MUCH INTEREST HAS I
: BEEN AROUSED OVER
BAND/AllNoUNCEMEN1
Conductor Bachman and His
Million Dollar Band Prom I
Uses to Draw Big Crowd -,

Great interest has been attached
to the announcement that Harold
Bachman and his Million Dollar band
are to play in Bemidji this summer;
Perhaps there has never BEEN q
musical organization which became so
widely and favorably known. in as
short time as has this organization
which is scheduledto appear here on
July %, under thes auspices of the
Ralph Oracle post of the American
Legion. - ~
Practically unheard of three years
ago, Mr.. Bachman, through his splen-
did work in the army and because OF
the fine impression made by his band
on its eight month tour of the central
states last season, has become recog-
nized as one of the leading band
masters and, his band is one of the
really fine bands Of the United States.
This is testified to by the splendid list
of engagements which the Million
Dollar band will play during the
1920 season. This includes, the North
Dakota state fair, the Wisconsin state
fair, the Minnesota state fair, Ten
nessee state fair, Cotton Exposition
at Waco, Texas, and other large ex-'
Among the well known members Of
the band who have been connected
with it from it's beginning, Mr.. Bach
man announces Robert Bruce, the In
dian cornetist, and James E. Son, the
march writer, as special features.
Earring Sodahl of Duluth will be
featured as a violin soloist and Gray
don Lower of MINER, ILL.,, as baritone
soloist and the band will also carry a
soprano soloist this year..
The greatest honor that could have
been conferred upon returned SOL
dier's band was given to Harold Bach,
mans Million Dollar Band last fall
when it was chosen from among all
the hundreds of returned soldier
bands to play at the national conven-
ton of the American Legion in MINI
neapolis on Nocember 10, II and
~ last. This was the only band in
the convention hall and its music
officially opened and closed each of
the sessions of that historic gather
ing. i,
Harold Bachman, director OF the
band, has had career which. fits
him admirably for the position ne now
holds as director Of big concert
band. After graduating from col
lege where he specialized in music for
period of eight years., he played
for several seasons on the road WITH
different concert organizations,
among which was the famous Bo-
humir Kryl Concert Band Of Chi
cago. - ,.
Between seasons he studied his
chosen instrument, the cornet, with
H. A. Vandercook, of Chicago, and
Mr.. Vande1cook counts Director
Bachman as one Of his most success
full pupils, using, his name on all his
advertisements for, his cornet school,
With this experience Mr.. Bachman
was we'll qualified to make name for
himself as director,of an army band
in which capacity he served for about
two years before taking his own band
on the road to enter into the COM
mercial band business.

large Cunard ocean liners sunk by en-
enly submarines during the war are
to be perpetuated in new vessels now
under construction, it is announced by
the Cunard company. The company

ranging from $40 TO 900 feet in
length. They will have spacious ac-
commodations for passengers, and
will also be able to carry large guam
titles of cargo.
There are four ships of the 6O0-foot

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK
Influenza Has Laid Its Hand Lightly
on Florida

Jacksonville, Feb. 13.-A total of
1880 cases of influenza. with Is deaths
and &c cases of pneumonia, with Is
deaths, were reported to the vital sta
tistics department of the State Board
of Health during the week ending
Feb. IL. Since influenza assumed
epidemic proportions in Florida, there
has been a total of 3749 cases. ac-
co1ding to board of health records,
with 80 deaths from the disease.
Pneumonia cases totaled 202 dur
ing the same period with 80 Deaths
New cases reported to the board for
the "a hours ending at noon Feb. IL
were 174, against 287 for the previous
period, showing the disease is still
prevalent in Florida in epidemic pro-
portions.
However, the fact that the death
rate, contrary to the usual character
OF epidemics, continues low and is nc
higher at the end of the third week
than at the end of the first two is con-
sidered decidedly optimistic by DIR
Ralph N. Greene. state health officer
DIR. Greene is still stressing the
necessity of the precautionary meas
ures urged through articles to the
press at the beginning of the epi.
