enjoyable and was witnessed by a
crowded hall, many Mahaska Grange
members coming from a distance to
be present Union Grange was in
charge OF the entiTe program but that
did not remove the spirit of rivalry
within the ranks of the grange itself
The young people of Union put on
the work of the first degree and the
elders did that OF the second. Each
tried to out-do the other. Both had
their parts committed and the manner
in which the work was done was per-
feet and displayed not little artis-
tic ability, all of which was entertain
ing for the guests of the evening.
Music furnished by Union Grange
was rare treat and almost every
number was encored The orchestra
itself was q surprise, and to many a
revelation and the vocal numhprg
were delight. Mrs. Fay Mcclure
presented a solo. Il Wish | Had a
Sweetheart" that was highly credit
