.DOINGS OF A DOZEN
Happy Meeting at the Home of Mr.,
and Mrs. Clyde Robertson.

Anything new and original along
the avenue of social entertainment Is
sure to be discovered by the Doings
OF A Dozen Club members. This time
the gathering was at the home of Mr.,
and Mrs. Clyde Robertson, out on the
Olivet road. The whole bunch re.
sponded for the occasion and sixty or
more individuals were entertained in
hospitable manner. The Ham Barnes
people were also there as visitors. A
variety OF entertainment was con.
tributed by members of the company.
One of the fun producing features of
the evening was the manner of select.
ing partners for supper. Ladies were
given the names of Capital cities and
the gentlemen were designated by
states. The state had to find its CAPT.
tai or in case the state was not wise
as to who bossed it, the capital in
several Instances, had to pick out her
state. For the younger element and
in many instances of the better
known states and governing cities,
this was pie" but most of the elders
who were back numbers on geography
had not kept up on states of recent
admission. Too, some state capitals
in remote corners of the land are
not now what they were when some
members of the club were attending
school and this fact caused confusion
1t all ended by the children helping
the old folks to their rightful part
ners but it was rather embarrassing
for capital to be told by a state that
he had never heard of her before. An
other pleasing contest of the evening
was the reading of titles of recent
popular or much advertised books
with prize to the one correctly nam
ing the greatest number, Mr.. and Mrs
Lester Butler and daughter Elizabeth
won the high places, seemed to run
in the family. Every moment of the
evening was enjoyable and every
member of the club contributed RI
one or another way to the pleasure:
of the evening. Look out for the mex
number.

Judge Scott NJ. Ladd OF the state
supreme court. who is q candidate for
reelection at the general election on
November Sd, is of German and Eng
ish ancestry; was raised on farm;
took q college course; taught school;
studied Law at the State University
OF Iowa, and began the practice OF
law at Sheldon, Iowa, in 1881. He SO
approved himself to the people as g
man and lawyer that he was elected
district judge in the fall of 1886.
In that office he was Just, impartial
and fearless. He was, withal, pos
sessed of an unusual knowledge Of
the law and rare common sense which
soon marked him as one OF Iowa's
leading jurists. The lawyers agree
that no fairer man ever sat upon the
bench. They are unanimous that NO
Judge ever dispatched the business OF
the court with greater expedition,
with greater satisfaction to all con.
cerned, and with greater economy TO
the people.
The most important litigation be-
fore him while distrlct Judge was that
concerning $1,000 acres OF disputed
lands in o'Brien and Plymouth coun-
ties. His decisions in this litigation
were approved by the state and ma
tional supreme courts.
Judge Ladds record as a supreme
court Judge in Iowa Is found in sixty
volumes of the Iowa reports. His de
cisions evidence his deep learning.
his untiring industry, and his rare skill
in applying the law TO the facts. He
has done his full share in eleyating
the Iowa tribunal to the front rank OF
American courts OF last resort. Tested,
tried. and found not wanting, no one
yet has suggested a reason that he
should not continue his term OF hon.
orabIe service for the state.

of our wool down to the knitting mills.

wool that we do not need I'm going
to sell to the mills, and I'm going to
put that money into these games and
those things for the kitchen, and
want to see the roses come back into
your cheeks, for you're likely to be
called upon to dance the Virginia reel
with me before the snow flies. That
old gobbler out there is eating a good
deal of corn, but he doesn't know

Thanksgiving dinner. Come Mother,
we must grow young for the boys, and
learn how to play. That young fell
