MUSICIANS HAVE FINE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN U. S. BANDIn this issue of The Tribune appearsan advertisement for musicians to become members of the fourth Regiment band, the organization which is to succeed the Fairfield band.Thirty-two members are required by the government before the band can be designated the official band of the new United States regiment which has been created in Iowa ,of which Fairfield furnishes one company.Because of so many members of the local band being in the army and because many others are beyond the age limit of forty-five years, or under that of eighteen years, it has been found difficult to recruit the band membership from strictly ^ local sources. For this reason the band is advertising for members who may reside within a reasonable distance, thirty or forty miles, of Fairfield.Musicians who have ability to play any band instrument passably well and who are within the prescribed age limits are eligible to membership. It I is not necessary that they should have had band experience.| This is a very fine opportunity for musicians to acquire excellent musical instruction together with high class military training. The band is not to be a state national guard organization but is under the direct supervision of the United States government.Musicians desiring to take advantage of the opportunity offered are urged to make application at once 1 either in person or by letter to theBand Leader, Fairfield, or at the Armory.Tearing Down Old Landmark.Work of razing the old livery bam on North Main street, purchased last spring by George Stever, is in progress. The rear and principal part of the structure was erected in 1876 and the front part of the building at an earlier date, probably about 1870. This building is the last of the frame buildings standing in the business part of the town and its passing will not be viewed with any great degree of regret by those citizens who feel a pride in the appearance of the city.Small Farm Regular Gold Mine.St. Ansgar, la.—Proof that this is the garden spot of the United States for food production is shown by the figures from the eighty acre farm owned by Joseph Sedlacek, verified by the First National bank of Ansgar. From this small farm Mr. Sedlacek this year sold food products valued at$20,916.Mr. Sedlacek sold 210 head of hogs for $9481. He took in $11,435 from thirty-nine acres in garden crops as follows: Twelve acres onions $7,335;sixteen acres potatoes, $2,500; eleven acres cabbage ,$1,600.Objectors Get Fifteen Years.Des Moines.—^Privates Joseph L. Walter of Bridgewater, S. !., and Joseph S. Wurz of Freeman, S. D., members of the depot brigade medical detachment at Camp Dodge and conscientious objectors, have been sentenced to fifteen years each at hard labor in the United States disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan*
