the others, it always seems to draw

The limb was burned off and the fuse
at the station was fused. Mr.. Whit

Echo Lodge, K. of P, had regular
blow out on Saturday evening. They
are great fellows for Having a good

bers of the K. of P. lodges and their
families. The first part of the even
ing was filled with an entertainment
which was in charge of Mr.. E. E. Bar
ker. The second part of the evening
everybody was filled by the good
things got in readiness in the dining
hall by E. H. Burgess who had charge
of the grub stake and the third part
