"W hat does a band mean to town?" Anderson asks
in one of his first stories. “ Better ask what is a town w ith
out a band? L ife in a town goes on. just so. You know
how it is. Merchants selling goods, lawyers fighting their
cases, farm ers coming into town to buy goods. Spring,
summer, fall, winter. People in th eir houses, women cook
ing, m aking beds. L ife is dull enough.
"One of the first signs of the decay of a town is when
it cannot get up enthusiasm to support a band. The
M arion band needs support.’’

whether there is anything wr-qig

that thoughtful people lose more

T h a t luxury adds license, is par

W hen our young people hear dis

W e are very sure that youth is
susceptible to suggestion, with the
mind in the form ative stage, and,
when said veuth is relieved hy so

and, when said youth has his mind
fed twice a day by a capable press,

obtainable— we are not long in w it
