FOURTH REGIMENT BAND At
STATE FAIR.

The ninth annual engagement as the
official band of the State Fair will be
filled this year by the Fourth Regi-
ment band of Watertown. This band
has always given satisfaction at the
State Fair. This is to be expected
since this is the same band which
won the national band contest at Los
Angeles last July in competition with
some OF the leading bands OF the
country. At Omaha, Salt Lake City
and other points en- route the band
received numerous compliments for
their excellent playing. Probably no
other band in the Northwest Is as ef-
fective in playing Accomplishments
for the vaudeville free acts between
heats and races and the vaudeville
program given just before the IRE
