Mrs. Henry Pagenkopf, Albert and
Ernest Pagenkopf and Miss LeOna Pa
gel, spent Saturday at the home of
Emil Pagenkopf in North Lancaster.
The Orpheum has been showing
some splendid feature pictures this
winter Mr.. Burr doesn't claim to have
the finest theater, but he does show
as good pictures as you are likely to
see anywhere and the projection and
screen work is first-class.
George Turnmeyer, clerk at
Schmidt's restaurant, left Wednesday
for BOscobel, to spend few days
with friends. From there he will go
to Prairie du Chen, where he will
visit with his parents. Fred Hall is
taking his place during his absence.
W A. Austin and Andrew Zenz,
who have been in California for the
past several weeks, write friends here
that they are having a splendid time.
They have purchased a little Ford and
are taking the fine highways out of
Los Angeles on high. Oranges and
lemons are ripening out there now, Mr..
Austin says. The other day they
picked tomato from vine twenty
feet long that was one year old-and
still growing.
Phil Ryan, who was married to
Miss Mary Bell of Fennimore, three
weeks ago, has returned from his we'd
ding trip and commenced work again
with the Lancaster Light e Power
company as construction foreman. Mr..
Ryan was sent to Iowa Falls, Iowa,
last fall and spent several months
there in charge of the new construct
ion work which the company has un-
der way. He will probably locate per-
manently in Lancaster this spring.
j. C. Edgington of Flora neigh
bOrhOod, is nursing left hand that
has been giving him more than ordin-
airy trouble. Mr.. Edgington was do
ing carpenter work at the Ed Bishel
place several weeks ago and in some
manner injured his thumb, but paid
no attention to it. Later it commenced
to swell and for the past two weeks
Mr.. Edgington has been to DR.. Doc
Titles office daily. Lancing has given
some relief and the hand begins to
look better now.
The performance of ''The Honey
moon" at the Hatch opera house New
Years eve, deserves mention even
though belated. The company which
consisted of five players performed
their parts very creditably and with
considerable enthusiasm. The cos
tunes which hardly cost $4,000 unless
it be stage money, were handsome and
suited the period of the play very adj
mirably. A fair sized house saw the
play. Mr.. Hatch has been able in his
quiet way to secure some good plays
this season.
Those pictures at the high school
are certainly improving all the time
both as to quality of films and me-
chanical work in projecting them.
Last Wednesday evening Mr.. Adams
was showing scenes in France and
Italy that were decidedly interesting.
There was also a three-reel feature
called "The Awakening of John Bond"
that dealt with tuberculosis, it's hor-
rOrs and remedies-the latter being
good, food pure air, sunlight and prop
er living conditions. While the pat
ronage so far has not been as large
as might be expected Mr. Adams feels
that by getting the best possible the
school pictures will become very pop
ular.

annual "shakedown" at the chapel
last Tuesday evening. The room was
packed with an audience that gave
every evidence of having thoroughly
good time. Miss Margaret Doll gave
several fine readings and selections
on the piano in her usual excellent
style. Mrs. A. G. Mitchell, the oldest
member of the church, gave clever
reading, and Alex Ivey entertained
with the old war ditty, Beans, Beans,
Beans" Mrs. Kinney and others
helped with the program, and i'm
promptu selections were generally en-
joyed. Then came an old-fashioned
spelling bee-a form of entertainment
that never loses it's charm. Light re-
freshments were served and all went
home saying the ''shakedown" was a
fine institution.

Mrs. William Kaap gave a surprise
