With perfect smoothness and in unison, the Junior symphony orches- tra gave their first annual concert last night in the Masonic Temple be- fore an enthusiastic audience. Con unuous applause evidenced the sin cere appreciation of the audience for the efforts of the young musicians, who attained instant recognition for their splendid readitions of some of the most difficult numbers.
 Giovanni E. Conterno directed this band of musicians and selected as the soloists for the evening, Miss Wilma Feketa, vlolinist, Frederick Dart, pianist. and George Jennings, ceIlist accompan nied by Frederick Dart
 The selection from the opera,
 IL Ecla1r, was perhaps given the warmeSt reception as this little or Ganizaton rendered this number like professionals.

BENEFIT FOR THE
FAIRGROUNDS
WOMAN'S COUNCIL TO
STAGE BIG DANCE
To be Held at the YMCA Satur-
day, April 3Oth@--Pr0ceeds
to go Towards Equipping
Play Grounds.

In order to raise funds with
which to equip several play grounds
in the city with apparatus for the
"kiddies" of Washburn the Woman's
Council of this city are making ar
rangements to stage monster dance
at the YMCA on Saturday evening,
April 30th, to which everyone is in
vited to attend and for which every
one should purchase ticket.
Two years ago the Woman's Coun-
Gil established the first Fairgrounds
at the site of the Washburn Hotel
property, and the f GLOWING ysar an
other was established at the Garfield
school grounds and both of these
places were much frequented by the
children Of the city.
The Fairgrounds at the Washburn
Hotel property will have to be
abandoned on account of buildings
which have been erected there and
it is now the plan of the Woman's
Council to establish these play
grounds at all of the school yards of
the city so that they will accommodate
the greatest number of the children.
To equip these Fairgrounds with
swings, giant strides, travelling rings,
and other equipment entails quite an
expense bu the ladies feel that the
people Of the city will support them
in their undertaking and that the
dance will prove to be monster
success.
The ladies want every organiza-
ton, every lisboring man and every
business man to join with them.
The Fairgrounds help to entertain
the children and provide clean
amusement for them.

ORGANIZE A
BALL TEAM
AGGREGATION TO
REPRESENT WASHBURN
To be Known as X. P. Wash
burn Team and Will Have
Backing of Legion Band and
Other Organizations.

Washburn is to have strong base
ball team to represent this city on
the diamond this season and an or
ganization has been perfected which
will have the backing of lall local or
CARNATIONS, including the Washburn
Legion Band.
AS meetings held during the past
week plans were made for raising
funds and these plans include two
dances to be given. The first will
be given at the Garden Hall on Fri
day evening, April 22nd, and at a
later date a dance will be given at
Che YMCA to raise money to pur-
chase suits and other equipment,
The team will sail under the name
of K-P-Washburn and the boys
have made no mistake in selecting
for their manager Hugh Ross, veter-
an of the Diamond, who knows the
game from start to finish and who
knows what a team should be.
The Washburn Legion Band, re-
Gently organized, will back up the
team and will furnish music for the
games as we'll as the dances.
Washburn has always been noted
for having team which is able to
defend the honors of the city on the
base ball diamond and the team this
season will hold up the reputation in
base ball circles.
The people generally should sup
port the organization.
