HOUSE WARMING
SURPRISE

On Thursday afternoon last, about
25 ladies, neighbors and friends of
Mrs. w. C. Weisel, enjoyed a house
warming at the latter's beautiful
home. The affair was in the nature
of surprise" and proved to be a
really truly surprise. The hostess
proved herself wholly equal to the oc-
casion however, and most graciously
and cordially welcomed her guests.
Tables were arranged for cards for
those who cared to play bridge, while
others enjoyed a social visit in the
pleasant sun parlor. The guests had
provided a delightful lunch which was
served late in the afternoon.
Everyone was most delighted with
the pleasant afternoon and with the
opportunity offered them to visit Mrs.
Weisel in her beautiful new home.

WISCONSIN STATE
CRANBERRY
growers ASSN.

Cranmoor, Wisconsin, July 31,-The
31st summer meeting of the Wiscon-
sin State Cranberry Growers Asso-
citation will convene at the Grand
Rapids street car Pavilion near Ne
koosa, Wis, at 1000 A NJ, Tuesday
Aug. 13, 1918. A full attendance is
greatly desired as subjects of import
ance will be presented for considera-
ton and papers Of note submitted.
1t has been thought best to change
the order of exercises this year, be-
ginning the day with morning ses-
gram proper at an early hour in the
afternoon after which there will be
ample time and more autoes to con-
vey those wishing to visit the marshes
or meet the early evening train at
Babcock, without losing any of the
topics or discussions. 1t is hoped all
will try to reach the Pavilion at the
hour designated that there may be
no delay in the proceedings.
A very enjoyable feature of the
day in years gone by was the dinner,
when the donated food was prepared
and served by the home cranberry
ladies at either Cranmoor or Mather.
With the great amount of labor en-
tailed and the loss of convenient fa-
cilities, this has become an impossi-
bility; neither are we able to secure
societies or individuals to serve for us
The nearest approach to revive this
social noun together seems to be to
invite each family-far and near-to
provide and serve their basket lunches
entire. While we cannot promise hot
coffee or ice cream we hope to find
some to take this concession.
The Pavilion assures comfortable
quarters, is beautifully located and
literally provided with tables, chairs
and other conveniences. To those pre-
ferring hot meals, the street cars af-
ford easy access to Nekoosa and Grand
Rapids hotels.
AS matter of convenience to visit
ing members, the Wisconsin Gran
berry Sales Company will hold their
business meeting at the close of the
afternoon session.

Secretary.
