Show "In offering the people of Ogden a free band concert tonight in the tabernacle, we feel that we are doing a real service to the community. All who attend the concert will forget for an hour or two th worries and cares of life and will be lifted into a world of harmony and aesthetic beauty. There is something about, music that elevates the soul and lifts the emotions into higher realms. Ordinarily we think we get more of life's richness and beauty through the sense of sight than for any other sense, but when we have ourselves over to the charms and delights of sweet music—we are sure that it is the ear that gives direct access to the realms where, the highest, the purest, the best within us dwell. AS DIVINE ART. "Some one has appropriately said that, music is the only art that has not been prostituted to a base purpose, and in a measure this seems to be wondrously true. So it is quite fitting that we speak of music as a divine art. It appeals to the divine measure. We promise all who attend the concert tonight, a soul-refreshing, a joyous, happy, glorious time." 2-19-26 OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES NOTICE TO RADIO FANS. One of the greatest problems of radio reception at the present time in the eradication of interference caused by regenerative radio receiving sets. This form of interference and that which is created by the operation of vibrator types of battery charges has become so troublesome that the Ham-And club has determined to better the situation. Because of the fact that the owners of regenerative sets let them oscillate merely through the lack of knowledge of their proper operation, the Ham-And club offers to instruct the said owners in the best and most efficient way in which to work the respective sets. If, on the other hand, you, the owners of regenerative sets, cannot keep your sets from oscillating in their present condition try cutting down the resistance of the grid leak, cutting down the "A" battery current, cutting the voltage of the detector "B" battery, or reducing the inductance or capacity of your regeneration control. Furthermore, as the club is searching for them, any information as to the whereabouts of the troublesome sets will be sincerely appreciated. —Warren Cross, Reporter. VISITS GAS PLANT.

BEGGARS ALL. Mark Twain knew human nature pretty well. He often made us feel that we ought to reform. Read this, for instance, and feel the blood rush to your face: "The coat of arms of the human race ought to consist of a man with an ax on hiss shoulder proceeding toward a grinding stone. Or, it ought to represent the several members of the human race holding out the hat to each other. For we are all beggars. Each in his own way. One beggar is too proud to beg for pennies, but will beg a loan of dollars, knowing he can't repay; another will not beg a loan, but will beg for a postmastership; another will not do that, but will beg for an introduction to 'society'; one, being rich, will not beg a hod of coal of the railway company, but will beg a pass; his neighbor will not beg coal nor pass, but in social converse with a lawyer will place before him a suppositious case in the hope of getting an opinion out of him for nothing; one who would disdain to beg for any of these things will beg frankly for the presidency. None of the lot is ashamed of himself, but he despises the rest of the mendicants. Each admires his own dignity, and carefully guards it, but in his own opinion the others haven't any." Thursday Evening 2-19-26 BAND TRAINING GIVES SURPRISE Overflow Crowd Appears to Hear Musicians of Ogden High At the Ogden High school band concert, given Wednesday night in the Tabernacle, scores stood up throughout the performance, and hundreds were turned away. The audience was completely captivated by the performance. Expressions of surprise were heard on every hand, many declaring they had never dreamed that Ogden had such a wonderful musical organization. The program as printed in Wednesday's Standard-Examiner was given in full, every number receiving tremendous applause. Principal A. M. Merrill made the few opening remarks, telling something of the history and purpose of the organization, complimenting those in charge and those participating, and asked for the support and encouragement of all Ogden people that the band might maintain indefinitely its present high efficiency. A feature that was most surprising to the audience was the nature of the selections presented—all being classics from the world's best masters. The William Tell overture, the second number on the program, was splendidly played—and gave the audience promise of the variety and beauty that should follow. The promise was fulfilled as each number was increasingly more appealing and the climax was fairly reached at the end when "The Stars and Stripes Forever." by Sousa, was given in masterful style. "From the many complimentary remarks that have been made about the band today we are sure all Ogden is with us now, and ready and eager to render any assistance of support within their power to maintain the great R. O. T. C. band," said Principal Merrill. BAND INVITED TO GARY TESTS 2-21-26 O.H.S.
