WOMEN BEAT THE MEN
And A Fine Time Resulted At The
Christian Church.

One of the greatest social events
ever held in the Stone Chapel was
the banquet given by the Loyal mems
S. S. class to the Loyal women's last
evening in the dining room of the
church. Some weeks ago the women
challenged the men for q contest.
The points of the contest were agreed
upon and the fun began, the enthu-
siasm ran high. The closing of the
contest showed a gain of over fifty
men and women to each class, with
the women only a very few points
ahead. Perfect harmony and good
feeling prevailed and the thought up
permost in everybody's mind seemed
to be to build up the classes, to get
the fathers and mothers and their
children interested in the studies of
the Bible school. The matter of
good feed" that was promised at the
close or the idea of who should win
was entirely lost sight of in their anx-
iety to build up the school. The re-
suit has been most gratifying in every
respect; never in the history of the
S. S. has 1t taken on the life 1t has
offerings never exceeded the present
time. he enrolment now has reach
ed the 700 mark and Supt. Z. X. Tay-
lor, who is a booster" las the stalk

A bounteous chicken dinner was serv'
ed to 200 men and women. All the
work and serving was done by the
men. Rev. Chas. Farley acted as
POSTMASTER. The first one called on
was Mrs. j. J. Hawk, who told How
they beat the men, ~. VIII Holmes
gave the recipes of how they pre-
pared the different dishes they served
tn recipes furnished by Mrs. J. G.
Harold. DIR. Whitehill then told OF
how they beat the women" insinuat
ing, of course, that they had to keep
peace in the family" Mr.. Il. w
Brown, teacher of the Loyal Women
defended his class and brought down
the house many times with his happy
hits and wit and humor. Supt f. x
Taylor gave a booster talk and told
of plans for the future that were
heartily endorsed by all present. Ma
jor S. II. M. Byers, of Des Moines
was an honored guest and made a few
remarks, Mrs. DR.. Jarvis in few
we'll chosen words extended to the
Loyal men the appreciation of the
class for the royal manner in whict
they had entertained them, and thus
closed one of the great events of he
year.

BRADBURY NOW MAJOR
Captain of Co. F is Promoted To
Regimental Office.

Members of Company F.. Iowa Nat
ional Guard, are rejoicing today at
the news received from Des Moines
that Captain John c. Bradbury was
this morning declared elected to the
office of Major in the Fifty-Fourth
regiment to succeed Major Hollowell,
of Fort Madison, whose term expires
at this time.
Major Hollowell was a candidate
for reelection but was defeated by a
few votes. The ballots were opened
at nine o'clock this morning at the
office of Adjutant-General Logan in
Des Moines and showed Is for Brad
bury and Is for Hollowell
Only elected officers in the various
companies of the regiment are eli.
gible to vote in this election Ballots
were cast for the election two weeks
ago but the result was tie between
Bradbury and HolIowell and a second
election was necessitated.
EX-Capt. John {. Bradbury has
been a member of Co. F. for the past
sixteen years and has been one of
the most conscientious and willing
workers that ever enlisted in the nat
ional guard. He was captain of the
company from 1906 to 1909 and was
again chosen to lead his fellow
guardsmen in 1911. He has retained
the Office of captain since that time.
Co. F has never boosted more
capable captain nor one more popu-
lar with his men than Capt Bradbury
has been and the honor bestowed no.
on him by his fellow officers is fully
merited.
The election of Capt. Bradbury to
the position of Major will naturally
call for the selection of new cap.
tain for Co. f at once.
