The Glenwood post., 1911-08-05

Carbondale's S Get-together banquet is
now a matter of history and everyone
evening is loud in his praise of the
hospitality of the Carbondale citizens
who planned the event and carried out
every detail with such complete salts
faction to all the guests.
These periodical eatfests at whioa
the citizens from all parts of the coun-
ty get together and talk over matters
pertaining to the welfare and develop
ment of the country while munching
the good things that the country pro
duces are apparently growing more and
more popular. Certain it is that .he
numbers attending these various gath
erings have been in excess of those who
participated in the preceding event.
Let us assume that the reason for this
is found in the fact that these meet
ings have proven valuable to some of
those who attended. They have become
enthusiastic over what may be accom-
plished in cooperative way and have
boosted these events when talking to
their neighbors with the result as
stated.
The affair was given in the big Glen
wood tent which presented very at
tractive appearance, lighted by vari-
colored electric globes and with the
long tables very tastily arranged.
The banquet was given by the La
dies Reading club of Carbonda]e and
the ladies proved themselves caterers
of no mean skill They served in very
satisfactory manner the following:
Mountain Trout
Potato Chips Rolls
Harvard Salad
Pickles Roast Pork Olives
Roast Chicken. Creamed Potatoes
Currant Jelly String Beans
Cake Coffee

w. NJ Dinkel, the portable toast
master, was here, there and everywhere,
seemingly determined to combine the
Job of toastmaster and entertainment
committee, so intent was he on seeing
that the guests were well provided for.
Dinkel introduced Mayor thinner
man and ordered him to deliver the adj
Idress of welcome, but the clatter vi
knives and forks and dishes was so
intense that aside from his 'WeIcome
to Our City, delivered with distinct
Zimmerman smile, Jim could not be
heard. After that he made signs. 1t
must have been an eloquent address,
Judging from the hearty applause
which started in the immediate vicinity
of the speaker and quickly spread to
the furthermost borders of the big
tent. like the waves which result from
throwing a rock in lake.
After the charming mattresses had
quieted the visitors by giving them a
splendid feed, Mr. Dinkel introduced
J. c. Osgood of Redstone, who was
asked to speak on the subject of good
roads.
Mr.. Osgood, who unfortunately IS
making short stay at his Redstone
home, has motored great deal in
Europe during the past few years and
has given great deal of attention to
the roads of other countries as well rs
those of our own land.
Mr. Osgood says Switzerland is to-
day country of very limited area and
yet one of the most prosperous coun
tries on the face of the earth by reason
of the fact that she has made and
maintained a record for the very best
of highways.
"Good roads would work wonders il
the settlement and development OF
Colorado with a splendid and prosper
GUS population. The one thing that i'm
presses the American in European
) countries is the especial effort made tt
} keep the roads in good condition AM
that il one thing that we need yer,
