The M. w. A. Picnic at Mike.

Saturday, August IA, 1909,
was indeed red letter day for
the Modern Woodmen of Amer ica
at Mike, that being the date OF
the sixth annual picnic of Logan
camp, No. 1892, in E B.Youug's
pasture, / 1.2 miles northwest
of Mike.
Saturday was decidedly the
most pleasant of all the days last
week and the attendance at the
picnic was large and all enjoyed
themselves to the greatest de.
gree.
The only thing that marred the
pleasures of the day was the
boisterous, profanelsngusge and
diseraceful conduct of three
young men who had gotten on
the outside of superabundance
of very bad whiskey. No such
outrageous misbehsvior should
have been tolerated for q minute
and the drunken rowdies should
have all been promptly arrested
and fined to the extent of the
fullest penalty the lawl imposes
for such an offense. They dis
gusted everyone and were a
source of humiliation and shame
to their families and q stencil in
the nostriIs of the community.
The Bynumville band. COM
posed of a very gentlemanly
body of men, disooursed sweet
music at intervals, and added
much to the days delights.
The ice. cream, lemonade, soda
pop and other refreshments were
of the very best and for which
there was q ready demand.
At the noon hour it was the
good fortune of the COURIER
man to fall into the hands of
DR.. L. M, Asbury and w. M.
Gravee and we took dinner with
them and their families. The
spread was bountiful in quantity
and excellent in quality and was
all that any connoiseur of the cul'
linsry art could have desired.
Tie picnic was not only sue
cess socially, but was also o win
ner financially and all who were
there were we'll entertained and
will gladly avail themselves of
an opportunity to go againl:next
year.
The COURIER man was also
generously remembered with
several dollars on subscription
and was placed under obligations
to VIM. Koehl of near Newhall,
Logan camp, M. w. A, and Ford
& Robinson, the genial Mike
merchants, for other financial
favors, in the way of advertising
and job work.

Council Bluffs, April 30.-After

a seat of uncertainty regarding their

Bluffs, with view of eliminating from
the situation the last elemtn of I'M

Men have been engaged to circulate
the petition, which must be signed by
a majority of the voters residing in the
city, voting there in at the last pre-
ceding election, the number of voters
registered in Council Bluffs for the
election of last November was about
6,10O. While not all of these voted an
effort is to be made to secure sigma

of the registered voters.

had been enjoined could not re-engage

PROF ESSION

DIR. THORPE OF ST. LOUIS TELLS
DENTISTS THEIR VOCATION
is BEST EVER.

That the dentists profession Is one
of the greatest of them all, by virtue
of some of the most remarkable of this
country, was eloquently brought out
last night in the address of DR.. Bur
ton Lee Thorpe of st. Louis before
the dents who are in attendance at the
state convention in Des Moines.
Paul Revere practiced dentistry in
DR.. Wright's office at the foot of the
wharf in Boston," said DR.. Thrope.
"He was the most expert engraver OF
his time and a silversmith of great rep
utation."
Revere made false teeth from bones
and tusks from various animals, main
| ly the walrus and hippopotamus, &C.
cording to Dr. Thrope, and he was
working on tooth for prominent
citizen Of Boston late one night when
he heard that the British were COM
ing.
"The first man to practise dentistry
in America was Joseph Lemaire, q
Frenchman, who came here in ITO,
said DR.. Thrope. George Washing
toms dentist was DR.. John Greenwood
| Charles Wilson Peale, the artist who
painted the only authoritative picture
of Washington was a. dentist. Mr.
Peale noticed from Gilbert Stewards
painting that Washington's face ap
peared to be drawn about the mouth
Peale went to Washington, made hin
some teeth, which resulted In hi.
face being filled out, and then made
his portrait.
THE first native born American den
list was Josiah Flagg. He studied un
der Lamaire at Valley Forge. Ed
ward Hudson, the great Irish patriot
practised in Philadelphia and went t.
school with Tom Moore, the poet.
Norman Kingsley, a retired New
York dentist is sculptor of the recoe
nized bust of Christ. He invented tn
art of pyrogaphy and did copies Q
Rembrandt's painting with his bencl
iron. He afterward invented tn
needle now used by thousands of pee

HAVE CHANGED The DATE
Methodists Changed Anniversary Raj
ly Day to Avoid Conflict with
Congregationalists.

The Methodist committee which
has charge of the anniversary rally
day has been able to make a change
in the date that was at first agreed
upon for the celebration of the first
anniversary Of the new church. This
date was Jan. 81. After agreeing up
on the date it was learned that the
Congregational people had decided
upon the same date , although unan-
nounced. To avoid q conflict of
dates, and to give everybody an op-
portunity to attend both gatherings
the Methodist people decided to
change their date to Feb. z. Rev. A.
c. Stevens, of Minneapolis, a form
er pastor of the church in this city,
has consented to come and help out
on the financial proposition of the
occasion. The committee states that
the greater part of the soliciting will
be accomplished during the week or
ten days previous to the gathering so
that the Sunday will be more or less
of the real celebration day.
The Congregational people will
dedicate their new home on Sunday,
Jan. 81, and they have secured Rev.
Frank Fox. of Sioux rails, to preach
the d%edicatory sermon. Mr.. Fox is
also building a new church in Sioux
Falls. The full program for the day
has not been agreed upon as yet, but
it will be ready for announcement
within the course of a few days.

gave him the start ON the debt re-
ducing proposition by giving him
$1,000.
Coming up to st. Paul on his way
home, President kerfoot stopped
with James j.. Hill, whose Fame has
been linked with the great success
attendant upon the Great Northern
railroad as the former president of
the road. 1t has not been known
out this way that Mr.. Hill took much
interest in benefactions for educa-
tional institutions, but evidently
President kerfoot knew the way to
the generous nature Of the railroad
magnate, for at the conclusion of the
conference the president came away
with the promise Of $4,000. This
sum with the 1000, is given condi-
tionally that the friends Of the insti-
tuition raise the balance of the obi
cations that rest on the college.
President Kerfoot says the entire
debt amounts to $4,000, and with
these tentative donations applied will
reduce the debt to $4,000. The
president said that he will soon start
the campaign to secure the latter
amount of money to clean up all the
obligations of the institution, and it
will be a decidedly happy day for 1t
when it is accomplished.

While the methods adopted and pur-
sued by the churcnes were different
they all have the same good end in
view, and there was much benefit
derived by an interchange of ideas.
