COMPOSER NOW | IN 50TH YEAR OF HIS CAREER Will Give Concert October Ist in City Audi- torium FOREMOST MUSICIAN Eminent Wizard Still Carry- ing on Despite His Age Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa, nationally known conductor and composer, is coming to Bis- marck. : That eminent musieal wizard, de- spite his 73 years, is still “carrying on” and will continue so long as the public will listen to him and his group of celebrated musicia $ His appearance in Bismarck is scheduled for October 1 when a con- cert will be given in the Auditorium. Sousa, himself, will direct the concert on the occasion of his visit to this ity. Fiftieth Year of Carcer This tour marks the fiftieth year of Mr. Sousa’s career as a composer and conductor of the best music and the event will be appropriately com- memorated this year by the nation- wide tour which includes a stop at Bismarck as well as other cities in state. Sousa is recognized universally as America’s foremost musician and his distinction as an artist is matched by his eminence as a citizen. Many persons have paid tribute to him and he has always been most modest in his acknowledgment of laudations that have come to him. His band has played a part as high- ly important as that. he sym- phony orchestra in the dissemination of musical culture throughout the United States. Sousa played Massenet’s suites on tour in this country before they were is. He played portions before any . Many cities would have no acquaintance with any of the works of Richard Strau not Sousa offered them on his tours. There has never been a symphony orchestra that has toured the coun- try so thoroughly, even once, as these organizations did and as the Sousa band is continuing to do each year. Began With Marines’ In a recent: inteyyiéw Commander Sousa related the serly stages of his career. “I ayas.conducting a musical com- edy in Philadelphia which I had writ- ten, when I attracted the attention of the secretary of the United States Navy and the Commandant of the Marine Corps,” he related. “They returned to Washington, hunted up my father, who was a veteran of both the civil and Mexican wars, and teld him that I would make a good aan for the United States Marine _ band. My father, with what he con- * sidered justifiable pride, heartily +, agreed with the two offici: I was invited to Washington and accepted f hd invitation.

So, suddenly there appeared the announcement that an organization 27 Manufacturers Could Not Pay Tribute During 1927— Others Align Themselves With Gangsters ready for members and the doctors were invited to join.

Kirby, special writer for The Tribune and NE. through its official journal, advised against joining the “league,” and thus far it has made little headway. The principal ad- vantage to the doctors invited to join was the promise that fees lo: overdue from patients would be c lected, at 25 per cent to the league. Perhaps the methods used by the collectors are methods not ordirarily sanctioned by members of the med- ical profession, for there are many ways of making.a man pay. —_ MONDAY: What Chicago is doing to clean up racketeering.

Liverpool had failed to follow the trend at Chicago and under influence of Argentine offerings trading at Liverpool was dull today. There were showers in Canada, but they were scattered and their cffect was not expected to be lasting. Corn was unchanged to Ic higher at the start but weakened in the early trading and sold below the previous close. Oats and provisions were steady. Just how far the rains and last ih joe) frost in Canada will affect shipments of the new wheat crop was problematical. Meanwhile car- lot receipts in the northwest were gaining gapidly, with 654 cars ar- riving at Winnipeg today compared with 134 last Saturday and 156 a year ago. A little softer for all deliveries, wheat remained in a narrow margin while the trade awaited the govern- ment crop forecast due next week. These were generally expected to be bearish. Good buying power at the outset gave corn a firm tone but this was aaienly lost when the buyers with- rew. Weather over the cor.. belt was favorable, although some notice was taken of predictions of frost in the northwest states tonight. WHEAT PRICES DRAGGY TODAY Minneapolis, Sept. 8.—()—Favor- able weather, increasing sprin, wheat movement on both sides of the Canadian line, disappointing cables, and quiet export demand gave wheat a craggy undertone early in today’s session. The market sagged into basi? loss orders and cracked sharp- ly late in the trading period. Close was at the low point here, prices showing losses of 2 to 2 1-8 cents for the day. Oats were firm early but turned lower with other grains. Rye broke with wheat, prices losing 2 1-8 to 2 1-2 cents. Barley futures broke on weakness in other grains and a lower cash market. Flaxseed fu- tures were firm in spite of grain weakness, Choice spring wheat was in good demand and early premiums were firm for the high protein offerings. Late demand fell off and premiums were 1 to 2 cents lower. Winter wheat offerings were light and premiums steady. Durum was steady for miling quality, which was scarce, Ordinary quality was quiet. Flour trade was good with the ma- jority of mills, the best in some time. Corn offerings were fair ‘ut coun- try offerings were lighter and local industries were fair buyers. Oats were in better demand for choice, quieter for ordinary. _ Rye was quieter for medium qual- ity, firm to strong for Rosen. Barley was steady early, but de- mand fell off and the late market was casy .to 1 cent lower. Price range was 57 to 64 cents. Flaxseed was in good demand and the market was firm. Offerings were large. CHICAGO LIVESTOCK Chicago, Sept. 8—(®)—(U. S.
