banquets prepared by the Methodist

The tables were very beautiful

of the ladies added much to the at-

After ifce good things prepared '

the flow of reason was started'by the
genial toastmaster, William G. Kieck,
who handled the task as ringmaster
of the oratorical treats in an expert
manner.
The opening number was a violin
aolo by George Caldwell that was j
well given and showed wonderful
skill on the part of this young man.
Mrs. Caldwell was the accompanist
for her son. at the piano.

Patterson; wh has beengiven lih
recognition by the scout authorities j
as one of the best and most faithful
members of the organization, was j
given the difficult task of responding .
to the toast, "Come On, Dad." which
he did very cleverly and won a hearty
encore from the delighted auditors. '
For the "Dads." Rev. Walter R.
Robb of the Christian church, who
has a son in the scouts, made the re
sponse and in which he took occasion
to give a word of real praise for the
work of the scouts and urged a great

nation and a closer relationship of

strong in England. had been brought

After the committee of the cham
ber of commerce, composed of Ed
Fricke, J. W. Crabill, Philip Thierolf,
E. H. Wescott. F. M. Pestor and
Scarl Davis, hud finished its soM' ita
tion of the business district yester
day morning for funds to be given
to the needy of Louisville, it was
found that the free will gift of the
residents of the main section of the
business district had reached 400
and the board of directors at their
session decided to add to this the
funds raised to defray the expense of
the Eagles band to Weeping Water
but which had not been used owing
to the storm that occurred last Fri
day. This fund was something like
45 and represented largely small
;
ontributions and as it was a most
laudible cause the committee decided
I to add it to the relief fund, which,
,with other contributions, made the
total run up to faoo.
The delegation going to Louisville
was composed of John P. Sattler, J.

From Tuesday's Pally
W. T. Smith and wife of this city
are enjoying the distinction of being
great grandparents, owing to the ar
rival of a fine eight pound daughter
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Miller in Omaha. Mrs. Miller, the
mother, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Smith, the former being the
eldest son of W. T. Smith and wife.
The great grandparents are very
much pleased with the new honors
bestowed on them and will soon visit
the little lady at the home in Omaha.
