the Cuban Navy Band at this
concert.
It was, indeed, a revelation
and convincing that Cuba has
many far more worthwhile
things than occasional revolu-
tions.
I trust I may be pardoned for
saying, incidentally, that I had
a small and humble part in the
origin and continuance of these
concerts, which is a source OF
very deep qualification to me.
So, again, congratulations, my
dear DR.. Rowe, and may your
good work continue and increas-

bS ~~~0N AN~Vy ~@BSN
Permit me through your
columns to congratulate Di-
rector General Rowe, of the Pan
American Union, and his aSSo-
ciates on the concert of last
Tuesday night and, in particular,
for this concert the Cuban Navy
Band.
It was one of the best concerts
the Pan-American has had in a
long time. am, indeed, i'm
pressed with the fact that the
benefits that must flow from
these concerts, which are broad
cast to the South and Central
American countries, in promot-
ing cordial cultural and eco
nomic relations with our south
ern neighbors, are inestimable
and tar-reachlng.
I have always been an advo-
cate of our devoting our time
and attention to the cultivation
and development of the most
cordial and close relations with
our southern neighbors rather
than wasting our time, efforts,
and money upon Europe, that
will never pay to us the debts
they owe and who, for that and
other reasons, entertain for us
only envious ill-will.
It has been my privilege to
hear some of the leading bands
of the world, and I can truly say
that / never heard any band per.

ballot to validate the election
and of the forty per cent or

bonds, which will give the trus-

GRITTY to sell bonds to finance
the construction of a much
needed school building at st.
Xavier, and the completion of
the building at Crow Agency.
Officials stated that due to
the fact that the school popu-
lation in the vicinity of St.
Xavier has more than doubled
within the past year, the pres

insure the proper education Of
the children in this area. At
present in St. Xavier there are
three small one-room buildings
housing more than one hundred
children. Each of the three
teachers have several grades
and because of the crowded
conditions the children are not
receiving the educational advan-
tages to which they are entit-
led. The health conditions pre-
vailing in these schools are far
from satisfactory. and it is i'm
possible to provide suitable &C
comodations unless the electors
of the school district, by vote,
give the trustees authority to is
sue bonds to erect a suitable
building at st. Xavier. which
would not only serve St. Xav-
Ter, but would relieve the
crowded and unsatisfactory con-
dition of the three schools south
of St. Xavier.
The first of these schools is
located near the old Camp Five
unit of the Campbell Farming
Corporation. Last year, the
trustees were unable to rent a
building in this vicinity for a
school, and were forced to erect
a small building 10 feet by "a

Nature works against thieves,
supplementing your news item
on gas being stolen on my pre-
misses by two young men. I wish
to state that there were two
cars and four men and one wo-
man involved.
They got stuck with both cars
one in the wheat field near the
tractors and the other about
three miles nearer town on the
Two Leggin bench. They tried
to pull the car which was stuck
in the field with one of my own
tractors and failed. They then
proceeded with my tractor and
barrel filled with gas out of the
tractors to the other car which
was stuck near the cattle guard
on Two Leggin hill.
At this time, about Ills pm,
we were returning to the ranch
through heavy mud and stopped
to help the woman who was
sitting in this car, get out of the
mud. AS the four men ap-
preached us they recognized
us and threw the gas barrel
and Siphon hose from the trac-
tor behind the sage brush and
kept on coming toward the car.
Not paying any attention to
our presence they began to pull
the car out of the mud with
the tractor and then proceeded
to take inventory of what to do
next. I reminded them of their
precarious position appropriate
ing to the use of some one else's
property. They answered by say
ing they would not let their car
stand in the mud when a trac-
tor was available to pull it out.
We helped them get the car
and tractor out of the muu
and they left promptly, and
when their lights disappeared
behind Two Leggin hill at 10
pm. we proceeded to find the
other car, which we located near
the other two tractors with a
tire off that the other car had
taken.
Following the treads of the
tractor tires we found the drum
that they had dumped about
a half mile from the car we
helped out of the mud.
We placed a guard at this
drum so the thieves, which we
knew they were now, could not
get away with this evidence. We
notified the sheriff and got
home about 3 am.
At 6 am. we were on our way
