i Arnold Hauser, last year with the
Lancaster team, is surprising the fans
around the Three I league circuit
nearly every day by either some SEN
sational bit of work in the field or
else with the stick. He is as con-
sistently good as any shortstop in the
league and considering the number of
hard chances he accepts makes but
few errors. Here is what Sunday g
Dubuque Times journal said in refer
ence to his spectacular playing the
day previous: ''Hauser's great field
ing Saturday and all through the
Decatur series was the kind big league
scouts want. You can talk about
your Bergers and Snyders, but give
Us our Hauser all the time. His one
handed pickup of Cote's grounder
back of second. retiring the runner by
a quick recovery and peg, was
brilliant piece of work.

summer day, and persons having bust
ness on S. Jefferson ST. on that day,
knew there was something doing
at Tom Cox Post EaIl. Ladies with
baskets filled to their full capacity
might be seen, coming from all direc-

Fennimore and Potosi Corps were ex-
pected, and Lancaster ladies wished
to make their visit one which they
would remember with pleasure. and

were any indication they certainly
succeeded. About II a. m. the guests
began to arrive. and by IL m. the
number was complete. Dinner WAS
served and such dinner Our COM
mlttee never served a better. All
did full justice to the delicious food,
an at the same time admired the
beautifully decorated tables. After
dinner the visitors spent an hour or
two visiting friends and enjoy ing our
beautiful little city. Being our re-
gular meeting day, at the sound of
the gavel, all assembled, and the
Business of the day was transacted,
after which short program was
given. Consisting of readings, reci-
tations, and piano solos and duets.
Supper was next in order, and was
served as skillfully as was the dinner.
Our visitors left US early, as the drive
home was to be considered. We of
No. AZ will certainly think of the
day as one of pleasure and hope our
guests will carry happy thoughts with
them. Life is made happier and
better. by such interchange of courtes
