1,377 Visit Floral Exhibits During
First Two Days cf Carnival
in Hotel Building.
1,37 7 visitors have attended the
flower show during the first two
days of the King Korn Karnival.
Probably the most attractive of the
displays is that of the shadow boxes.
Miss Sophia Kraeger and Freeman
McFarland prepared this new fea
ture of the show. Also ranking high
are the booths displaying flower ar
rangement for the old fashioned,
modern, breakfast, dining, and living
rooms. It was prepared by Mrs. Joe
Wiles and Mrs. John Crabill. The
outdoor garden affords a restful spot
for those seeking quiet beauty. It
was prepared by Mrs. John Crabill
and Mrs. Lu'.C3 Wiles. The feeding
box in the room came from the home
of Mrs. P. T. Heinemcm and Carl
Doolcy donated the stuffed birds.
Another of the new features at
tracting a great deal of attention is
the terrariums, under the direction
of Mrs. L. B. Egcnberger, and bubble
bowls. Most of the miniature gar
dens were prepared by children. The
detail arrangement is very clever.
In general, the flower exhibit is
very large for this year. Prizes were
awarded yesterday. Placings are as

Attractive Show
of Handiwork in
the Quilt Show
First Exhibit Brings a Wide Variety
of Patterns and Materials
Many Unusual Designs.
The Korn Karnival may well be
proud of its first quilt show. A great
variety of unusual designs have been
worked out in different materials.
Among the most beautiful are the
applique quilts. First premium went
to Mrs. Alvina Roessler for a basket
applique with a multi-colored ap
plique border. Second prize was
taken by a sunflower quilt in yellow,
brown and white. An old fashioned
girl applique took third.
Flowers were the theme of most
of the embroidered quilts. Mrs. Jake
Kraeger exhibited such a pattern for
first premium. Second was taken by
a flower banket design and third
went to a quilt with each block dis
playing a different type of liower.
A lovely sunburst quilt made by Mrs.
Sophie Parkening, took first in the
pieced quilts. Second was a blue and
white star quilt. A unique pattern
worked out in white and rose print
took third.
M. S. Briggs took first place in
the unique quilts. His was a map of
Nebraska with each piece represent
ing a county. Second and third
places went to yo-yo coverlets. Among
the most interesting part of the dis
play is a section devoted to antique
quilts. Quilts made, of silk blocks
and having feather stitching around
each block were made over SO years
ago. A hand woven coverlet made
sixty years ago in Tennessee is in
teresting, also a log cabin quilt con
taining about 3,000 piece. . Another
unique quilt is tho Eastern Star pat
tern of Mrs. J. R. Reeder.

church at Elmwood and other friends
of the Rev. W. B. Bliss and family,

Home from the East
Charles Gerbeling. who has been
visiting at Burlington, Iowa, and
other nearby towns, returned home
a week ago, being well pleased to get
back home, although he had a most
enjoyable visit with relatives while
away, for here he meets friends at
every turn, instead of seeing only one
person in half a. day whom he knew,
as was the case there. Mr. Gerbeling
lived in that vicinity fifty years ago
but found many changes that have
come with the intervening year, the
same as are oeeuring in'every com
munity, but which go practically un
noticed by those who make their
home in the community.

and lake in the Korn Karnival.

master, with the change of postmas
ter there have moved to Elmwood to

a residence property here, which was
the determining factor in their de
cision to locate here. Elmwood wel
comes this family and hopes they
will enjoy living here.
GavVExcellent Entertainment
The progressive spirit of the edi
tor of the Leader-Echo and his son,
George W. Blessing, prompted them
to install a public address system
for the presenting of programs every
Saturday night and on other special
occasions, which have been much en
joyed by the people of Elmwood and
vicinity. The officers of the Cass
county fair came and solicited a pro
gram over this system for the last
day of the fair, and the publisher
made necessary arrangements for the
same, using local talent from their
regular programs. This program was
greatly enjoyed by the large. crowd
present on the closing day of the
fair, earning the unstinted praise of
the fair board.
These who appeared on the pro
gram included Miss Helen Kunz,
who sang two selections, "Trees" and
"I Love Life," accompanied by Mrs.
Totman; Jean Adair Bothwell, who
tap danced to "Sweet Sue", and
"Chinatown," accompanied on the
piauo by Mrs. Opal Clements; Dr.
C. M. Totman, who sang a solo, "Old
Man River," accompanied by Mrs.
Totman; Elizabeth Ann Smaha, of

Boy" and "A Rendezvous with a

batic dance, accompanied by Miss
Jean Bornemeier, also of Murdock; j
Marion Williams and Edgar Luke, j
who gave guifar selections, "1-2-3-4," j
a special Hawaiian number and i
"Coming Through the Rye," with;
Marion singing "Everybody Does It!
in Hawaii" and closing their number j
with the song "Good Night, Ladies";
Richard Blessing, who sang "Bells of
the Sea," with Mrs. Totman accom
panying, and Fred Shellhorn with
tile harp and John Cardwell with
the guitar rendering a number of old
iinte selections in their popular way.
Mother Still Poorly
Mrs. Herman Penterman, who was
caring for her mother at Oxford for
some time, with the seeming im
provement of her mother, returned
home, but has been pained to learn
of a relapse in the mother's condition,
requiring that she be taken to a hos
pital for treatment.
Effect Exchange of Pulpits
Rev. Homer Fintall, who was min
ister at Adams was tarnsferred to
Elmwood by the recent conference of
the Methodist church, while Rev.
Bliss, the minister here for the past
several years is assigned to the
charge at Adams, thus effecting an
even exchange of pulpits. Rev. Fin
tall and family have moved to Elm
wood to take up their work here and
Rev. Bliss is now located at Adams.
Christian Church Prospering
' The Christian church of Elmwood
is in a healthy condition and just
now tne members have gotten to
gether with the minister and placed
a new shingle roof on the church
building and otherwise placed it in
good shape. Interest in the church
