EASTERN STARS
HAVE BIG time

A very delightful time was enjoy
ed Tuesday at the Elks Home by
a large crowd Of our people. The oc-
casion was a party given by the
Eastern Star for the purpose of rails
ing funds to secure comfort kits for
the men who are to go into the gov
ernment service the 29th of this
month and later on. The evening was
spent in dancing, card playing and
general good time, and those pres
ent speak of it as one of the incest
and most enjoyable parties given in
the city. The members of the Elks
lodge have the thanks of those in
charge for the gift of the use Of the
hall free. The Elks threw the build
ing open to the Stars for this occas-
ion and gave every assistance in their
power to make the party a success.
To MIR. Hubbard and his orchestra,
who furnished the very excellent mu-
sic, thanks are also extended. They
gave their services without money
and without price-everybody seems
to catch the spirit of the times and
to vie with each other in trying to
do all that is possible to win the war
and put the boys at the front in good
shape to combat the enemy. We are
informed that approximately $3.50
has been cleared to go into the COM
fort kit fund and we are told that this
amount will furnish kits for the
quota to go at the. end of the month
and possibly for two more quotas.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements were: Mrs. S. P. Ellis,
Mrs. J. H. Seymour, Mrs. Peter Han
son, Mrs. L. E. Hedstrum, Mrs: +: E.
Ployhar, Mrs. C. E. Spicer and Miss
Jessie Sargent. The success of the
party is an evidence that the Eastern
Stars have a lot of hustlers in that
organization.
