ro2ressed by Slow Stages.

Thirty years ago the men of Hart shay, hamlet of Derbyshire, England, were accustomed 10 meet at bridge on the edge of the town, where they would read the papers and discuss events. This was all right in summer time, but in the winter it was differ ent and they would occasionally ad- journ to sheltered spot under the bridge. From this they moved into g vacated plgsty and later annexed an- other plgsty. This rude building was improved by their own efforts until 1t was a fairly comfortable place. From this humble origin there is now a rather pretentious library, with the best papers and magazines and a stock of good books.

The Wonders Of kmSrica
OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL.
By T. T. MAxEY

IT is but fitting that Amertca--ths
! greatest nation In all the world
should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty OF
our national capitol building at Wash.
ington is most impressive and, for capk-
tol purposes, 1t is said to sJIpass
every other building ia the world.
The base of this immense, syD-
metrically Shaped and imposing edtficp
rests on level plateau, at an eFeva-
ton Of % feet above the historic Po-
tomac river. The building faces thS
east and Is about one mile distant
from-the White House. The corner
stone OF the original structure, which
comprises the central portion Of the
present building and is Of Virgins
sandstone, was laid by President Wash
mgton on September IS, 1Te3--12S
years ago. Later, when ii became
necessary TO enlarge the building, two
additions or wings. of Massa chusetts
marble, were added President Fill
more laid the corner stone; Daniea
Webster was the orator. These wings
were burned by. the British In 1914, but
were restored The original building
was completed In 1927.
The present structure is T51 feet
hong and $50 wide. Ii covers three
and one-nalf acres. The central por-
ton Is surmoupted by one OF the most
graceful, pleasfngly shaped ana mas
sive domes In the world. This dome fR
2s7 feet high. It was completed In
1855. 1t weighs more than 100000
pounds and is topped by a statue OF

THEY LIKE OUR BAND
l.. c. Band Meeting With Great Sue
cess Everywhere.

The following newspaper com,
ments show what success is meeting
the Luther College Concert Baud
on it's tour.
The Granite Falls Journal, Granite
Falls, Mimi, June "a, 1921:-"There
are ffty-four in the band, who Dire
under the direction of Prof. Carlo A.
Sperati, a very efficient, highly tall
ented musician. One had but to lis
ten few minutes to the harmoni-
Gus, tuneful, wonderful melody OF
their opening number, to know that
the leader was a music wizard, and
the musicians themselves no less.
>"He was a born leader. With no
undue effort, he kept perfect CON
troll of the players who obeyed his
slightest gesture. Thoroughly inn
bued with the spirit and theme of
every number played, he had trained
the players to bring out that mean
ing so understandingly that the au-
dience was moved with them as they
played sadly or .joyously, wierdly or
happily, or the martial music of a
war theme, in which one could fancy
hearing the roar Of war itself.
Bringing out at times such volume
of melody as seemed impossible, at
others playing the most delicate
strains, with equal accuracy and
beauty. always with tie snap and
precision of the highly trainedf anti
gifted musician. y
1.-THE players were mostly only
young boys, a clean looking, nice be-
having set of boys, credit to the
Institution they represent, to them
selves and to their leader. A won
derful set of boys, say We! Apd
here's hoping they come again"
The Starbuck Times, Starbuck,
Mimi, June "a, 1921:-"The immedi-
ate response to the directors baton
was remarkable. The softness of
tone to- which the entire bard was
reduced and then the gradual rise
TO crescendo showed that the young
proteges of Prof. Sperati must have
gone through a severe drilling to get
1T to such fineness.
"The entire audience was pleased
beyond conception and we feel Ger
tain that if they were TO return to
Starbuck again, they would be as
sured just as great and enthusiastic
an audience"
The Fairfax Standard, Fairfax,
Mimi, June %, 1921:-"The concerts
by the Luther College Concert Band
at Fort Ridgeley and Fairfax Sun,
day afternoon and evening held UNI
der the auspices of the Norwegian
Lutheran Churches in Fairfax and
surrounding townships, were d sue
cess as the greatest musical treat
ever given this section of Minnesota
and in point of attendance.
Thousands had assembled to hear
the famous organization and none
were disappointed in the musical
treat given them"

The BoIshevik Craze

Strike and the world strikes with
you, work and you work alone; our
souls are ablaze with a bolshevik
craze, the widest that ever was
known. .Groan and thereTl be a
chorus, smile and you make no hit;
for we've grown long hair and
we preach despair and show you a
daily fit. Spend and the gang will
cheer you, save and you have no
friend; for we throw our bucks to
the birds and ducks and borrow from
all who'll lend. Knock and you'll be
winner, boost and you'll be a
frost; for the old sane ways Of the
pre-war days are now from the pro-
gram lost. Strike and the world
strikes with you, work and you work
alone, for we'd rather yell and lraise
blue hell than strive for an honest
bone Rant and you are a leader,
toll and you are nut; twas a bitter
day when We pulled sway from the
old-time work-day rut. Wait and
there'll 30 blowua, watch and
you'll see & 3Iamp; and the lads and
