The banquet party assembled at
the League rooms at $3.50 O'Clock

where they We're met by the recep-
tion committee and escorted to the
dining room. The scene that met their
gaze was one of quiet elegance and
beauty, The management had made
the arrangements with unusual care
and consideration for harmonious
effect. The wall decorations were of
magnolia and evergreen, while the
tables were banked with wreath of
carnations that prettily set off their
dainty appointments,
The evanmg was made more pleas

by the Ginls' Mandolin club, and un-
der the mellowing influence of Its
music the cares of the past year

Future Work for the Development
League" was the subject the toast
master said had been assigned to him
as the newly-elected president Of the
League. After telling his audience
that he was not a speaker Mr.. Hal
vorsen proceeded to prove that he
must have been mistaken In his esti-
mate of himself Before outlining his
of work for the League dur
ing the coming year he stated his
belief that the community was enter
ing upon an era OF development and |
general prosperity, that apparently the |
men of Mountain Home were more |
confident more optimistic and more |
willing and fit to be boosters than |
they were a year ago. Among the |
things outlined by Mr.. Halvorsen as
being worth working for the coming

MIXING a section of the village streets
to show the value of such improve

the tracks of the Short Line as

be even stronger on the appointment
of committees than was his predeces-

committee would have plenty Of work
to do.
