Spokane Citizens Find Cleanup Week
ProfitabIe-250 Tons Gathered

SPOKANE, March Five thousand
persons became thrifty and received
$4,000 for their trouble on Spokane S

Two hundred and fifty tons of old
paper were taken from homes, stores
and offices to depots located in var
ious parts of the city. Fancy prices
offered by collectors caused thousands
of householders to explore closets and
garrets for the precious waste. Spo-

elbows with small boys with sleds. At
one time % automobiles, trucks and
transfer wagons were lined up on
Boone avenue awaiting their turn to
reach the scales for weighing and un-

COMPETENT LEADER
Republic Band Leader Has Studied
Music Since He Was Eight.

Every kid AT an early age has as
torman. a fireman or band conduc-
tor Not unlike other boys the same
ideas prevailed in the heart of little
+ j. Major, now leader of the Re
public Motor Truck Company's Band
of Alma. Mich, whose musical career
began in his eighth year and has
been one Of continuous romance ever
since.
His first lessons were taught him
on the violin and it did not take long
foi the little nspirational soul TO
master this which is considered one
OF the most difficult of all instruments
to play. Later, he readily took to
the study of reed instruments and
eventually could play something on
practically every instrument known.
While still young the boy played
various parts in several bands of
minor Importance, mostly those of To-
cal repute in Missouri, his home state,
and at the age of seventeen he be-
came leader Of the Sumeral Band Of
Oklahoma.
Not satisfied TO be under the en-
ploy of others. during his twentieth
year he organized and headed his own
musical organization and called it
Majors Concert Band, which made
tours of the South.
\ little later the opportunity came
to him to study under the direction
ol one of Sousa's leading musicians
and he gave up the direction Of his
own band 10 secure this training.
During his twenty first year he was
made Bandmastcr of the FIRST Rcgi-
mont Band Of Tennessee. At the age
Of twenty two he entered the employ
OF the Columbia Military Academy
where he taught music and was made
leader Of the Columbia Military Band
Here ne stayed until his twenty-siXth
year which was in 1916. when he was
sought by the Republic Motor Truck
Co., Inc. 20 direct their band
The Republic Motor Truck Com
panys Band j. now considered to be
tho greatest non-professional band in
the world and much of the credit for
It's phenomenal success is due its
worthy leader.
