COAL ASHES As FERTILIZER

Most Useful on Clay.

Coal ashes have little value as serti-

They are most valuable on heavy clay

a great aid in placing the Marine
Band in It's present place in the world
of musical the pinnacle.
1t may be of interest to Washing
tonians and the countless numbers
who attend the outdoor concerts given
during the summer months at the
White House and the Capitol, that
these concerts were inaugurated In
1854. and that Congress on August
1S, 1856. voted 81 a month extra pay
to the members of the band for play
ing during these evenings.
RECOGNITION BY LINCOLN.
These concerts grew in such popular
favor that the commandant of the
Marine Corps, Col John Harris,
recommended the frst reorganization
of the band, the roster to consist OF
one principal musician or leader with
a salary of 500. seven first-ciass must

note, Captain Santelmann early in
his career saw the Importance of or

Holt is himself an artist "mando-

those who are not familiar with what
Is meant by the term "fretted in

Another evidence of the "sociabil-

popularity at summer camps: and b.
everyone there seems to be natural
tendency to associate a mandolin, n
banjo, and a guitar with a canoe. a
moon, and a lake. There seems also
to be a particular charm in the study
of these instruments.
Age seems to be no barrier: for l
have had pupils ranging in years from
nine to seventy, and l am glad to say
that many with physical Affections
have been able to learn to play, among
these being several who were totally

Aside from the social sphere the

Among the many organizations

tion OF Music Week" is one that has
at all times played an important part
in intoxicating love OF good music in
the people OF the District of Columbia
the United States Marine Band.
The Marine Band has been an insti-
tuition of the National Capital and the
marine corps since it's inception in
179S, and has been giving concerts at
Washington for many years. These
concerts have been a source of pleas
ure to hundreds OF thousands and
have been an incentive to the cultiva-
ton and appreciation OF the highest
and greatest of arts-music.
Washington is not alone in hearing
the wonderful Marine Band and Sym

been carried to all the principal cities
of the country on concert tours, and
has been greatly appreciated and
warmly welcomed, as in Washington.

President John Adams, by an act of

Marine Corps, and in this act provi-

greatest and best band. This act
stated that drum corps should be
provided, to consist of sixteen drum
n,ers and sixteen fifers. and these
drummers and fifers acted as the Ma
dine Band until 1902.
