THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) A CITY BAND Progress is being made in the organization of a juvenile band under the auspices of the Association of Commerce and the Board of Education, Great enthusiasm is being shown by the younger generation under the leadership of Prof. Sor- lein. The earnest cooperation of every citizen is necessary, however, to make this venture # suc There is a wealth} of material in this city and with the proper training there should be builded here a fine organization which in years to come will afford a recruiting ground for an adult band. It has been decided to proceed as rapidly as possible with} the organization of an adult band. The committee has can-| vassed the situation thoughtfully and reached the con- clusion that if sue is to attend their efforts the band} must be wholly independent from any special control but be} simply a city band whose members will play upon public} occasions without pay. It will be known as the Bismarck City Band. Instruction will be furnished free to the members as} well as music and some of the larger instruments. There should be twenty-five or thirty musicians in Bis- marck who would be willing to devote some time to an organ- ization such as this. Other citizens give of their-time and money for the upbuilding of the city without remuneration —a contribution in effort they willingly expend for the city’s welfare. As the city grows and a park board is created so that the band can be employed for series of summer concerts payment doubtless will be made as unusual demands are ed of the band members. In the meantime civic pride should be sufficient induce- ment to build here a band that would serve the city on special occasions. That service can only come from a band supported} by a city organization representative of every class of citizenry. . ® A NECESSARY BUREAU credit bureau is now under way and has begun to the needs of the city. Not all of its work is ef a direct nature such as rating and collection — but there other functions it performs largely educational. Through ments and other means of publicity this organiza- tion preaches the wisdom of the prompt settlement of ac- counts each month—employment of the check system for settling obligations and other orderly systems of keeping one’s credit beyond reproach. There is a place for an organization of this kind and it} shculd be supported by these who do a credit busine The} response to the efforts of the organizers has been highly | satisf. and a survey of the bureau’s membership shows earnest cooperation.

The Scientific Monthly says: ‘The neophobic patient | shows marked aversion and resentment at the sight of any-! thing new. The disease is very prevalent and there are no} drugs known that will cure it, except poisons. We all seem to carry about the germs of it, for any of us is liable to mani- fest mild symptoms, and in certain countries and certain, centuries it has been epidemic.” | Anyone who has ever tried to put over a new idea or; introduce a new device or method, will realize that much of the difficulty encountered can be classed as neophobic. Most people are suspicious of anything new, though in| fairness it must be admitted that this is partly because they | have been stung so many times by the new. The Scientific Monthly points out that the first printed | books had to be sold as manuscripts because of the preju- | dice against printing. The learned men of Italy sneered at! the invention as a barbarous German innovation. When bathtubs were invented, about 80 years ago, preju- dice rose so violently against them that Virginia levied a'y tax of $30 a year on each tub and Boston passed a municipal ordinance making bathing in a bathtub unlawful except | when advised by a doctor.

On the other hand is other type of mental unbalance, not quite as clearly de. ined —a craze for perpetual experimentation, :a chronic aversion to anything old. * The Scientific Monthly puts this cracker on its discussion: ‘Neophobia in the material world is now practically non- sxistent.

His nand was outstretched toward the knob [of Rriskow's door, when the one ad- iSoining opened and, from the office he himself had so long occupied Calvin Gray spoke to him, “Please step in here, Colonel.” stiffly, reluctantly, as if impelled by some force outside of himself, Nelson stepped within, but he ig- nored the chair that was proficred him. “Come! I've no time to waste.” “You will soon have ample ti if not to waste, at least to 1 tate” “What do you mean by The query came sharpl “I’ve had an examin: bank's books readily unde sent for you,” “Why—no, I | “I wondered how you and your father got the money to keep going so long, for I discovered you were in a bad way even before I turned up.

That’s n-nothing— nothing serious.” Nelson’s ruddy color had slowly vanished; with un- certain hand he reached for .the nearest chair, and upon it he leaned as he continued, jerkily: “Irregular, Ine "ll admit it was irregular, jbut—-there's nothing wrong— Oh, jyou’ll make it look as bad as pos- sible, under: how, I dare say!

Iiverybody else knows it, if you don’t. ‘Irregular’ Ha! There's 2 choice of words!" The speaker laughed silently. “It is an Virregularity, that carries with it 'free board and lodging at the state’s expense.” | An incoherent protest issued from don’t . Any- Nelson's throat. When next he managed to make himself audible, his words were such as really to amaze his hearer. “I he cried, in a panie-stricken voice. “It was father's idea! You had us crowded—there was no other way. I warned him—” “Wait a minute! You blame it on him?” Gray's inquiry was harsh, in- credulou After a momentary pause his lips moved, but for once he stammered, his ready tongue re- fused its duty. He exploded, final- ly, with an oath; he jerked open a drawer in his desk. From his poc- ket he removed his revolver, flung it inside, then jammed the drawer back into place with a crash. “You— rat!” he exclaimed. He turned his back upon Henry Nelson and made a circuit of the little room, “It's a thing you and I can easily fix up,” the latter feebly insisted. “Now that personal matter of yours ~Perhaps I could help you reopen it somehow, clear it up.” “Ah! Indeed!” ‘ “Give and take, I say. I'm will- ing to do anything I can, if-—" didn’t do it,” aan yan SETA EP ENO ‘my “You'll do that, anyhow,” Gray replied, in a voice that grated. He flung himself into his desk chair and, seizing pen “and paper, he be- gan to write rapidly, shakily.- “I want to see what I’m signing,” Nelson warned. A grow! was his answer, For an interminable time the only sound in the office was the scratch- ing of that pen. When at last it came to an end, Gray rose, thrust the loose sheets into Nelson’s hand, then, indicating the vacant chair, sai “Sign that!” : The wretched recipient of this curt. command read the lines care- fully. He read them twice, thrice, for his mind no longer functioned clearly. He raised a sick face, final. ly, and shook his head. : “Wouldn't queried, “Listen, you” Gray's body was shaking, his words were uneven. “I'm sorry for Bell, but-not for you. I'l never forget nor forgive what you did to me. Nothing can undo that.’ Disgrace clings to a man.

But I'll help Bell get the money to repay those loans, He'll proba- bly manage to save himself and— save you, too.” Like-a man fighting some hyp- notic influence stronger than his will, Henry took up the pen and signed his name waveringly. ‘The next moment Gray smote the door to Briskow’s office a heavy blow and, as it flew open, he barked: “Come in here! All three of you!” He stood aside as Gus, Ben- nett Swope, and Senator Lowe en- tered. “Yonder is a _ statement which I want you.to read and wit- When you've done that, I'ng to tell you why Henry Nel it.

I dunno as Td of be so easy on him if I'd been in your place “Pl tell you why T was easy on him,” Gray confessed. “I’m - tired of fighting; I'm worn out. I've won my point, and he'll carry the sort of load T've been carrying, But there is this difference: for him there will be no vindication at the end.” Taking from his pocket on's tement, he stared ot then lowly his face lightened, “D'you know why J felt this thing so keenly? Why I fought so long? Of course you don't, for I've held out on you. Fact! [ve held out on partner—had a sceret for him. Now then, steel yourself for a sur- prise.

She would be mighty glad, too was speaking, and in his a new, vibrant quality, ‘ow you'll know why new vigor, this is the biggest day of my life; why I thought those men would never go.

Real Estate and Insurance,” he paused. The mere sight of the little wooden building, the name, —ghve him an odd shortness of breath, ~ It was weeks since he had been here. It was a disappointment to find the office empty, except for the father himeelf, but Gray began: with 4 rush, “Well, I told you I'd clear myself, and--here I am, walking, on air.” “You did news.” “We had a show-down at the bank.
