While it is known that bands, or at least musicians, were on United States ships prior to 1825, very little is known about their organization. In that year, it is recorded, one sailor was promoted to the position of bandmaster, and two others, to that of musician. However, 1838 marks the beginning of the first real service band recognized as such on the official pay-table of the Navy Register. Gradually other bands were organized, but not until the outbreak of the world war were they recruited to full strength and equipped with the best instruments. From the meagre group of 18 men which was the United State Navy Band in 1919 there emerged in 1923 the sterling organization of 63 musicians led by, Lieut.

Republican- State Chairman M. Harvey Taylor on Wednesday sent a congratulatory message to Senator Mason Owlett, whose Democratic opponent, Alvin M. Whitney, nominated in April, withdrew from the contest. The message: "Congratulations! Withdrawal of yourT)emocratic opponent as a candidate is equivalent to admission that no Democrat can successfully oppose you. This Democratic confession of defeat is in accord with reports received at headquarters here pf overwhelming Republican sentiment in Northern Tier counties.

It is to be hoped that whoever is chosen to fill the Democratic gap may be truly typical of the New Deal, so that there may be no escape from the paramount issue of this campaign. "Democratic bosses had boldly marked you as the center of their attack, in the hope of turning the state Senate over to the tender mercies of Governor Earle.

A $33,000,000,000 Millstone By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic If a fanner or a business man finds himself deep in debt bis first aim is to find some method of reducing it. That goes for the housewife, tool All recognize a heavy burden of debt as a millstone around the neck of any individual, or firm, or family that is attempting to keep its affairs on a successful basis. Moreover, they all know the effective method of solving their problem.

It is Economy. But the politicians, during recent years, to think they have found a happier solution. Instead of trying a reasonable economy, they have been turning to a program of increased expenditures, increased extravagance, deeper plunges into, the spreading pool of red ink. This indicated by the way they have been boosting the Public Debt. It probably explains why the Federal Debt alone has risen, steadily from approximately $19,000,000,000 in 1932, to $27,000,000,000 in 1934, and to an til-time high of more than $33,000,000,000 for 1936.

It's an alluring method to the politicians. But it's less attractive to the farmer and the business man and the housewife, who know that they must pay the debts which politicians create. And it becomes still less attractive when they realize that public debt is actually an obscured method of adding to our taxes with the bills niarked for a later date or of piling up a heritage of liens against the future earnings of our children. But the mere realization of these facts on the part of the public isnt enough. If the fanner and the business man and the housewife want to stop the piling up of bins for them and their children to pay in added labor and added sacrifice and higher prices, they must make the politicians face the facts, too.
