Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Jensen were

Chris will remain on the place
and perhaps another brother
George, Of Rock Greek, will stay
with him on the farm.
AT the last band rehearsal il
was decided to again separate the
old and new classes, each re.
hearsing on separate evenings SO
that better results may be OBJ
tanned. The new class will meet
every Monday evening and the
old class every Tuesday evening,
rehearsals TO begin promptly at
Is o'clock. The two classes were
united about two months ago
that they might all appear at the
local chautauqua entertainment
because either class was too
small, but the uniting Of the two
is a little premature and hence
the separate rehearsals. The di-
rector is rather reluctant about
having two evenings taken up
regularly every week but willing
to sacrifice the time if progress
is made. But remember that pos
sessing an instrument and at
tending rehearsals once a week
is not enough. There must be in
dividual rehearsal at home. If a
person has something else TO
chase to all the other nights Of
the week he or she might as well
give up the music for there will
be no advancement made and il
only has a tendency to hold 9TH
ers back. Now for some work.
The benefits and pleasures viii
be reaped later.

high school course improves and
the quantity of the work in

it becomes almost impossible to
make up the work satisfactorily
