From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
To say that MapletOn is proud o.
it's band is putting it very mildly
The boys under the able direction o1
J. Rice are to be congratulated fol
the way they entertained the public
at the corn show by the number o1
ways they appeared on the program
and for the quantity as we'll quality
of their music which included selec-
tions from the Bohemian Girl anG
Bird of Paradise as well as popular
airs. This band hopes to retain as
a permanent member the solo cor
onetist of ability, Ralph Townsend OF
Minnesota Lake, of which none bet
ter can be found anywhere. The
duet between Mr.. Townsend and Man
Borchert from the band stand Thurs
day evening was very beautifully
and artistically rendered. The band
expects to hold monthly concerts
during the winter, the proceeds o1
which will be used for band expenses
That they will be accorded crowded
