Brass Band For Salvation Army.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24.-Every city
and town in the Southern States in
which a branch of the Salvation
Army is located is to have at an
early date a highly traineI, thor
oughly equipped, full-fledged brass
band.
The announcement that each corps
of Salvation Army in the Southern
territory has been authorized to or
ganize and equip it's own band has
Crawford of Atlanta, commander OF
the Southern department of the Sal
vation Army.
The movement already has been
put under way with the organization
in Atlanta of a band consisting of
twenty-five pieces, the first to be or
ganized by the Salvation Army in
any city in the South. The band is
under the direction of Capt. A. B.
Nicol and received the highest praise
on the occasion of its first public APP
pearance a few days ago.
The Salvation Army is firm be-
lever in music and the great interest
manifested by the public in each ap-
pearance of it's bands in the various
cities in other sections of the coun-
try prompted the decision to equip
each corps in the Southern cities and
towns with its own musical organiza-
ton. s~HsN5Sl
Salvation Army leaders state spe-
cifically that these bands are not to
be money-making organizations-the
Salvation Army gets it's home service
funds by direct annua appeal to the
public, the second OF which is to
take place May 10 to 20-but the
are designed solely for the enter
tainment of the public and to assist
the Salvation Army in its work OF
ministering to the needy.
The bands to be organized IN the
various cities and towns OF the
South will be available for all ne
Iigious gatherings or patriotic cele-
brations or parades and will gladly
take part in any of these public func-
tions when requested to do so. The
bands will be composed entirely OF
| local talent and will be trained and
equipped by the local organization
of the Salvation Army. !

We Trim Martinsburg Properly

In one of the fastest and most close
y contested games Of basketball ever
played here the Shepherdstown auint
last night defeated the crack Y. Nj. c.
A: team Of Martinsburg by the score
OF 80 to 33. At the cid OF the first
half the score was p to IS in favor
OF Shepherdstown, principally due TO
the remarkable shooting OF goals by
Legge. In the second half the visitors
made a desperate effort and were
especially clever in passing, and when
the whistle blew the tie was a score
with the audience on the verge of
nervous prostration. Five minutes
more play was ordered. Even the
plucky Martinsburgers could not stem
the lively Mecklenburgers, and in that
i've minutes we shot three goals, while
the visitors got none. The score was
SO to 80 in our favor and Shepherds
town was wildly happy.
ms victory, coming on top of the
awful lambasting that Shepherd Col
lege administered to Martinsburp
High School, on Monday, Is glory
enough for one week.
