Instruments For
Band Practice To
Be Available

With the intentions of recruiting
large number of students for the
school band, Bandmaster Ray
Creighton is giving all students an
opportunity to enroll in the new
band instrument classes to be for
med soon.
All students are being tested
with a scientific test to check their
musical ability, and arrangements
are being made so that instru-
ments can be rented for three
months to determine the instrum-
ent best suited to each individual
child and his interest This meth
cd of starting children on musical
instruments is being widely used
by schools throughout the country
with great success, according to
Creighton.
Lessons will be furnished by the
school Now is the logical time for
children to start Creighton said
and it will only be a matter of
months before they will be given
an opportunity to win a chair in
the regular band and to participa-
te in all of the school band func-

No Bed OF Roses
Seen; Farms In
Business Trends

The co-operators of the Madison
Soil Conservation District recount
ed their progress during the past
ten years at the annual meeting
and banquet held in the Youth
Building at the Fair Ground.
In the meeting, they also heard
a discussion of the trends of the
past and present with a forecast
of the future by c. r. (Cap) Arm
old, Retired Governor of the u. S.
Farm Credit Administration.
Arnold told the group that there
have been more changes during
the last % years than during the
previous 1000 years. He discussed
at length the difference in prices
today and few years ago, and
pointed out that the changes dur
ing the next 20 years will possibly
surpass those which have happen
ed during the last 20 years.
In noting that much grain, prob
ably half the worlds supply, is
still harvested by hand, he added
that this is primarily in areas
where the capital is scarce and the
labor plentiful and cheap. He COM
pared it with America today,
where labor is continually becom-
ing bigger part of the price of
every item. He emphasized that
wages are the highest in history,
with the exception of for farmers.
Arnold also rviewed some credit
statistics, the growing population
in Ohio, and the fact that although
a huge increase is expected, the
farm population will continue to
decrease.
Relative to the expected popu-
lation increase, Arnold told the
group, that the surplus farm pro-
duct problem will not be solved.
He said the increasing trend to-
ward scientific management will
be the cause for fewer farms, with
larger wages continuing. He pre-
dicted that costs of cars will con-
tinue to rise more gadgets will
be added and population will con-
tinue to move toward rural areas.
He also said hours per week will
be decreased as wages and retire
ment benefits will increase.
He told the group that colleges
and Universities will be over
crowded, and that families will be-
come more and more two car
families" He said also that inheri-
tance taxes will continue to take a
larger portion of estates.
He predicted no outlook of gloom
for farmers, but at the same time
he painted no rosy picture of big
crops. high prices for produce and
low labor His outlook was that
farmers will continue to find their
work made easier but will still
have to work hard and contend

KID STUFF
Asked to repeat the jingle
Peter Piper etc, youngster
said II can't do it because it
gets my tang all tonguled up!
coNcEIT
So you think that you are
indispensable, eh? Well, just
stick your finger in a glass of
water and see if it leaves a
hole when you take it out.
SAD
We can think of no other
situation more disconcerting
than to be married to a wo-
man in politics.
HOUSING
About the only difference we
can see between the ranch
type house of today and the
ranch-type house of yesterday
is that the cook house has now
become the breezeway.
FACT
Surveys on the subject re-
veal that there are at least
500 million people in the Unit
ed States-that is, if you be-
lieve what is said about radio
and teevee. Fact is that your
local newspaper is the best
read publication in these parts.
People who buy the paper -
read it!
TELEPHONE
The new telephone system is
an electronic marvel but we
wish some brain would devise
a way to eliminate wrong
numbers and calls from
people we don't want to talk
with.
QUESTION
Was it Alexander Woolcott
who said, Among the lower
classes the husband and wife
ride together; in the middle
classes the husband rides in
front and the wife in back;
and in the upper classes the
wife of one rides with the hus-
band of another" =?
MARRIAGE
Fellow who's supposed to
know says that firemen make
the best husbands. It rs our
candid opinion that the reason
for this is that wiley doesn't
expect him home by certain
time each night.
SOAP
With the liquid detergents
leading the field it looks like
case of Goodbye Mr.. Chips"
TEMPTATION
Small boy stood in front of
a fruit stand, cycling some big
red apples. Stand owner sus-
piciously queried, Are you
trying to steal one of those APP
Piles, son ?" Boy stammered,
"N-n-no sir! I'm trying not
to-"
ADVICE
Most successful farmer we
ever knew sold his farm to a
golf club.

said, "A fern is a plant that
you're supposed to water once
a day, but when you don't it
dies, but if you do 1t dies any
way. only not so soon."
oLDiE
Another oldie that always
got laugh was the one about
the guy who said after large
evening "I feel like J
wreck that's going out to hap

VIEWPOINT
A small town is a plafe
where nothing ever happens
until the newspaper has gone
to press.
FAMILY
A mother of seven children
was asked this question: "Dlo
you give each of your children
full. impartial love at all
times ?"
Mother thought this over
and said. mo. / don't n
