MANY SPEND DAY
WITH ENJOYMENT
ANNUAL OPEN DOOR RESCUE
MISSION PICNIC BEING HELD
At CALDWELL PARK.

About $50 youngsters with a few Of
their parents climbed aboard the street
cars bound for Caldwell park at 10
o'clock this morning to attend the
eighth annual picnic of the Open Door
Rescue mission. The cars were stopped
in front of the mission and the picnick-
ers conveyed directly to the scene of
the days activities. The affair, which
was for the benefit of the Sunday
school scholars. was in charge Of Su-
perntendent Isaac Williams and his
wife.
A smile Of satisfaction and Joy was
ON the face of every one of the people
who had gathered for the days outing
as the time came for them to leave for
the picnic grounds. The ages of the
picnickers varied from that of the in
FAINT in arms to the staid grandmother
who had cast aside her years for the
time being to enjoy with the younger
generation the pleasures of a trip to
the outskirts of the city as provided by
the rescue mission. To many this was
is seldom heard, as many of those in
attendance are hardly ever able to get
outside Of the city to enjoy the pleasure
of a day in the open air.
Upon the arrival at the scene of the
days enjoyments the attention and in
terest Of those seeking recreation were
claimed by vari' is things. Games were
INDUCED in by many while music was
furnished to help pass the hours pleas
antly. Dinner was served at 12 o'clock
and the boys and girls returned to their
homes about 4 p. m.

TRIP TO FRIEND
RALPH MoREHEAD, WHO REEN.
LISTED WHEN BAND GAME
HOME, TELLS OF JOURNEY.

Benjamin Ellsworth has received
letter from his room mate at Grinnell,
Ralph Morehead of Charlottesville,
who Is a member Of the First Regi-
ment band now at the border. The
letter was written en- route to Texas.
Morehead was a member Of the First
Cavalry band at Camp Dodge, having
enlisted at North Liberty. He is
known in Ottumwa, having visited
here on several occasions. Following
is the letter:
En- Route to Border.
Dear Benny:
We are sailing right along now In
the extreme southern part of Arkan
sas, almost to the Texas line. Left
Camp Dodge Tuesday and we should
reach Brownsville by Sunday noon.
We took the Wabash to st. Louis
and took the Cotton Belt from there.
am seeing the sights of my life. We
have four companies and the head.
quarters staff on board. The com.
panies are from Washington, Fairfield,
Keokuk and Burlington. The First
Regiment band has car all to itself
and we have good Pullmans and nice
accommodations, one man in the up.
per berth and two below ..
You read in books about the natives
of Missouri and Arkansas and, believe
me, all is true. I haven't seen more
than seven or eight painted houses or
autos since we left the middle of Mis-
souri,. You look out of the window
and see regular old honest-to-goodness
darkies with mules and wooden wheel
wagons. We are running through
beautiful cotton and rice fields. The
foliage Is entirely different than in
Missouri. The woods are filed with
palms and we gave concert yester-
day at Ganesboro, Ark, under some
magnolia trees. The darkies live in
hundreds of little huts. Once in a
while you see nice house with many
little shacks around 1t. This is the
farm land of Dixie. =.L b. 81
Whenever we arrive in good sized
town there is a big crowd at the de-
pot. We get out and march little to
get exercise. .a zr1&
I saw many girls, 10 or 20 years of
age. running around barefooted. This
country is fifty years behind the rest
of the United States. We noticed the
Increased heat before we left st. Louis
but do not mind it much. The nights 5
are very cool and the air seems light
err than in the north.
Well. Benny. the train is jolting the
graceful curves out of my penmanship
Write to me in care of the First Regi
ment band. Iowa national guard, at
Brownsville. Be good and stick to
your Iowa girls. haven't seen any
like them. ~ 81. s..t. n "a
