
telling. 1t is the mating season of the

grown with striking rapidity, especially
in the southern Part OF the republic. The

president general, Mr.. Macfarland said:
LAS q member Of the advisory conf
mittee Of the Continental Hall, and as
your counsel in the recent delicate and
difficult negotiations with the builders,
say that learned better than ever before
the business acumen. the executive abil-
ity and the sense of honor and justice OF
your society as typifed in the president
general, Mrs. Scott.
The settlement which we effected,
as just and as honorable to all con-
cerned, could not have been reached il
your president general had not pos
sessed those qualities. On the con-
trary, the matter might have dragged
its slow length along through the
courts, and even to the Supreme Court
Of the United States, at the cost OF
years Of time and thousands OF dol
lars in money. against the interests Of
all concerned.
Mr. Macfarland then read the address
of Mr.. Marble. which was, in part, as
follows:
Il bring you the hearty greetings Of the
National Society OF the sons ms S or tine
to the larger sister-and yet there is
withal a spirit Of humility on my part
in extending these greetings as recog-
niZe the fact that the Organizdtlon WHICH
l represent has only fifteen thousand
members. while yours has a membership
of eighty thousand and upward. with no
apparent future limit to the upward
and am more convinced than ever that
when there is any work. either OF a
philanthropic or a patriotic nature. to be
done in order to make it a complete sue
cess the organization must be manned by
women. When l consider your superb
ority in numbers I am led to the con-
clusion that a large portion OF the men
of this country have their patriotism,
like their real esate. in their Wives
names
I'VE are all descendants of a patriotic
ancestry. an ancestry that was ready to
do and die to gain that liberty which we
enjoy.
