LUTHER COLLEGE
BAND MAKES HIT
Students On Way to Norway
Played at the St. Paul
Auditorium.

The Luther college concert band
and chorus, Decorah, a., made most
impressive appearance in St. Paul at
the Auditorium Saturday night.
The concert was success in every
way. The audience was enthusiastic,
J almost to the extreme. Besides the
many St. Paul people there was pres
ent large number from Minneapolis
and other cities and village in the
Northwest.
This band Of 6O-odd pieces, long
generally recognized as the best coll
ege concert band in the country, is
leaving for Norway to appear at the
centennial exposition at Christiania
on May II. The band boys will sail
from New York with Director Carlo
A. Sperati, May s.
In addition to the racial and pa
triotic aspects of the concert given by
the Luther college band and chorus at
the Auditorium Saturday evening the
| standard character Of the music COM
manded admiration. Although a stu
dent band, composed for the most part
Of undergraduates and 'preps', with a
the overture to the Barber of Seville
the Grieg Peer Gynt' suite, the Liszt
second Hungarian Rhapsody and the
Wagner Procession of the Knights,
from 'Parsifal.' These were by no
means too ambitious.
The brass was fine, we'll blended
and smooth as an organ. The wood
winds were deftly handled with clean
cut figure and good intonation. There
was an unusual appreciation of the
finer and more poetic points of
rhythm and expression, which re-
vealed high order of mentality and
thorough, consistent rehearsal.
! Conductor Sperati is modest, we'll
controlled in gesture, attentive to de-
tail, magnetic, without friction and ef-
fective without waste motion.
} The band also played march by
Victor Nielsson, musical critic of Min
neapolis, and a patriotic medley by
Lice Johnson, called The Battle of
Little Big Horn very carnival cf
Ibugle calls, cannon, revolver shots,
Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, In

and exquisite expression. Last

English Steamship Line Discontinues
Passenger Service to Europe.
Hans Gunderson, local agent for the
Cunard Line, received telegram yes
terday from the general agents for
said line to stop booking passengers
for all sailings, both east and west
bound, owing to the critical was stu
alton in Europe.
With the English lines discontinu-
ing the passenger service, as we'll as
all German and French lines, it means
that Americans that are now touring
Europe will have to remain over there
indefinitely, until taken home on
American warships or other vessels.
1t is estimated that there are fifty
thousand Norwegian-American So
journing in Scandinavia. Gilbert O..
Sand and family, Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Rasmussen, Rev. 1. A. Johanson and
many others from this county are
among them. The capacity of the
Scandinavian lines is very limited and
would require a great many trips to
bring over these tourists even if they
will remain free to do so. The Will
mar tourists went over on the Nor
Wegian-American line and may be
fortunate enough to have already
booked berths for the return.

MORROW IS UNDER
$4,000 BONDS
Another Com plant Brings Second
Arrest Of Bank Stock
Solicitor.

On complaint of Alfred Lundberg Of
New London, D. R. Morrow, the pro-
moter for the Sterling Securities Co.,
of Minneapolis, was arrested at Min
neapolis by Sheriff Bonde on Thurs
day, July 23rd, and brought to Will
mar to be arraigned the next day be-
fore Judge Muller of the Municipal
court on the charge Of grand larceny
of the first degree. He waived exam
ination and in order to secure his re-
lease from custody made application
to the District judge to be placed un-
der bail to appear at the next term of
district court and answer to the
charge. Judge Qvale fixed his bonds
at 100000 which were furnished by
E. M. Holmes and w. B. Ewing OF
Minneapolis. Morrow's attorney is
Frederick H. Stinchfeld.
This is the second charge against
Mr.. Morrow pending in the district
court, which has developed from the
dealings of the Sterling Securities
Company at New London.
The Sterling Securities Company
proposed the starting of Farmers
bank at New London last summer anG
about $43,000.00 of their stock was
sold in that locality to farmers anc
business men for the purpose of fur
nishing capital for such bank. A
building was rented for the purpose
After some months delay fixtures
were installed. This revived the
waivering faith of many Of the stock
holders for the time being. Theil
hopes however, finally shattered whe1
on a suit brought against the com
pany by some of the less sanguint
subscribers it was found that the com
pany had diverted the money int,
other channels and later when it wa
learned that the company had gon'
into bankruptcy.
The building and fixtures are ye
standing empty and unused at New
London and the final outcome will b
watched with interest.

WILLMAR TEAM TO TRAVEL
Local Ball Tossers to Play at Litch
field Next Sunday and at Marshall
the Following Week.

All the details for the big tourna-
ment at Litchfeld Sunday, Aug. 9th,
have been completed, and the Hutch
inson and Waverly teams will play at
2 o'clock, while the Willmar and Co.
kato teams will engage in mortal CON-
bat at 4 o'clock.
Altho Willmar was originally sched-
uled to play Waverly, Cokato begged
Litchfield to give them another
chance against Willmar, and the
committee agreed to do this. From
local standpoint, this is a disappoint-
ment, as there is little glory to be got
ten in defeating Cokato again, as they
have been licked twice already this
season.
They seem to like it, tho, and they
have loaded up with every thing they
can lay their hands on, including Jack
Gilligan, one of the best pitchers on
the staff of the Minneapolis American
Association team. Jack may find the
going rather rough Sunday, tho, as the
locals have been banging the ball at a
great clip lately. Either Buck john
son or Joe Holmberg will do the heav-
ing for the locals, and with these two
in shape, Cokato will have to show
more base ball than she has so far
this season to win.
After corresponding for the last
three or four weeks with Marshall the
Willmar team finally got some satis-
faction, and the result is that the
Willmar team will journey to the
southern city for series of two
games on the 18th and 18th of this
month. A special train will be run on
the 18th to accommodate the crowd
who want to make the trip.
Marshall has one of the fastest
teams in the state without doubt, and
the games should bring out some very
good base ball. Oliver Harsted VINO
played with Willmar early in the sea-
son, is playing short for the Marshall
team, and is proving a great sensa-
ton.
The local team will have their best
lineup, and Buck Johnson and Joe
Holmberg will probably do the hurl-
ing.

JUST ESCAPED
T|E-UP IN EUROPE
Luther College Band Comes
From Tour IN Old
Countries.

The Luther College Concert Band,
which comes to Willmar Sunday, mar
rowly escaped the tie-up in Europe
which is holding so many American
tourists and travellers. It comes right
from the enthusiastic demonstrations
incident to the centennial celebration
in Norway where it's music proved
one Of the great features of the cele-
bration. The band was a source of
pride to the thousands of Americans
who were in attendance, and the sue
cess which it met abroad will be re-
flected in the performance at Willmar
Park auditorium next Sunday after
noon.
The band will arrive on a special
train which leaves Granite Falls at
$3.50 a. M, and may be expected to
arrive at Willmar at about 9:45 o.
clock. 1t will stop at Maynard, Clara
City and Raymond to accommodate
any who wish to come to Willmar for
the day. The usual running time will
bring the train to Maynard at about
$3.50; Clara City, 9:05, and Raymond,
1920. Returning the train leaves
Willmar at $3.50 p. m. The special
train was made necessary to insure a
good nights rest for the band, that it
might be in the best possible form to
render it's music at the Willmar con-
cert.
A large attendance is expected from
Benson, and intervening points to
come by autos. Also from the north
ern villages and surrounding country.
A number of tickets have already been
spoken for, and everything indicates
a large attendance. The reserved
seats are on sale at Carlson's drug
store. The central section only has
been reserved at rs cents per seat.
The side sections are open to holders
of general admission tickets at SOC
and Csc for children under twelve
years. There will be no free admis-
sions to grounds.
The program arranged for the WILL
mar concert will be a splendid one.
The band has a very large repertoire
and the selections will be such as will
be appreciated. Don't miss this great
musical treat.

Development Association will be held
at Benson, Swift county. The dates,
not definitely fixed as yet, will
probably be November 49,, 20 and 21.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the association it was vot-
ed to hold the exposition at Benson if
the citizens Of that place wanted it
enough to pledge financial support

unanimously passed a resolution ac-
cepting all the terms made by the as
sociation and definitely deciding that
the big event should be put on there.

and H. G. Hansen.
Mr.. Thornton, who is also treasurer
Of the development association made
the following statement after the com
mittee had done this preliminary
work. "We didn't meet with any oh.
jections. The response of the bust.
ness men of Benson was what it al.
ways is, unanimously and enthusias.
tically in favor of the big undertak.
ing. The necessary money was sub.
scribed quickly and, what is more i'm.
portant, everyone expressed will
ingness to get in and work to make
this years exposition even greater
than that Of last year and thus an
even more remarkable advertisement
Of the spirit and possibilities of Ben.
son and West Central Minnesota. We
are going to go the limit"
The general Offices of the develop
ment association at Morris, will pe
moved temporarily and all operations
will be carried on from Benson dur
ing six weeks or two months prior tc
the big event. People all over the
district will work to make the show
ing of their respective counties record
breakers and when the public is lei
behind the scenes next November il
is predicted that even the most en-
thusiastic will be surprised at what
West Central Minnesota really car
produce.
Last years event was remarkable
success and surprise to people i1
the district as we'll as to those al
over the Northwest. 1t was held al
Morris, Stevens county. Practically
fifteen thousand people attended dur
ing the three days. Over twelve
hundred men made exhibits of corr
and alfalfa. The show made history
not only for West Central Minnesota
but for the Northwest. AS result o
it the district was made known t
hundreds of thousand Of people, thou
sands have come into the various
counties and are making homes, ant
the people already here have made
rapid progress toward 'better farm
ing, better business and better liv
ing"
