M. 1 Rain Prevented Evening Concert but Boys Played 8unday Morning to a Fair Sized Crowd The 168th infantry band, which vis ited Denison on Saturday, proved to Ue One of the best attractions we have had in along Unite. The crowd, how ever, was not as large as had "been an ticipated owing to the bad condition of the roads, but there was a goodly number of people present to enjoy the line program of music in the after^ noon. Tke evening concert had to be given up on account of the heavy rain storm, but the band played Sunday morning before their departure for gJake View^j where* they played that afternoon and evening. ,, The band was made up of some for tyinstruments and was one of the best organizations that has ever visaed Denison, every member apparently be ing a p&stab .of his particular instru ment. Lou Morgan, young banker. o{ Waterloo, was the leader, and to'w^h Kilt) one could almost imag ine it was th? famous Sousa. The af ternoon program was made up of class ics' ^witli a number of jazz selections Which'met \yith hearty approval of the crpwd.'^f*or over an hour and a half hiindreds of people stood on the blistering pavement around the tem porary band stand erected in the street just ejtft of the court house, en joying the excellent program. No one seemed to mind the intense heat and all. were sorry when the soldier boys packed up their instruments at the conclusion of the entertainment' Quite acrowd gathered early in the evening itr order to secure advantageous places for the evening concert, but they all disbursed when the rain commenced sliortly after o'clock. The band bbys, however, made their contract gdod and gave their program Sunday morning and it was enjoyed by a large^ number of Oen{|on folks. The band came to Denison under tKe auspices of the Commercial club, who enlisted the local iBoy Scout or ganization to help make the eveht a spccess. Tags Were sold at 50 cents each and it was hoped in this way to rifise the $500 guaranteed the band. The scouts.sold $270 'worth, of tidkets jHfd no doubt the guarantee would have been raised had it not been for the rain in the evening. Much credit )4 due Rev, C. B, Hamilton' and the Boy Scouts for their effort and time spent in! taking ciye of the details. The 168th infantry band is recog nized as one of the best bands in the army. It was with the famous Rain how ivisiori during the campaign in prirtice and for some time, was wtth the:army of occupation and stationed at ftoblenz. The band is almost en tirely made up of Iowa boys1 and when •they were mustered out of the service at Camp Dodge they were loath to dis band the organization' so decided to make a tour of tju state. They have been so well: received that they hare every day booked well up to the' mid dle of September, at which time they will disband as many of the boys return to the universities and college* to resume their studies. it CELEBRATES 85TH BIRTHDAY James Rollins," of Eat Boyer Town ship, Celebrates 85th Birthday on Sunday, July 13th Sunday, July 13, 1919, marked an other milestone in the age of James Rollins, of East Boyer township.
