of the birth Of the saxophOne. The
saxophone was invented and patented
in 1846.
The inventor of the saxOphOne and
after whom the instrument was
named, was Antoine Joseph Sax, born
in Dinant, Belgium, on November 6,
1914, the son of a celebrated instru-
ment maker. Young Sax entered
Brussels conservatory Of music at an
early age Ito study the clarinet and
flute, but the workbench soon
claimed him as his love for mechanics
grew, and he came to devote his
genius to the improvement of musical
instruments. He later went to Paris,
where he met great success in per
fecting instruments. The saxophOne
was patented in 1846. Jealous per-
sons sought ito prevent him from get
ting due credit for his invention, and
due to their scheming, his factory
passed out Of his hands under the
auctioneer's block. He died at the
age of 80, almost penniless.
The saxophOne might have been bu
another musical instrument, but fOl

new instrument known everywhere
The clarinetist came to America, an

South America, continuing his cor

until his death in 1911.

KOA'S PROGRAM
WEEK OF JAN. z

Two interesting programs will be
broadcast from KOA, Rocky Noun
tain station Of the General Electric
chain, in the next few days.
On New Years day, KOA will
broadcast play-by-play reports on the
classic of the football year-the Ala
bama-StanfOrd clash at the Pasadena
bowl where annually is staged the
Tournament Of Roses contest.
Alabama has lost but one game in
four years, while Stanford has been
beaten only once in two years. Neith-
er team has been defeated this year.
The event marks the consumatiOn Of
the gridirOn season.
On Monday evening a program of
choral and orchestral music from well
known light operas will be broadcast
over KOA, beginning at 9:15 o'clock,
mountain time. This program will be
presented under the auspices Of the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph company, and similar ones will
be broadcast on the first and third
Mondays Of each month during the
season.
The program for next Monday is
we'll balanced, including such favor
ties as Seems from the MikadO," !"
''Troubador Song" and ooh, Promise
Me" from "RObin Hood; Seems from
Pinafore", "Gay of Heart" from
Martha, and others. There will be
orchestral numbers, violin solos and
duets, and choral selections. The
chorus is said to be a most excellent
one.
Perhaps one of the most attractive
features of the Mountain States com
pany's program will be the absence
of speeches. It will be all music Of
, a superior order.

from the seven, as prize winner; but

signed to them and not pooled. When confronted
with what the Canadian Officers had said to Mr.
Taylor he hedged on his statements in that re-
gard made in Minneapolis and when questioned
about the statements of the Minnesota. officers in
regard to the resale of North Dakota grain for
advance prices the same day, he deprecated the
statement and said that the records would dis
close the fact: that he doubted that it had hap
pened very often: that this could happen occas-
siOnally in good faith: and further that he was
positive that nothing of this sort had happened
since Mr. Stark had become salesman for the
North Dakota Agency, testfying that Mr.. Stark
was without doubt enc of the most experienced

stay out of the North Dakota Pool this year and
that probably all of the difficulties now claimed
to be existing would probably be disposed of this
