The selections by the band range
from the more sublime of the classics
to catchy encores full of vim and mer'
riment.
It is in the evening when the spec
tacular program will be rendered. For
the most part it will be made up OF
selections from standard opera sung
by company of vocal stars who have
established themselves in this difficult
field. The company appears in opera
costume and with special stage prop
critics and will be accompanied by
the orchestral band. The effects in
the artificial light will be gorgeous.

girls who present programs of rare
excellence and beauty.

to be procured and is made up of am.
bilious and talented young men who
know the very last touch of platform

strong favorites.

lily of musicians. The parents and
four children have spent years in
painstaking preparation and render a

Tax Commission Meets In July.

Professor Brindley, of Ames, will
probably be the first secretary of the
state tax commission. Professor
Brindley is a tax expert. He has writ
ten a book on taxation in Iowa. 1t
is the desire of the new commission
to have tax expert for secretary,
because it is believed that in COM
piling the statistics and in making
the investigations such an expert will
be great help to the commission.
The mmssion is to recommend to
the next legislature new system
