BAND WILL ASSIST
AT BANQUET
MlSSOULA'S MUSICIANS WILL
PLAY DURING THE BIG RED
APPLE FEAST.

The Missoula band will play at the
Red Apple banquet. The members of
the band had only to be invited; they
responded quickly and assured Secre-
tary Ferguson that they would be glad
to do their share in making the big
banquet a success. The playing of the
band will be a great help, too. 1t has
taken it's place as one of the leading
musical organizations of the state, and
it's program on the night of the apple
feast will make the banquet doubly
interesting for the. many visitors.
Plans for the banquet are progressing
s%plendidly, n the affair is going to
fore. The tickets are going fast, for
he demand for them is great and it be-
gins to look as if M~issoula's limited
portion would not satisfy the demand.
Missoula people who want to assist in
this biggest celebration of western
tickets are going mighty fast.
From all parts of the state inter
ested people are writing. The Red APP
pie banquet is attracting attention
everywhere, and people of prominence
from every city of Montana are eager
to attend the feast. 1t is going to be. a
great affair. There will b. speeches
from the biggest men in the state;
plenty of the Bitter Roots juicy apple.
cooked in every Imaginable form, and
a good musical program.

is too healthful," sand Mr.. Van Spanck-
eren yesterday. 80 long as l was a
sick man could stay, with a clear on

bust once more and able to work, l
must go where my work is. | shall,
however, let no opportunity pass where
] might ass on the good news about
this country. l shall be a missionary
carrying the fame of Montana Wher-

S~ranckeren will be missed by a host
Of friends, the latter especially for her
charming ability as a dramatic reader
which she has given of generously for
their pleasure and inspiration.
