MILLION DOLLAR
BAND PLEASES
However, Illness And
Rush Tend To Mar
Program

Late arrival. too much rush. and
indispotion on the part of the solo
cornetist combined to mar somewhat
the concert of Harold Bachman's Mil
hon Dollar American Legion band,
which gave concert under the au-
spices of the local Legion post in the
High school auditorium Friday night.
The band demonstrated it could NAV
first class selections in a first class
manner, comparing favorably with
the best concert bands of the conn
try, however, and thoroughly pleas.
ed its hearers for nearly an hour and
a half.
The band, coming from LAGRANGE.
did not reach the city until 1925 D.
M, whereas the concert was an
nounced for o'clock. The men had
to rush through supper and hurry
to the concert hall, where the pro-
gram got under way at about $50.
The attendance was far below what it
should have been, only about $50
persons being present. These rep
resented, for the most part, the
known lovers of good music of the
community.
The conductor of the band an
nounced that Robert Bruce, leading
cornetist, had been taken suddenly
i'll on arrival in the city and was un-
able to play his scheduled solos, al
though sticking through" the pro-
gram as member of the band. Be-
cause of the scheduled Legion dance
at 10 o'clock, at which members of
the band were to play other num-
bers were cut from the program
The concert opened with the over
ture, -4'Il Quarry" and closed with
''The Star Spangled Banner" A num-
Der not on the program which re-
placed a cancelled number, was an
adoption of "Dixie," the themes be-
ing handled as an evolution from a
weird chanting tune, through ~
time, waltz and other forms to the
form as we know it. This section
was repeatedly applauded.
Luigini's Egyptian Ballet and the
Sextette from Lucia were both omit
ted, although on the program, dis
appointing a number of hearers. Two
highly appreciated features were a
violin solo by Erling Sodahl, the
bands kettle drummer, and the vocal
solo by Walter Kelley, red-headed
sweet-voiced soprano.

-iyer 3ust east Of the yovr OF over
trcok on the line ts5wscn Love and
Carter counties
There IS great rock-ribbsd uphf.
that begins at the foot OF the Ar
buckle mountains and runs in south
eastward course near Lone Grove and
On 10 Red River.
Where this uplift or gigantic ridge
has been divided by the pressure Of
the waters in Anadarko river there
IS on one side OF this stream a
mountain Of solid rock that rises
this mountain Of natures masonry
is found on the opposite side OF the
river. When these TWO mountains
are connected with cement a mann
moth dam will have been constructed.
Extending TO the north Of this gap
are two great ridges probably $50 feet
high on both sides of the stream If
the full use of this site were taken
advantage Of a lake could be built
that would be $50 feet deep and
about a half mile in width and
would be probably ten miles in length.
This seems like mammoth prop
osition but IL we had been accustom-
ed TO seeing the great dams in the
northwestern portion of the United
States where river water is backed
up for a distance OF so miles then this
proposition would not seem so un-
wieldly and would not be considered
impracticable because it is so large
an undertaking.
The immensity of the proposition
is also relieved in the knowledge
that dam can be built to any
height desired A l0-foot dam would
impound a certain volume of water, a
2O-foot dam would make a large lake
and a 40-foot dam would create a
huge volume of water.

The coffee plant is a shrub which,
under cultivation, grows from to :
feet high. In it's wild state it grows
three or four times as high as in its
cultivated state. The dwarfing OF the
plant increases the crop and facili-
tates picking The leaves are Of a fresh
green color; the flowers are white and
have an odor strongly resembling jas
mine.
The green eofqee berry Of oom-
merce is nothing more nor less than
the seed Of the coffee cherry These
'c.1erries turn crimson on ripening.
They are then picked. the pulp -
taken off by machinery, and the two
husks which lie between the pulp and
the seeds themselves are removed.
The coffee has to be thoroughly dried
before the husks can be taken off,
and on many plantations there are
whole acres Of concrete floors for this
drying process.
When run through the machinery
for the removal of the husks, these
latter are blown away Ike chaf, and
the coffee grains are run over sieves
so arranged as to grade them and bag
them according to size, ready to be
shipped to the worlds markets"

building can be done without in

practical for those pe>cle TO take
an interest in the proposition. The
project is large enough TO justify the
hope that 1t would interest people
living as far away as Fort Worth
or Oklahoma City. Such a lake would
make a wonderful place TO enjoy
boating fishing. swimming, duck
shooting and camping.
Such a project as has been pro-
posed cannot be carried out without
great labor. There are many trees
on the proposed lake site that il
would be desirable TO remove. But the
fine timber along the river ought tc
pay for its removal. In order to make
it accessible it would be necessary &c
