u. s. NAVAL BAND
WITH TRUCK TOUR
Caravan of Trucks win Reach Minot
O. Evening Of Sept. and Win Re.
main Here All Day Sent. 2.

. Riding in the three front trucks OF
the National Motor Truck Develop
ment Tour, which is due in Minot on
Sept. l, will be the United States Nav
al Band, which is making the entire
trip of 5000 miles with the caravan
Of trucks through the states Of ILL
nois, Iowa, North and South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. The boys in
the Naval Band form one Of the snap
piest organizations that the Navy ever
produced. They will be under tho
command Of Lieut.. Wilson. who will
look after the comforts of the boys
and 1t the same time do recruiting in
the states through which the tour
travels. Everybody with musical
training wanted to get into this band
when Lieut.. Wilson announced that
he had few vacancies in the original
band to fill. In asking the govern
ment for the band the National Assoc
iation Of Motor Truck Sales Managers
felt that because Of the wide appeal Of
the Truck Tour the government would
be especially fsvorably inclined to
letting the boys 60 along, and this
proved TO be true. It was no doubt
felt that anything that would improve
the farm yield would be of direct ben
eft to the entire nation in this day Of
high prices and scarcity of food.
The truck manufacturers realize
that the farmer has to adopt intensive
methods of getting his produce plant
ed cultivated and to the market IN the
shortest period, even in the face Of the
farm labor shortage. 1t is for the
sole purpose of demonstrating to the
farmer the practicability of the motor
truck in transportation that this tour
was organized.
The trucks in the caravan will be
equipped with different kinds of farm
bodies. The local committee will Sc
lect some demonstration hauling by
motor truck and an accurate account
of all expenses, such as gasoline, oil,
depreciation, ETC., the size of the load,
the weight, road conditions-all will be
kept. Comparison then will be made
with horse-drawn vehicles.
Mr.. A. r. Kroh, practical farmer
for fifteen years, and close student
of the motorization Of the farm, will
make talks to the agriculturists, take
care of various demonstration hauls
under the direction Of the local COM
mittee and also show the farmers the
feasibility of the power take-off on the
motor truck when the stationary farm
power plant is temporarily out of COM
mission.
The local committee will make pro-
vision for the feeding Of about sixty
people that will be in the caravan,
these being the officials of the tour,
the factory representatives, the driv-
ers Of the trucks, newspaper and mag
azine representatives and also men
from the farm journals who are anx-
ious to see of what advantage the
truck may be to the farmer.

Music and Thinking.

About 1000 A. d. monk In an
Italian monastery had been thinking
about the long, laborious task of train
ing singers for the church service. Ten
years were required for a singer TIC
memorize words and music of the va
rious chants and hymns used! There
was no system for learning new
tune independent of the words.
And while he was thinking he heard
his choirboys practicing one Of their
lessons, hymn that rose in pitch with
the first syllable of each successive
line, just as the scale series was
formed.
Thought flashed!
And the result Of his thinking was
the use of the syllables ut Changed
to do later, re, mi, ia, sol, la, 81 TO
facilitate scale leafning. The imme'
date result was that GuidO's choirbOys
learned all their tunes-and could take
new Ones-in six months as against
ten years in the old way.
And the indirect result Is that boys
and girls in the schO ! of this country
learn the scales by T.. lrocess similar
to that thought out by monk in Italy
nearly 1000 years ago.

FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name in Book Published
In 1740, but Were Smoked Be-
fore That Time.

The earliest known mention OF
cigars Is In a book published in 174O
under the title of "Distresses and
Adventures Of John Cockburn." 1t APP
pears that Cockburn was cast on des-
ert island in the Bay of Honduras,
from which he swan to the mainland.
and thence travelled afoot to Porto
Bello, a distance of 1900 miles. Here
he met some friars who gave him
some "seegars" to smoke. "These,"
he says, "are some leaves Of tobacco
rolled up In some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco itself"
Though this is the earliest date at
which cigars appear to be mentioned
nv that name, so far back as 1883
two soldiers sent by Columbus to ex-
plore Cuba told their companions on
their return how the natives carried
In their mouths a lighted firebrand
made from the leaves of certain
herb, rolled up in maize leaves. The
description of an Indian method or
smoking, given by Lionel Wafer, IN
his "Travels in the Isthmus or
Darien," In 1899, shows that they
then smoked cigars made just as we
make them now. The manufacture
and consumption Of cigars in northern
Europe only dates from the close OF
the seventeenth century.
