MUSIC IN DEBORAH.
A Plea For Public Support For the
Development of an Orchestra
For DEBORAH.

Editor Public Opinion:
1t would require too much space
to give in detail my experience in
band and orchestra work in Duluth.
where l succeeded T. P. Brooke. 1
didn't go into band work but we
always carried the band, at a sacri-
flee to the professional musicians
We kept UP the standard, however.
and the boys met their final reward
when the 3rd Regt VI. n. G.. adopt
ed them and relieved them OF every
item of expense. l recall one occa-
sion before this happened, when the
band members worked hard for four
days for the glory of Duluth, sleep
ing at night on boards. They earned
just enough to pay for their new
uniforms. Experience shows that
band, which is the first public neces-
sity, is a big bill of expense. while
an orchestra can be made salf-sus-
tanning from the money which the
public pays for amusements.
All that is necessary for the public
to do is to extend it's patronage to
the musicians when they are dis
posed to be progressive.
| am talking this way to the pub
lie because l want to get something
done. The Grand opera house or
chestra cannot take on amateurs.
Who is going to develop the string
section to the future orchestra of
DEBORAH? Does the public realize
that with the love of music-good
the abundant talent 60
ing to waste, a practical man of ex-
perience could develop an orchestra
right here in DEBORAH that would be
complete and efficient, and would in
all probability perpetuate itself?
Does the public desire that prac-
tical man should come to DEBORAH to
cover the essential points in music
and be denied it's benefits?

IOwa's Popcorn.

1t is little known, possibly, out
side of those directly interested, that
Iowa controls the popcorn market.
In Ida and sac counties are found
the latest growers of popcorn. In
the spring the buyers for the larger
users of popcorn contract ahead for
the seasons crop. The breakfast
food manufacturers are extensive
consumers. The buyers go to the
farmer when he is planting his crop,
to offer him so much per hundred
pounds for fall delivery. There are
elevators in Ida Grove and Odebolt
that handle nothing but popcorn.
One of the largest popcorn raisers
last year sold $500 worth in one
consignment.-Des Moines Capital.

Turning Club Gives Fine Program.

The annual entertainment of the
Luther College Turning Club on Fri
day evening was an event in which
more than ordinary interest and
pleasure was taken, largely from
the fact that the club now holds the
state championship, which means
that its work is of the very best.
The program of acrobatic feats con-
tanned sufficient variety to keep the
audience intensely interested from
start to finish, and reflected great
credit upon the club.
