week in the rural realm of Polk coun-
ty was the observance of the sixth
eth anniversary of the birth of that
well-known and highly respected citi-

"surprise" it was doubly appreci-
ated by the recipient of the favor.
A variation of the old game of "Spin
the Platter" was played, in which
each loser paid his forfeit by telling
Of some interesting incidents in his
life. Many entertaining tales were
told, the scenes being laid in Illinois,
Kansas, Mexico and many
other places besides in Oregon. Es-
pecially interesting were the accounts
of a terrible Kansas blizzard, told
by Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor and James

work by Mrs. w. 7. Scott. All join
ed in the sentiment that Oregon was
the best state yet. Charades were
also enjoyed and at late hour a lap
supper was served by the hostess.
