Band a Community Asset

a MONG the many community organizations none
n is so universally desired the municipal band.
Yet despite this fact perhaps none other is so
much taken for granted Its services sought and
requested for entertainments for this and that
munity program, and wherever crowd is wanted to
be pleased and put in good humor happy state of
mind.
Men familiar with handling crowds at shows
plays fairs, exposons, pcnics, bazaars, and what
not, any affair where gayety should rule, know the
psychological part played by music in envening the
people, in nsting spirit of happiness and in blunt
English to "loosen up mentally, physically and fin
ancially.
The enterprsing community is that which boosts
its civic musical organizations for it knows the
turns will justify the time money and effort to back it
up. That's the reason the merchants in Redwood Falls
approve of the Scenic City band presenting weekly
concerts. The citizenry having signied this
endorsement by authorizing municipal band tax rate

licenses motor vehicles by establishing agencies in
every county as it is conducted in many states At
present there are authorized agencies at New Ulm,
Mankato and Fairmont.
Why not issue the automobile licenses from the
county seat hunting, trapping fishing and game
licenses? 1t is immaterial whether it is made part
of the duties of the county auditor to authorize
agents to act in this capacity.
And it might be suggested that Minnesota try the
methods of Indiana and other states, of aoting cens
in rotation to the countless that the highway
patrolmen tell at glance what county any motor
vehicle may be FROM Patrolmen will have index

to 5000, and Brown from 5,OO1 to $4,000 many
vehicles listed with provision for 100 extra
licenses which may be issued for automobiles dur
