BAND PURPOSE
IS EXPLAINED
Support of Citizens Shown
For Juvenile Organizations

Many remarks of approval among
citizens have followed the. first con-
cert given by the Bismarck Juvenile
band and high school orchestra at
the Auditorium.
The presentation speech of Super
intendent H. o. Saxvik of the city
schools plainly showed the scope and
purpose of the band efforts. He ex
planned how previously efforts had
been made to form such an organiza
ton and the efforts had failed.
He related how committee Sc
lected from the Association of Com
merce had approached the school
board and how together they. had
worked out the present system OF
functioning as an organization with
a paid instructor who would be in
active charge Of classes in the local
high school, and in addition direct
the band and orchestra organizations.
He stated that l.. c. Sorlien was
the one selected and that exactly
eight months before, Mr.. Sorlich had
arrived in Bismarck and assumed
charge of thee organization of the
band, and that but seven and half
months had elapsed since actual
study and rehearsal had started. Mr.
SaXvik pointed out that the band
was indeed tribute to Mr. Sorlicn s
efforts and stated that he was proud
to be able to introduce the band to
the citizens of Bismarck.
At the intermission, Mr.. Sorlien
stated in few we'll chosen remarks
that thus far the band had cost the
citizens of Bismarck abs olutely moth
ing in the way Of an additional tax

Mr.. Murphy stated that disabled

"Uncle Toms
Cabin" Awakens
Fond Memories

Tucked away somewhere In the in
nermost conscious Of every man and
woman is the memory of the first
performance of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
that they ever attended; and it was
undoubtedly the Stetson company,
which is announced as the attraction
at the Bismarck Auditorium, for a
matinee and evening performance, on
Saturday February 23rd.
How wildly, when one of the old
recollectiops are recalled, does the
memory of that great epochal event
come back? The days of preliminary
expectation, heightened by the Curl
osity arrousing newspaper announce
ments; the early morning arising so
you could beat your chum down to
the theatre, so you would be in time
to lead one of the dogs in parade,
thereby getting the document that
would admit you to- the still unknown
world of wonders; how wildly one
lives it all over again? What q
glorious page it makes in the life
story of days forever gone? Is it
any wonder then that the coming
of the Stetson company, which is the
Oldest theatrical attraction touring
on this continent. stirs the communi-
ty to its foundations? To the chill
dren it. means the unfolding of new
delights, those of mature age it is
a promise of renewal Of pleasure,
of sight and sound that have long
been forgotten. There is Too, the
educational side Of .Uncle Toms
Cabin" which appeals instinctively
to both young and old.
"unc1e Toms Cabin" never grows
old. there runs through it a vein Of
pathos peculiarly touching and sweet.
Like the kiss Of child it conquers
by the very innocence Of its breath.
Who does not cherish in H>emory

FORMAL PARTY
sa BAN is URGED

Grand Forks, Feb. 16.-Pan-Hel-
lcnic, inter-sorority governing body
at the university, found at special
meeting that practically all the girls
social organizations on the campus
favor changing the annual fraternity
and sorority formal dances into in
formal parties during the approach
ing season, according to Helen Will
der, president. A
The representatives Of the sorori-
ties did not take action to prohibit
the formals, but want to have joint
meeting with the Inter-Fraternity
council, the representative govern
ing body of the fraternities. During
The discussion on the formal party
question, several means of reducing
the expense were suggested. Some
girls favored a lower limit on the
money to be spent. others would hold
informals instead Of the formal
functions. Wearing of formal dress
es by the girls at the parties was
also discussed. The members of the
nan-Hellenic will bring the matter
up at the next meetings of the groups
which they represent.

Carl Il. Olsen Of Medora. who now
engaged in lining up the financial
campaign between minneapolis and
Niles City, in Bismarck today, re-
g0rted that cities and small towns
long the line were taking up the
natter Of raising Il larger quota to
advcrtisc the trail and help it in it's
competition with the Yellowstone
Trail in splendid fashion.
Nearly every small town in North
Dakota has subscribed it's quota, he
aid. Mcdora nearly doubled the
quota allotted to that town. The cam
Daipn has not started in Sentinel
Butte and has not been finished in
Beach, Belficld, Mapleton or Medina,
but nearly score of small towns
have subscribed their quotas.
Bismarck's quota is $40O. Mandan
has informed Mr.. Olsen that it's
quota is guaranteed.
An ususual feature was reported
today by Mr.. Olsen. He said that

was that the Northern Pacific Rail-

General Passenger Agent Smith,
explaining his action, said that the
railroad was interested in developing
the Northwest, and that from the
long lines of tourists passing over
the National Parks Highway there is
the likelihood that many still stay,
or that they will go home boosting
the Red Trail and the Northwest and
send immigrants into the territory.
Mr.. Smith said that any settler ben
efts the railway, furnishing business
to it.

The veterans should also remember
that March 1, 1924, is the last date
on which an application for Certifi
cate of Injury may be filed. This
certificate Is. incontestable evidence
that an injury for which a certificate
was issued was Of service origin, ex-
cept in cases of fraud. The disabili-
ty may not be of a compensate de-
gree at the present time but may de-
velop to a more serious degree later,
hence the wisdom of obtaining a GER
tificate now while it is easy to OBJ
tain the necessary evidence.

MCDONALD FAILING.

London, Feb. 16.-Premier Mac
Donaid's broad shoulders are be-
ginning to droop under the heavy
burden of his dual office of pre-
mier and foreign minister. The
condition of his health is causing
his friends some solicitude. They
remarked his pale and haggard APP
pearance in the house of commons
yesterday which probably is due to
insomnia and neuritis brought on
by overwork. 1t is believed the
premier may soon try to find with
in the ranks Of the labor party a
man with sufficient ability and
training to look after the govern
ment's ever increasing interests in
the foreign field.
