EXCELLENT CONCERT At
SANDSTONE

The concerts given by Harold
Bachman's Million Dollar Band
at Sandstone Monday afternoon
and evening were excellent to
say the least. Every member Of
the band is a professional musi-
clan and all the selections were
rendered in an artistic manner.
The crowd which attended the
afternoon concert was not very
large but il is estimated that
about 1000 people heard the
evening concert--people coming
from all corners of the county. A
large delegation was there from
as far away as Pine City and II
looked like almost half Of the po
pulace Of Askov had turned out
to the evening concert.
The two best numbers on thu
evening program were perhaps
Rossini's overture, William Tell
and Louis Boyer's overture. Ari
ane. These heavy numbers wer
beautifully and artistically rend

Bachman. here showing his abili

given.

netist is great and he dclighte

Gus solos.
Suffice to say that Sandston
did itself proud in securing thi
wonderful organizatiop-whicl
ranks with the best-for a day
engagement.

from the white plague-but it
appears that his time had come.
He spent two years in the sana-
torium at Brush. Col. and after
that, two years in a sanatorium
in California--returning home in
April when it was apparent that
nothing could be done to save
his life and when he was failing
rapidly.
The end came peacefully Sat-
urday forenoon at 10 o'clock
when he was surrounded by his
father, Jens Krag, his brother.
Owe, and two sisters Mrs. Bent
Jorgensen and Mrs. Magnus Han
sen.
Funeral services were held in
the local Danish Lutheran church
Monday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. S. d. Rodolm, and large
concourse of friends followed the
remains to their last resting place
in the local cemetery. The SYM
pathy of the community is ex-
tended to the bereaved ones.

THE LAND OF 'PRETTY SOON"

know Of land where the streets are paved
With the things meant to achieve;
1t is walled with the money meant to have saved
And the pleasures for which grieve
The kind words unspoken the promises broken,
And many a coveted boon
Are stored away in that land somewhere
The land of Pretty Soon
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust;
And Oh! this place, while it seems near,
Is farther away than the moon
Though purpose is fair. yet get there
The land Of Pretty soon.
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks.
And the ships that have sailed for it's shining strand
Bear skeletons their decks
1t is farther at than it was at dawn.
And farther at night than at noon;
Oh let us beware of that land down there
The land Of Pretty Soon'

Statement BY Bureau

lows:
at is quite true that the question Of
when we shall have municipal street
cleaning is a matter of administrative
and financial expediency--h should not
he treated as matter OF political eX.
nod;ency, Most certainly the city should
not attempt to bite on more than II
can chew and should not take over
tb;s work any faster than the facili-
Nes and organization can be developed.
"Wbpn once the city actually car
ia. on tho work. and not simDly in
onects il. the responsibility will rest
directly on municipal officials without
other shoulders to shift 1t to. and there
must be an adequate organization to
render the service that will be de-
"Haying been told in the past that
clean streets could be expected only
under. municipal operation. which was
long denied us by the Legislature. the
citizen will quite naturally expect more
effective work when the city assumes
charge. The city must, therefore. plan
10 conduct this work in businesslike,
adequate and effective manner.
Now Is Time to Plan
"In order to give time for study
and Manning. the date of commence
mcnt Of municipal operation was set
ahead in the new charter to. January
I. 1921. However. prior to August !
bids may be requested for contract work
in order to form basis Of comparison
with municipal work. Before this step
is taken the existing specifications
should be closely scrutinized and, If
necessary, revised. TO provide for the
same type of service which It will be
planned to render under municipal Op-
sration. II will be necessary also to
make careful studies Of the entire sit
nation to guide the Council in making
its decision this coming fall. &.
"It is absolutely essential for the city
administration to know what plants and
equipment will be needed and how they
can be acquired what personnel will be
necessary: and what will be the re.
ouired capital outlay and yearly cost Of
operation Of the municipal organization.
These practical engineering studies
should determine. the extent 10 which
municipal operation can be applied. in
1921 to the street cleaning activities:
and TO the allied work Of ash refuse and
garbage collection and disposal.

A Suit of Ku Klux Uniform.

Mrs. w. j. Caldwell has just re
ceived from Mrs. Maria Caldwell
Head, of Santa Ana. California, the
uniform worn by her late husband
Capt. H. w. Head, when Grand Cy-
clops of den during reconstruction
days, just after the close of the War
between the States. When this noble
band of patriots had accomplished
the object which brought the organ
ization into existence (that of re-
establishing white supremacy in the
South) they were ordered to disband
and burn all uniforms, prescripts,
etc.
1t was a death penalty for any one
to be found in possession of either.
Capt. Head risked the danger, and
preserved his by keeping them buried
for many years. 1t now becomes the
honor and pleasure of Leonidas Polk
Chapter, U. d. c., to be custodians Of
both the uniform and verbatim
printed copy of his prescript. Both
of these will be safely stored in the
safety vault at the courthouse.
This chapter prizes these remind
ers of as true and brave, II not the
bravest band of men the world has
ever known. We prize them because
Captain Head was an Obion Coun-
tian-one among the first to volun-
teer for service in the War between
the States to fight for Justice and
right.
Therefore, we, as a chapter, as
sure Capt. Heads loved ones In far
away California that we will guard
them Just as carefully in the coming
years as they have in the past.
