HOUCHTON'S FIRST LIBRARY.
BALL BRILLIANT SUCCESS
Splendid Time Enjoyed by Large
Assemblage and Substantial
Sum Cleared
MAY BECOME ANNUAL EVENT

III YOU were unable for any reason
20 attend the first annual BAH for the
benefit of the Houghton public library
given at Amphidrome hall last nlght
YOU are entitled to a large amount oil
sympathy and coincidence from those
who were SO fortunate as To be there
which is no small number. Many
months have elapsed since the dane
ing public of Houghton and the copper
country have had arranged for them
party that afforded those in attend
ance such a splendid opportunity TO
indulge their terpsieorian inclinations
SO pleasantly as upon this occasion.
II would be difficult, indeed, TO at
tempt TO say whether the hall was a
greater success as a social function or
as a means of raising a sum of money
for the beautifying OF the public IL
brary grounds. There is no doubt that
the affair will long be remembered as a
marked social success.
There can be no doubt as 10 the sue
cess of the affair as judged from the
standpoint of dollars and cents as suf-
ficient money was cleared to put the
premises of the library in a more
handsome condition.
Hall Prettily Arranged.
The manner in which the hall was
arranged and decorated reflects great
deal of credit upon the enthusiastic
women who went down there yester-
day and planned and schemed to make
the ballroom attractive and coy. In
opposite corners of the room were ar
ranged two little parlors or cozy-cor-
ners with rugs, sofas and rockers.
These were decorated with palms and
ferns and presented pleasing and
restful contrast to the long rows OF
opera chairs along the sides of the
room. In addition to those resting
places, the "band-bOx" between the
dancing hall and the rink portion of
the building was nicely decorated and
in the center was a table upon which
stood two large punch bowls filled with
frappe. During the intermissions all
evening this oasis" was an exceed
ingly popular place and many kind
things were heard said about those
who devised the feature and concocted
the cooling potion that was served.
After the tenth number on the pro-
gram an intermission was taken and a
dainty buffet luncheon was served by
several young ladies and gentlemen
the dancers getting into little parties
all around the HAN. The music fur
nished by the Calumet & Hecla orches-

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-With the Liver
pool market not following to the full
extent advanced quotations on this
side of the Atlantic. wheat developed
weakness here today. The bears
pressed the point aggressively. and had
as an advantage the fact that the
short interest had been heavily de-
creased. Favorable crop reports from
Argentina and Australia were also
against the bulls. The opening was u
lower to Il up. December started at
9SH to $685.. unchanged to n off. and
declined to 92M@9S.
High winds. highly useful for the pur-
chasing of corn. were reported as pre-
vailing widely, and had a depressing
effect on prices. December opened u
to VI down, at 46A to 46S, and fell
to 46.
Demand for oats was slack. There
were few shorts in sight. December
started A@% to " off at 31@31h to
31M, and reacted to Bin.
Provisions were generally firm be-
cause of higher prices for hogs. First
sales ranged from ia cents advance to

for pork, 1920 to 1925 for lard and
