FIRST ANNUAL PICNIC OF THE
ILLINOIS CLUB A MARKED
SUCCESS.
Tho first annual picnic of the re
qontly organized Illinois Clu;b "was
held, at tho City Park on Thursday,
Soptcmbor 1, 1921. About sixty mom.
bers of tho Club camo out to have a
gooU time. The feeling of comrade
ship was very noticeable,' as many o
tho Nebraska pioneors mot and ro-
, counted thoir experiences of long ago
when their parents were pioneers of
tho state of Illinois There they toolc
up homesteads and raised families,
part of whom upon reaching their ma
jorlty came to Nebraska and, as his
tory ropeats itsolf, took up home
stoajds and became successful pro
ducers as well as doing their part in
the commercial, educationnl and re
ligious life of tho country of their a
doption. The members of this asso
ciation aro no longer young, but an
tho sun rose on tho beginning of their
efforts when their parents were plo
neors so the sun is now setting on the
finishing of the work started by them
In Nebraska and which will be carried
on by the dear children who tako thoir
places. These aro not ess capable of
performing the duties of 'life' than
wcro their parents, tho the effect of
tho horrors of war was felt by mnnv
of them. Young In years, they were
not too young to realize, "Whom the
Lord loveth, He chastonoth." Hor
shey, Sutherland, Maxwell anl other
small towns were represented as well
as North Platto and tho surroun'dlng
country. Tho dinner consisted of frio.1
spring chicken and evory other known
thing that is good to eat, including
bushels of melons grown on the farms
of members.
The following persons gave
talks on thoir experiences before anri
after leaving Illinois: Mr. Meadows,
Mr. Ailrews, Geo. Austin and O. D.
Shaner. Mr. I. L. Stebblns spoke on
Organization and Co-operation. The
music of the Walker colored jazz ban,i
from 12 m. to 1 p. m. was good. I. L.
