Refus. to Call Whisky Election

Jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 22.-The
county commissioners have refused to
call a special prohibition election on
the grounds that the petition sent
in by the anti-saloon people did not
contain the flames of a sufficient num-
-ber of registered voters.

With winter digging which is often
practicable, the surface may be left in
rough ridges so that the winter ele-
ments can act upon as great an ex-
posure as possible and by such means
kill a quantity of the vermin that al
ways abound in rich garden earth.
All soils are benefited by exposure of
this kind, and they also require the
mellowing influence Of frost tempered
by the pulverizing action Of air and
moisture. SO that much can be done
in ameliorating the condition of the
soil IL rendering it fit for cropping and
giving succeeding vegetation Il chance
to survive the hot seasons that follow

woMANs' CLUB DINNER.

Monday night was gala night for
the Woman's club who celebrated
with an elegant four course dinner
their sixth birthday. The club feels
that nothing is too good for their club
and act accordingly so that the club
room was as beautiful as skill and
willing hands could make it. The
three long tables were arranged in a
hollow square with the round table in
the center, while number were seat
ed at small table on the platform.
The colors of the club, yellow
and white. were used in great pro-
fusions. Jonauils and Narcissus with
yellow roses and ferns were the
flowers used.
During dinner the talented daughters
of the club entertained the guests and

thing at the right time made very
graceful address of welcome. The
Misses Thuresson. Merrill and Stock

and Romans and Mrs. McConnaughey
sang. Mrs. Jensen gave some de-
lightful readings from Nixon Water

the earnest solicitation of the guests
gave two of her enjoyable readings.
The program closed by singing

who served the eighty guests most
gracefully.

The Baptist People Enjoy a Novel
Social

1t has been the custom of late for
the Baptist young people to hold their
monthly business meetings at the
different homes. and to have social
in connection with the business SEES
sion. On Monday evening about fifty
of the young people and their friends
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Christensen in East Denison, and en-
joyed the pleasures of reversed SC
cial. The spacious parlors were APP
propriately arranged with motroes and
sentiments in sadly muddled state,
while photos of the children were in
verified so that the poor boys were kept
standing on their heads. The guests
appeared in outlandish rigs and played
most contradictory parts-for instance
Mrs. Harry Carpenter took the char
acter of the woman who could not
talk while Mr.. Harry Carpenter crs-
ated sensation with his golden curls
tied back with enormous ribbon bows.
Mrs. Martin made a great hit in a
grotesaue costume. hedecked and be-
ruff1ed and everything wrong side be-
fore. There were outlandish make
ups too numerous to describe and ev-
eryone had jolly livery time. There
were games and various amusements,
and the hostess served dainty lunch,
including nuts la horse shoe nails

This ended the contest. and while

tanned the people with their songs.
The judges were County Supt. Brain
ard of Logan. Prof. F. o. Smith of
Woodbine and Prof. David H. Boot of
Manila. 1t would appear that no
two judges agreed on who was best
and SO the decisions were made by
further rules adopted for the case.
The judges were nearly half an hour
in coming to the point of saying who
should be first. second and third. At
last Supt. Brainard came forward to
say that Miss Hooley won first. Miss
Brodersen second. and Miss Luney
third. Congratulations were then
given the winners by their friends.
Miss Hooley will represent the Deni-

Onawa in a few weeks. She is a
niece of the Sarachon Sisters and is
fine musician as we'll as bright
school girl. We believe that the
judges would be in better shape to de-
eide if contestants were not hurried
on, one after another leaving no inter
val for a judge to consider the proper
rating. The design of the contest
was to train the pupils to speak in
public more than to see which in the
averaging up of figures would obtain
the prizes. This was brought out in a
pleasing talk given out by the super
intendant of schools. Prof. Fellows.
