house park in Keosauqua last Wed
nesday The day was a perfect one
and large crowd enjoyed the pro-
gram and the hospitality OF Keosau-
qua. The business session convened
at the park at IL a. m, being called
to order by President e. c. Holland
of Milton. Committees were appoint
ed and the affairs of the association
discussed. When President Holland
called for order at 1870 he faced an
assemblage of several hundred
people, and by 2:30 the park was
filed with people. Before the regu-
lar program was opened, the keo-
sauqua band played several selections.
nished by a male quartet composed
of Messrs. Sherman Dee Hart, Arthur
Craig. Fred Wilson and Walter Beer
and by Mr. c. X. Miller who sang
that old, but sweet and ever popular
song, When You and / Were Young,
Maggie The strong wind that was
blowing made both singing and speak
ing out of doors difficult. Prayer was
offered by Rev. J. c. Behrens Of the
Methodist church, and addresses made
by Rev. C. A. Field of Ottumwa and
by Hon J. P. Cruikshank of Ft. Madi-
son. At the close of the program a
lecture on Diversified Farming" was
