BANDMASTER HIRED
MUNICIPAL BAND ASSURED FOR
MADISON - EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE TODAY.

A. III. Kalkbrenner, of Lake City,
Mimi, is expected in the city today
to take charge of the band as in
%structor and master. This ends a
long endeavor on the part of band
promoters to get a stable band fof
Madison, and the authorization of
assistance from the funds of the city
makes it possible. Mr.. Kalkbrenner
shipped his household goods from
Lake City early in the week, and an
nounced that he would probably be
in Madison today. He is the man
from a number of applications, his
references being considered the best.
The Lake City Graphic-Republican
says: For several years since the
reorganization of local band affairs
re has been chosen by the city cOun-
ell to lead and instruct the band. In
spite of the apparent lack of material
and interest, he has succeeded in
building up a musical organization
which has been a credit to the city.

ing the summer months, under his
direction, and always attracted peo-
pie from the entire surrounding
country"
Under decision of the council it is
purposed to have the management of
the band on a basis similar to that
Of the public library. A board and
committee will be appointed to at
uenc to band matters and needs. The
master will have whole charge of the
management of the band. 1t is also
intended to have a junior band un-
der instruction from the ranks OF
which the main organization may be
recruited, making ii a permanent
and perpetual body. The number OF
players for the band is not yet deter,
mined, George Koch said this after
moor.
Besides the love of music as an in
centive it is intended to pay the mer
for each practice, and also to Offer
a c,nsideration for each public ap
pealance on the street. With the eff
fort of the bandmaster and the hell
of the city it is expected that there
will be a band upon which we car
rely. There is a large demand TO.
such an organization at the presen
time.

CANDIDATE WANTED
REPRESENTATIVE POSITION IN
LAKE COUNTY is WIDE
OPEN.

A situation has arisen in Lake
wherein an office, usually
eagerly sought, is without an aspir-
ing candidate, County Chairman II.
H. Holdridge said this morning. /.
A. Baldwin's term expires and he an
nounces that he will not be a candi-
for reelection. There has been
entry on the republican ticket for
the position up to now, and the time
for filing petitions for nomination
expires Saturday, April 81. In the
case of death or removal for other
of an already nominated can
didate the county committee may
supply a anne. But in case of no
any entering after the
close of the nominating period must
run independent of party and on
"stickers." So 1t looks as though
the office of one of the members of
the lower house of the legislature
from Lake county would go begging
unless some one took immediate and
energetic action.

MISS DAILY SPEAKS
DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION
SUBJECT BEFORE PUBLIC
FORUM AT MITCHELL.

Mitchell, April 24.-Miss Alice
Lorraine Daily. of the State Normal
school at Madison, was the speaker
at the public forum at the Congre-
gational church on Sunday evening.
her topic being, Democracy and Ed
ucation."
Miss DAILY reviewed the history of
America, paying an especially elo-
-quent tribute to the life and charaC
ter of Lincoln. In speaking of the
social problems of the past, she re-
ferred to slavery and to the treat
ment of the Indians. Both of these
questions might have been avoided if
the education of the past had laid
sufficient emphasis on the teachings
of brotherhood. Passing to social
and industrial conditions of the pres
ent day, Miss Daily described her ex-
]periences during an effort to secure
adequate pay for telephone workers
in the city of Boston.
Miss DAILY said that a great pro-
portion of children in America do not

many of them not beyond the fifth
grade. She said that sociology
should be taught not only in the high
schools, but in the grades as well,
and in the colleges. There is only
one college in America, Grinnell col
lege, which has a curse in applied
Christianity.
During the discussion which fol
lowed the address, the speaker vas
asked if woman suffrage would help
She replied that in the states where
women had the vote the conditions
as to child labor and the work oil
women were much better than in
those states which did not have
equal suffrage. The point having
been made that in many cases there
was a snobbish spirit in high schools
and that sometimes students were
deferred from going to the better col
leges on account of the undemocrati'
spirit which prevails, Miss DAILY wa
asked whether the adoption of a uni
form dress of high school girls would

 OF INTEREST TO ALL RED CROSS MEMBERS

Out of two hundred and fifty five executives in the fourteen division of fees of the American Red Cross, one hundred and fifty, or fifty nine per vass which has just been made. These figures apply only to those holding inn portant executive positions in Division offices and do not include chapter off, cials.
 It was further shown that fifty-siX percent of these executives are volun- teers, serving without remuneration. The Division form of organization has been in effect only since the appoint ment of the Red Cross War Council and was found necessary because of the tremendous growth of activities and operation of the Red Cross brot about by the war.
 The work of millions of Red Cross members is now directed by Division offices which are intermediates bet ween National Headquarters and the several thousand Red Cross chapters scattered throughout the United States and foreign countries. Prior to the esta hHshment of geographical divis- '~r1 he operation of the Red Cross was centralized at National Headquar- ters and the only women in the Head quarters organization were those in the Nursing Bureau and one who was member of the Central Committee. Since the appointment of the War Council this number has been increas- ed to twelve, and Miss Elizabeth H. Hoyt appointed Assistant to the Gen. real Manager. There is also a Wo- mans Advisory Committee of eleven members and Woman's Advisory Committee on Naval Auxiliaries to the War Council consisting of fifteen members. Recently there have been established about twenty-five insti- tutes of Home Service, which are train ing schools for Red Cross Home Serv. ice workers who will assist families of soldiers and sailors. There are two executive positions in each of these ! institutes and the number of men and women is practically equal. These have not been icluded in the above i figures.

Forest Supervisor w. G. Weigle re- turned on the Admiral Evans last ev- ening from Portland, Oregon, where he has been working in conjunction with the Oregon Forestry department for the past six weeks.
 MT. Weigle raided the Progressive Miner offices with a Colt revolver this morning, with wild light in his eyes tempered by big smile and demand ed the force to hold up" their hands. The reason for his ferocity was the typographical error in the paper in the passenger list of the Admiral Ev- ans, which announced "and wife" af- ter the honorable Supervisors name. He was soon pacified however and said he was mighty glad to get back to the Banana Belt, just the same.

PASSPORTS TO GO TRANCE ISSUED
 TO FEW WOMEN

Passport registrations of the State Department now restrict the number of American women permitted to go to France to those whose presence there is imperatively required by some relief agency recognized by the United States Government. The free lance feminine war worker is now a thing of the past. Government ofiici als having recognized that her pres ence in the war zone is an embarrass- ment. Passports are not issued to wives of Army officers to go to bel ligerent countries. In cases of organ izations other than the Red Cross, the organization in France desiring the services of persons in this country must satisfy the embassy at Paris that such devices are needed. The embas- sy will then notify the Department of State.
 Few Restrictions Early in War
 Great numbers of American women flocked to France early in the war The Government restrictions then were few, and little difficulty was put in the way of the woman who wantei l to do relief work. That feeling has grown in official circles that there are enough women in France to do all the unskilled relief work required, and the woman who now wishes to go must be thoroughly well qualified and actu- ally needed for the work she desires to do-Official Bulletin.
