Can the business men of Tescott afford to let it die? We don't think so. Why not pass a subscription paper around and get the will of the business men? If they are not interested enough in a band to subscribe something for its support, then let it die. If they will take a hold and subscribe for the maintenance of a band, then let's get busy.

Speak to the band boys about playing in the business houses on Saturday evening a- bout once a month. Subscribe, help to maintain a band and then make the band boost the town. Somebody pass the paper. Miss Ruth Morton was a Salina visitor Wednesday. Have you noticed that glare on main street at night? That is Street Bro's.
