FOR the Caster Gable

BLOWERS should be the dominant
note in all Easter decorations.
and as Easter Is late this year
have gardens, can be relied on to
make the Easter table beautiful. Don't
be content with flowers only on the
dinner table. Have them at breakfast
to begin the day with. A tulip at each
plate gives a festive appearance to the
table.
One of the pretty place cards for the
Easter dinner makes use of the pussy
willow. Draw the outline OF a cats
head on a small card and paste a fat
pussy willow in position for the cats
body. Then draw a tail and some legs
and you have an amusing card. Rab-
bits can be made in the same way,
with the pussies from a branch of pus-
sy willows for the bodies. Sometimes
a big pussy can be used for the body
and a smaller one for the head, and
the pussy eat or rabbit Is the softer
and furrier.
A table decoration that would ap-
peal to children Is this: Bank white
and yellow flowers in the center of the
table. At each place have a small
basket full of candy eggs. Attach rib
bons for traces TO the basket. and In
the traces put n tiny toy white rabbit
for a horse. Perch a fluffy yellow
chick on the edge of the basket for a
driver. Have all the baskets facing In
the same direction. and the effect will
be quite attractive.
Pretty cards show little chickens or
rabbits drawn In outline and then filled
in with ink in the ann of silhou.
cites. These are drawn very easy to
make and are quite effective.
p 2 2
At dinner a long stemmed daffodil
with the place card tied to the stem
with a bit of narrow pale green or
yellow ribbon is quite effective. The
centerpiece can be formed of daffodils.
II there is no objection to a high CEN
terpiece the daffodils can be placed
with plenty Of green In a rather tall
vase, or else they car be propped up
In a low. flat dish by means of the
Japanese bulb standards that can be
bought at any japanese shop. II a
low c~enterpieee is desired. the stems
can be broken off and the daffodils
can be banked in a bed of moss.
=
Yellow, green and white seem pre-
eminently the Easter eolors for table
decoration. but any other pale color
can be used. Sometimes family pink
tulips car be used with good results.

Easter Dessert.

Should your dessert be an ice choose
yellow torange) or green mint or pis-
tache). The mint ice is delicious and
very pretty. Serve one jonquil OF the
plate beside its cool green color for the
ladies and a tiny b~outonniere of violets
for the gentlemen.

Mrs. George Herrell Dies at Her
Homt in Adrian.

Mrs. George l.. Herrell died at
her home in Adrian Tuesday after
an illness of about two years OF
kidney trouble. While the fact Of
her illness was well known to her
friends, her condition was not
considered as serious until the last
few weeks. Everything that med
ical science and loving hands
could do was done, but it was OF
no avail, the dread disease was the
victor at last.
l. Anna X. Smith was born at
New Bloomfield, Ohio, August
Is, 1884. and moved to Adrian
with her parents in 1886. She
was graduate of the Adrian
schools and attended the Wesley
IAN University at Salina, Kansas.
She was united in marriage to
George Herrell May 81, 1904.
Besides her husband she is sur
vived by two children, Maxine
and Paul. her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. C. Smith, of Adrian, three
sisters, Mrs. Lizzie d. Moses, of
Salina, Kansas, Helen f. Smith,
of Adrian. and Mrs. Josephine c.
Cromer of Riverton, Wyoming,
and one brother, Howard Smith,
of Adrian.
Mrs. Herrell was not what is
known as society woman. Her
interest centered in her home and
in her church. She was a member
of the NJ. E. Church and very ac-
tive in the work of the church, es-
pecially that part pertaining to
young people.
Funeral services will be held at
the NJ. E. Church at Adrian
Thursday afternoon, and the body
will be brought to Butler and in
tered i'm Oak Hill cemetery.

Evening.

The first section Of the train
bearing the Second Missouri In
fantry passed through this city
at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday even
ing enroute to Kansas City from
which point the regiment leaves
for ''some point in Texas.
A large crowd Of several hun
dred people who had gathered at
the depot in Butler to bid them
Godspeed and present the home
boys with many tokens Of re-
membrance and huge boxes Of
good things to eat were sadly dis
appointed when the train passed
through without stopping. Many

kerchiefs as familiar faces were
recognized at the rapidly passing
windows. Several members OF
Co. "B'', learning that no stop
would probably be made in But
Ter dropped hastily scribbled
notes to friends and relatives. The
people of the city and county are
intensely proud of Captain Clarke
and his excellent company of
courageous young men and know
that if put to the test they viii!

Fourth sf July Oslsbrations.

While there was no organized
celebration in Butler this year
there were several little parties
who celebrated on their own hook.
The Monday evening club went
out to the DR.. ley farm north Of
town, where they had q picnic
supper, after which the young
sters had a fine fire works dis
play. Several automobile parties
went to the neighboring towns
where celebrations were being
held. It was. a s'Safe and Sane
Fourth as far as this city was con-
cerned. So far as we have been
able to learn there was no acci-
dents of the kind which are so
apt to happen when young Ameri-
ca celebrates.
One of the most noteworthy
things about the day was that
there was not drunk man to be
seen on the streets at any time
during the entire day. Men who
have lived here for over fifty
years tell us that this was the
first time that that has happened
since the town was founded. Only
a few years ago it was not consid-
cred by some people that the day
had been properly celebrated un-
less there were lot Of drunks
reeling about the streets.
At Peru there was a celebration
and basket picnic but heavy rain
coming up in the afternoon cut
short the merrymaking.
At Hudson the Hudson Town
ship Home Improvement Associa-
ton had charge of the celebration.
Owing to the farmers being so
busy with their crops there WIS
only a small crowd out, but those
who were there came with the in
tention of having good time, and
they did. Rev. R. NJ. Talbert Of
this city, delivered a patriotic ad-
dress which was just finished
when the rain came and put an
end to proceedings.
The Union Christian Endeavor
of Virginia had picnic and SUI.
Ter at that place and in the evc''-
ing Rev. Talbert delivered an APP
propriate- address.
At Hume there was a big cele'
hration. All the candidates for
office. state, county, and township
or any other political subdivision
had been invited to be present an!
make speeches and many OF them
responded. to the invitation.

A MOTOR TRUCK FOR
COMPANY B


Nearly every community in the
state that has company of sol
diers in the mobilization camps OF
on the Mexican border, have done
something for them to make their
duties easier. Bates county has a
company on duty on the Mexican
border, or it soon will be, and not
to be outdone it's citizens have pur-
chased an automobile truck which
was delivered to the company at
Nevada Monday evening.
The money to pay for the truck
is to be raised by popular sub
scription. Mrs. VIM. E. Walton
and Mrs. s. w. Davis represent
ing the Coterie Club took sub
scription paper around the square
Wednesday and met with gener-
our response, but more money is
needed. Company B is a Bates
county organization and the whole
county should have a share in pro-
viding them with anything that
would be an aid to them in any
way.
The climate on the Mexican bor-
der, especially at this season OF
the year is very. hot and there
will be times when the men will
be in camp at some distance from
their base of supplies. 1t is then
that a motor truck will be almost
invaluable in bringing ice and
supplies and taking sick men to
the base hospital where they will
receive prompt medical attention.
A short time gained in getting a
man to the hospital often means
the saving Of his life.
On the march mans equip
ment weighs about As pounds and
under a tropical sun this is rath-
er heavy load to carry on an all
days march. Most Of this equip
page can be placed on q truck;
thus relieving the men 81 a heavy
load. -
You who stay at home are asked
to do your part for the boys at
the front. Subscriptions may be
mailed to any Of the members OF
the following committee:
Mrs. w. E. Walton.
Mrs. S. w. Davis,
C. A. Allen,
j. A. DeArmond,
H. O. Maxey.
