COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS
RITES FOR J. BARLEYCORN
Stems Are Auctioned Off as Souve-
Mrs and Oyster Roast Supplants
Beef Dinner.

Old John Barleycorn was buried at
the Commercial Club last night.
The obsequies were held in connection
with an oyster roast in place of its an
rual beefsteak dinner. 1t was decided
that the late Mr.. Barleycorn should be
laid to rest at this time rather than
wait until tonight, when the grave-dig-
ger will be so everlastingly busy.
So the members gathered around the
bier-the spelling is absolutely cor
rect-and took their final look at the
deceased. He looked natural, but the
members realized that the old man with
the scythe had caught up with him and
his spirit was no more.
One portion of the ceremonies con-
sisted in auctioning off the stems and
pewter mugs at the club as souvenirs.
The roast, which was substituted Tor
the beefsteak dinner to carry out food
conservation plans. was prepared by
President John l.. Weaver, William u
Johnson, Thomas j. Fisher, E. P. Mertz
and James sharp.
