His foe was Privilege; he won the

His fathers idols, old, unique, su-

To make sweet Freedom bloom

Picnic Scored a Big Success.

Measured from the point of attend
ance or from the approval of the vast
assembly who participated in the Sec
ond annual Community Picnic given by
the Edgerton Credit Association on
Thursday last scored big success.
BY actual count it is claimed that close
to 1000 automobiles visited the grounds,
many of them being unable to enter
the Driving Park and were parked on
the Head tract adjoining. Good judges
of crowds claim an attendance of be-
tween 5000 and 1000 people and the
great majority of them spoke in praise
of the entertainment offered. The pro-
gram opened with morning ball game
between Albion Prairie farmers and
Edgerton business men in which the
farmers won by@a score of 9 to Z. For
the picnic dinner served in the grove
adjoining the association furnished free
coffee, cream and sugar or iced tea to
all who wished. After dinner pro-
gram of games and contests took place
that furnished much amusement to the
younger generation. The 100 yard dash
for boys was won by Otto Maves 1st,
Dan Pierce I'd. Martin Oberdick won
the fat mans race and, Mrs. Bates of
Porter the spike driving contest with
Mrs. Willie I'd. In the tug-of-war be-
tween the Albion and Porter teams the
Albion team won a box of Imperial
cigars. In guessing contest of the
number of peanuts in glass tube Miss
Borghild Stalsberg on R. guessed the
exact number, 479, Helen Flarity and
Dorotha Cibell tied for second.
The most interesting event of the day
was the ball game staged between the
Fairbanks Morse team and the Garden
Citys of Chicago which was as real an
exhibition of the national game as the
major leagues usually put up. Had
more stringent ground rules been in
force the score would have been very
close one as two home runs were made
on hits into field of autos.
Chicago. 8 O 0 0 O 0 0 0 0-3
Beloit.....0 0 O 8 I 2 0 1 OF
An appropriate feature was pulled
off as the game started by discharging
of boom that displayed handsome
American flag suspended from para
chute that foated gracefully with the
breeze as the band played America and
the crowd applauded. Following the
game the Edgerton platoon gave an
exhibition drill while bevy of young
ladies carrying flag took up collec-
ton netting over $40 to the company
fund.
The. community dance on the pave
ment OF Swift street opposite the
school building which was illumined by
search lights was witnessed by two or
three thousand people while several
hundred dancers entered into the pleas
ures of the occasion
| The Edgerton band together with a
band and quartet who accompanied the
Beloit team furnished very acceptable
music during the day and evening.
| If those who came to our Community
Picnic had a pleasant days outing the
association who bore the expense
amounting to over $500 feel amply re-
| paid for their time devoted to arrarg-
ing and carrying out so successful an
entertainment
