Bachman’s Band Plays Many Return Dates A notable thing about Harold Bachman’s Million Dollar Band, which will appear at the Bismarck auditorium next Friday is the fact that its season each year includes such a large proportion of return engagements. For example this sea- son, after closing its third success- ful engagement of 14 weeks in beau- tiful Plant Park in Tampa, Florida, the band went to Dothan, Alabama, where it has appeared five times in the last six years. Then it went to Atlanta, Georgia, for its fourth en- agement in that southern metropo- is, Other return engagements on the itinerary of this splendi entertainers during their son include Arthur, Illinois, county fair for the third consecutive time, Princeton, Ind., fair for the third consecutive time, Kentucky state fair at Louisville for the second time, making the fifth appearance of the band in Louisville, and the Kentucky trotting races in Lexing- ton for the fifth consecutive time, making the seventh appearance of this band in Lexington, Ky. Chilli- cothe, Ohio, and Springfield, Ohio, will have Bachman’s band this fall for the third appearance in the same theatres. Other return engagements before the band returns to Florida next winter will include a series of con- certs over radio station WLS at the Sherman hotel in Chicago and an- other series in December over Sta- tion WSB from the Atlanta Bilt- more hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, The appearances at these stations are also return engagements by popular request. In many cities concerts by Bachman’s Band are annual events. Order Improvements in Kempton Yards Increased interest in stock raising and heavy purcha: of fa ma- chinery by persons in the vicinity of Kempton warrant an order to the Great Northern railroad to im- prove its stockyard and loading plat- form at that place, the state rail- road board has decided in a case presented to it by Kemptcn citizens. Testimony taken by the board and reviewed in its decision showed that the number of carloads of stock shipped from Kempton is incr ing annually due to the growth in the number of sheep. | “Sheep raising is increasing more rapidly than other stock and has trebled in the last two or three years.” the board found. “Sheep shipments from Kempton are mostly of native stock, little or no western sheep being shipped into the station for feeding in the fall.” Facilities Said Inadequate _ Inadequate facilities at the ship- ping point have made it necessary for stock to be kept in a lumber yard near the loading pens or on a farm nearby because the loading ns were full, the board found. In 1924 only three carloads of stock were shipped from the station. In 1925 the number was 22, in 1926 it was 26 and for the first seven months of 1927 it was 15. : Despite the protest of the rai’ road that it would cost $2,000, the 1928, and ordered that the present loading platform be raised to) the level of the ordi flatear. Whether a permanent P tform or a temporary on- to be furnished by the railroad when needed shall be erected was left by the board to the railroad and the farm machinery shippers to decide by agreement. hen the Northern Pacific rail- road agreed to build an additional cattle pen at DeLamere a petition by residents of that place was dismissed ‘by the board.

State tax reéeipts for October should show a marked increase, he said, and should reach their peak in November when county auditors will report the results of thelr October collections. His records, Steen said, are always a month behind those of the-various county auditors who are charged by law with collecting the money. The percentage of this year’s tax collected up to October 1 was 54.5, Steen's figures showed, whereas at the same time. last year the state levy was 57.13 per cent collected. The total levy for 1926 was $3,842,- 815.98 and the total collected to date is $2,094,439.08, Experiments with fish show that, unlike humans, the warmer the tem- erature the greater their food con- umption.
