TALK FOR YOUR TOWN

The reasons why some towns grow
is because there are men Of push and
energy in them who are not afraid to
spend their time and money to boom
their town. They erect good build
ings, organize stock companies and es-
itablish factories, secure railroads,
work for public improvements and
use every means in their power to
induce people to locate IN their city.
Wherever they 60 they tell Of the ad-
vantages of their city, they write

CATTLE.--Market conditions are
not of as satisfying a start as the
previous week and some price con-
cessions have been conceded to the
buyers as the result Of fairly gener-
GUS receipts of natives, also due to the
fact Of competition of Texas grass
steers. Considerable irregularitywas
manifest, however, but in most cases
90 cents would cover the loss since
last week, though on some of the light
fieshed cows and mixed stuff fully
dollar decline has been forced. The
market otherwise is practically steady

been forced is nothing more than con-

The committee was headed by W.

reasons.
His opposition TO the league of ma.

ment, Knox is the biggest man on
the republican side in the senate,
but there is about him that idea
among the great masses of the com

COX AN ARDENT LOVER
OF ORCHESTRA MUSIC
Nominee Admits Ignorance OF Tesh-
nique But Says He Knows
Varietv He Iikes

Gov. James NJ. Cox. OF Ohio. Demo
cratic Presidential nominee, is lover
OF good music. particularly orchestra
music, although. in his own words,
he does not know a thing about 1t"
except that he knows what he likes.
Although unacauainted with the
technique OF music. Governor Cox has
a through appreciation OF its value in
the home and the community. His
newspapers always have given full
publicity to musical matters, and the
maintenance of a progressive musics'
department in them has been one of
the things upon which he has insist
ed.
In this way he has been able to
give particularly practical assistance
to the music movement in his home
city OF Dayton.
This movement has been OF valu-
able proportions. In addition to a
winter. Dayton has q civic music
league. which presents a very fine
course OF concerts at a minimum of
cost. The success OF these ventures
Is in large part due to the support OF
the press. Governor Cox's local paper
also gives large space to the presenta-
tion OF news OF the local conservator-
les and schools
Governor Cox is in favor Of all
phases of the characterization OF mu-
sic
"Encourascment OF archestrss.
bands. choruses. etc, should be a mu-
nicipal tendency" he says. THE cui-
tural effects OF music are extremely
desirable. particularly If the music be
OF the sort to stir the best emotions"
