PARENTS VOTE TO SEND
BAND TO STATE FAIR
Meeting Unanimously in Favor
of Extra Training Needed
to Make Best Showing

BY unanimous vote of those pres"
cnt at the meeting Of the parents
of the members Of the Bcmidji
Boys band held in the rooms of
the Civic and Commerce association
Tuesday evening, the band engage
ment at the Minnesota State Fair is
favored and extra practice will begin
in earnest July 10. 1t was felt that
some Of the parents might object
to the boys being required to go
through u period Of more strenuous
training than has ever before been
attempted, but after Bandmaster
G. o. Riggs had clearly outlined the
requirements attendant upon ac-
ceptancc Of the state fair contract
all present voted in favor Of the en-
gagement.
The motion which passed unani-
mously was to the effect that begin
ming July 10 every member Of the
band is expected to attend every
call for duty and any boy missing
three meeting during this period
would not be allowed to make the
trip, unless properly excused from
the meetings on just cause.
In order that the boys may at
tend practice and concerts rcgu-
larly, those who are employed must
be given the cooperation of their
employers, Mr.. Riggs states, other
wise these boys will be handicapped
from the start. Mr.. Riggs feels that
suitable arrangements can be made
for these boys and that the entire
program will be carried out effec-
lively.
From the present time until July
10, the regular practice periods will
be held. Following that date more
strenuous training period will
be entered into that the entire or
ganization may be in the best of
condition and training to play at
this great exposition.

Press).-Democrats, usually too
much in the minority in North Da-

the balance of power in the prim-
airy elections here today.
The increase in Democratic reg

AUTHORIZATIONS. -.
primarily, in the primary cleo
tons, the Democrats 90 into the
Republican camps, either to help or
defeat the Nonpartisans, but
strong contest on their own ticket
has resulted in their staying in their
own back yard this year.
In 1920, eight thousand voted
for the Democratic gubernatorial
candidate at the primaries. Women
at that time did not have the right

Octobera when they recalled the
Nonpartisan administration. Tint
was the combined Republican and
Democratic opposition to the party
Of A. C. Townley and they have
reason to believe that the Democrats
returning to their own fold are
from the Independent group and
this action may permit Nonpar-
tisan victory. * ., =, ~, 49,.

Voluntary Offer of Revised
Contract for This Season
Made by Representative Z
ARRANGEMENT lessons
BURDEN ON SUPPORTERS
Exceptionally Strong Program
Arranged for Showing Here
From July 20 to 26

Halle Kinney, a representative
of the Vawter Chautauqua was a
visitor here Tuesday and Awakened
new chautauqua enthusiasm by
voluntarily offering revised con-
tract for this season that the local
supporters and hackers feel a much
better prospect for success, and a
more favorable basis upon which to
operate,
There will be a reduction in the
price of sea'sn tickets, which will
be $500 for the total cost. The
contract itself is. of a cooperative
nature and is considered by the
hackers here to be the most favor
able ever offered. =:
Briefly speaking, this new con-
tract provides for an equal divis-
ion between the management and
the local hackers, of all receipts in
excess of $3.50. This includes re-
ccipts from both the advance sale
of season tickets and the gate
money.
This arrangement has put new
life into the local underwriters and
all feel that the present season
ought to show a decided increase
over the last, with the new contract
in operation which links in more
definite and advantageous way
with the general management
A wonderful program has been
arranged for, with the usual pro-
fusion Of good music, plenty OF en-
tertainment, and some strong lee
turers. The Junior Chautauquua
for. tlief-children has - undergone
some decided improvements.
Program Features
" Among the musical features is
the Nipple Concert Co.. The Pre-
mier Artists Quintette, is composed
of five finished vocal artists, sea-
soned to the concert platform, and
furnishing programs of exquisite
beauty and charm, from the great
classics of musical literature. Then
there is the Joymakers Quartet

the use of all the known arts of
musical entertainment in vocal
music, instrumental selections and
novelty stunts galore, in which they
propose a jolly good time for the
Chautauqua patrons.
A Rousing Comedy
A popular play entitled "A Pair
of Skies" considered by many the
greatest American comedy, which
enjoyed a long run on Broadway,
will be stage by a competent compa-
ny and the Vawter people promise
a most delightful evenings enter
tainment in this.
Another play, along a different
line and more in the nature OF a
drama will be enacted by Mr.. and
MRS, GLEN Wells. "!Atonement" is
the title and it is said to deal with
the price that must be paid for
wrong doing in social and bust
ness deals, the price that is often
exacted right here in this life.

Birds CARVING Water.

How birds breeding in dry places
supply their young with water Is IL
Illustrated by the habits of the Euro
pean sand-grouse as observed in avia-
ries by the British naturalist, Mr..
Meade-Waldo. The male rubs his
breast violently up and down on the
ground-a motion quite distinct from
dusting--and when his feathers are
awry gets into his drinking water and
saturates the feathers of his under
parts. When soaked he goes through
the motion of flying away, nodding his
head, etc, then remembering his fam
fly Is close by. he would run to the
hen, make "a demonstration, when the
young run out, get under him, and
suck the wafer from his breast-the
appearance being hat of a mammal
sucking her young. The young pass
the feathers through their bills, and
keep changing places until the supply
becomes exhausted. Until the young
can fly they take water in no other
way, and the cock alone gives II to the
young This practice has also been
attributed to the red grouse, and 1t Is
quite possible that other birds whose
young are reared far from water may
adopt IT,"

ter 80 days Of grace have elapsed.
The creditor may take the debtor away
with him, and bind him with thongs
or with letters, the weight Of which
shall not be more than 10 pounds.
The debtor may, II he choose, live
on his own means. Otherwise the
creditor that has him in bonds shall
give him a pound Of bread a day, or,
il he choose, more. In default of
settlement of the claim, the debtor
may be kept in bonds for 60 days.
In the course of this period he shall
be brought before the practor in the
Comitium on three successive market
days, and the amount Of the debt
debtor may be punished with death or
sold beyond the Tiber. After the third
market day the creditors may cut
their several portions of his body and
anyone that cuts more or less than his
just share shall be guiltless."
