Royal Reception and a Good
Time for Twenty-six
Local Visitors.
SATURDAY, MAY IS, 1914.

On Thursday evening rs members
of the local Masonic lodge visited the
Leal lodge. The trip was made with
automobiles. The boys of Leal and
Rogers, constituting the Leal lodge,
have been very friendly to the local
lodge, often visiting in parties.
To show them that their visits have
been appreciated, several OF the mem
hers of the local lodge decided to visit
Leal in a body. There was good
renresentation Of the Leal lodge pres
ent and added to their number were
2e from Valley City, which made a
goodly number.
After the session, the ladies served
a sumptuous repast. In this respect
Leal outdid Valley City for anything
they ever received here. They have
partaken of luncheons here, but al
wavs lunches ready made, or to or
der. but the refreshments at Leal were
far beyond a luncheon and home made.
The advance on the dining hall was
as we'll sustained as the advance on
Leal, the latter was lead by Brother
Harry Green.
The greatest surprise for the visit
ors and what pleased them even more
than the loyal reception they received
and the home made refreshments after
long ride, was the work by the Leal
lodge. Many of those present have
visited lodges in several places, but all
expressed themselves as satisi ID that
they never had seen the work sur
passed in any lodge.
Leal always has had the reputation
of being entertainers, or having a
bunch of good fellows. 1t is evident
that this reputation built up by the
pioneers of that community is being
sustained by younger generation.

CLUB NUMBERS 80
THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
STARTS OUT WITH GOOD
MEMBERSHIP.

Fremont, Nov 21,-The Commercial
association has rented the second
floor of the F. H. Mckinney building
and have taken possession. The
rooms have been newly painted, a new
enclosed stairway has been built and
other improvements made that make
the place very homelike and comport-
able. The association has member
ship of 80 and about SO met at the
club rooms to informally dedicate the
place. J. E. Kennel, president, presid-
ed at the meeting. Rev. c. A. Snyder
was called upon and made fifteen
minutes speech that was filled with
good suggestions. He took the word
Fremont" and from each letter he
chose word that suggested the boost
err spirit of the rganiZatiOn-Frate
nifty, Ruggedness. Enthusiasm, Merit,
Organization, Necessity, Tenacity-
and from these he wove a story of how
this commercial association could be
of great benefit to the community. His
remarks were enthusiastically receiv-
ed.
Rev. w. Williams was next called
upon and made one of his character
istic speeches. He was born in Wales
and the United States is his adopted
country, yet he is as proud of his place
here as small boy with pair of new
rubber boots. He said that in his
travels over the state that he did not
see a town the size of Fremont thai
could compare with it in any way anC

An entire dress Of cloth of silver
would have been cold, indeed, without
the addition of brilliantly shaded
pink rose worn just at one side OF the
square Dutch neck.
Black in all the suitable fabrics Is
made into gowns for evening and with
out the aid Of the popular flower might
be dull, indeed.
Paris set the style Of not wearing
gloves with evening gowns and so we
have taken it up and the gowns are
sleeveless and worn with the arms and
hands bare. 1t truly Is sensible, not
to say economical. But when gloves
are worn they are more often white
than colored, and only the woman in
mourning would wear black gloves
with her black evening dress.
The foot gear for evening gowns
are, Of course, slippers. There was
much talk of sandals and low-heeled
slippers, but it has been merely talk,
for the heels are, If anything, higher
than ever. To be always correct, it
is safe to have slippers the color, or
the predominating, color of the gown.

escaped going to the penitentiary at
Fort Madison. The law provides that
criminals under thirty years of age at
the time they are sentenced may be
imprisoned in the reformatory While
those thirty or over shall be sent to
Fort Madison. When Brooks was
brought before the court for sentence
he was asked his age and replied that
he was twenty nine. His mother was
called to affirm his statement and she
saiG he was thirty. A great deal hinged
on the answer and the woman was
asked to think hard. She finally re-
membered that he was born in 1885,
making his age twenty -nine and the
sentence was made to read in the
state reformatory at Anamosa.'

other did little damage. The defend
