LUTHER COLLEGE BAND
COMING HERE JULY II

Those who heard the Luther
College band when it was here are
looking forward expectantly to its
temperance in Wolf Point on
July 27 when it will give con-
cert at the Liberty Theatre. Of
interest to many will be a short
sketch about the life of the direct
or, Carlo A. Sperati.
Professor Carlo A. Sperati is a
descendant of a long line of mu-
sicians. His father was both band
master and organist and musical
director of the opera. Sperati was
born in the year 1860 in Oslo, Nor
way. His father was an Italian
and his mother a Dane.
Sperati's musical training was
received in his fathers orchestra
where he played violin. He also
became proficient in the playing
of the snare drum and the piano.
AS a boy Of six he appeared as
drum soloist before the royal fami-
lies of Norway, Sweden and Den
mark. He was often seen filling
his fathers place as organist in
one of the churches in Oslo.
Later in life he became a sail
or and in 1884 emigrated to Amer
ica. Since his graduation from
Luther College in 1888, and Luth-
er seminary in 1891, he has served
IA years as pastor and teacher on
the Pacific coast. In 1905 he was
called to his Alma Mater to the
position of professor of music.
Since he became director of the
Luther College band that organi-
zation has made great progress
and has become known far and
wide. During his regime the band
has collected a very valuable
stock of the best makes of instru
ments and a most extensive musi-
cal library.
In 1911 Prof. Sperati was hon
ored by the Norwegian Student
of the University Of Oslo
when they presented him with
their Order of Knighthood. Dur
ing the festivities in connection
with celebrating the one hundredth
of Norway's inde-
pendence, when Prof. Sperati Wis
tied Norway with the Luther Col
Iege Concert Band, he was again
nonored by this body and received
heir rank of commander.

JUNE RAINFALL LIGHT;
MUCH BELOW NORMAL

The average June rainfall in
Roosevelt county was far below
normal, according to reports re-
ceived from ten stations through
out the county. Four stations re-
port less than an inch of rainfall
tween one and two inches, and
one station reports three and
three-fourths inches. The latter
report from George Piercy of Balm
vile was made possible by the
two-inch rain which fell June 16,
which, however, was not very wide
ly extended.
The average June rainfall re-
corded at Poplar for the past 25
years is 2.79, more than double
the average received by the nine
lowest stations reporting.
Eastern Roosevelt county was
more fortunate than the north and
west sections which received less
than an inch in most places. The
report by stations follows:
Oscar Nelson, Bainville, 1.64 in.
L. E. Blankenship, Volt, Sc in.

GOOD PROGRESS
ON BRIDGE PLAN
SCOTT HART'S REPORT FILED,
OTHER ENGINEERS AND
OFFICIALS EXPECTED

Engineer Scott Hart, who last
week made preliminary survey
and plats of possible sites for the
Wolf Point bridge, has sent his re-
port to the highway commission.
Correspondence between officials
at Helena and w. L. Young in
dicates good prospects of an early
visit from state highway engineers
and possibly the highway commits
sioners and Governor Erickson,
with the purpose of making first
hand survey of all matters pertain
ing to the Wolf Point bridge pro
ject The officials are convinced
of the extreme need of a bridge
across the Missouri at this point
and are sincere in their desires
to get action by the federal bur
eau of the western states, will al
so be brought here to look over
the situation.
The success of the Williston
bridge project and the great ser
vice it will be to people of west
ern North Dakota will have di-
rect and favorable bearing on the
Wolf Point project. The river at
Williston required a longer and
more expensive structure than
will be needed to bridge the stream
here.
Secretary of State, VIM. Powers,
expects to accompany the Govern
or, of he comes. Mr. Powers has
been exceedingly courteous and
helpful in cooperating with Mr..
Young and other local men in car
rying the bridge program along
and advancing it's interests.

TEST IMPLEMENTS
in ACTUAL WORK
VOLT, BENRUD AND WASkA
FARMERS ASSEMBLE ON
SCHULTES FARM

Seventy farmers of the Volt,
Benrud and Waska communities at
tended the tillage implement meet
ing held July Sth, at the Schultes
farm near Volt, and spent the af-
ternoon in the study of tillage
problems. A feature of the after
Moons program was the trial of
several tillage machines to deter
mine their practicability and value.
Both home made and manufactured
machines were demonstrated. Lo-
cal arrangements were in charge
of Sid Scourey, crop committee
man in the Volt community.
Homemade Weeders
The double rod weeder construct
ed and used last season by julius
Cess drew many favorable com
ments. Mr.. Cess, in describing
the machine, recommended i'm
provements as his first machine
did not include the proper type
of rod, nor did it have the correct
hitch, both of which are essential
to success with this machine.
August Nelson, a neighbor of
Mr.. Cess, demonstrated a double
rod weeder which he used last
season in removing weeds from
summer fallow. Mr.. Nelson's ma
chine is constructed on original
lines for use with a tractor and
will be improved for this seasons
use.
The demonstration of the spring
tooth harrow, furnished by Mr.
Dier, and the John Deere duckfoot
cultivator, furnished by Mr.. John
son, were of considerable interest
and showed the practicability and
value of these machines as gen.
eral summer tillage implements.
Other Matters
Summer fallow is essential to
success in the territory around
Volt, however, the type of soil in
this section presents some special
problems. At the meeting July 8,
some of the special problems were
considered with reference to the
machines demonstrated and re
commendations made for their So
ution.
Prior to the tillage meeting
short capOnizing demonstration
was given with instruction for
handling capons to produce highest
quality birds. At the close of the
meeting fair committees of the
Benrud and Volt communities held
a short meeting to discuss plans
for a community fair later in the
fall.
