large Red Cross parade at Mankato
| Saturday. We regret very much that
| Tivoli was not represented in the par
| ade for the Red Cross. 1t was one
of the largest and longest parades
ever seen in Mankato and sight long
to be remembered by all. Mankato is
a large town but was too small Sat
urday for the large crowds Mankato
knows how to parade and every thing
went along nicely.
The Farmers club meeting held
| Saturday evening was well attended.
An excellent program was rendered
Talks were given by the county agent
and assistant, Mr.. Benedict and Mr..
! Coe of Mankato and it is hoped they
! will remember the road and come
back again. Ivan Macbeth was fine
| speaker, too. The music from Eagle
| Lake given by S. Remington and c.
Brown accompanied by G. Beschnett
of TivOli was excellent and a great
| treat for everyone. 1t was regretted
that neither Miss E. Ford or Miss E.
Schmidt were present so that Misses
! Floella Pettis and Lola Cate could
sing. 1t is hoped they all will be
| heard in the near future John Crow
| ley, who was editor of the paper, was
also absent. He will be succeeded by
| Miss Anna Macbeth. Other commit
tees were appointed and the meeting
was adjourned till June Is. %
