There Is no doubt she adopts a

GREAT BANJO STAR
IN RADIO PROGRAM

1t was on the occasion of his ninth
birthday anniversary that Eddie Pea
body, destined 10 become unc uf the
luminaries of the stage received most
precious gift from his father-a violin
1t was the first musical instrument that
Eddie ever tried to play, but from the
moment he clasped it tenderly in his
arms it was evident he was to be the
master.
He was an eager pupil and played the
little instrument jubilantly-soulfully-
at every opportunity for anyone who
wished to listen to his efforts
Then came 1917--the world war-and
Eddie, although much too young,
rushed to enlist in the navy, He left
behind him his friends, his books, all
of his most treasured boyhood possess
sions-everything but that precious
violin.
The beautifully toned instrument be-
came famous in navy circles. 1t became
Eddie's constant companion--in the
training. camps-on board the battle
wagons"-with him through ardous
submarine duty--even surviving ship
wrecks with its blond owner.
Eddie has become world famous for
his unique mastery of the banjo, but
there is no instrument in his huge col
lection he prizes more than this birth
day gift from his father If visitor
goes into the broadcasting studio and
talks to Eddie he'll probably be shown

rIJIB DOES MUCH VALUABLE
WORK.

The 50 odd Libby men who gathered
Monday in a joint meeting OF the LID
nv Commercial club and the Libby
I ions club need no further proof OF
the valuable work that has been ana
is being done by the first named or
aanization. The meeting was called at
the instigation of the Commercial CLUB
for the chief purpose of reporting 10
the community the activities that nad
engaged the clubs attention during the
past months. The reports brought much
additional proof of the valuable work
of this civic organization.
This newspaper has long supported
the commercial club in every way. Dur
ing past years it has been our PRIV
ileae to have had a part III and to have
come in rather close contact with the
tasks occupying the clubs attention
We have therefore had first hand IN
formation much of the time OF what
the club has attempted to accomplish.
with that information In mind, we have
ALWAYS felt the club was doing highly
important and necessary work TOR the
community which it strives so earn
estlv to serve. Little understanding OF
this valuable work can be had by any
one who Is not an officer of the or
ganization or member OF Its more
active committees.
The highway committee IS one sucn
committee that is especially busy II
is not uncommon for this committee
and for the board of directors to meet
at least weekly and sometimes much
pftener to consider matters of much
Importance. They are constantly II
touch with highway officials and &C.
fivities throughout the state and ar
ever looking out for the best interest
of this part of the state, from thu
standpoint of better highways. These
men have devoted hours upon hour
to this service and, of course, all OF j
is without pay except the pay tina
comes from the satisfaction Of work
we'll done and of effort expended fol
the common good of their community
Similar comment could be made o
other committees, such as fish ane
game, mining, agriculture, entertain.
ment, etc All have been busy and al
are working for the welfare and de.
velopment of Libby and vicinity.
A slight picture Of this activity wa
presented in Monday nights reports
1t is because Of the insight given a
that time Of the clubs activities tina
we said the men present need III
further proof of the value of SUCH al
organization to the community
