LOCAL PEOPLE WILL GO
TO COUNCIL BLUFFS

Many of our local people are pre-
pairing to attend the Military Carnival
at Council Bluffs, beginning Septem-
Der Bird, when Council Bluffs and
western Iowa will work all week to
accumulate mess fund for the mem
bers of Companies B, L and Unit X.
The first two companies have already
left the Bluffs b company, Dodge
Engineers, being at Deming, New
Mexico, while L company delighted
thousands at the state fair by it's mil
itary drill. This is the company
which is called the crack drill COM
pany of the state, and was chosen to
emulate the latest tactics. Relatives
Of the local men in the company are
proud that their boys are members of
the best company of the state, and
are arranging to attend the Military
Carnival to do their bit in boosting
the mess fund
A number of the young people are
organizing auto parties so that this
community will be we'll represented
on the different days, and there will
be enough local people in attendance
at the same time to make it local
tary Carnival will be revelation to
those who have visited other carnivals
this year, as the Council Bluffs peo-
pie will put on three shows that cam
not be compared with professional
talent. The big Keeline Girl Show
numbers in it's aggregation of artists
society girls who have taken lessons
from the best finishing dancing teach
ers in the west, and there is probably
no other cause for which they would
give public exhibitions Of the latest
dancing poems set to music. The
finale to the Wood Nymph's Song to
The Rising Sun shows eight of Coun-
ell Bluffs most beautiful society girls
dressed as wood nymphs, of rare
beauty of face and form, gathered to
worship the rise of the sun. This
dance is u spring poem in itself, and
every member of the octette is q fin
ished dancing artist.
The Frontier Bar will be opened
for the big week and those who have
attended services of the knights of
the Full Moon will recognize many fa-
miliar faces and mugs. The knights
singers will be found in the big min
strel aggregation, which is complete
show by itself.
Hundreds of people from this vi
entity will be glad to hear the fam
GUS Iowa Regimental band, as the au-
thorities in charge have taken kindly
to the Military Carnival idea, and will
send Iowa's best band to do it's bit
for their brother soldiers. The fact
that all profits are to go to the mess
fund has, aroused the patriotic feeling
of all good citizens, and many who
have not been in the habit of frolic
ing around carnivals, will attend in
order to help the boys who are clad
in khaki. Monday, September 3rd, has
been declared holiday in Council
Bluffs, and people of this vicinity will
start early so as to take part in the
morning parade. Plans are being
made to decorate local cars, all of
which are invited 70 get into the line
of parade, and it is expected all vest
ern Iowa communities will be repre-
scented, as the roster Of the three COM
panies contains the names of men
| from all over this section.

appreciated by local people will be
