Eeminiscences of Delightful Trip
Mrs. Henry A. Tool returned home
last Monday evening from Lexing
ton, Kentucky, where her rug was
shown in an exhibit at the National
convention of Home Demonstration
Club women.
As rug-making is an old art in
foreign lands, it was not included in
the exhibit that will represent the
hand craft of the women of the
United States in London, England
next June. Each state sends one
choice from the exhibit shown at
Lexington.
Many arts not yet used in Ne
braska clubs were displayed and
possibilities for the development of
utilizing tho things about us were
shown. There were seventeen worn
en who came from different parts of
Nebraska attending this meeting and
it is anticipated great progress in
the extension work among women
will be possible. Mrs. Tool was in
company with Mary Ellen Brown,
state manager, Lincoln; Miss Evelyn
Wolph, state president, Nehawka,
aud Mrs. Neison Berger, former Cass
County Demonstration Agent, also
of Nehawka.
The tour of 2,000 miles took them
through the scenic Autumn beauty
ir. the states through which they
traveled. In Kentucky the great
horee, "Man of War" seems to be
"tops," but the shrine of Abraham
Lincoln at Hodgenville; "My Ole
Kentucky Home" of Stephen A.
Foster at Bardstown, the Mammoth
Cave and Berea College will remain.
In Missouri the colored folk in the
cotton fields, the ride across on the
ferry where the clear waters of the
Ohio and the muddy waters of the
Mississippi flow side by side in the
same channel; and then on to the
beautiful Lake of the- Ozarks which
is formed by the Bagnell dam were
some of the places along this tour.
One could hardly tell when Nebras
ka was reached for the same scenic
autumn beauty with the green of
our wheat fields reached into our
own Cass county.
Eeception for New Member
Last Tuesday evening thirty mem
bers of the Bible class of the Cal
lahan church motored to the beau
tiful home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hil
genfeld to spend the evening. Mr.

Bible class of which Mr. H. Schlue
ter is tho efficient teacher.

tion of the pastor, F. C. Weber, a
