THE BAND CONCERT
AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE
GREETS 3RD REGIMENT BAND.

With only about forty eight hours
notice Captain Claire B. Arnold o.
Company H got busy and completed
ARRANGEMENTS for the appearance ii
Oskaloosa of the Third Iowa Infantr,
Band" the organization that recently
came back from the border with ON
4 Boys" The concert was under the
Auspices of Company Fl and the Opera
House while not filed, was occupied
by representative audience that APP
preciated the visit of the band.
Tho band is not supposed to be a
concert band but is distinctly mill
tary band and in that sense, is COCO
one and the program as a whole was
an intermixturo of marches, instrr
mental solos and National airs that
are always welcome to the patriotic
citizen. In this tour each Company
of the Third Regiment was visited
and concert given in their city and
Oskaloosa came in for the finish as
this was the last concert of the trip.
| During the afternoon special con,
cert was given to the children of the
public schools and in this event they
had liberal representation from all
of the schools. Another added at.
traction was the special song that was
rendered by Miss Marguerite Argo
with the accompaniment played by
her mother Mrs. Argo. This song and
music was composed and sent to the
boys while they were on the border
and it was greatly appreciated by
them.
During the intermission, the Com
pany H Quartette entertained the au-
IdIence with some of their musical
sketches and the applause and re.
calls indicated the pleasure of the
audience. During the last half of the
program Perry Kissick who was the
assistant cornet soloist in the band
gave a fine solo and the audience
were glad to hear Perry again in this
kind OF work. ssses 2
Bandmaster Major George Landers
paid Oskaloosa glowing compli-,
ment by stating that he always knew
where to send for good musicians and
that Mr.. Farmhouse and Mr.. Beckmen.
our band leader had always been
quick in giving him valuable assist
ance. Two Oskaloosa boys played
with the band on Monday evening,
Perry Kissick who went to the border
with them and John Jeannetti. our
popular trombone soloist.
The vigorous change ofclimate from
warm to cold weather has incapaci-I
ated the boys somewhat and yet in
ipite Of this fact the concert was one

HOW TO FIND WATER

Scoutmaster Waldo Williams of Fort
Stockton, Tex. teaches the scouts of
bis troop TO find water in the desert
by using the following methods:
In the dry, sandy bed Of a water
course--dig in the sand. If there is
water above and below the point
where You dig say even 40 or 80
miles-you are almost sure TO find
water. generally from foot to five
feet deep. Example-Rio Grande be.
tween I'll Paso and Socorra. N. NJ
In the dry bed OF mountain stream
look on the downstream side OF bould-
crs and lodges for "Charcos" or pot
boles. which hold water for weeks
after the main stream is dry.
On the plains, trees or higher vege-
tation mean that water is near the
surface or on the surface. But the
best is know where your next water
is before you start and feel pretty
sure ii is there-but carry enough
water to get back"
In stock country or a country in
which there is enough game to make
trails you can always follow the trails
TO wates The main point to deter.
mine Is which way is water.
The trails always fork out from the
water.
in determining the direction Of
water watch for blind forks or trails
that merely leave the main trail and
return to II In a short distance.
Certain cacti contain enough water
to relieve thirst This water has an un-
pleasant taste. but it is wet The
prickly pear Is one kind, but great
care must be exercised to ESCAPE the
almost miscr5scopic spines. q have
seen thirsty cattle eat them, spines
