Dollar Concert for rs Cents

A chance to hear an orchestra
which Dean Nagel of Highland Park
college of music declares to be the
peer of many of the orchestras which
are now touring the country, will be
afforded the people of keokuk on
Friday evening at the coliseum at
Twelfth and Main streets. The keo-
kuk high school orchestra under the
leadership of Prof p. c. Hayden, as
sisted by the band of twenty-six pieces
under the leadership of j. c. He'd
rich will give a concert. The admls-
sion fee has been placed low enough
to be within the reach of everyone,
and the coliseum should be packed
Friday evening. A dollar concert for
25 cents is attractive enough to bring
everybody out.
The high school orchestra has been
pronounced an excellent organization
by everyone who has heard it. Dean
Nagel heard the orchestra last June
and declared that it was the nucleus
for a symphony orchestra, and that it
was the peer of many of the concert
orchestras which people pay dollar
or more for the privilege to hear.
Standard selections as well as popu-
lar music will be played by the or
chestra. Poet and Peasant" will be
the big number of the program. This
overture is played by only the high
est class orchestras.
Another interesting feature in con-
nection with the orchestra will be the
fact that for the first time in Keokuk
it will be possible to hear an oboe.
This instrument is new and will be
used in the orchestra concert Friday
night.
The orchestra was organized in
1911, and it has made a splendid rec
ord in the past. It's future seems
brilliant and it is up to the people of
Keokuk to encourage these young
musicians in every way possible. Why
not show them that the city is behind
them in their efforts? The proceeds
will go to the management of The
Comment, the school paper, and to
the use of the orchestra movement
for the Keokuk schools.
The personnel of this fine organi
cation which will be heard Friday
evening is the following:

Spring time dragging. they say, is the most
effective dragging that road can be given. In
the spring time a road is in a receptive stage
for dragging and work done on it at this time
means road that will not only be ready for
early spring work, but one that will be in bet

dragging has been delayed until later.
