WARREN MUSICIANS
APPLAUDED AT FAIR
BAND RECEIVES FINE coMPLI-
MENrs AND IS ASSIGNED TO
CONCERT PROGRAMS

The Warren City Band is demon
strating at the state fair that musical
organizations outside the big cities
hereafter will demand much atten-
tion. Warren visitors who have re-
turned from the fair, state that the
local boys are establishing a good re-
putation for themselves, at the same
time advertising their home city in
the best possible manner
Reports from Hamline are to the ef-
feet that the Warren musicians ex-
eel in concert work. The fact that
they are on the program for concert
music three times a day bespeaks
their popularity with the fair manage
ment. That is a fine compliment to
the boys, as we'll as to the residents
of Warren. 1t is seldom band from
outside the cities is trusted with con-
cert renditions, and as music of that
sort is the most difficult, it proves
that the Warren City Band does not
have to stay in the rear in musical
circles.
Ralph Taralseth, who was a visitor
at the fair, said without hesitation
that the Warren boys are more than
making good. They are applauded
literally, and the director, George G.
Johnson, receives many compliments
for his good work. 1t is a rare thing
to find business man with such mu-
sical ability, and the fact that he
must direct the band during spare
time only, at the same time getting
such excellent results, is further proof
of his good Interpretation of music as
well as his love for his home city.
While every little city in the North
west has had it's band, very few at this
time may refer to musical organiza-
ton. Good music has been had at
times, and with great effort musicians
may get together in time for Fourth
Of July or other holidays, but then
disband and forget all about it.
1t is different in Warren Here the
band has practiced faithfully every
week of the year. That it's work is
appreciated has been testified to by
the many invitations received from
outside places. The Warren boys
furnished the music at the Pennington
county fair at Thief River Falls.
Warren residents are proud of their
band They realize that the boys are
the best boosters the home city has.
Every time the band is called away to
furnish music, it means an added hon
or, not only to that musical organiza-
ton, but to the city Of Warren, as
we'll. Wherever it furnishes muse
there will be questions about Warren.
