Well, the big show Is over, and be-
Esvs Us II was some doings- We

and there was. Not only was the
crowd large but il was z not of car
nival. fun and noise There was SO
much 10 this that At first We had IL
tended 70 write up large article and
give description Of al the various
departments and attractions, but the
job Is too big without rslng leaving
ont somebody who We would Ike 10
mention with the resl, so re are 60
! ing 70 give ii general wrte-up and
j lsl II 60 al that. First, We want to
express appreciation 70 Nj E J.
Psgg, for the splendid spirit shown
lin donating the use Of his splendid
nsw gsrage-whien is one of the En-
est Of its kind in the state and ere
dit 70 him-his generosity has enabled
& good cause 20 realize e handsome
sum Of MONEY Il has sntzilec lot
Of work for him with added expense,
but he is patriot Of TIE right kind
and al he cared about was 10 see the
cause for which the big show last
! night was gotten up great big sue
! cess-sod he won out Next We want
! 10 commend TIE Eastern Star ladies'
anc the other, along with the nen
folks, who helped put II over" Trey
worked faithfully and well and the
fruits Of their labor will be ten fold
not only in the money raised but in
! the satisfaction Of knowing tia. they
were engaged in good work. To
; Msssrs- Herman Stern and Edw IN
Bloom for the splendid manner in
! which the decorative idea was carried
out and those who assisted them. The
big building was lastly decorated
and the many japanese lanterns used
! around the lights e-ested e pleasing
effect. We don't know where TO stop
in giving praise, there are so many
taking part-ve viii just say TO one
and all, well done. From the time the
doors were opened early in the eve
ming. there was constant stream Of
people entering the building, many
Of them going in costumes, Of every
known description, TOO numerous TO
! mention. and from that time On 70
the finish il was regular whirlWind
Of noise and frolic About O'Clock
+, Hubbsrd's Jazz Band started up with
the opening march and the dance was
on with Uncle Sam and Columbia
! leading the march the rest Of the peo-
pie representing all kinds Of people
, IN cusrums, paradsd the hall for sew
eral minutes Il was some procession
and from that time On things went
along in lively shape. The noise was
deafening at times and the confetti
was flying around thick and fast, bu.
the people were there for time and
they were getting it, abby assisted by
the kids whose main object in life
was TO see how much noise they could
make. In the carnival room down
stairs were many attractions and mid.
way performers were worked over
time IN entertaining the maddenine
rhrong. Bankers howled loud anG
Justify in telling of the great attrac
tons to be seen and the people fel
for it-some got stung-especislly il
:, the chamber of horrors-while other,
refused to say anything about it-jus
like regular midway There were
; novelty booths, chamber of horror
show. moving pictures, fortune telling
booth, hamburger stand for those wht
: were hungry, shooting gallery, pop
corn stand, vaudeville performances
! eating stands and complete cabare
with regular performers. The carni
: val was humdinger and there wa.
: something doing all the time. Thel
: there came the auction sale. This i,
= our opinion did not measure up to tn.
usual standard Of Red Cross auctions
r The bidders were timid and thing
] went cheap. The only thing that ha,
= a semblance Of being real was whe,
e Herman Winterer bought a little pi.
and paid $50 for it. OF course porl
+ has always been very high and sine,
: the cash and carry system went int.
= effect it has been higher. We expec
g Nr. Winterer will realize handsomel,
e on the pig. Auctioneer Mart Masol
: worked hard to get the crowd enthus
g iasric but the lure of the upper reg
e ions and the noise kept the biddin;
2 down. In conclusion We want to sa,
d that the whole affair was a grand sue
/, cess. Not only have the ladies raise
= money to furnish the boys with com
r fort kits-the amount we have no
learned yet-but the affair proved on
iof the biggest times from q stand
point of a good time that has bee
pulled off for some time in this city
