A crowd of energetic society matrOns
and maids, with Mr. Laurence Hofer as
lieutenant, disposed of nearly thous-
and tickets to the ball game Thursday,
between the Elks and the Illihees, for
the benefit of Salem's public play
grounds.
1t is hoped to make the institution
even more popular than it was last
summer, and it is a pleasure to note
the growing interest among many who
were quite indifferent last year. Do.
nations have been rendered from sur
prising sources and, although the city
fathers could not see their way clear
to contribute a few hundred dollars
from its Golfers, the help requested will
be more than doubled when all benefit
sums and donations are collected.
Generously giving their time and vie
ing with each other in selling tickets,
were: Mrs Thomas C. Smith, Jr., Mrs.
c. L. McNary, Mrs. Curtis Cross, Mrs.
Elma Ludden, Mrs. W. NJ. Plimpton,
Mrs. E. w. Geiger, Mrs. William Con
nell Dyer, Miss Gertrude Grey, Miss

Miss Lueen Moreland, Miss Veda Cross,
Miss Rita Steiner, Miss Alice Bingham,
Miss Hazelle Erixon, Miss Emmaline
Klein, Miss Hazel Downing, Miss Maud
Durbin, Miss Jennie Fry, Miss Bertha
Eckerlen, Miss Aida Jones.
With the consent of Superintendent
H. E. Wadsworth of the Indian school,
the excellent Chemawa band played on
Salem streets, while hundreds were dec
Grated with ribbon favors for which
sums from twenty-five cents to ten dol
lars were paid
The same charming young women
who helped to dispose of the ribbons,

cream and peanuts from stand and
also in circus fashion throughout the
audience.
