What a Good Band Means

The following is taken from The Ty-
rome, Ohio. Times, and mas a distinctive
local application
"Once in awhile we hear somebody
carelessly and boastfully say, What good
is band in a town, anyway Well, first
take inventory of the fellow who made
the remark. You may have reason to
allow the silly questio to go unanswered
But, regarding the remark more seriously
let us say that good up-to.date band is
one of the most useful things a town or
community can possess. 1t is one OF the
best advertisements a town can have. A
good band has marked the location on
the map for many a town. Emerson says
something about the world making
beaten path. Well, band will make all
the roads leading to the towns beaten
paths. even though the towns other at
fractions be not numerous. Every mer
chant is benefited by a good band-es-
pecialy a concert band. Hundreds OF
people come to attend the delightful en-
tertainments and they combine shopping
with this pleasure. The promoters of
business and municipal enterprises al
ways have the satisfaction of kno wing
that their civic demonstrations from
time to time will be successful, because
they have a first class band to lead the
way and attract the crowd. The church
es are provided with orchestras and spe-
cial musical members on anniversary
and jubilee occasions. The social func-
tions of community are more satisfac'
factory and decidedly more pleasant be-
cause musicians equal to any occasion
are just close by. A band. composed of
able players-like many bands in the
state-is a tower of strength to any
town or section OF country. Itcultivates
the public ear to high class of music.
and does it right at your own door, too.
Every enterprising citizen will boost the
band of his town wherever he goes.

Kisses Wife to
 Escape Prison

DENNER.-Justice of the Peace Dunnington, of Colorado Springs, has his own ideas of justice in non-sup- port cases. At the trial of Robert Hudson, after listening to some of the testimony, he halted the trial,
 Under the law the court can do one of two things said the masia- trate Tt can send you to jail or bind you over for trial in the dis trict court, where you might be sen fenced to the pententiary. but nei- ther one of these things will help your wife, so you have got to sup port her. Now, you go over and kiss Mrs. Hudson, or go to jail. just as you please
 Hudson hesitated a minute, then put his arm around Mrs. Hudson and gave her a real soul kiss. As the two left court, arm in arm, Justice Dunnington smiled.

MEUSE VALLEY
 IS DESCRIBED

The Valley of the Mouse river. extending through France, Belgium and Holland and up and down whose course 2,oO0 years of intermittent war fare has been waged, forms the sub ject of statement given out by the National Geographical society:
 These countries share the Mouse. It rises in France, flows northward through Belgium, crosses the Dutch frontier. sweeps westward through Holland and empties into the North sea. It's journey to the sea is one of 5SO miles, of which 460 are naviga- ble
 The valley of the Mouse for ages has been a channel for the ebb and flow of armies It might be said to drain one vast, historic battlefield. Caesar pursued it's path into the un known, barbaric north. The wild teu- tonic tribes pressed down between it's banks toward the wealth of Rome. Christian Europe has been settling it's differences along the valley of the Mouse by force of arms down to the present day.
 In the forest of Ardennes the in romances of Charlemagne Vine lands and hop gardens lie further along it's banks, and then it washes great industrial cities, gathering to itself the ashes, rust and acids of factory and furnace waste Finally it drifts clear through the tide flats of Holland, supplying the numerous canals which lazily divide the plains.
 Here and there, as between Ma mur and Liege. it cuts a narrow passage between wooded hills and cliffs, their difficult sides dotted with pretty villas. Just before reach ing the sea the Mouse, here the Maas, divides, one branch flowing west and the other mingling with the Rhine to empty past Rotterdam at the Hook of Holland.
 Tn the beginning of it's course the valley of the Mouse is a wide meadowland. It then breaks into a gorge, fringed with broken. tangled banks. There is wealth of scenic beauty along it's way. Philip the Good Duke of Burgundy, is said to have caused 800 people to be drown ed in it's Waters.'

Rockefeller Has A
 Disappearing Lake

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.-John D. Rockefeller not only has the most money in the world but he is now the possessor of a disappearing lake.
 So far he has spent $2OO,O00 on this beautiful addition to the but termilk hill section. Twice has the the lake been completed and the water turned on, and just as many times it has disappeared, leaving a sandy bottom bowl.
 Mr. Rockefeller gave the matter much thought but without result. Now that he wants to put his mind on something varying from his usual trend of thought he is going to work on the lake mystery even to the eX- clusion of his favorite golf. He in tends to build the lake, no matter what it costs and he is on the job all day to see that it is done. Once before a Rockefeller lake disappear ed and he intends that it shall not occur again.
 The local wit of Tarrytown has observed that this may be proof of the adage that oil and water will not mix.

School Boys Steal
 Kisses m a Car

LOS ANGELES. Complete dark
 ness silenced a crowded car return ing from a football game last Thurs
 day. The trolley had left the wire and, except for the dimmed rays
 from one lamp post, not light was to be seen.
 Suddenly resOunding smack
 shattered the stiffness within the car. Another and yet another smack impressed themselves in shocking
 resonance upon the sensitive ears
 of the crowd.
 When the lights went on blush ing, crimson-faced maiden was seen
 sitting motionless and mortified in
 her seat, while around her crowded
 number of grinning High School youths.
 The school authorities are still
 making an effort to discover the identity of the culprits.

Former F airbanksan
 Is Leader Of Band

"If it hadn't been for Pinkert, we would not have had any band. He is the life of it.
 The above was the statement of Lieutenant Harry L. Twaddle, who is in charge of the Fort Gibbon military band which arrived here yesterday. It refers to Aubrey Pin kiert, the former Fairbanks boy who is now in business at Panama.
 Continuing, the officer praised his men for their persistence in learn ing to play band instruments. Last fall there were but very few of them who knew anything about mu- sic, and they have attained their present standard only by virtue of the fact that they have been prac- ticing during nearly all of their leis- ure hours.
 Lieutenant Twaddle expresses himself as very we'll pleased with the treatment accorded to him and his men in Fairbanks, further stat ing that the visit here is one which will be long remembered by all.
 With an annual output of 9S,OOO,- 900 barrels, California now leads all other States in the production of petroleum. Next in the order named come Oklahoma, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana, West Virginia, Ohio. Penn sylvania, Wyoming, Kansas and In diana.
