WHY NOT HAVE A
Band FOR VALLEY CITY?

The movement to organize and
maintain a good band in Valley City
is worthy one, and we believe it
would give the town as much valuable
advertising for the money expended
as anything that could be mentioned.
Those most interested in such a pro-
ject are bound to sacrifice more or
less of their time, and the citizens and
towns people should not be backward
in giving them encouragement and
also give substantially in other ways
The management of the Valley City
Chautauqua will arrange for band
tournament at its meeting this sum-
mer, and Valley City should not be
one of the towns without band.
"The value of the village band, as a
community asset, is pointedly set
forth in the following editorial recent
ly appearing in the st. Paul Daily
News:
rep. John Gerlach may be laughed
at for his bill permitting cities of the
fourth class to levy tax for the main
tenance of village bands, but the meas
ure deserves to pass for all that.
"The small town without band
doesn't know that it's alive. 1t is sour,
sordid, selfish, unsociable. 1t has no
community consciousness, individual.
ity or pride. If it's dry, it's likely to be
ia. stamping ground for hypocrisy; if
it's wet, it is probably the hang-out of
drunkards. Without the inspiring,
democratizing, eminently social ele-
ment of the community band the town
runs to severe, unsocial extremes.
mo matter if the band is bad, its
influence on it's town is good. It's
about the first thing that makes a
town feel that it's really on the map.
It is help to business, promoter OF
acquaintance, an aid to matrimony. A
town with a band on the job doesn't
need the county seat and doesn't have
to beg very hard to get the Flyer to
stop there.
! 1T isn't all in the music. Co-opera,
ton is big part Of it. A live band is
the best preventive Of, dead town.

the railroad fare is the same, anyone

A COMING WoRLD-BEATER

A two-year-old Holstein heifer on
the dairy farm of Dana Thomar, near
Fort Dodge, Iowa, for a period extend
ing over several months, has given an
average of 81 quarts of milk per day
A heifer that can produce milk in that
quantity at two, ought to be world
beater in a few years hence. 1t is
necessary to milk her three times a
day. A heifer like this would produce
enough milk to keep up the table ex'
penses of an ordinary family.

In one Of the most hair-raising and

count of fast play and close guarding
the High school led at the end Of the
first half by score of II to S.
After the intermission the Normal
team came back determined to win
The score mounted up, the High school
keeping about six points ahead, until 1t
was % to II. At this juncture Coach
Call took out Markuson and substi
tuted Peterson. This seemed some
how to give the team new life, and
they commenced their rally. Basket
by basket they crept up on their op.
ponents until the score was a tie, %
to 23, with only few minutes TO play.
The Normal boys did not hesitate, but
continued to roll in baskets until the
final score amounted to 29 to %. Much
credit is due the Normal team for the
spirit with which their winning rally
was made. The High school was per
mitted to play Tracy and Pfusch. The
game was played under conference
rules and upon the Normal floor, both
of which circumstances gave them a
decided advantage. Hemp refereed

NAY Be affected BY
RESULT OF ELECTION

s. A. Belcher, of Miami, one of the
Dixie Highway commissioners ap-
pointed for the state of Florida by
Governor Trammell, has written the
Daytona board of trade concerning
volusia county's interest in the Chi
cagoto-Miami road. Here are the
essentials Of Mr.. Belcher's letter:
1T is important that you get busy
at once and take some photographs
of your roads and places of interest in
your county. If you want the Dixie
highway. A small kodak will answer.
Paste in an album or book, together
with other data and general informa-
tion as to the condition of your roads
and what you propose doing in your
county.
There is a strong fight for this
great highway, and you can assist
me very much in getting together the
facts to present at the next meeting
of the commission. which convenes
at Chattanooga on the 10th of this
MONTH"
/ Local citizens who are working TO
promote sentiment favorable to the
proposed 100000 issue of bonds TO
pay for the construction of a hard
surfaced highway in this section of
Volusia county have seized upon Mr.
Belcher's letter as one of the nu-
merous strong arguments in support
of their contentious. They say tnat
If the voters in the territory affected
approve of the bond issue on June
Sth, the date the election is to be held,
that fact will go a long way toward
causing the Dixie highway commits
sioners to route il through the eastern
section of volusia county, by way OF
Daytona.
Ii is unquestionably true that Day
tona would be very materially bene
fitted, in the event the commissioners
decide that the Dixie highway should
pass through this city. and it il
equally true that nothing should be
left undone that would cause the
men in authority to favor the Day
tona route. The projected highway
is to begin at Chicago and traverse
sections of the middle west thickis
populated with people who have the
means and the inclination to enjoy
southern tours.
J The guarantee of brick or othel
hard-surfaced road running nortl
and south through this section of tn,
county and connecting with St. Johns
county's brick highway would be al
argument that the Dixie highwa,

HEAVY RAINFALL
FOR THE MONTH OF MAY

The old saying that lit never rains

onstrated Tuesday night and Wedn as
day morning, when the flood gates Of
the heavens were opened and the rain
descended in torrents. The precipita-
ton for the period mentioned is re
ported by j. G. Brown to have been
1923 inches. Added TO the heavy
rains of Saturday night and Monday
night il gave this vicinity total pre-
cipitation in the FIVE days of more
than five inches of rain and the end
is not yet.
An old resident of this section saic
that it has been Is years since this
vicinity was visited by as much rain
in the early part of May as has faller
within the past few days. Usually
Nav is a very dry month, the summed
rains not coming until June. Within
reason, rain at this season is yer,

but from present indications it looki
as If there might be even too much
a good thing and the gardens D
