gregational church 10 the number of
thirty gathered at the parsonage on Fri
day night last to spend a social evening
with their teacher, the Rev. w. E. Baker
and Mrs. Baker, who are soon to leave
for Ottawa, Canada. Mr.. Baker was
not aware of their intentions, and upon
returning from down street was some
what astonshed to find that his home
had been invaded by a troop of merry
makers. He recovered himself grace
fully, however, and exerted himself nobly
throughout the evening to entertain his
unbidden guests. After an hour spent in
games and general hilarity, Mrs. L. c.
Robinson by means of an impressive
ceremony presented MIR. Baker in behalf
of the class with a seal ring, as a small
testim Cnial OF esteem and affection, while
Mrs. Baker found herself the recipient of
pretty brooch. Mr. Baker expressed
his appreciation of both gifts in a few
we'll chosen words, and after delicious
supper the guests departed, voting their
host thoroughly adequate to
the occasion.

HARVEST FESTIVAL OCT. S & 6

The exhibits for the Harvest Festiva
this year will be placed in the Towr
Hall. The garden and field products
will be located on the second floor while
the women's exhibits will be located
on the first floor. Exhibits from the
garden or field must have been produc-
ed during 1917, but the women may ex-
hibit work in their department regard
less of the year in which it was made.
The livestock will be placed in stalls in
the field next TO the town hall.
A change has been made for this year
in entering exhibits, all day Friday be-
ing devoted to this with the exception
of the livestock which may be entered
on Saturday up to 10 o'clock.
| Another change has been made in
the payment of prizes. The prizes will
be paid the following Saturday, Octo-
ber 18th, at the Town Hall from 3 to 5
p. M Those holding prize tickets must
present them at the Town Hall on that
day IN order to get their money.
Music for the day will be furnished
by the Crandon band. They will play
in the parade, and give concert in
the afternoon and evening.
One of the features of the afternoon
will be big base ball game between
Wabeno and Soperton ball teams. The
boys are now getting their joints
loosened up, and the kinks taken out of
their backs so that there will be some
thing doing when they clash on the
diamond on Saturday. This will be
the champions game of the season,
and will put the big league games way
in the background. Every loyal Wabe-
no and Soperton rooter will be needed
at the front on that day. Efforts are
being made to get every auto in the
township to enter the parade. There
are about fifty cars in the township,
and with these entered, decorated or
not, we will have splendid start to-
wards a big parade. Every auto it
possible should be decorated with our
national colors or flags. A prize of
$5 90 and So so will be offered for the
best decorated autos.
! Programs of the Festival will be dis
tributed this week. A quantity will be
placed in each postoffice where they
may be obtained.
Suggestions for preparing potatoes
for exhibition at Harvest Festival:
| If you select your exhibit as you are
digging you will have much better
chance to get fine potatoes. After
they are in the bin or crate, they are
bruised and the skin is broken. Pick
them up and let them dry for couple
of hours. Then wrap each potato in a
piece of paper and they will keep their
color and will not be bruised. Select
about nine Or ten ounce size if pos
sible. Select smooth, even size with
shallow eyes. Throw out any potatoes
with scab, or other disease. Do not
wash potatoes. Brush off the dirt with
an old clothes brush
