Little German Band Is in Town and
COMMITTEES IN CHAKliE ARE
BUSY ON THE FINAL DE-
TAILS OF PLANS.
Id BE BEST IN HISTORY
All Texas and thousands of people
from other sections of the country are
eagerly anticipating San Antonio's
1913 Fiesta, San Jacinto and Battle of
Flowers week, which opens one week
from tomorrow, Monday, April 21.
The advance guard of strangers and
visitors will move on the city this
week, and before Saturday it is ex-
pected that every hotel, rooming and
hoarding-house in the city will be
taxed almost to capacity.
The railroads this year have pre-
pared to handle the greatest crowds
in the history of the annual celebra-
tion of Texas independence, and there
is every reason to believe that during
Fiesta week there will be between
75,000 and 100,000 visitors in the city.
The Fiesta Association of the Cham-
ber of Commerce will be the busiest
organization in the country this week,
clearing away the mass of details
which always pile up at the last mo-
ment. but President Atlee B. Ayres
has issued the official announcement
that all will be in readiness on Mon-
day, April 21, opening day.
"There Is #1111 u lot of work for the
rurloiis committees of Hip KieHtu Associa-
tion to do," said President Ayres venter
day. "We feel sure, however, that ull of
oni- pliins will liave 'matured by the end
of this week and fill of the events of the
week will be handled without the slightest
hitch or difficulty. There Is only one
tiling to prevent the 11113 Fiesta from l>e-
Iiir the great and Ix'st on record, and that
Is Inclement weather, but we are hoping
and praying for the best, and we are sure
of getting the crowds."
San Antonio will tomorrow begin to take
on its gala dress of brilliant and vivid
colored flags atid streamers of bunting,
with the Kiestn colors—orange and greeu —
In the predominance.
The decorators are to start work on
Houston Street and by the middle of I he
week the entire business section of the
city, Including the main thoroughfares
which lead to the depots, will be In holi-
day dress.
Thousands of bright colored electric
lights will make the streets as bright as
day at night, aud many of the merchants
have arranged for special Illuminations for
their plai-es of business during the week.
All of the decorating and Illuminating
will be dune under the supervision of
t'halrmnn l\ I, King and bis assistants,
Tom Brown, ,l. F. I'Vutliniin, Franz Groos
liny parade committee,
and .1. 11. Savage.

We Know That Spring Is Here
WW
Seasonable Offerings
"At the Big Crockery Store" on Commerce St.
This "BIG STORE" is tilled with things you need in the home and
about -the home. Highest quality coupled with lowest prices and the
big assortments make this store the logical place to do your shopping.
Here are a few timely suggestions:
Spring Is here now aud no mistake! The last shadowy doubt of its arrival has been dispelled! The last sure harbinger of
the season iu which "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love" and the rest of it, has made its appearance. The
German Band has hit town.
Yesterday the chill in the air might well have caused those who had purchased straw lints and new spring suits to ques-
tion their wisdom in doing so, but on thai same chili air came plaintive strains which straightway caused such foolish doubts
to vanish. The German Baud was making Its rounds of serenades, and certainly spring must be here.
The German Band is fast becoming an institution. Following the custom of the modern troubadours of Germany (If "trou-
badour" can be applied to a German), this picturesque quintet of musicians tour the country taking with them "neither purse
nor scrip" and depending upon the generosity of their chance auditors for support. In the spring they strike Texas in the
course of their rambles and remain until the very hot weather again drives them farther North. Since their visit last year
they have traveled thousands of miles and have been over seven other States besides Texas, they being Colorado, Wyoming,
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma aud Louisiana.
During their present visit to San Antonio they will remain about a week, after which they will go to San Marcos. Jacob
Meisenheimer is the business bend of the party, and first violin in the band. Adolf Shuler plays the "big bass fiddle," and
the remainder of the band Is composed of three brothers, Adolf. Karl and l'eter Mahler, who play second violin, cornet and
clarinet respectively. They are a happy family of wandering minstrels who possess all of the romantic spirit of their tribe.
They take philosophically whatever fortune the chances of the road bring to them and go on their way making the world
brighter with their music in true happy-go-lucky fashion.
As stated at the outset, they are here this week—and with them has come the spring!
M Morgan, lingo Goodman, Gus Heye, D.
,1. Straus, Alfred Duerler and Tom Leigh-
ton, reported yesterday that fifteen or
twenty additional entries had been secured
for this event, which will be given on
Thursday afternoon.
Attractive float* are being prepared by
the merchants and business houses who
have made entries and many novel con-
celts in the way of exhibits of "Made in
Han Antonio" goods will be shown to the
public.
PLENTY OP MIMIC PROVIDER
"We are dosing up our final contracts
for more hands than we ever had before," j
said .1. F. IVntimuti, chairman of the mu-
sic committee, yesterday. "There will be
music all day long aud late Into the night
every day of Fiesta week, and every par-
ade will have its full quota of musical or-
fanliatloiiH. We are going to present ser-
iral novelties «<• the people this yaar ami
I am sure that they will be pleased with
our efforts."
The other members of the music com-
mitter are Charles Graebuer, William Ueb-
bsrdt, O. A. Hose, W. M. Smith, Lloyd
Kpencer and Tom Leighton. They have
romnleted final arrangements for the big
musical festival and band contests which
•rill be held on Tuesday afternoon and
night. the contest taking place «t Bee-
thoven hall. There will be twenty hands
from as many towns In Texas to parti-
cipate In this contest and over $.100 in
rash prizes has been offered. A nominal
id mission fee will be charged for the con-
test and all of the pro<<eeds will be donated
py the Fiesta Association to the building
fund of the Protestant Orphans' Home.
All of the contracts have been let for

Fiesta last year, aud this week, the com-
mittee, composed of K. .1. II. Meier, chair-
man; F. A. Chupn, Hugo Goodman. George
C. Saur nnd R. T. Pruitt, will be busy
allotting the space to the various con-
cessions.
These concessions are separate and dis-
tinct from those under the direction of the
Rice and l)ore Water Carnival Company,
which has been granted the general side
show and concession contract by the Fiesta
Association.
The directors of the association have not
as yet made any decision on the loca-
tion of the shows this year. As stated
several days ago, this nuestlon has been
left to the merchants and business men on
Main, Military and Alamo plazas to de-
cide. They have formally petitioned the
directors to place these shows on the
plazas, but tuls will not be done unlens
a sufficient sum of money is aubscribsd
to the Fiesta to offset the bonus of $T)00
offered for the use of Bowen's Island by
W. H. Bice, director of the Wltff Car-
nival Company.
The advertising committee aud the rail-
road committee of the Fiesta have com-
pleted their tasks, anil they are helping
out the other committees on the final de-
tails. These two committees are om-
posed respectively of Kmil Frank, chair-
man; C. M. Cain. Charles Graebner, James
Kapp, L. B. Clegg and Joseph Emer-
son Smith, and J. H. Savage, chairman;
Charles Graebner, C. M. Cain, Emll Frank

Alaska Refrigerators

refrigerators, and hy its perfect system of warm and cold air
flues follows nature's principle—that warm air rises and cold
air drops makes the Alaska" the best refrigerator manufac-
tured.

erators before buying a refrigerator—if you want to save
money on ice bills, and get refrigerator satisfaction.
