THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (E8tablished 1873) BISMARCK’S JUVENILE BAND it necessary to have the whole hearted cooperation of the community to make the Juvenile Band & success Seventy or more students of the public schools are receiving free musical instruction through the cooperative efforts of the Bismarck Board of Education and the Association of Commerce. Thirty-five of the most advanced of these will appear in a free municipal concernt at the Auditorium on the afternoon and evening of February 14, These youthful icians have been holding almost daily practices so as to vive a creditable performance. The Auditorium should be packed to the roof for both appearances. The chief object of those who have interested themselves in the development of this band is educational. It will take probably several years to produce a band that will meet all requirements, but Bismarck is on the right path musically in taking th youthful musicians and affording them ade- quate instruction. Not much money is needed to finance this project. To date the Bismarck Juvenile Band has not made one solicita- tion for funds except in the form of ticket sales for the vari- ous benefits but in each of these instances the production was worth the price asked. In view of the fact that residents of Bismarck have re- sponded so well in the past, it was thought advisable to make the first band concert a free affair with a silver offering for those who care to contribute to the support of this most worthy project. As time goes on and the public shows appreciation of the efforts being put forward, this city will have a musical organization whose fame will spread through the state and reflect the civic spirit for which Bismarck is so well known. : 2 Support the Juvenile Band by all means. THE FLAW DETROIT Kresge Bldg. BURNS AN p The ability to “get along” genially with other people is u absolutely essential in the battle for success. The longer you watch the careers of people you know, the more you will be impressed with the fact that the man who is hard to get along with labors under a tremendous handicap. Occasionally you find a man with a bad temper, or other- wise objectionable disposition, who has somehow managed to become highly successful. But this man is the exception. And if you wait long enough, you'll see him destroyed by his inability to get along with others. Such a man has succeeded in spite of his disposition. He would have progressed further if he had heen more likable. Life is a pretty hard game. Most people have big natural handicaps—of ability, lack of powerful influence and money. But one of the greatest assets a man can have is a pleasant disposition. It costs nothing. It helps mightily. Pleasant- ness is not always a natural gift. It can be developed, by self-control. A pack of wolves is always led by the one that can fight and whip any of his followers. That originally was the army system—the best fighter led the band of warriors. So with kings —the strongest and best fighter ruled the rest We are, fortunately, considerably advanced from that state. Life now is a co-operative proposition. And the man who is unable to subordinate himself on behalf of the mutuai endeavor is doomed to lose out. “Fhe individual is never as important as the organization. The star player is the man who primarily wants the team to *win. - Pleasant disposition is oil for the machinery. “Unpleasant, disposition is sand in the gears. grind sand to powder. TWENTY-TWO POUND BABY Did you read about the 22-pound baby born recently in New York City? Every woman on earth would be interested in this baby—walk blocks to see it. It’s a girl, Rosa. When shé came into the world she was 26 inches tall, nearly 16 inches around the chest. A delightful baby, healthy, cooing. gurgling. If you want to break up a dry di: mention this baby. Babies in general can’t get too much attention. They later; will shoulder, and possibly solve ,the frightful mess our generation has made of the world’s affairs. The mother of the baby is 46. gears old. had had 10 children. In all, 11. Almost a marvel, that figure, in our generation. And gears cussion of polities, just She: already Turn back in a family album and you find that the mother of 114 in former times was not exceptional enough to attract any attention. 2There’d be just as big. average families now, if parehts had the money. High cost of living is the real reason for race suicide. ‘ ROAD-RUNNERS For every yes, there’s a no. For every poison, an anti- dote. For every evil influence, a counteracting agent.’ Con- sider, for instance, /the “road - runner” of the southwest. Swift bird, runs like a baby ostrich. Spying a rattlesnake asleep, the road-runner plucks pieces of cactus, piles them like a wide fence around Mr. Rattler. The poisonous snake wakens.
