Displays Model Home at Fair.

the World's Fair. Mrs. Faulknei
was selected as head designer and
designed and furnished the cottage.
She not only furnished the home
but made it as homelike as possible.
In the living room was placed many
articles which would be found in a
home, such as books with cases,
magazines and daily papers. The idea
was to have a model home just like
a home and not that square rigid look
of displaying furniture and furnish
ings which suggest commercialism
but in a true homey way. The effect
was so true that an aged gentleman
attending the fair seeing the maga
zines and easy chair entered and
sat down and read the magazines
on the table, after which he took
the checker board and played checker
solitaire. The arrangement caught.
the eye of many visitors to the fair

fast Friday morning at 7:30 at River
side Gardens, their home. Tables
were set on the lawn surrounded by
spring flowers of almost any variety
which blooms at this time of the
year, and the air was crisp and cold,
so everyone was ready for grape
fruit, hot coffee, bacon, eggs, and
rolls, and plenty, of them too. The
cooks were kept busy supplying the
needs of the hungry crowd, with an
out of door stove and the kitchen
range both being kept busy supply
ing hot food for the inner man. Each
guest was presented with a potted
pansy as a favor."

different varieties of plants which
Mr. and Mrs. Jensen have developed
and are growing so successfully and,

Benediction Rev. W. D. Lenker
Recessional Mrs. C. E. Day
Rev. Meyers took as his subject,
"Character Building." Among other
good things, he said: "The one who
builds truly must dig deep and put
his foundation on solid ground. Well
built character i3 often underesti
mated. Lire is real climbing." "Grad
uating from high school is only the

from those who have gone before for
they have had experience in overcom
ing obstacles and their advice will be
of great benefit to those who follow."

pleted, and many of the foreign

Soldiers, 9 to 0
Locals Play Heads Up Baseball All
the Way in Game O'Donnell
Hits Four Sacker.

played heads up baseball Sunday as
they defeated the Fort Omaha aggre
gation 9 to 0.
"Stub" Sedlak started on the
mound for the Platters and 'worked
five flawless innings, giving two
singles and getting nine strikeouts.
He gave way to Los Thimgan who
worked the remainder of the game
and he too gave two hits. Both pitch
ers worked with the proverbial "mil
lion dollar infield."
The Merchants had little trouble
finding" three soldier hurlcrs, al
though they got only nine clean
blows, they made them count and
ill were timely.
Some of the outstanding plays
were: A snappy double play from Sed
lak to Hayes to Ault. O'Donnell's
four- bagger in the fith inning with
Hayes on the sacks. Jack's peg to
the plate to cut off Omaha's only
scoring bid. Every soldier that was
fortunate enough to get on base was
either thrown out advancing or died
on base.
The hitting was done moatly by the
lower third of the batting order, Brit
tain, B. Smith and Ault each got two
safe hits apiece. Les Thimgan got a
rousing double to right center for the
other extra base blow other than
O'Donnell's 4-ply swat. Next Sunday
the victorious Merchants play Union
a return game at Union.
