Military Band Makes
Occasion Lively One

Emulating the American Legion
state band, most famous musical Or
ganization in the Northwest, the
military band of the 164th regiment,
North Dakota National Guard, made
things lively in Bismarck Saturday.
On the streets early and making a
splendid appearance in their dark
blue coats with trousers of a light
err blue, the band serenaded the Bis
marck Tribune with two lively march
numbers and paid similar compli-
ment to several other business insti-
buttons. Sandwiched between other
activities was radio salute to their
friends throughout the state.
1t was a splendid musical organ
ization which Director Gerald Wright
brought here to take a major part in
the capitol celebration, as was proved
to those who attended concert Civ
en- by the organization Friday night
III the city auditorium. All numbers
were executed with splendid preci-
sion and dash and the band won for
itself the respect of Bismarck citizens
as a musical organization of more
than ordinary worth.
In its serenading tour about the
city Saturday morning the band also
proved that it is splendid marching
organization.
Director Wright and all of the
bandsmen are bona fide members of
the North Dakota national guard and
hail from Lisbon and vicinity.

One of Samuel Insults favorite
stories about himself, which he liked

the installation of a huge steam tur-

naturally, there was quite a bit of

"We would pause for moment this
day and think of them. When we
honor them, we honor Thee and we
honor ourselves.
And yet help us to remember that
the richest treasure of the state we
love does not lie in the past, no mat
ter how fine that past might have
been. So We pray today not only
for the aged but we remember with
tender hearts the youth of our state.
1t will be their task to insure the
steady development and growth of the
state we love.
I'VE invoke Thy divine blessing
upon this cornerstone laying. Bless
those who shall speak to us this day.
I'VE pray especially for the men
who shall labor here. Guard them
from accident. May they build hon
estly and we'll as good craftsmen.
Within the walls that shall soon
arise upon this spot may honor, JUS
tice and truth ever have the right OF
way. May the past of which we are
so proud be but an indication of finer
service to God, nation and state in
the days ahead
The text of Rev. Father Slag's
benediction was as follows:
I'm the name of the Father and
of the Son and the Holy Ghost
amen.
I'VE pray thee, O God of might
wisdom and justice, through whom
authority is rightly administered and
laws are enacted. to bless the build

have laid today. the capitol of the
state of North Dakota which is to be
erected in this place. Bless the ex-
ecutiye of this state in all future
times; bless the men and women who
shall gather here to enact the laws
for the people of North Dakota sc
that in all their actions they shall
never contradict Thee, the Author OF
all law and order.

Of picking men on the basis Of
their play just before the tie. Yet
Vines, kicked out in the first round
of a Texas tournament, was the
first to be named. Sure, that's all
right. Everybody knows Vines is
the best player in the country.
And most people will agree that
Shields, day in and day out. is
better player than Mangin. despite
the latter's triumph over Shields IN
the indoor tournament. And that
no tryouts are needed to establish
the fact that Allison and Van Ryn
are a more potent doubles team
that Bell and Mangin, say.
But why all this talk about min
