Parker, 81, to Mrs. Luella Kennedy Moger, 73, at Los Angeles, Calif., the ceremony taking place at the First Congregational church in that city last week. Fifty-eight years ago, and again at this ceremony, Luella Kennedy Moger heard Frank A. Parker plight wedding vows. In that long ago in a little Wisconsin town, her older sister was the bride and she but a slender golden haired 15-year-old girl. But at this later ceremony, still a slender wisp of a woman, pink cheeked, but white haired, she responded to the "do you" asked by Rev. Neal D. Newlin in the study of the First Congregational church, at Los Angeles and became the wife of Frank A. Parker. At the bridegroom's side in 1872 stood Winslow Bucklin, tornrad of boyhood. At this second ceremony the same man again passed him the wedding circlet. Mrs. May Denson, a companion of later days attended the bride of the present. At the other wedding, which the three remember vividly, parents, brothers and sisters and a few friends were asembled for the ceremony and for dinner. At this wedding sons and daughters and a few friends surrounded the bridegroom of 81 and his bride of 73,, went with them from their home to the church and from there to the Virginia Hotel where the wedding feast was served to a company <of nineteen. Life has moved busily and for the most part placidly and happily for both. A few years after their first wedding the younger sister was herself a bride and the wedding took place in the Parker home and Mr. Parker' grave her in marriage. Eleven years ago Mrs. Moger was widowed and went to Los Angeles, but the years have not made life pall upon her. She has continued art work, which she has always loved, and her bridegroom gives unstinted admiration to the work of her brush. She also dances, not only the waltz and polka and schottische of half a century ago, but the new steps? and she has been devoting herself the last few weeks to teaching Mr. Parker to fox trot. This, however, has not been perfected and he is still working on the modern steps. Mr. and Mrs. Parker left Los Angeles for Seattle. They will then travel south, returning to Los Angeles (by autumn and going V>n into Texas for the winter, continuing Mr. Parker's work as traveling salesman. He has the distinction of being one of the oldest salesmen on the road, having traveled much of the time for the last sixty-one years. His first wife who died three years ago is buried in Woodland cemetery, McHenry,' traveled with him the last twelve years of her life and the new Mrs. Parker will also keep him company on the road. He has sold dozens of different articles, but is noW representing the C. W. Parker Company, Inc., of Dei Moines, Iowa, which he founded thirteen years ago for the manufacture of several specialty products and in which his son is now a partner and plant manager. Dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Parker at the Hotel Virginia were Winslow Bucklin, Mrs. Mary Denson, their attendants; Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Moger, Mildred May Moger, Huntington Park, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram H. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Parker, Rardolph Terry, Mrs. Geraldine Keith, Mrs. Lucile Shepherd, and Mi*. Essie W. Morris, Los Angeles.

BAND CONCERT There will be a band concert in the McHenry Park this evening by the McHenry Municipal Band and Tom Brows, singer. Band of Twenty-seven Pieces has Prepared For Busy Season--Play at Woodstock The first band concert of the season was held at the McHenry Park, on Thursday evening of last week and the music was enjoyed by a large crowd of listeners, who are always interested in the music furnished by tfis fine band. The McHenry band has been preparing for an active season under the direction of Prof. W. N. Sears of Barrington, having a practice every Tuesday night, and they will continue to give concerts every week throughout the season. In addition to this they opened the season at Woodstock Wednesday evening by giving a concert at the park in that city. The twenty-seven piece band is composed of many of McHenry's most experienced musicians, assisted by competent players from Woodstock, Crys tal Lake, Barrington, Palatine and Spring Grove. Tom Brown, well known soloist and radio entertainer, of Chicago, has been engaged again this year to furnish vocal numbers, accompanied by the band, at every concert and his presence, which was a big drawing card for the concerts last year, will be greeted with delight by his many friends and admirers in this vicinity. Everyone s anxious to hear this well known and popular singer, who has a voice of surpassing quality and clearness, and he is always sure to make a big hit with his listeners. The concert put on last Thursday night pleased the lovers of good music for its varied program of classical overtures, marches, intermezzos and popular selections and surpassed by far any music rendered by the band in the past and their perfect rendition of the different music denoted much time and effort spent in practice and preparation during the past year. Prof. Sears needs no words of introduction, for his merit and great inusical ability are well known in this vicinity, where he is known as an instructor and leader and the band, under his direction, is sure to be one of the best. Personnel of Band The personnel of the band is as follows: W. N. Sears, director, Barrington. Tom Brown, Singer, Crystal Lake. Trumpets--Bruce Lawrie, Woodstock; Gene Becker, Palatine; Henry Schaefer, McHenry; Charles Vycital, McHenry; John Schaeffer, McHenry; John Flotto, Crystal Lake.

Sears, will leave soon on his vacation, when his place will be filled by A1 Wiedenbeck, clarinet, of Barrington. Carl Weber is manager of the band this year and Henry J. Schaefer ?• secretary and treasurer. Band Tax Pays Bills The concerts, which are given during the summer months by the band, are made possible through the passing of the municipal band tax, which calls for a small tax levy of about one mill for municipal band purposes and although it was defeated at a previous •aieciion it was again brought up and Miss Eleanor Kreutser and Mr. Bd. Moderhack United In Marriage Saturday, July 12 Miss Eleanor Kreutzer, daughter .of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kreutzer of this city, and Mr. Ed Moderhack of Chica go were married in Chicago on Saturday, July 12.

The amount appropriated for the maintenance of the band is about $1,- 250 and this amount is not turned over to the band, but is held by the city administration to pay the bills presented by the band. Each band concert costs about S80, lights have to be paid for, music purchased and a few more uniforms were provided so that with all these expenses the band members feel satisfied if they break even each year. The levy is so'4 small that it really can not be called a tax and it gives to the community a great impetus to civic progress and one which is felt to be a distinct contribution to the community. The levy of this tax is made possible by a law passed five years ago by he IllinQjs legislature, enabling municipalities under 500,000 population to a vote on a tax levy for the maintenance of a municipal band. The guiding principle behind the law is that the cost of maintaining a communty band is shared by all and this makes the individual cost a matter of a few cents a year. In this way a musical organization is maintained which the town can be proud of without placing the burden of its support on any one element in the community. This new method of maintaining bands has received the indorsement of numerous business men and organizations throughout Illinois. Under the old method local business men made up an annual purse for the band, if there was one, and this method made the financing of the band hard, uncertain and unjust. Whatever stimulates community activity reacts to the benefit of business and McHenry surely has a boiid of which we may be proud.
