The project to construct county

of the board to reach an agreement

Recently the supervisors, recogniz-

entirely to county patients and the
saving which could be effected
through such an institution, placed
the matter in the hands of Probation
Officer Swanson, who Immediately set
about to work out plans for the struc-

The plans which were presented to-
day were drawn by Samuel B. Zim-

between the architect, Probation Of

GERMAN FEAST
GREAT SUCCESS
SONS OF HERMANN AND THEIR
FAMILIES HAVE CHRISTMAS
FESTIVAL.
MUSIC, FEAsT|NG AND DANCING

The Sons of Hermann, with their
families, celebrated Christmas after
the good old fashion of the Vaterland
at the old X. OF p. hall Monday eve-
ming. One hundred fifty or more loyal
sons and their wives and children as
sembled at $50 o'clock to listen with
hearty enjoyment to program whose
chief numbers were der Wactt Am
Rhein,'' "Deutchland Uber Allies" and
other songs of the father country
which thrill the German blood no mat
ter where it flows, and the volumn
and melody of SO male voices singing
the good old hymns which centuries
have made classic, was inspiring to
hear.
The principal object of interest in
the hall was a handsome Christmas
tree OF voluminous proportions which
blazed colored lights and sparkling
things. Each one who entered was
given a number, and when the program
of music was concluded, the numbers
were called aloud and corresponding
gifts distributed There was a toy of
some kind for everyone, and the chill
dren especially were made supremely
happy by the wealth of playthings they
received. Then came the lunch, which
was triumph of delectation, consist
ing of turkey sandwiches, rye bread
and cheese, chicken salad, pickles, cof-
fee, cake, plenty of beer for those who
wanted it and pop for the children.
Concluding the festivities there was
dancing, in which almost everyone par
ticipated. Music was contributed by
Mr., and Mrs. Haller, Mrs. Saxl and
Mr.. Darwin Johnson, who played
throughout the evening. Perhaps no
event of the holidays can lay claim to
the unaffected joy of this one, for no
sect or fraternity, nation or individual
can find for itself the unbounded
pleasure in family gathering, such as
this as can the children of Deutchland.
