HAVE TWO BANDS NOW.
Beloit Citizens WIN Get Lots OF Music
in the Future.

BelOit, Kan, Feb. 2.-The time was
when Manifold's Military band was the
pride of Beloit. It went on num-
Der OF extended trips and played at
many of the largest state gatherings
and was well known as one OF the
leading bands of the state. But for
numerous reasons this celebrated or
ganfzation passed out of existence and
for several years Beloit was entirely
without an organized band.
Last fall, however, the old germ
began to get in its work and now the
town can boast of two bands which
threaten to put it back on the map
as a musical city. Manifold's band
was reorganfzed and has regained
most Of it's lost form and ''Kelly's Kid
band" has broken into the ring with
the promise to stick and compete Tor
the juvenile honors of the state.
This latter band has over thirty
members ranging in age from ten to
fifteen years and they are practically
prepared for public concert work al
ready. The credit for this organiza-
ton belongs to Bliss Kelly. the fore
man of the job printing department
Of the Daily Call, who by individual
lessons and able leadership has SIM
ply worked wonders with the boys
from the standpoint Of developing
their musical ability. His band will
have the honor Of leading the process
sion on the opening day OF the Beloit
cnautauQua. Both bands will receive
the hearty support of the city and will
play upon most public occasions.

criticism has been directed toward me

on these occasions. I have danced,
however, frequently, in England.
II am anxious to assist my hearers

Of recreation. insist there is no
harm in dancing or in cards when

United States Will Enforce MI
gratory Bird Law.
R. P. Holland Tells When
Fowls May Be Killed.

A large number of the vio-
lations Of the Federal migratory bird
law are unintentiOnal but in the Iut-
ture the law will be enforced r1gloiy'
according to r. p. Holland. OF Atch1-
son, district inspector of the depart
ment of agriculture, who was in the
city today. Mr.. Holland said:
From the number of letters
which they have received on the SUD
ject recently, officials of the depart
ment of agriculture believe that
sportsmen may unintentionally violate
the provisions Of the federal migra-
tory bird law, which it is the purpose
Of the government to enforce rlgldiy.
Water Fowl Seasons
Under the prov isions Of this law
no water fowl can be shot in the
northern or breeding zone after Janu-
airy Is, except in New Jersey, where
the season extends to February l. In
most of the southern or wintering
z-ne tn season closes February 1. but
extends to February Is in Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina. These
regulations were proclaimed on Octo-
Der l, 1914. No change has since
been made in them and no change is
likely to be -lade until the constitu-
tionality of the law has been passed
on by the U. S. Supreme court.
LAS a matter Of fact, the law pro-
vides that all change in the regula-
tions must be consid. d for a period
Of nine+ Gays, and the must be ap-

thus evident that there is no POSSIBLE
ity that the prohibition of spring
shooting ill be in any way modified
this year.

'"rhe officials Of the United States
department Of agriculture who are en-
trusted with the enforcement Of the
law are anxious that these facts be
impressed Upon the people because it
is the Intention to investigate care

to the departments inspectors and
wardens and to prosecute all such vio-
lations in the federal courts. In this
connection it is pointed out that pro-
secutions may be instituted at any

SENSATIONAL BREAKS
 IN PRICE OF HOGS.
Ranged from 75 Gents to $1a Hundred
 Pounds in 4s Hours.

Chicago. Oct. 21-Senaational breaks of 35 to 50 cents on the hundred weight took place today in the value of hogs. As quotations last night showed drop of 40 to 50 cents under tho previous days average, the smash in prices today ranged from 75 cents to $1 a hundred pounds as compared with la hours ago.
 According to Edward A. La Bart an official of Morris & Co, the extraordi- nary drop in valuea is largely the TO- suit of the interference of Great Brit ain with the commerce of the United States with neutral European eoun- . tries. although the overEupply of hogs and the unusual crop conditions this year have cut considerable figure, Mr. La Bart today said;
 ''The fact was pointed out several weeks ago by the American packers that unless some action was taken by the United States the livestock busi- ness of this country would in a large measure go to ruin. The break iu prices are only forerunnsF of what can naturally be expected"
