BIG ODD FELLOWS SUPPER.

The annual Riverdale game feed
was held Monday evening, Dec /,
1913. The largest crowd ever out to
this event was here, and was Soc
ial success, as it is big thing in Odd
Fellowship. James Schuepp and Bert
Osborn were the opposing captains.
Both had the largest scores they ever
had before, but Jim nosed out his
opponent by about 40 points. Jim
has some secret way of coaxing or
keeping the rabbits around his farm
on purpose for this occasion. The
old saw, MANY loss without some
small gain" might be applied here, for
Bert is certainly a past master of the
art of cooking game. All were re-
warded for their long wait by one of
the best cooked suppers ever served.

A woman never thinks of shaking

The twentieth century may fairly
