It is estimated that 1900 people
we're here yesterday for the county
class adoption of the Modern Wood
men of America and the Royal
Neighbors of America. The drill
team from the Oakdale camp, Sa-
lima, won first prize Of $50 in the
competitive drill. A special train OF
five coaches arrived ON the Union
Pacific from Salina at o'clock and
both the A. o. U. w. and I. o. o. f.
halls were filled to capacity for the
Iadoptions.
A chicken pie supper was served
to 500 at the Workmen hall at 2
o'clock and something of the i'm
mensity of the task may be realized
in the fact that rs chickens were
cooked. This was free to the visit
ors. A class of so was initiated In
the work of Modern Woodcraft. The
Salina team carried the work and
the members did it in good style,
furnishing both mirth and serious
ness to the witnesses. The winning
team was to do this work.
Late in the afternoon the pro-
gram ran behind its schedule which
slightly delayed the evening pro-
gram. The teams from Clay Center,
Concordia, Junction City and Salina
participated in the drill, Junction
City taking second place and Con-
cordia third All the teams with the
bands and the Royal Neighbor dele
cations made up the grand assem-
bly, parade at 1880.
The celebration was in every way
successful. A fifth district battalion
was organized. r. B. Riggs, district
organizer, and ]. X. Markley, head
ing a local committee, along with all
who cooperated are to be commend
ed for the good results of the en-
terprise. All the stores had brisk
trade and Abilene was generally
benefited.

deficit of $35, which it more than
did.
The convention brought a fine
lot of young people to the city and
town and they left, leaving an i'm
preston for the good behind them,
while all took away remembrances
of hearty reception and royal en-
tertainment on the part of the Abb
lene Lutherans and the town as a
whole. The Rev. H. F. Martin and
the league officers received many
deserved words of praise, which
their management of the gathering
justified
Among the resolutions unanimous
ly passed by the convention was the
following:
THAT we express our gratitude
and appreciation to the good people
of Abilene and especially to the
pastor and congregation of Trinity
Lutheran church for their entertain
ment of the convention delegates
and visitors, and to the Ladies' Aid
society, to the local league, with its
officers and committees for their
share in the entertainment and
hospitality, which we have so great
" enjoyed and to the choir and
others who have furnished special
music"
League Notes
A total of 80 senior leaguers and
AZ Junior leaguers attended some
of the sessions from the organiza-
tions of Salina.
Twenty automobile owners gladly
rendered their services and took
the visitors for a spin over the city
yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
Said Alfred j. Bell, Salina, state
treasurer, "Of all the warm well
comes and modes of hospitalities
extended the state Luther League
convention delegates in the towns
in previous years, Abilene's surpass
all. 1t certainly is great"
After one-half hour Of devout
prayer service, beginning at 6 o'clock
Thursday morning. the one hundred
young people hiked to the city park
for an hours recreation. Singular
ly, this is the first body that has used
the park for this purpose since 1t
was purchased by the city.
At noon yesterday all the dele
gates and visitors assembled for the
convention photograph.
