NEXT BAND CONCERT MAY
BE LAST SAYS HAMMOCK
Manager and Members of Organization
Plan to Disband Unless Better Sup
port is Given.

The people of American Falls are to
have one more opportunity to show
their loyalty to their twenty-piece con
cert band, and in case they fail to re-
spond will have to celebrate in the
future with outside music according
to the announcement of the band men,
They plan to disband after April "a
the date of their next concert, in case
they are greeted with as small an
audience as the last two concerts have
entertained.
The band needs more money, the
members say, and to continue without
either money or public support is con-
sidered a waste of time and money
American Falls has been placed on the
map in band circles by the untiring
work of an able director and manager.
and the loyalty of the members of the
organization who have practiced regu-
larly for many months. Now at the
beginning of a season Of unusual
activity the needed support seems
lacking. So noticeable has this lack
of support become that the organiza-
tion plans to give one more concert to
test the loyalty of its supporters and
in case they fail to respond. disband-
ing will follow.
The concert will be given in the
Auditorium Tuesday, April "a 1t will
contain the most varied program that
the band has ever given, according to
Manager Hammock. Several selec-
tions will be played by instrumental
quartettes, trios and soloists, besides
the special selections with all the 20
pieces.
1t is thought. that the warmer wealth
er and new accommodations afforded
by the Auditorium will attract many
more people than attended the last
concert in the Odeon month ago.
With new opera chairs, sufficient heat
and a varied attractive program the
band men feel that there should be a
large crowd at the performance. Seats
will be sold at popular prices. Child
rem will be admitted for % cents {;
adults for 35 and so cents.

STARS AND STRIPES CALL SIX.

Six men have left American Falls
within the last two weeks to take
their places in the first line of the ma
tions defenders. Three of them chose
the navy and by now are parading
the deck Of some man-o-war in APPROX
ed sea dog fashion. The other three
entered the army and were ordered to
Fort Douglas, Utah. for assignment to
their regiments.
Those who enlisted and the branch
of the service they entered are Ben
Schwarz, Simon Schwarz and Thomas
Palmer, navy; and Ben Joslin, Charley
Crowder and Amos Pearson, the army.
Ben Joslin was the first to enlist
from American Falls. Charley Grow
der is soon to join the army post at
Fort Douglas with the other two army
recruits and the Schwarz boys have
left for the navy. Ben went direct to
Bremerton, Washington, for assign
ment and his brother, Simon, was sent
to the naval training school at San
Francisco where he will take six
months instruction before entering the
active service.

VETERAN OF CONFEDERATE
ARMY WOULD JOIN NAVY

Little Rock, Arkansas, April IL
Another gratifying example of loyal
ty was demonstrated at the u S. navy
recruiting office, Little Rock, Arkansas
when ]. L. Leigh of 1911 West Second
street applied for enlistment in the
U. S. navy.
Mr.. Leigh requested that he be en-
listed at once and sent to the largest
battleship afloat for service on that
vessel, and he was greatly disappoint-
ed when informed by the recruiting Of
ficer that he exceeded the required age
limit by forty some odd years. he be-
ing sixty-nine years of age.
Mr.. Leigh is a warrior of experience,
having enlisted in the Confederate
army at the age of thirteen and hav-
ing served for four years, which ended
in April. 1865, under General Lee, at
Appomattox.
1t is most gratifying, in these times
of need to find such loyal spirit in the
Boys of 1861" and such an example
as shown by our worthy veteran, Mr.
Leigh, will no doubt find a like re-
sponse by the Boys of 1917"

CROP PROSPECTS BEST IN YEARS.
County Agent and Farmers Agree that
Outlook for BOuntiful Crops Has
Seldom Been Equaled.

Crop prospects for the coming year
are decidedly bright according to many
of the leading farmers of the county
and County Agent Kjosness. Grain
in some sections is slightly frosted and
a little has been winter killed but
compared to former years the amount
is very small.
While a definite survey of the coun-
ty acreage in crop has not yet been
made it is believed by local men that
the amount is above normal as has al
ways been the case due to the growth
of agriculture in the county.
Bob O'Neil and Louis Behrens agree
that the prospects are the best that
they have seen since coming to Pow
er county and predict record yield
this year provided favorable weather
follows. The wheat on Sunbeam is
slightly frosted but will pull through.
While there has been considerable
question heretofore about the condi-
tion of the winter wheat that specula-
tion has almost completely vanished
with the advent of the warmer wealth
er.
