plause, "Strut Miss Lizzie"

The task of building up and tutoring
musical organization to the standard of
proficiency demonstrated by the M. S. P.
Concert Band is no sinecure. 1t requires
many hours of industrious practice and
incessant drill by the individual members
and a thorough knowledge of music, COM
hined with untiring patience and pro-
digious capacity for hard work from the
director. Prof Reithketzer and his musi-
cal aggregation are heartily thanked for
the splendid program; for the many little
polishes of technique so delightful to
music devotees. Acknowledgement and
thanks for official cooperation, before anil
during the concert, and for the substantial
repast furnished after its completion is
also rendered.

that he would give a million dollars to
have Charles Schwab's smile. This
prompts the editor of the Fairmont Sentinel
to draw the conclusion that if smile can
be worth million dollars to Schwab and
a quarter of million for Douglas Fair
