Beautiful Holiday Party.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Walker, just south of town, was
the scene of an unique Washing
ton birthday parly, given by Mrs.
G. II. Gilmore and Miss Margie
Walker, and in which a score of
lady friends partook. Each lady
appeared in an old colonial gown
lischu, corsage, pannier and
powdered hair was a picture of
revolutionary limes. The guests
assembled promptly at 1 :iiu and
a three-course luncheon was
served. After refreshments an
hour of amusements common in
the time of Washington were in
dulged in. The Virginia reel was
danced and the artists drew
crayon pictures of Washington.
Those iood in riddles tried their
band at "auto race." A medley
composed of sixteen old tunes our
grandparents knew was played
upon the piano, and a guessing
contest followed. Mrs. G. W.
Uoedeker recognized fourteen of
the sixteen, from "Auld Lang
Syne" down to "Pop (Joes the
Weezel." In "hanging the
Britisher," a large crayon pic
lure of a tree, with a hangman's
noose suspended from one of its
bare limbs, was fastened to the
wall. The contestant was given
a paper English soldier, and while
blindfolded tried to place his neck
as near to the rope as possible.
In a contest, on all games Mrs.
Lloyd, Gapen carried oil' the
honors. When the colonial
ladies were about to depart they
were invited to attend a "Boston
tea party," in which tea, cakes
and candy were served. The tea
parly was under (ho able guid
ance of Miss Ogla Minford. Those
present were: Mesdames Lloyd
Gapen, G. M. Minford, C. D.
Spaugler, William Hamilton, M.
Fredrich, John Fan-is, H. G. Todd,
J. M. Holmes, G. W. Doedeker, D.
C. Rhoden, Joe Cook, Jeff Hrendel,
Arthur Baker, Misses Ida Doedek
er, Gertrude Long, Clee Apple

Todd.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express, our most
heartfelt thanks to the many kind
friends who aided us in the sick
ness and death of our baby and
for the beautiful floral tributes.
May the same kindly treatment
be shown them as was given us.

Boy Scouts Organize.
The solution of the Mexican
trouble has about been solved in
Murray through the organization
of the "Boy Scouts." Dale Dooley

Women Suffrage in Nebraska.

next fall. Nebraska will soon join
the ranks. She has never been
behind very long on the questions
of importance and most generally
settle them right.
Not many object to women vot
ing, but a few put up such excuses
as these: "If the women want the
ballot, lei the women say so by
voting." That is the question of
the day all right; but we are not
soso selfish as to want an election
all to ourselves.
But to be serious. I personally
know of a number of men of this
preciiut who did not vote last fall
and it was a presidential year and
their reason for not voting was
that they were not interested
enough to make the effort. Hut
would that, justify the depriving
