certs are growing in popularity and
the band Is gaining reputation for
excellency that It has never before
enjoyed. The new uniforms and in
struments made a hit with the towns

road property east of the C. w. & Nj.
company. There are few accomEoda-
tions for listeners and the band boys
have been carrying their chairs from
across the tracks every night. A band
stand IL greatly needed and the boys
think that with the cooperation Of the
lumber yards and a few carpenters
they will soon have place where they
can play In comfort. Between twenty
and twenty-five pieces are out for
every concert and leader Bum con-
ducts the music with snap and vim
that pleases all those who turn out to
hear the music. Many bands In towns

RAIN DISPELLED GLOON

The cloud of gloom that has dark
ened the faces of many farmers for
the past two weeks has been largely
dispelled by the cool refreshing nights
and light showers of the last week.
The few hot days and dry winds that
followed the heavy June rains threat
ened the spring grain so dangerously
that many of the farmers began to
save what little they could of it for
hay. The blades began to wither and
wilt and in many instances the pros
poets appeared to be not worth the
harvest. An unusually large acreage
of spring grain made the threatened
drouth unusually dangerous and had
1t continued would have greatly affect
ed the yield. The late cool nights have
allowed the moisture In the ground to
rise and refreshen the growing crops
the showers have added their help and
with fair weather the majority of the
farmers look for a fair crop of spring
sown grain and heavy yield of win
ter wheat, which has passed the dan
ger period. Harvest west of town is
expected to begin within two weeks
The grain is ripening rapidly and
preparations for harvest supercede all
other work. Combines, harvesters, and
threshing outfits are going out every
day to care for the largest acreage
of grain that has ever been sown in
this section.
