in the local chapter of the Or
der of Eastern Star, took place last
Monday evening after the closing of
the regular chapter meeting.
It had been previously arranged to
give kitchen shower for Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Yantis, whose marriage
recently took place. These young
people have both been especially
faithful and loyal, and it was in ap-

presented them with all manner of
kitchen utensils. These were arranged
on table in the reception room and
covered with umbrellas.

Houses Of Corncoha,

In certain parts of Europe corncobs
are utilized for building purposes. The
cobs are taken to factory, where
heavy congresses crush and mold
them into blocks of various sizes. just
as bricks are variously nodded. These
blocks are then bound with wire so as
to make them hold together. They
are then soaked in tar in order that
they may be watertight, and, after this
last operation. they are ready for the
market.
This product is, of course, much
lighter than brick; and they are al
ways dry, which cannot be said of the
brick. 1t is said that the corncob con-
struction affords a good house for the
poorer class.

PAL|SAOE WINS

The Palisade Peach Pickers de-
feated the Montrose Tunnel Trotters
in the second game of the series. play
ed at Palisade yesterday. 1t was an
exciting and classy game and was
story of a game won in the ninth.
Four to three told the tale and things
looked black for the Peach Pickers
until the last inning Jimmy Moore
head was given the captaincy of the
team and the fact that the team was
able to turn the tables on their op-
pouents is a shining recommendation
of his ability to direct team. 1t
took a little inside baseball to win
and Moorehead called every play
from start to finish and even the old
veteran was a little bit nervous when
the Peach Pickers came to the bat in
the ninth. The game was won by
timely hitting, directed from the
bench and a little baseball luck.
The business houses of the city
closed during the hours of the con
test and the game was the center of
attraction. The wires were kept hot
between Palisade and Montrose,
where hundreds of fans awaited the
days results with abated breath.
