its quick double action; it immedi-

REAL TREAT COMING

There is nothing that can stir the Spir-
its of so many persons as good military
band. From the Ompah-oOmp of the big
bass horn, down through the silvery notes
of the cornet, the shrill piping of the flies
and piccolOs, the sOftened strains of clarl-
net, French horns and trombones, to the
rackety bang of the drums, a military
band just breeds enthusiasm and good
cheer.
Ii produces music that has an appeal
all Of its own Few male Americans
have grown to manhood without having
had one or more experiences OF following
band for miles in their boIhood. And
they never lose the thrill Of it. \ band Is
real music, with all due respect to other
music-producing organizations, lnStru-
ments of people.
There is no better band in any quarter
of the globe than the United States Ma
rine Band, The Presidents Own, which
comes to Imperial Valley for two per-
formances next Monday, at the Imperial
county fair grounds.
It was raised to the pinnacle of per-
fection under the leadership of John
Phillip Sousa. who directed its activities
over a score of years. When Sousa de-
parted from the band he left behind him
a tradition and high degree Of merit
which succeeding leaders and members of
the band have upheld as religiously as
the marines themselves have cherished
their reputation as fighters and military
men par excellence.
The United States Marine band is US
ually kept on duty at Washington. Under
certain conditions and with the consent
of the President, it is permitted to make
occasional tours Of the country. Not OF
ten do these tours include places outside
the metropolitan areas. or the larger CIT
les. but on the present occasion, the band
is visiting less populated sections of the
country and Imperial Valley may wei! be
proud that it is included in the itinerary.
Every school child in Imperial Valley
should be present when the band gives an
afternoon concert for them next Monday.
1t will be treat that they will remem-
Der with unbounded Joy as long as they
live. Parents should see to it that their
children are permitted to attend. In most
of the rural schools the children will be
