INSTRUMENTS
FOR ORCHESTRA
High School and Grammar School
Pupils Will Have an Opportunity
for Enrolment in TWO
Int sting Classes.

The high school orchestra during
the last several years has filled an
important place in school activities
and has made a fine record in music
circles. In order to maintain this
excellence it is necessary to have
pupils study band and orchestra in
struments in the grades and in the
grammar school. To provide such
instruction arrangements have been
made with Mr.. w. n. Bower to teach
a class of beginners in wind instru-
ments every Wednesday at 4 o'clock
in the music room in the basement
of the Washington school. There is
fee Of twenty-five cents for these
lessons. tg
! The pupils who were in the class
last year made splendid progress
under Mr.. Bowers instruction This
work will be continued for them in
the junior orchestra which will meet
Friday evening at 4 o'clock. There
is no fee for this rehearsal conducted
by Mr.. Bower or Mr.. Hayden.
Any pupil who has studied violin
or any wind instrument may enroll
in the Junior orchestra and attend
these rehearsals The music will be
furnished and there is no fee charged.
1t is hoped that these two classes
will create new interest in the study
of band and orchestra instruments
and that grade school orchestras will
result from this increased interest
among the children in the grades.

CAN YOU REMEMBER
WAY BACK WHEN
You Used to Hire Horse n Buggy
and Take Her Out Riding, and
When Sleighing Parties
Were Winters
is Sport.

! Horse and buggies are in the same
category with civil war heroes; there
are few of them left.
! But, can't you remember when the
neighbors used to lift their eyebrows
and smile knowingly when you drove
up in horse n buggy to take Susie
out riding.
Ask for horse n buggy now, and
you might as well seek the needle
in the haystack. Counting is done in
much more rapid style, and its ninety
horsepower now, instead of one as
it used to be few years ago.
1t really was mark of much re
spect in days gone by to hire horse
N buggy from any of the several
livery stables in Keokuk and then go
get the girl and drive out the avenue
and around Belknap boulevard.
Those were the days when the Keo-
kuk Bicycle club had a cinder path
around the boulevard, and when tree
planting along the road was con-
,sidered the height Of woman's folly.
| Two dollars was the most that was
ever charged for horse and buggy
for single evening, sometimes it
was less than that The horse used
ito be brought up to your house, or
you drove it proudly out of the livery
stable, and anxious to display a know
ledge of horses and familiarity with
driving hooked the lines around one
hand. and hung your foot over the
side.
If the horse was real good trav-
eler it used to be quite an event to
drive out as far as Mooar station and
turn around and come in the Plank
road. 1t may not have been the
finest road in the world, but<it could
be romantic, to say the least.
Small brothers and neighborhood
old men used to offer free advice in
the shape of kin you drive with one
ihand?" and then they'd boot or
ichuckle, depending on their advance
along the road towards the state of
old age.
Once in a while there were acct
dents from runaway horses, but gen.
orally speaking the one horsepower
courtship days were far less danger
,ous than the ninety horse power
Jones. People used to go buggy rid
ing at seven O'clock and by ten every
body was home, including the horse.
In the winter time sleighing par
tiles were the attraction de luxe,
rather than the dancing parties Of
today. A big bob sled hitched behind
two horses used to be the established
prelude to oyster stew and coffee and
cake at the home of someone in the
party. And it was possible then, too,
ito take her out riding, all bundled
up on a winters evening, in sleigh
drawn by fleet horse. Cold hands
were usually warmed by warmer
hands, or two pairs of cold ones were
Struggled together in a warm muff.
while the reins dropped idly over the
dash board, and the bells on the har-
ness tinkled and jingled sleepily as
the old horse dog-trotted down the
snow filed, moon lighted road.

VoIstead Off Ticket.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.]
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 11.-Rep-
resentative Andrew Volstead, father
of the prohibition law bearing that
name. was ruled off of the Minnesota
republican ticket for reelection to-
day by the state supreme court.
The court reversed the decision of
the lower court in the contest brought
by Volstead against Rev o. j. kvale,
winner of the primary election, in
which the lower court held that
Kvale had violated the corrupt prac-
tees act and declared Volstead the
nominee.
The supreme court declared va
cancy existed on the ticket for con-
gresham from the seventh district
as a result of the alleged corrupt
methods of Rev. Kvale, and another
primary may have to be held in that
district before the general election
on November 2, or an agreement
may be reached for both men to run
as Independent candidates.
The alleged illegal practices OF
which the Rev Kvale was accused
we're that in speeches he referred to
Volstead as an atheist"
At hearing by the lower court,
Volstead denied the accusation.

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA break
in retail food prices will be shown
in a price report covering the entire
country now being prepared by the
labor department, officials predicted
today. The report probably will be
issued late next week.
Wholesale prices have been de-
clining for three months. Prices paid
farmers declined 10 per cent in Au-
gust, according to the agriculture de-
partment, while livestock men got
2.3 per cent less. Commodity prices
also suffered declines during the past
two months, according to the federal
reserve board.
Raw materials are showing the de-
cline. In some materials, like crude
rubber and leather, prices are near
pre-war figures.
Unless spectators and middlemen
are reaping harvest of profits be-
tween the producer and consumer,
retail food prices must now begin to
follow the general decline of whole
sale and manufacturers quotations,
officials said here today.
