MISS JESSIE HUMPHREY HEADS
POPULAR MUSIC MOVEMENT

Fondest hopes of city school
authorities were realized last night,
when, at Ais, in response to the call
issued for all who wished to take
music lessons on band and orchestra
instruments, Isl children from the
city schools and the high school
crowded into the room of Miss Jes-
sic Humphrey, music director Of the
city schools, and expressed desire
to follow in the footsteps of Sousa
and Sodero.
Last Thursday Miss Humphrey
made the announcement that all who
wished to learn to play band or or
chestra instrument should gather at
her room at the high school on Mon
day night The school board and the
city school officials decided some
time previously that they would offer
such an opportunity so that pupils
who could not afford private lessons
on musical instruments could secure
rudimentary training at low price.
The result was more than $50 pupils
who will soon be hard at work master
ing the mystery of trombone, cornet
and saXaphOne, besides a multitude of
other instruments.
vi LuS pupI1S WIZ SdCn0l GU Ill 1 c
Spouse to the call for embryo must
clans, 80 expressed desire to learn
to play the violin. Another popular
instrument was the cornet, which was
chosen by % pupils. Trombones were
the choice of ten, drums of four, clar-
inets of fifteen, and saxaphones of
six. Two chose alto horns, four Gel
los, one the bass horn and one the
baritone.
The teachers in charge Of the work
of instructing the pupils of the city
schools along musical lines are Carl
Eilert, R. NJ Bisbee and W. V. ElsCn,
all members of the city band and Mrs.
Leila Robinson who will teach violin
work, instruments are being ordered
today from Kansas City and Chicago
firms and in ten days or two weeks
the actual practice will start The
high school hopes to organize band
from the musicians among it's ranks
soon after Christmas, and it is not UNI
likely that the new plan introduced
into the schools will add many ar
lists to the forces of Aberdeen's mus
cians.---Aberdeen, S. d. American

GRANT PRIDEAUX STRONG FOR
WACO AND DIXIELAND-BOY
HEALTHY AND HAPPY.

Waco, Tex, Oct T. 1917.-Dear Her
aid: Please excuse my delay in writ
ing, as l have been pretty busy. We
have been looking for bust-up, but
we are still together. l suppose we
will get it this week. We had sixteen
mules issued to us today, 50 I am driv-
ing four mules to pass the time away.
They are not very we'll broken yet, so
| had my hands full. We hauled wood
.oday, and have some more to haul
tomorrow.
The weather sure is fine down here.
They haven't had any rain for some
time. | hope it won't rain much while
[ am here, for the gumbo is a fright
have all | can do to drag my feet
around now. If it gets muddy | don't
know what | would do I suppose
the farmers will soon be picking corn
up there. Don't see much corn down
here; mostly cotton. The cotton crop
isn't very good this year; didn't get
much rain this summer.
The people here are much different;
their talk is different too, but they
are real accommodating to us boys.
But the business people sure hold us
soldier boys up. 1 don't think it is
right. We do lots of kicking, but it
doesn't do any good, so we let them
go their length We slip it over on
them every time we get chance.
They tried to rob us at Camp Douglas.
We had to pay two prices for every
thing.
We left Camp Douglas at 1O:4O on
Tuesday and arrived here Friday be-
tween l and 2 p. m. It sure was a
long, tiresome old trip, but we had a
fine time We ate and slept in our
seats, two men in a double seat, and
we could not rest very much. We
came through Milwaukee, Chicago, ST.
Louis and Fort Smith and several 9th
err places We got off the train at
Fort Smith and ST. Louis. We march
ed around the two cities, the bands
played and we sang and yelled. The
people were glad to see us. We left
our addresses in several places so the
/ girls could write to us, but | guess
they must have lost my name, as
/ haven't heard from any Of them yet.
We are about three miles from
Waco; the street cars run within four
blocks of our camp. We almost al
ways go down in an auto, 25c each
way, another hold-up. | guess we are
easy, all right We can stay out until
II at night If you have good stand
in with the first sergeant you can stay
later. Waco sure is a pretty place
There are some beautiful homes in
there
| Now [ guess [ have told you the
news [ know now, so will ring off fol
this time. Give my best regards tC
ALL and tell some Of my friends tt
write. 1t sure is nice to hear from
friends up there. Now be good, and

taken from a novel written by him.
In denying the injunction. Judge
Mayer said:
Every well regulated war novel
and war play must have a spy.
Having acquired a spy. the novel
and the play require that the spy
must get somebody in trouble. Stage
and story made spies are always
very villanous persons. When they
are humble men they usually have
heavy eyebrows. stoop or q
slouch and a sinister look. When
they are higher up in spydom they
are we'll groomed and have an erect
bearing, but they must also have q
sinister look.
Female spies usually must be
handsome or at least attractive.
Sometimes they have flashing Jewels
although occasionally "a minor fe-
male spy who is the Andlady Of an
inn. is supposed to be afflicted with
embonpoint rather than jewfls,
Thus the war added a new class
Of spies TO fiction and some say to
