The Denison band enjoyed days
outing and picnic dinner at Denison
Beach, Wall Lake, Sunday last. The
weather was ideal, just sprinkle dur
ing the dinner hour which only
served to sharpen the appetites of
the boys. Seven autos were used to
carry the boys, their instruments and
the s'eats," and an early morning
start proved invigorating. At the
lake "Gus" took charge of the water
barrel, and Mrs. Mote, Mrs. Dan Voss
and the Misses Dorothy Pfarr, Adele
Brandt, Ida Bosacker and Ethel Kline
Echaperoned the lunch. The first event
of the day was one of patriotism, flag
raising, John Riggleman furnishing a
beautiful silk flag which proudly
waived as the band rendered "The
Star Spangled Banner" The lunch
baskets were we'll filled by the, fam
| lilies and friends of the band boys, and
president of the Pfarr-Gebert-Hun
cigars. This firm also sent delic-
ious watermelon as DESSERT section
of the lunch. Geo. Menagh and Co.
also have the thanks Of the entire
crowd for their liberal donations to-
ward the success of the dinner. @
After dinner there was plenty of
music which soon drew the attention
of hundreds of pleasure seekers at the
lake, and DenisOn was again placed
upon the map from music stand
point. A large pleasure launch was
at the boys disposal and trip around
the lake with music galore was only
one of the many enjoyable events of
the day. Bathing, singing, fishing and
Visiting among friends completed the
outing and the boys returned home
well satisfied in conscience and with
an appeased appetite.
Roy Mote does not blow an instru-
ment, but oh, boy, he can blow tire.
When nearing West Side on the re-
turn trip front tire on the big Win
ton exploded, causing a general rush
for gas masks.
Professor Gratke was the "noise"
of the day, except during the midday
meal. His capacity for storage is un-
limited; even the rings in the dough
nuts did not pacify him.
"The Old Gray Mare, She Amt
What She Used to Be-" was brought
out by Conductor Barborka; hitched
to a new star and shown with brill.
fancy that defied the clouds.
Mrs. J. L. Riggleman and Mrs.
Jacob Rusterholz won the hearts of
the boys in furnishing an ample sup
ply of fried chicken, and if Gratke
had only taken a jump in the lake,
what supply of chicken the other
fellows would have had.
John Quist, the bashful but hand
some county agent, is some coffee
maker, and if the farmers of Crawford
county take HIS advice on the winter
wheat question as the boys took to
his coffee, there will be grooming
among the wheat bins of the county.
or course, DenisOn beach is outside
OF Crawford county, but word here
and there helps some. Attorney Kah-
Ter, candidate for reelection, has a
faculty of becoming acquainted, even
with outsiders.
