on their farm were burned to the

thought that spark from the engine
started the fire. A strong wind was
blowing and the fire was soon beyond
control. The corn shredder was also
destroyed. George Nieman of this

The invitations had been Efreely
sent out by the Skillet Creek Bachelors
club to the members of the Arachne
club and other friends to attend the
Halloween party at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. E. FL. Toole. Pansy Heights,
and nearly all responded so the at
tendance was very large. Those who
attended say that more fun could not
possibly have been crowded into the
same space of time. There were some
novel features in the way of games. A
young lady member of the Arachne
club said to one of the bachelors, "You
bachelors know Row to entertain, we
did not imagine you could do SO well. /"
Pumpkin pie, fried cakes, candies,
fruit and sweet cider were served for
refreshments. The party broke up in
time for all to be at home before mid
night unless they went slow.

farmers HALLOWEEN

The party held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. William Wichern on the
evening of October l31 for the young
people and the young feeling older
people of the Skillet Greek Farmers
club was a most decided success.
There was a very large attendance of
young people and goodly number OF
those who cared for them. The open
ing number was a costume parade to
the subdued light of jack-o'-lanterns
and the music of the piano under the
hands of Miss Bernice Wichern. There
were fairies, ghosts, COLLINS, Indian
chiefs, squaws and maidens, colored
girls and boys, city marshal, a coun-
try Justice, Uncle Sam and nom
descripts. The procession was long,
bright with gay colors and very
amusing to note the ingenuity shown
in the makeup.
The hostess of the evening wore
wedding dress of fourteen
years ago. With all the changes
of fashion this costume is now as at
tractive in appearance as any worn at
the present day. The host wore his
usual broad welcoming smile which
we nave all learned to like so well.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
with ornamental products of the farm,
including such wild fruits as wahoo
and climbing bittersweet.
After the parade the electric lights
were turned on and visiting inter
mission was announced; also that
there " ould be q trial of one of the
air visitors for pulling Uncle Sans
chin whiskers. After intermission,
willie the little folks were enjoying
snap apple and ether games, the mock
trial was proceeded with. Mrs. Wilbur
Cowles, who pleaded not guilty, was
selected as defendant. II. A. Hill
acted as justice, Wilbur Cahoon as
prosecuting attorney and l.. B. Irish
as counsel for defense. 81. Martiny
was the leading complaining witness
and was very direct in his statements
of the offending act. Dwight Welch's
testimony was somewhat equivocal
and very amusing. There were sew.
eral witnesses for the defense and their
testimony provoked much laughter.
The prosecuting attorney in cross
questioning Mrs. Bassett asked why
she had taken so much interest in Mr..
Martiny as to feel positive that he was
where he could not see Uncle Sam
when he passed the defendant. The
witness replied that she had always
admired Mr.. Martiny's bald head and
that it was very conspicuous at that
time as he was then somewhat stoop-
ing and taking drink of water. There

.CH|[D'S WELFARE
CLUB MEETING

The regular November meeting of
the Child's Welfare club was held at
the library Saturday afternoon. The
chairman of the Children's Garden
committee gave a report of the work
done by that committee the past sea-
son. In the matter of visiting gardens,
considerable improvement was made
over the work of year ago, but it is
still far from satisfactory. This is an
important part of the garden work
but difficult of organization for the
reason that it is hard to find people
who bave time and who are willing
to visit gardens. There were 225 chill
dren enrolled in the garden contest
while only about It's gardens were
visited. 1t is hoped that all gardens
may be visited several times next
year. AS to the flower show, the
exhibit was much larger than a year
ago. The flowers on the whole were
of excellent quality, showing the
effects of good cultivation. The COM
mittee found people very ready to
assist by gifts, work, courtesies and
special premiums in making the flow
er show success. To all such the
club extended most hearty vote of
thanks. The expenses of the flower
show, including regular premiums,
amounted to $3l45 while the total
receipts were $25 %
The children's vegetable exhibit at
the fair showed as marked an i'm
proVement over last year as did the
flower exhibit. The regular and
special premiums awarded at
the fair amounted to $685.. De
that amount the Agricultural
society paid half, leaving $31. SO to
met by the club. However the special
premiums amounted to $14.20, so that
only $17.73 had TO be drawn from the
treasury to meet the obligations of the
club.
There was some discussion of plans
for garden work for another year. One
proposition was to secure vacant lots,
possibly one in each ward, for the use
of children who have no opportunity
of gardening at home. Plans for
something of that sort will probably
be worked out providing adequate
supervision of the gardens on the lots
can be secured.
During the meeting several special
premiums for the manual arts exhibit
to be held in the spring were pledged.
The pleople interested in this work
for the Chi dreD will be pleased to
know that after meeting expenses con-
nected with the manual arts exhibit,
the flower show and the vegetable ex-
hibit. that there is a balance of few
dollars in the treasury.
