THE ASKOV CONCERT
Sandstone and Askov Bands
Gave Enjoyable Concert,
on May 18th.

A critique Of a concert should
have two purposes: 1t should
make the readers more interested
in music especially those who
were present at the concert as it
recalls the music to their mind
and at the same time give the
director and the musicians some
little suggestion that may be
helpful at some other time.
The great difference between
the first and second parts of the
program was noticeable 10 all. 1t
is a good old rule that at a con-
cert the best shall come at last.
The second part commenced with
Patrol The Blue and Gray
which is especially adapted to a
brass band. In the first part two
serenades were played. They
surely were well played but a
serenade is not intended to be
played by a brass band--no stree
Ion single string instrument q
moonlight night!!!
There was not on the progran
any classical composition al
though i'm Scenes from Opera
land" No. 8 we heard some of the
well known melodies from
Faust. All the selections were
newer music but we did not hear
any jazz or other musical jokes
sometimes used in the cities for
entertaining the unmusical part
Of the audience.
At the very beginning of the
first number we heard that the
comets were dominating over the
other instruments. Four well
trained first cornet players took
care that the melody notes were
carried through. Flowers of the
Wildwood waltzes, seemed the
best OF the selections in the first
part.
We are also glad to mention
from the second part the beauti-
full composition One Fleeing
Hour, No. 0, and Gibraltar" No.
10, and not least the last parts of
Woodland, No. IL. In the last
number, The Stars and Stripes
Forever, we had the pleasure Of
hearing the piccolo clear and
distinct.
The concert was we'll attended
and it could easily be noticed that
the whole assemblage understood
the music and appreciated all the
efforts put forth to give this COM
munity an occasion to hear a good
concert, and every lover of music
undoubtedly wishes that the two
music corps will keep on develop
ing their musical faculties and
once in a while give us another
good joint concert.

b. IN part as follows:
Very'many, if not most Of the
comments made by press and
public men, stress the fact that
Knute Nelson was a foreigner"
and enlarge on his progress and
achievement, from poor, strug-
Cling immigrant boy TO the place
of greatest honor within the gift
of the people Of a state.
II would be folly to take issue
with the truth of these state
ments and yet we would suggest
that they somewhat miss the
mark.
There is no special virtue in
being American born, any more
than there is power or virtue in
the fact of birth in any other
country.
The spirit of America is not a
matter of birthplace it is a mat
ter Of heart and soul.
All over this country we have
some people, native born, who
are not in accord with the spirit
of America. And we have
thousands of foreign born people
in this country who are as thor.
ough going Americans as can be
found among the best.
Knute Nelson came to America
with the spirit Of America with
in him.. Generations, centuries OF
the love of freedom we're back OF
him. For much more than a
thousand years liberty, equality
and independence were the
dream, the aspiration and even
the achievement of the Morse
man.
When we speak of Americanism
we are not speaking Of a physical
fact. Americanism is not lands
or bonds, or barns. II is not oil
stock, railroads or profiteers
II is not any of these things
that we can weigh and measure
and count.
Americanism is the love OF
liberty--the liberty that makes
for equality and safety. Ameri.
canism is the practice of justice
and fair play. Americanism is
a constant endeavor to realize
the ideals for which the human
race has struggled since first we

CLUB TELLS HOW
TO STRATGHTEN
TRAFFIC TANCLE'

Coplcss traffic jams-traffic
tangles where there are no traffic
officers on hand-are causing Il lot
Of worry. to auto owners through
cut the country, as well as TO pc
dcstrians and others, and few
wellaimed words Of advice have
just been issued from the Auto
Club of Southern California, i'm it's
general plan to make the suburban
roads and city streets safer for hu-
manity.
It is the reckless and needless
auto driver who "busts" into a
street or road intersection with
little thought of how badly he may
tangle up motor travel in that Vi
cinity, say club officials.
When you approach busy cross
ing, the best thing to do is to stop,
look, and listen. 1t is really lust
rs important as it is to stop, look,
and listen at railway grade cross
ings. Size up the condition of traf-
fle at the road or street intersection
be sure you are right, and then
go ahead, urges the auto club.
II you are going to turn to the
right then edge over near to the
curb on your right hand. If you
are going to turn to the left then
edge over toward the left of your
side OF the street, and if you are
going straight ahead over the in
tcrscction, then steer a middle
course.
a lot of bad traffic tanglcs arc
caused by motorists trying to make
their turns from the wrong posi-.
ton. just keep in mind when YOU
approach n busy intersection that
you should come up to it in the
right position, and then you will
not cross in front of other people
who are also trying to reach their
destination. Don t blow your horn
trying to hurry the other fellow
ahead of you. Don't go into the
tangle so fast that you cannot back
up little bit and make room for
somebody else to get by, in ease it
would help unravel the snarl.
Don plow ahead regardless of
everything, showing your way in
where angels fear to tread. IL you get
too close to the man ahead of you, |
then he will be unable to back up
and relieve the congestion, and
there you will sit until some soft
hearted individual gets out of his
ear and tries to untangle the bunch, |
is the final word Of club warning.

FLATTENING OF
SELLING PEAKS
1928 FEATURE
Tremendous Demand for
Closed Models Also
Notable

The two outstanding develop
mcnts of the last year in the auto
motive industry have been the flat
tcning down of the seasonal selling
peaks and the tremendous demand
for closed models. Thus, w. Il.
Tracy, assistant sales manager of
the Oakland Motor Car company,
Pontiac, Mich, analyzes the chang
ing public sentiment which has
brought this about.
"While it is true that there may
probably always be selling seasons
in the motor car industry, the sell
ing season rs it was understood in
former years is no more,' explains
Tracy. Undoubtedly more motor
ears were sold this spring than will
be sold in like period during the
remainder of the year, but the per-
centage of this springs total sale
to the whole year will be consid-
crably smaller than i'll other years
and will grow smaller each year.
"Probably the biggest factor in
making the spring selling season a
rounded hump rather than Il sharp
high peak sthc SHARPLY incrcas-
ing sale of closed models-that i'm
addition to the Increasing number
of improved highways.
During this last year dealers
often sold the largest percentage of
their January and February ship
ments after receiving them, whern-
as many of them had expected to
store them up for the spring selling
season. March, likewise, stands
out as one of the biggest sales
months this yes in motor cars. And
July, which falls off rs q sales
month, gives every indication of
keeping up strong.
eCloscd cars arc bought at any
and every time during the year be-
cause they can be used with thc
utmost comfort any time of the
year. People arc buying closed ears
today when they want them after
they are "sold" on the domel of
car they wish to buy.
Just rs closed street ears have
succeeded open street ears, so clos
ed motor ears are being purchased
to a greater and greater extent be
cause of all year round utility
and that is why the automobile sell
ing season now is IL months in
each year.

.HECLA PAYS DIVIDEND
$4,000 SEPTEMBER IS
IN SPITE OF LONG SUSPENSION
DUE TO LATE DISASTROUS
FIRE AT BURKE.

Yesterday announcement was made
of the regular quarterly dividend by
the Hecla Mining company payable
on September Is to stockholders of
record September 1. The dividend is
at the rate of Is cents per share,
amounting to $15OOOO In the fmst
quarter of this year the company paid
25 cents per share, or $25OOO0 and in
the second quarter the disbursement
was so cents per share, of 100000.
The payment now announced for The
third quarter will therefore bring the
total amount paid this year up to
100000 and the grand total paid by
the company $1O,S55,OO0. In view Of
the very substantial surplus in the
treasury of the company. together
with the "use and occupancy policy
held by the company, the popular pre-
diction was that Hecla would pay a
dividend of 25 cents per share in spite
Of the forced suspension of production
on account of the fire. However, the
smaller dividend is in line with the
commendable conservatism that has
ever characterized the Hecla man
agement, and stockholders are for
tunate in receiving a dividend at all
before the company has had time to
recover from the disaster that befelI
it a month ago That they are to re-
ceive a dividend is due directly to the
foresight of the management in car
rying "use and occupancy insur-
ance policy for s1.O0O,OOO
