making our town lavorably known than the reputation tho McCook baud has Many people who do not know whoro McCook is located know the band and the admiration for it extends to tho town The reputation of our band is not con fined to this immediate territory or to the state but it is favorably known in adjoining states and as tho prize winner in Denver All our citizens feel a pride in this musical organization and in a number of ways wo have received bene fits by its popularity I am afraid some of our people do not appreciate tho advantage of having this musical organization in our town Tho McCook band has paid for its instru ments and uniforms and owns them and all the money it has received from our citizens or from our city has been in pay ment for entertainmonts the same as wo would have paid any other company for In this connection it is only justice to mention the time that has been given by tho leador and a number of the members entirely without pay and also to mention the assistance given by tho B M rail way and several of its ofiicials hereto encourage and keep up the organization It is possible somo of our citizens fool that somo of tho members of tho band have made money out of it but this is a mistake and there is no question but if they had used the same time and energy in doing something else or attending to their own lines of business in a financial way they would havo been very much further ahead Outside of the member ship very few people know how much work it takes to keep a musical organi zation of this kind together There is probably no town in this western coun try that has had a band anything equal to the McCook band that has not donat ed liberally to its support When the band has been away from home it has been the wonder of a great many how a town of this size would support an or ganization of such merit It has only been clone through tho self sacrifice of the leader and a number of the prominent members and tho assist ance of the B M ofiicials and now it probably remains with our citizens as to whether this organization con be kept up Tho most of the members of tho band have been in the service of the railroad company a number in the train service Men employed this way aro out of town a great part of the time and it is almost impossible to get them together for re hearsals or for concerts In order to have an organization of this kind it seems as though it will 10 necessary for tho business men to take hold of the matter and furnish employ ment to musicians who can be procured by thb band If such positions can not be furnished it can hardly be expected that new material can be taken and mu sicians made out of them It takes too long to train beginners and it seems nec essary to procure members who are good amateur players We will certainly have a summer Nor mal school and owing to our fairly pros perous condition it seems that our busi ness people can hardly afford to have no concerts during the summer The band concerts have been the means of bring ing people in from the surrounding coun try as well as from tho surrounding towns and the enjoyment our own people has received from them has certainly been worth all they have cost tho city or the citizens After talking with several in regard to open air concerts during the summer it seems necessary that positions must bo furnished by our business people for a number of musicians The matter of raising money to pay for the concerts does not seem to be the ob stacle at present Doubtless the city council would contribute and our busi ness men would gladly raise any defi ciency they might be called on for In this case it is not a matter of money to pay for the concerts but it is a question of positions among our business people for musicians Shall we have band con certs A Barnett President Southwest Nebraska Indus trial Association McCook Neb April 9 1903 What a Dollar Will Do It will pay for the Hitchcock County Herald one of the best papers
