than any citizen within one hundred

Sucn rropensities are provocative of
enemies, and SO Franklin X. has never
drunk his morning coffee from loving

The Symphony of Noise.

Futurism in music, or the art of
making horrid noises, is the next thing
the artistic world has to face The
originator of the idea is NJ. Luigi
Russolo, whose vocation is that of a
painter. His idea is to have sym
.phonies of human lfe," composed of
"a multiplication OF the everyday
sounds which 20 TO make up the daily
experience
Beethoven and Wagner he says, have
stirred our hearts for n good many
years; but now we shall take infinitely
more pleasure in listening to the COM
binations Of familiar sounds which
mean so much to us in our daily life.
We shall, he is sure, soon prefer an
imitation of notorious in full cry or
the wall of a tube life to the most
lauded passages in the Heroic SYM
phony" or the Pastoral
1t is easy to see that NJ. Russolo Is
an ingenious gentleman, and his in
genuity in conceiying his ideas is no
greater than his eleyerness in carrying
lit out. He has already partially COM
pleted the task of inventing a number
of instruments to produce his effects.
Those he has already manufactured
will initiate TO the life the sound of
escaping gas. the gurgling of water in
Ia pipe. the snuilling of a motcrcar ex-
haust, the thud of pistons, the har-
monious effect of a tramcar running
at high speed on badly laid track.
the Tapping of flaps, the noise of shop
doors closing. the hustle of large
crowd, and the tender cadences of an
underground railway train.
He has others ION the stocks, but is
suspending operations to write a SYM
phony entitled "Pantheon--Place Cour-
celles." which may possibly be adapt
ed for London audiences under the
name of Bank to Shepherds Bush"
Thus it seems that if the new idea be-
comes popular concertgoers will es-
chew programs. armed with an L. G..
o. monthly guide. All the conductor
of the orchestra will have to do will
be to announce to the audience Ser

the shape of amusement. This year,
as in many years past, the devotees OF
Terpsichore are invited to dance the
old year out and the new year in
under the guidance of the New Ulm
Fire Department at Turner Hall. A
c committee has been going the rounds,
selling tickets, to make sure that the
receipts will be in excess OF the ex.
penditures, and enough have been sold
to guarantee that there will be no
deficit. These Sylvester dances have
always proven very enjoyable affairs
and this years event promises to be
fully as good as anyone of its pre-
decessors. If you have not made up
your mind to 20, do so at once. Even
If you do not dance, show your public
spiritedness by purchasing q ticket.
The boys who for 365 days in the year
stand ready to protect you against
loss from fire, ought to earn your
gratitude to such an extent at least
that you are willing to pay dollar
toward the only public entertainment
that they arrange during the year.
Remember also, Mr.. Citizen, that
people who give up their time for the
public good, must receive enough
encouragement TO keep up the good
work. By buying ticket to the Fire
mems Ball you will furnish encourage
mept that the fire laddies need.

OF the Father of Waters the Federal
Government seems, to have fallen
asleep. John @. Calhoun, one of
the great statesmen of the times before
the war had prophetic vision of q
great highway which should link all
the Estates together in common
brotherhood which should preserve
the Union. But the war troubles
and the period OF Reconstruction so
occupied the law makers of the Nation
that no more thot was given TO the
great question Of road building until
the necessity for good roads for auto
mobile travel brought before every
one the great lack OF . country whose
roads sre but pretenses.
Another factor in bringing about an
interest in road building has been the
steadily mounting cost of living. Poor
roads make costly farm products and
all over the country have sprung up
good roads associations having in
view the object of improving the high
ways of limited districts. Much has
BEEN accomplished and yet when one
looks at q complete map of the good
roads that have been built in the
United States they appear but as dots
and dashes scattered over the surface.
An interesting comparison of the
figures for travel on roadways as
lined up with the figures for railroad
travel shows the vast Importance of
good roads. 0The Federal Govern.
ment gave millions of dollars worth
of valuable lands to promoters OF
railroad plans. Why should it not
now give attention to plans for really
good highways? This is the question
asked by the National Highways AS
sociation which has been working for
the past several years getting its

Christmas means more to Mr.. and
Mrs. Karl Bode, ST., of Nicollet Town
ship, than to most other mortals, be-
cause this is also the anniversary of
their marriage. This years anniver-
sary will be Of more significance
than any previous one because to-
morrow they will have reached the
5Oth anniversary of their marital
journey thru life. But few mortals
have the pleasure and distinction Of
being able to celebrate the golden
wedding and when they are in the
best of health as Mr.. and Mrs. Bode
are they have every reason to feel
thankful.
At Nicollet, Mimi, on the 25th day
of December, 1863, Karl Bode, Sr.,
and Louise Fiene plighted their troth.
Rev. Rennecke tied the nuptial knot.
Ever since that time they have lived
in Nicollet County, worked hard and
faithfully on their farm and managed
to- lay aside enough so that they can
spend their declining years in peace
and comfort, without having to bo-
ther about the morrow. Usually
when people have reached the 18TH
milestone as is the case with Mr..
Bode, they give up leading the siren
,uous life, but not so with; the jubi-
larian. He not only owns but oper-
ates ] his own car which is certainly
quite feat for a man of his years.
Mr.. Bode was born in Empede,
Neustadt, Hanover, Germanys Feb
ruary rs, 1883, and came to America
with his parents when he was but Ia
years old. The family first located
in Illinois and in the year 1853 the

cemetery.
The deceased was born ID New
Ulm on June Is, 1881. He moved
with his parents to Ridgely town
ship when but . lad; about five years
ago he accepted position with the
Gaar-Scott Co.,. and was sent. to
Buenos Ayres, South America.
Shortly after going, to Buenos.
Ayres he visited the United States
in the interests Of the Gaar-Scott
Co., but could not obtain . vacation

1t was his intention to spent the next
summer at home bur owing to the
fact that the Gaar- Scott Co. sold out
to the Rumely Products Co., his plans
had to be changed.
