Crelghton Band Seeks Honor.
The Crelghton band , which took a
prominent part in the recent minstrel
show of the Norfolk fire department
at the Auditorium and which won fa
vor with the Norfolk audience has ap
plied to Governor Sheldon for official
recognition from him as the "Civilian
State Band of Nebraska. " The re
quest Is supported by several resi
dents of north Nebraska who are not
members of the band. The ofllcers
of the organization say if this recog
nition is given by the governor they
will play on public and official oc
casions -without compensation from
the state. There is no hint that the
band desires to accompany the gov
ernor and his staff to San Francisco
in the spring to be present at the pre
sentation of the state's silver set to
the battleship Nebraska , and few can
believe that the band Is willing to
pay its own expenses on such a trip.
The governor and his staff will be
obliged to pay their own expenses.
As there are one or two regimental
bands , a part of the organization of
the Nebraska national guard , there
may be considerable strife over the
honor of appearance on public and
official occasions. The guard bands
have generally insisted on a little re
muneration , along with the honor , and
oven then it has be"en almost Impos
sible to keep regimental bands in the
service of the guard. The Crelghton
band has twenty-four pieces and is
skeletonized for forty-eight pieces. It
s composed of business men of the
own. It has already assumed the
name "Nebraska State band. "

MANY FARMERS W7LL COME.
Next Tuesday Will be the Banner Ex
change Day , They Say.
"A banner attendance of farmers at
the February exchange day next Tues
day will show to the people of Norfolk
that we appreciate the compliments
of their invitation to lunch Tuesday ,
ns I am sure we all do , " said Ernest
Raasch who has been prominently
identified with the "exchange day"
movement ns a member of the farm
ers' committee.
"In making arrangments for the big
lunch which Is going to be a good
deal more than the word "lunch" us
ually Implies Norfolk business men
are showing a splendid bit of feeling ,
It's an act that ought to be appreci
ated.
"The exchange day Is growing. " It's
popular enough Itself to draw the
crowds. But the promise of n big
time Tuesday , when Norfolk will get
out and entertain the farmers at lunch
ought to bring a great big crowd here
and get still more people acquainted
with the merits of the exchange day
plan.
"Speaking as a farmer I want to
say that the farmers ought to turn
out , for it will bo worth it. "
FAREWELL TO "PIE BOOKS. "
Northwestern Railroad Discontinues
Meal Credit Books.
"Goodbye old 'plo book. ' "
Many an old Northwestern trainman
who found satisfaction in his "plo
book" Is mourning a new order from
Northwestern headquarters ruling that 1
no "pie books" shall be Issued to
Northwestern employes who have been
over six months in the company ser 11
vice ,
r
A "plo book" is , of course , n meal L
ticket ; better yet , it is the railroad
company's g4r ranteo that the meal
ticket will bo paid. The purpose of
'
tho'company In extending the "plo
book" privilege Is to provide boarding
house credit for its new employes.
Thus a Northwestern man can call
for a "plo book" at the Junction eating -
ing house nnd have the price of the
meat ticket chalked opposite his name.
The amount Is then sent to headquar
ters , audited and deducted by the rail
road company when pay day comes.
But the company figures that any man
who has been working for them six
months shoirftl not bo In need of the
"pie book" credit and accordingly the
six months limfa has Ixen drawn.
It is said that the course of some
brakcmcn in running the privilege into
the ground probably had something toile
ilo with the new ord'er. Not only were
mcnla bought with the "pie books , "
but cigars and other extravagances.
Som of the men bought mcafs for all
their friends. Then the "fcie boohs"
ate n big hole In their pay checks nnd
the railroad company was-said to have
stonnnil It In thn fntnrost. nT
But It is said that the real reason
of the new order is that the purpose
of the "plo book" Is really just to aid
: he new man.
