A frolic particularly suggestive OF
Thanksgiving. the American harvest
home. is a feast Of corn. BY corn, OF
course. is meant Indian corn or maize,
not the wheat. barley or other grain
termed corn" i'm Europe.
Invitations are written on corn col
ored paper and have water color deco
rations representing ears of corn, corn
stacks, etc.
These notes could be issued in the
name of the corn king, using the form
given below:
"Your presence is cordially requested
10 meet King Corn at 81 Earl court.
Thursday, November -, from $50 to
H."
OF course, the walls will he deco
rated with cornstalks and the ceiling
hung with ropes Of the dried ears.
One of the amusements of the even
ing is n contest where players guess
the number of corn kernels In large
Jar or bowl The number of kernels
will have been already ascertained by
the hostess. who awards a prize for
the best guess. Give bonbonniere In
the form OF an ear OF corn as prize.
In another round give each player
needle or thread, and provide large
dish OF kernels that have been pre-
viously soaked until rather soft. The
fun consists in seeing who can, In the
shortest time, make the longest string
OF corn kernels. Give box of pop
corn candy as a prize. Illustrated Is
pretty basket suitable for decorating
the Thanksgiving table. II is filed
with ears Of dried corn and lunches
OF grapes. The handle Is wound with
leaves This idea may be carried out
in paper even the basket being made
OF the crinkled variety.

HIS HONOR, MIR. MOSQUITO,

The summer season has arrived
and scratching is now in order. Mr.
Mosquito is here.
Abilene residents have commenc-
ed their shadow boxing and are side
stepping the humming pests with all
the spring of spring chicken. Dur
ing the day the "skeets" lie low.
At evening when the front porch is

quito parade is on. The MOSQUITOES
arrival is early this year, He seems
to have grown and waxed large. His
stingerius is as sharp as ever and
those who have felt 1t say that he
bites deeper. Window screens coated
with kerosene may keep out the
bugs for a while but they will get
in eventually, unless killed.

The result OF the base ball game
at Junction City Friday between
the Abilene and Junction high schools
was a victory for Junction . to 8.
But It was a defeat hard TO swallow.
for Abilene had the game won up
TO the last half OF the eighth inning
by the score OF 8 to s. Then the
umpire put in his dirty" work. He
gave the first two men up walks
and with three hits and q couple raw
decisions Junction registered four
more scores. The spectators were
with Abilene. for raw decisions were
conspicuous throughout the game.
Abilene out hit and out played
Junction but could not beat the UNI

themselves but Junction told Abb

of their umpire or the game. would
be stopped. Another bad feature OF
