PENN NAY DAY SOCIAL
One OF the Prettiest and Most Sue
cessful Events of College Year.

The May Day social given by the
young ladies of Penn college on the
lawn and the May Tea and entertain
ment at the college chapel Friday af-
ternoon and evening was a pretty en-
tertainment and one of the most sue
cessful events of the college year.
The pretty costumes of the young la.
dies and the spirit of the entertain
ment from first to last was pleasing
and inspiring and those who did not
see the affair, nor participate in the
hospitality of the occasion, nor hear
the splendid musical entertainment of
the evening have regrets for having
missed one of the best entertainments
of the season. 1t was by far the
incest May Day program the Penn
students have ever given.
The program opened at four o'clock
IN the afternoon. The day was all
that could be desired. II was warm
and bright and the young ladies had
all desired advantages. The special
drills with the May pole and ribbons
were very pretty and won merited APP
plause. Tea was served by the col
lege girls until after seven o'clock nC
the affair was largely patronized by
both college friends and city people.
The evening entertainment was {
recital by Mrs. G. w. Critten of Min
neapolis, a contralto. The lady ha
a remarkable voice, and Howart
Hockett, head of the musical depart
ment, who was instrumental in bring
ing her to Penn, is to be congratulate,
upon his find. Those who heard tn
singer last evening were favorabl
impressed and desire to hear he
again next season. Effort will b
made to secure her services agair
Mrs. Critten is soloist with tn
Wesley Methodist church of Mime
apolis, where she is a favorite an
deservedly popular. She has bee
studying in Europe and goes abroa
again this summer for additions
work. She will be one of the bes
singers in the land. Her program a
the Penn Chapel was much enjoye
and her efforts to please were apprt
ciated. Her work was applauded an
encored.

LOSE HEADQUARTERS
Referendum Vote Shows Des Moines
to be Safely In Lead

Oskaloosa has lost the location OF
the permanent headquarters of the
Iowa Mine Workers, District No. 10.
The referendum vote of the Iowa
Mine Workers is being counted and
tabulated today by Secretary Frank
Cameron, and the city that has been
headquarters for many years is hope
lessly behind in the count. Des
Moines leads by d safe majority that
clearly indicates the result of the bal
loting. Abba is second in the race,
but not close enough to Des Moines
to cause apprehension. Oskaloosa
and Ottumwa are barely in the also
ran" class, being badly distanced In
tho race.
The proposition to erect labor
temple, which was thought would be
defeated. has been carried by a saIe
majority.
The counting of the ballots upon
both propositions will be completed
some time today.

Financial Value.

The financial value OF Penn College
to :Mahaska county can not be over
estimated. It has been conservatively
estimated that 1t occasions the ex-
penditure, each year, by faculty, stu.
dents and families coming here to edu-
cate their children, of $250,000.00.
This is large sum and goes to show
that Penn College is Mahaska coun.
TVS largest business asset
From a financial standpoint Mahas-
ka county must save Penn College.

of our own boys and girls have be,
come useful, educated citizens, better
prepared to meet the duties of life,

ings, which would add much to the
value and convenience of the College,
are now held up by parties
waiting on this endowment campaign.
Before contributing to these improve

is to be a permanent, first class insti-
tuition, Monied men who make prac-
tice of giving to educational institu-
tons from a philanthropic standpoint,
want to know that the community In
which a college is located is vitality
interested in its permanent success
enough interested, at least, to place II
on a good basis financially. They are
not around contributing their money
to financially tottering concerns, but
to colleges whose friends have enough
interest in them to assure their fu-

The Oskaloosa herald., 1911-05-11

One thing must be made especially
emphatic In this campaign and that Is.
that Penn College must either contin-
ue as flrst-cIass college or else II will
close It's doors, for Penn will never
run as second rate institution. To
make Il a first class institution, this
endowment must be raised. There Is
no half way point. Certainly II will
be raised. Penn College Is and has
been Of too great value to this COM
munity to think Of anything else.
Therefore let everybody help a III.
tie and the result will soon be accom-
pIished. The men who are making
this canvass are very busy men. They
are sacrificing time and effort freely
in addition to giving large subscrip-
lions. Please meet them cordially and
respond generously to their appeal.
OF course you are going to give
something. How measure the amount?
First: BY the fact that the existence
OF the College Is at stake; second, so
that " a reasonable number Of people
do as we'll as you do, the fund will be
raised.
Don't wait for your nclghbor TO give
but you do your duty. Your Influence
and money is needed, and needed now.
