THE BAND CONCERTS

The open air band concerts given
Fby the Audubon band in the public
ssquare on Thursday evening of each
week, are proving quite popular as
was evidenced by the large crowd in
attendance last Thursday evening.
. The Commercial Club is paying
for this weekly music, or at least a
part of it. The members of the band
are making a sacrifice of their time
in order that Audubon may have
this special attraction. The leader,
Prof. Clifford, is also making quite a
sacrifice, as the pay he receives is
only pittance as compared with the
compensation he could receive if he
devoted his time and energy in other
directions.
We are certainly to be congratul-
ated on being able to maintain such a
good musical organization. The
young folks from the country are
coming to town to enjoy these con-
certs and we want them to feel per-
fectly welcome. We must have some
sort of amusement and certainly no
class of amusement can be so useful
and uplifting as music. Let all strive
to make Thursday night one big
night.

MEXICAN PEACE CONFERENCES

II the word that comes from Mex
lean sources is to be relied upon, the
detention of Victoriano Huerta at Ell
Paso is bringing results much sooner
than might have been expected. 1t
is now reported that Carranza has
reconsidered his previously announc-
ed intention, and has consented to
meet with Villa for the purpose of
discussing terms of peace. No secret
is made that this determination was
brought about by the arrest of Huer-
ia. The action of the United States
in this case. and the refusal of Pres
ident Wilson to meet Felipe Angeles,
late Villa lieutenant, has made very
clear to the chieftains in Mexico that
no advantage will come to either that
the other does not share by reason
of any action that may be taken by
our government. Huerta's new ac-
tivity is a menace to all of them, and
they openly express the fear that the
new party will, il permitted to go on,
so complicate the situation that in
tervention by the United States can
not be avoided. Understanding this
point, it is also very plain to the Mex
leans that il they can now sink their
personal interests, the way to peace
Is open.

WILL REMAIN NEAR AUDUBON

Fern Anderson, wife and youngest
daughter drove over from Audubon
Sunday to visit his sister, Mrs. C. o.
Gipple and fs mily. They were accom-
panied by Miss Matte Baker of Still
water Oklahoma, sister of Mrs. And
erson, who was for many years a
resident of this township, living with
her parents, Charles Baker and wife,
on farm northeast of Anita. Miss
Baker was a graduate of the Anita
high school with the class of 1902,
moving from here with her parents
that year to Oklahoma where she has
taught in the public schools for the
past thirteen years. Her father Chas.
Baker passed away four years ago
and her mother last spring. Miss
Baker has many friends here and
will probably visit them this sum
mer as she will remain with her sis
ter at Audubon for sometime. She
was reelected to her position in the
saltwater, Oklahoma, schools, but
has decided that she will take vaca-
ton and not teach for the next year
at least.--Anita Tribune.

GO TO EUROPE

Whenever difficulties arise with
foreign nations, the lingo burst forth
at every corner drug store and gro
Gerry in the land, where the proprie-
tor hasn't got on to him. He's tell
ing whoever will listen why the Unit
ed States should go to war and what
this country would do if it measured
arms with an enemy. When the time
comes for volunteers, the lingo will
get a case of charley-horse and won't
be able to march, so the quiet fellow,
who wasn't so darn anxious about
the war in the first place, will have
to shoulder the musket and do the
fighting. Champ Clark is advising
the country to leave the settlement
of our difficulties with foreign pow
ers to the president and his advisers.
In the treanches, the Germans are
said to be doing more harm with
poisonous gas than with bullets.
That's what the lingo is doing over
here with his conversational gas. If
you want to fight, go to Europe!
