Editor Reporter thought per-
haps you would like to have list of
the Decatur county people who at
tended the big Iowa picnic at East
Lake park Los Angeles, Feb. 22nd.
The day was a typical California
winter day, warm and bright, and as
early as 9 o'clock the cars were
crowded with jolly Iowans and their
friends, with lunch boxes we'll filled.
Southern California is one of the few
places where one can enjoy picnics
the whole year round, and while we
think golden California, with it's sun
shine and flowers, its nuts and
peaches, a most beautiful, glorious
state, yet we were filled with pride
to see the $4,000 Iowans, well dress
ed and fine looking who attended.
An ear of golden colored corn, en-
blazoned on field of white, around
which peeked rays of California sun
and hog conchant was the state
badge of the Iowa Society of South
ern California Spaces for the indi-
Eidual county reunions were marked
OFF in the large open play ground
south of the Conservatives. Here
relatives and acquaintance, eX-
the Iowans registered, found friends,
relatives and acquaintance, eX-
changed greetings from home and
INDUCED in "reminiscences. Back of
the speakers stand in grove OF
Eucalyptus came rumble OF snare
drums, the Shrill notes of the fife, the
grooming of over burdened swings
and the music of the merry-go-round.
After lunch and speeches were over
the crowd visited, rowed on the lake,
inspected the alligator and ostrich
farms and the ZOO, and had a general
good time. was so glad l CHANGED
to be in Los Angeles on Iowa Day.
