SKILLET CREEK
FARMERS CLUB

The attendance at the Skillet Creek
Farmers club meeting on Friday even
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. E.
WEIGH was fairly good, but if all mem
bers had been present it would have
been better.
! A considerable part of the program
before visiting intermission was carried
out by pupils of the Skillet Creek
school, Miss Lena Alvin, teacher.
Song, april Showers" by school
| Recitation, Biddy's April Fool, by
Norman Hamburg
Song, Rose Winifred WEIGH and Iva
Irish
| Recitation, The Soldier of Algiers,
WILDER Cowles. Mr.. Cowle's historic
abilities were surprise to his acquaint-
ances. He must have been we'll appre-
ciated in the old spelling school days
J Next followed recitation, The City
Editors Country Song by Edna Fan
tow; drill, No Gentleman Wanted, by
several boys; and paper, Origin of the
! Star Span2led Banner, Winnifred
Welch. This was followed by all singing
our National song led by the young peo-
pie TheStarSpangled5Ban was never
sung better at any previous meeting
of the club. Then came a recitation,
The Wife Hunting Deacon, by Mrs. A.
R. Bassett. We always expect some
thing good from Mrs. Bassett and she
. fully gratifed expectations. Next
were recitations, Boys Wanted, by Ora
Cahoon; drill, Once There was Lady,
three boys; recitation, Children's Hour,
Harley WEIGH, and a recitation, The
Secretary's Retort, VIM. Toole. ST., per-
haps he did we'll, those who listened
can tell. Music by Skillet Creek Junior
band conducted by Miss Winnifred
WEIGH was next or the program.
With picked up iastran ants, tin pa
tin-horn, dust-pan, mouth organ and a
mixed variety of articles this was a
comical imitation of band. Miss VIM
fired gave realistic exaggerated imi-
tation of band masters antics.
The house dog mouthed appreciation
and added much TO the merriment. ALI
OF the young people did so well it would
be hardly fair to specify Individual mer-
ts. The combination of abilities OF the
young people with good training by
Miss Alvin en1 Miss Rodwell gives to,
scholars of the Skillet Creek school
noteworthy distl2cti n.
Albert Wichern. the newly elected
p 'esident of the Sank County Expert
ment Association was asked to speak of
the plans for the next sank county ex-
hibit at the state fair. 1t is case of
all pulling together for the honor of
Sank county. Sank county raises the
products and what we need is 10 assem- |
BILE the articles when needed. To learn
after the fair is over what might have
been, does not help.
If all sections would help as heartily
does the Skillet Creek Community We
could beat the state every time.
After visiting intermission came in |
strumental music by Winnifred WEIGH !
and this was followed by the song.
"Way Down Home in Tennessee" by |
the girls of the Skillet Creek Girl |
Scouts This of course was encored. |
Mrs. Dora Cowles and Mr.. Wilbsr !
Cahoon chose sides for spelling
around and spelling down" The |
words for the first were given by Miss
Lena Alvin and for spelling down by
Miss Jennie Martiny. The stase fair
list was used for spelling down
The contest was very interesting and
Mrs. Cowle's side won. The young
people and the older ones seemed to be
about equally divided in spelling abili-
ties.
The next meeting of the club will be
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. WILDER
Cahoon ON Friday evening, May 3rd.
Miss Jessie Martiny will tell of her
trip to the Pacific coast and visit to
the Panama Exposition and Mr.. Willis
Ryan will present the question. "Shal
We Have a County Representa-
tive?"
