Pella, July 27.-Intense interest in
the departure OF the nine young men
from Pella on Monday last, has been
the big event of this week. The
boys went from Pella to Knoxville
and there joined the Marion county
contingent OF IS men for Camp Pike,
Little Rock, Arkansas. They were
William Baer, Edward Wander Lin
den, Tunis Kempkie, George Yer
Steeg, B. +. Keables, J. ]. Wander
Heiden, Arie N. DeReus. William S.
Van Hemert and Peter Beintema. And
as though this was not enough for
one town, large number went by
train and auto to Oskaloosa Wednes'
day to see the large contingent from
Mahaska county off to the same camp,
And this indicates how closely allied
munities, as in the Mahaska quota
were perhaps the sons of relatives
and friends and it was this inter.
county interest that caused the I'M
usually large crowd.
chautauqua PIeases
| The Peiia Chautauqua of last week
was large and overlooking success
and as some of the talent are to ap
pear again at the Chautauqua in Os
kaloosa in August, no doubt they
will be heard again with added delight
President M. j. Hoffman of Central
College was an ideal platform mana
ger and kept things moving Five
days with afternoon and evening pro
/ grams filled the week full of events
and the program as whole was q
continuous delight.
New College Buildings.
Construction work at the new
buildings being erected on the
grounds of Central College is moving
along and it will not be long before
the larger building will be under
cover. The walls are being faced
with varied colored bricks and SC
mixed as to produce a notified effect
in the form of framed panel. In
general appearance the effect is de
cidedly pleasing. H. H. Phinney Of
Oskaloosa has the contract and this
in insclf is a guarantee of good work
1t will be a splendid piece of archi
| ecture when ii is entirely completed
Band Members in Call.
| The concert of the Pella Band last
| Thursday evening was of more thar
usual interest on account of the go
| ing of Leader Tunis Kempkes with
the boys to Camp Pike as well as
three others of the band. This
handicap did not spoil the music
| however, as Hugo Kuyper is the new
| director and new men will be added
to bring the band up to its usuaI
complement in numbers. Pella has
4 good band and one that she car
we'll afford to be proud of in its eff
| eectiVe work.
| Absence is Felt.
Changes have been necessary in
he makeup of the Model Clothing
| Company on account of Tunis Kemp
'ies going to Camp Pike. His broth
hr, Jay Kempkes, will take his place
III the store, but as Tunis was a
Joung man of varied ability, his
place in other public positions will
| De hard to fill. Aside from being
the leader of the band, he was a
member of the Library Board and al
so held other positions of a public
nature. The going of a young man
like this is keenly felt in any com
munity.
Bubbling Fountains.
One feature of Pella that is greatly
appreciated by the people during this
| hot weather are the sanitary foun.
| tains of bubbling water that are
| placed at the four corners of the
public square, as well as in other
parts of the city. This is an innova,
| ton that reflects large credit as a
matter of health and enterprise in.

Camp Dodge and has there passed his
examinations as a snare and trap

acquainted with and their company
