SOCIAL AFFAIRS.
PICNIC SUPPER.

erary Round Table enjoyed a six
o'clock picnic supper last night at
the home of Mrs. George E. Youn-
kee. Fried chicken was the crown
ing touch of the feast and the lesson
followed the two course supper.
Mrs. w. H. Cook led the lesson on
Robert Falconer, which was ably
prepared and a delightful evening
enjoyed. ....
PAST NATIONS LUNCHEON.
Mrs. Milton J. Mattice entertain
ed the Past Matrons Of the Eastern
Star Saturday afternoon at her home
on west Water street. A delicious
course luncheon was served at one
o'clock, the twelve ladies being seated
around one large table on which was
scattered pansy blossoms. At each
cover was dainty yellow nut bas-
ket and the name cards also were in
yellow. In the center of the table
was a pretty bouquet of carnations
and smilax. A short business ses-
sion followed the luncheon and the
remainder of the afternoon was
pleasantly passed with fancy work.
Miss Vandie Mattice of Redlands,
CAL, and Mrs. o. H. Montzheimer of
Primghar were guests from away.
COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.
Miss Belle Wyckoff was a charm
ing hostess last night at a $50 din
ner, complimentary to Mrs. R. E.
Towle of Boston, Mass, who, as Miss
Emma Cash ten years ago or more,
was one of the primary teachers in
the south school building. The
guests, numbering about ten, were
for the most part her associates in
the school work and the evening was
one of delightful Renaissance. The
two course dinner was served at one
long table with centerpiece of pink
carnations and the place cards for
the repast were scenic ones on
which were written clever observa-
tions such as-"Noah must have
known something about electricity;
if not, how did he make the ark
light?" During the evening fol-
lowing, Mrs. Towle sang several Sc
lections, accompanied by Mrs. M. J.
Frisch on the piano.
FOR BRIDE AND GROOM ELECT.

Christian church last evening a COM
pany of twenty-four young ladies
and gentlemen, members of the Plus

A delightful evening was spent So
cially and a course lunch served, the
bride and groom to be being escorted
to the dining room by Mrs. c. V.
Pence, who led them to two chairs
tied together with white ribbon. In
the center of the table was a beau

London, Oct. 19.-Reports that
the allies have occupied Strumitsa
and landed at Enos, which was re-
Gently transferred from Turkish to
Bulgarian rule, has caused a more
optimistic feeling throughout the al
lied countries.
AS to the progress of the near
eastern campaign it is known from
both Serbian and German accounts
that Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
army is meeting with greater resist
ance than expected, and, although it
is probable the Serbians eventually
must fall back on stronger stragetic
positions in the north, the fact that
the allies are bringing heavy forces
against the Bulgarians, and so plac-
u ing them that the Bulgarians will
be compelled to divide their armies,
gives hope here that the Germans
may be baked in their latest at
tempt to reach the sea and bring as
sistance to the Turks.
All along the line the Serbians
and their Montenegrin neighbors,
who also are being attacked, are Of
fering stubborn resistance, and
while they have given up a number
of towns and positions they have not
yet reached the line on which they
expect to make their stand.
The Bulgarians, so far as can be
learned, have made progress only in
the Zlotokopska valley, near the riv-
er Morava, north of the town of
Vranya, where they blew up a
bridge. There is no confirmation,
however, of the report that they cut
the railway in this district. The
Bulgarian force which penetrated
the valley is not large one.
On the other hand, it is pointed
out, the capture of Strumitsa is of
real strategic value, as it's occupa
ton permits the defense of the
southern end Of the railway and
compels the Bulgarians to keep a
force there. Enos, too, is of value, as,
although not a good landing place, |
it's occupation threatens Dedeag-
hatch, which has a great harbor and
is fortified and mined The civilian
population has already left Dedeag-
hatch.
The Italians, according to the lat
est reports, will not send a contin-
gent to the Balkans. The point at
which the Russians will strike has
not yet been disclosed.
There has been plenty Of heavy
fighting on both the eastern and
western fronts, but in neither case
has either side attempted a general
offensive The Germans are still
making a great effort between Riga
and Dvinsk and have met with some
minor successes. Much of the same
conditions prevail on the western
front The British have been attack
ing east of Vermelles, according to
the Berlin report, while the Germans
attacked the French near Souchez

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Christmas holidays are over and
we have got down to work again
Many were lad to get back to
school. Many others were not so
glad.
Most of the examinations were
passed satisfactorily for all parties.
There were several failures in tenth
algebra and few in ninth latin.
These failures were caused by no
lack of natural ability, but by a
marked Discrimination to study.
The arrangement of the eighth and
ninth grade spelling class is diffe-
tent this term than last. Instead OF
having two sides spell against each
other, each pupil spells against one
other pupil. Thus, whether a pupil
is exempt from the monthly test OF
not depends entirely on his own eff
orts.
1t is about time to begin Basket
ball practice if the school expects
to have a team. AS we have some
A-no.1 material it would be. pity
to let the season SO by without try
ing for honors in that field.
The game of one-and-over is still
being played and and its unpreced-
ented popularity promises to hold
out until spring
1t is about time the Literary soci-
ETY. was being organized if we want
to develope any good orators for the
contests in the spring.
The manual training and domes-
tic science departments are III full

Great Opportunities
For Our Spinners

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 8.
Great opportunities for expansion
of the cotton goods trade with
the South American countries
are open now that the European
mills have been curtailed and a
number of Southern cotton mills
are taking active steps to capture
a generous share of this trade,
declares Charles Lyon Chandler,
South American Agent Of South
ern Railway, who calls attention
to the following interesting fig
ures:
Of the $14,O00,0CO of cotton
goods imported by Chile in 1912,
only 10000 came from this
country. Germany. where trade
is now cut off, supplied So, 400, 600
and Great Britain the rest. In
the same year, Argentina bought
$35, 100000 of which S., 527, 900
came from Germany, over ST.
600, 600 from England and only
$445, 300 from this country, Of
the SIS, 100000 Of cotton goods
imported by Brazil. S3,800,000
came from Germany, $11, 100000
from England, and only 1928, 900
from this country. Figures in
regard to wooden goods and cut
lery into the South American,
countries show similar opportuV
ity.
