The Blackduck band went to Kell1-
her the Fourth to help the Kelliher
people make their celebration a sue
cess and judging from the applause
given our tboys and the much praise
offered by the people there we con-
clude that the band received the we'll
earned praise they deserve. When we
realize, that this band was organic
ed only three months ago, we have
a right to feel justly proud OF our
splendid musical organization. And
much credit goes to their leader, lr-
win Ralph. ~ ..-.s..s q .4.-' F. -,
