half of his goyernme ent, made the fur
ther suggestion that it might be OF
value for the acting chairman Of the
committee, Thomas w. Lamont, to pro-
ceed in the near future to Mexico City
for purposes of discussion.
"Inasmuch as the bankers commit.
tee, organized two years ago for the
protection of foreign investors holding
Mexican obligations, was formed with
the approval Of the Governments Of the
United States, Great Britain and
France, the American section OF the
committee would, of course, make its

doubt, would wish the committee TO

MODIFICATION OF ARMY
BILL HARDING'S IDEA
Cut 90 $4,000 by October viii Force
Break OF Contract With En-
listed Men

Washington - Although President
Harding expects to sign the army APP
preparation bill reducing the standing
army TO 10000, he probably will call
attention of congress to certain pro-
visions OF the measure which he Is
understood to consider will require
modification at the next session.
As Ii has come from conference, the
appropriation measure provides that
the reduction to 10000 men must be
accomplished by October /. War de-
partment officials say this will require
the discharge OF several thousand men
by arbitrary means. Under the Borah
provision, the department is prohibited
from exceeding the actual amount APP
propriatsd, a stipulation which secre-
tary Weeks is understood TO feel
might force the government, in Its eff
forts 10 reduce the enlisted strength, 10
break contracts with some of the men
to be discharged.
1t is expected that when the presi-
dent signs the bill within the next few
days he will set forth this position in
more detail and will point owt what
changes he considers should be made
in order TO rectify the situation.

WHITEFIsH BOY BAND COMING
Twenty-Five Piece Band Returning
from Engagement at Spokane.

The biggest musical event that has
ever come to Boomers Ferry will be
here on July 8 and 10, at the Amazon
and Rex theatres, when the famous
Whitefish Boys Band of Whitefish,
Montana, will render a gigantic con-
cert, consisting OF full band selections,
individual instrumental solos and
vocal numbers by the band glee club.
1t will be remembered that this band
played here last fall when they re-
turned to Whitefish from the Interstate
Fair in Spokane, and the extraordinary
fine attendance has induced them to
play return engagement here this
year. Several new towns have been
added by the band this year, as their
program is greatly enlarged over last
year and the band has several more
members than when they played here
last year.
Fred Brindle, cornet soloist with the
band, is a marvel on the cornet, handl-
ing the difficult selections and solos
with great ease, in fact, there is hard

uses his music while playing, as after
few moments study on new piece
of music he discards the music and
plays from memory.
The trombone soloist, Mortimer
Sullivan, is far ahead of his age in
accomplishment ON his instrument
From the delicate rendering OF high
class music on his slide to the slip
perry sliding, groaning jazz, he is a
master on the Instrumentation even
at the young age of 16 years. Both
Mr.. Brindle and Mr.. Sullivan have ac-
quired the difficult matter of laughing
on their instruments, and it will bring
a smile to your face to actually hear
their instruments emit a natural laugh
that completely harmonizes with the
selection of music the band is playing.
Cecil G. Nixon, leader of the band,
is prosperous piano merchant, own
ing the Nixon Music House at White
fish, Mont
Following the concert a dance will
be held at which the eight-piece jazz
orchestra will furnish the music, with
Mr.. Nixon as leader at the piano. That
the dance will be the biggest event of
the year is foregone conclusion.

F qet-Other Plans.

Construction of an addition to
Western High School, one of the most
seriously congested senior institu-

in the new school budget which
school authorities are now framing.
1T was learned today from an au-
thoritative source An appropriatttptn tt,n
TO-. the purchase of property near the
school for an athletic field also 10
likely to be included in the estimates
The size of the proposed annex 20
Western, it is said, has not been den-
nitely determined. 1t will be large
enough, however, to insure adequate
Accommodations for the present stu
dent body.
Several members of the board OF
education this week inspected the
property adjoining Western. where 1t
:, is proposed to erect the addition ana
| to make an athletic field. The SITE
suggested for the athletic field, 1t Is
understood. can be acquired at a rea-

1t is now so overcroWded that SIX

beginning OF tne new term III Sepleh-
Der to provide quarters for the excess
students. Five portables were used
during the last school year.
An appropriation of about $9O0.ooo
will be inserted in the estimates TO
finish the new Eastern High school
now under construction. The estimat-
ed cost of this institution. which, 1t is
expected. will be completed by Sep

Other Moves in Doubt.
Whether provisions for the relief Of
either Business or Tech High Schools
will be carried in the budget school
officials have not definitely decided.
Both of these schools are overcrowd-
ed, and the alumni associations Of
each are engaged in a concerted cam
paign for new and larger buildings.

Pay Increases to Be Urged.
Substantial increases in salaries for
teachers and clerks in the public
