1t was evident early last evening
that the pan to raise money for Com
pany H by street parade and a
dance at the armory was to be a sig
nal success The Elks' corner at Sec
ond and Hickory was a busy scene.
Flags were soid right on the grounds,
and were used profusely to decorate
the cars. Twenty dozen of these
flags were sold by young ladies under
the direction of Mrs. Harry Carney
and Mrs. H. A. Patterson.
The traffic was handled well and
without a mishap. Officers Waters
and Lippert of the city police force
were on hand to direct the trend of
foot passengers and cars, so that no
accidents might occur.
Colonel George Meade, who had
charge of the parade deserves great
cridit for the able manner in which
that was carried out. He was assist
ed by Peter M. Ferguson, Ed. Ny
quist and AL Kercher.
Hundred Cars in Line.
The cars in the parade numbered
approximately a hundred. The fire de-
partment trucks made an imposing
sight These were in the lead. After
these rode Colonel George Meade.
Then came the band wagon, profuse-
1y adorned with flags and hunting

tone; o. F. Morrow and Sam Sandon,
basses; Adam Klugherz and boy by
the name of Zimmerman, drums.
After the band came the city Of
ficers in cars, and then other cars,
many of which were adorned with
flags and bunting.
Not only flags, but tickets to the
dance were sold at the Elks' corner
There was no chance of anybody 60
ing by that place without being
mailed" for the benefit of the brave
boys who are encountering great
hardships for the sake of the security
of American lives and property.
With the band playing vigorous and
patriotic airs, the parade moved south

Sales of Flags.
The sales of all the flags, and dance
tickets amounted to $3.50 approx
mately. AS practically everything in
use was donated, this will make a
very neat sum for the relief of the
Mankato national guardsmen. The
band and orchestra donated their
services. So did the managers and all
the workers. The Consumers Power
company donated the use of some
splendid electric fans, and these, to-
gether with the ice cream and pop
did much to keep everybody cool. not

Much credit should be given to the
