Woodmen Afternoon Program

was soon filled to hear the
speakers. Thomas H. Dufey
of Des Moines, national lecturer
for the Modern Woodmen of
America was the first an
nounced and delivered a gen
timely interesting address. He
spoke of the good points of fra
ternal insurance and delighted
his audience for more than an
hour. District Deputy Little
field of Council Bluffs made
only a brief address. Then
came the list of sports. The
Tug of War between Missouri
Valley men and visitors was
declared a tie and the money
divided. Henry Lewis of Mon
DAMN won first money in
throwing the beadle, and Miller
second. In the Consul's race.
VIM. kits of Magnolia won
first, and |. G. Hammer of Mo.
dale second. The ball game
between Missouri Valley Wood
men and visitors resulted in
the former being defeated 8 to
6 in four inning contest, full
of good plays, and otherwise.
The evening program up
town was one of unusual inter
est. The band gave a concert
for fully an hour before the
Royal Neighbors degree staff
made their appearance. Canvas
was laid on the street at the
corner of Fourth and Erie, on
account of the dust. The de-
gree staff was led by Captain
Goodwin and their fancy drill
was exceedingly fine. The
band played a march for them
throughout the exercises and
the ladies kept in perfect
alignment at all times. When
the drill was concluded the
ladies were showered with con-
CALCULATIONS. The following
ladies participated: Mesdames
j. B. Leet, A. N. Fountain, r.
r. Briggs, w. H. Withrow, Lew
Walker, A. B. Berry, John
Goodrich, George Colver, Hos
brook, Langdon, Austin, r. B.
McGreW, j. S. Mcclure, C. C.
Weatherly, Guy Everetts and
Ed Myers.
When the drill was finished
the Woodmen wended their
way to the opera house to
adopt a big class of candidates.
After the class had been given
some preliminary work, it was
announced the Mo Valley and
Modale drill teams would COM
pete for the $50 state banner.
Chief Forester Strange of the
Valley team became overhead
ed and had to be taken to his
home for treatment and in con-
sequence the Modale team
worked the first candidate. On
account of the illness of Mr..
Strange, as above stated, the
home team did not drill but for
a short time and the banner
was given to Modale. We will
say that the visiting team GER
talnly showed up we'll and all
their work was of the highest
order, bringing forth much ap-
plause from the large crowd
present. The local team would
be glad to have a chance to en-
ter a competition with some of
the other camps at some future
date and believe they would
have a good chance of redeem
ing the banner.
Taking the day as a whole we
believe everyone was pleased.
There was estimated about
5000 at the grounds in the af-
ternoon, and would have been
more, but the excessive heat
kept many away.
