MORE GOOD WORK ON HORSESHOE
Two Crews Spent Friday on the Job and Made Good Headway-All in Good Shape but Quigley Hill--
 Workers Given Treat.

The second woodworking day on the Horseshoe Drive, which was ob- served Friday, did not bring out as many volunteers as did the first event and yet those who turned out accomplished a fine lot of work.
 The men were divided into two squads, one working on the Ouigley hill and the other covering the road from the city standpipe to the Quig- ley hill.
 Those at work on the hill were the Rev. I. A. Park, Dr. B. Il. Haw- kins, R. Golf, Mayor J. H. Hamilton. l.. C. Dille, Dr. J. C. NJ. Whitson and steve Rose, the latter driving one of the Golf teams to the scraper. Cap Cannon with his team of mules and blow divided his time between the nam road and the hill doing the necessary blowing. Dr. Hilton and Col. J. NJ. Steward were among the visitors, and F. w. Tomlmson was The official marker, displacing Ira 0. Smith.
 The squad which began work at the standpipe was in charge of J. A. Connel, and dressed up the entire road With a grader. Jasper Middle ion handled the grader and Ira Will hams and M w. Eddy drove the teams. which belonged to the Wat klns Lumber Company. Mr. Connell and Will Driseoll, with the help of some boys, followed the grader and cleared the road of rock. Among the boys at this job were Joe Conneli. Alton Anderson and Hubert and El- bert Smith.
 A good start was made on the iob ol making the Quigley hill passable. and with one or two more days of work it will be in good shape. All the rest of the road is graded up in fine shape, and with judicious use of the road drag it will be one of the finest drives in the Ozarks.
 The workers on the hill were giv- en much appreciated treat during the afternoon by Mrs Georgia Phil lips of Hotel Mena. who in person came to their relief with bucket of fine lemonade.

Place cards in horseshoe shape were drawn and under the rules and reg ulations as read and elucidated by the host, the games of pitching horse were begun, the scores kept and the players progressing in a manner similar to card games.
 After the games it was found that Mrs. R. Golf for the ladies was the winner of the honors, and w. w. Brown and Warner St. John were tied, Mr. Brown winning by the toss of coin. Booby prizes were se- cured by R. Golf and Mrs. J. w. Gardner.
 Then came the big event-the feast. A table of some thirty feet in length had been provided, and it was loaded with sure-enough good things to eat" and happy hour was spent in the pleasures of food and frivolity. with w. J. Lauck the easy and undisputed winner in this
