About five o'clock that evening we ctme to Dry Creek wit ii no bride. There is n: water hre in dry weather, but had rained Ih. it morning and I lie creek was full ami several cars were stalled on each side, and some had pitched their tents to stay. We thought we would, but there was a big cloud coming up and the creek was going down and there was one man so anxious to cross he waded and it only come up to his knees, ami so he thought he would tackle it. and as he had a Ford, and a Ford can go anywhere, over he went; then two more Ford's followed and a Hup ami Studebaker and we knew a Dodge could go any where thy could, so over we went, but we first covered our radiator willi oilcloth, and did not. get any water on the wires. One car got so wet that it burned llif wires out, jusl as it reached the bank and it took half an hour to fix them. Wc ha ve . pPclicd our tent and there is two heaits roaring around here, but we are close to a store and have put all our provisions in it, so I guess they will not get anything. These hears will get everything if you do not get. it out of their way; you dare tint leave anything iu the cars or take it in the tent with you. Well this is all for tonight.

SOCIETY IN ANNUAL PICNIC Once more the Ladies Missionery have met in their annual picnic, and whip it has always been an occasion of a. great deal of pleasure and en joyment for the ladies, the one held hist Friday was the one that "went over I lie top", and will long he rem i inhered by every lady in attend daiice. Early in the planning of this an nual aiTuir the ladies accepted the kind invitation of Mrs. A. Dove Asch to celebrate this annual occasion at her home, that is know to all who have frequented this ideal farm home as beautiful Villa Asch. Here they were nii royally entertained dur ing the entire afternoon by Mrs. Asch, the Knoflicek sisters, of I'latts mouih. and others in a most excellent mu-dcal program, both instrumental and vocal. The Asch home has al ways been one tilled with music of all kinds, and the program given on this day was par-excellence. In the evening. the bountiful picnic supper was given on the beautiful lawn at Villa Asc'u. which was greatly en joyed by all the ladies. From some of the ladies who were in attendance we learn that it was like one beautiful day without a sin gle cloud to mar one joy for all, and that they were unanimous in voting their most heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Asch for Iter excellent hospitality.
