IEAyENWORTH BAND GOES OUT
OF EXISTENCE

Monday evening | came to the band
rehearsal as usual at 1880; the band
members came as usual, too, from
8:15 until $50. When l thot had
players enough to commence rehear-
sal asked them to take their seats,
and they took them in automobiles
and started social session, waiting
for me to come out and beg them to
come in, as usual. But instead | got
into my old Ford and went home,
where | intend to stay, as far as
band rehearsals are concerned. There
are several members who have or
dered instruction books and if they
still wish them they can notify me
and l will get them. If they ever
expect to play in a band they will
need them. On Monday evening at
1880 o'clock, November 3rd, I will be
at the City hall to meet all members
of the present band who wish to come,
and | will examine them in music.
Those who pass the examination and
pay up all their dues will be eligible
to membership. This does not apply
to those who have kept their dues
paid up.
Now to make it plain to everybody,
I have tried to have band for our
home town that would be credit to
it, in spite of all the kicks, and with
out help or compensation, but ] give
it up, I am beaten right. When the
town will see the band go to Wenat-
chez and play for thousands of peo-
pie from all over the state, and other
states, for three days, without the
vestige of a uniform, and the men,
bers of the band have to be forced,
(that is, as far as I had the power to
force them) to come to rehearsal, and
make all kinds of excuses for not be-
ing there; and when they do come
leave their music books, stands, etc,
at home; come without reeds or pads
on their instruments, and with valves
all stuck by lying around out of use,
and get peeved when I try to get
them in tune, and are always want
ing to come late and go home early,
and don't practice enough at home to
know whether their instruments will
make noise OF not when they get
to the band room, and in many other
ways show lack of interest, I give it
up.
All of you who wish to play should
get your instruction books and get
busy as we will determine who is who
November 3rd. 1t will suit me just
as well, and better, if I am the only
one that attends this meeting
Hoping that everybody will under
stand what I have been up against, I
hope to remain
Yours very truly,

DIED

Mrs. Mary A. Williams was born
in Houghton Mich, Died at her home
at Chiwaukum, Aug. 7, 1919.
Funeral services were held in the
M. E. church of Leavenworth, direc-
ted by Mrs. D. C. Town, assisted by
Mr.. A. J. Templeton, Saturday after
noon.
She was married to W. w. Thomp-
son in 1887. She with her family
moved to Leavenworth in 1896 and
has since resided in this state. She
was raised in a Christian home and
lived in that faith and thus she met
her savior, fully trusting in his saving
grace.
To this union two children were
born, a daughter, Mrs. Lillian Potter
of Blain Idaho, and son, Will resid-
ing here. She leaves to mourn her
departure a devoted husband, two
children, two sisters, one in Canada
and one in Vermont, besides a host of
friends who extend their profound
sympathy in this sad hour. A loving
wife, mother and sister has just pre-
coded them to the heavenly land.
In memory of mother, by S. E.
Haskell.
crest now dear mother, sweetly rest
In the sure refuge of the blest;
Their grief and sufferings are forgot,
And worldly care, it wearies not.
Christ doth a careful vigil keep
Der those who in his covert sleep;
Rest mother, rest beneath his care.
No harm shall ever touch thee there.
Rest thee; thy work is all well done,
The saviour hath thy victories won,
And from the grave will ransom thee,
To live again eternally.
Rest now in hope of life complete,
When all the faithful Christ will meet.
And in his kingdom ever share
It's glories and it's beauties rare" ***

the college announces a new step, which
will connect the Inn with the aduca
tional work of the institution through

not intended to displace the old guests.
but is an evidence Of the Intention Of
the college TO operate tn plant to tts

part of the summer season an element

property with the educational work OF

Bread Loaf is admirably situated for
a summer school and with the prestige
