The Gard Party.

Interest is growing in the care
parties given in the |. O. o. F
hall every two weeks for the ben.
eft of the Red Cross.
The crowd that attended Mon.

SO far this winter. More than 10C
persons were present, requiring %
tables to accommodate the play
ers-4 to each table.
First prizes were won by Geo.
Terhaar and Mrs. lola Giezentan-
ner. The first prizes were a 5O-lb
sack of Tip Top flour and a 25-
Id sack of barley flour, both do
mated by John Meyer of the Cot
tonwood Milling Co.
The winners promptly donated
both sacks back to the Red Cross
and they were sold to the highest
bidder, Mr.. Meyer buying the Tip
Top flour back again for Sill. He
donated it again to the Red Cross
and it was then raff1ed off at 1Oc
a chance and brought So, the win
ner this time being Mrs. Shinnick.
The sack of barley flour was
bought by G. A. Johnston of the
hotel for $2.75.
The proceeds of the evening
were Salts, the door admissions
at 25c each being $26 and from
the flour $21.75.
The next party will be held on

Cottonwood Creamery Go. Holds
Annual Meeting.

At regular annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Cotton
wood Cooperative Creamery Co.
held Monday in the K. c. hall
the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
Directors Henry Bosse, C. T..
Stahl and Ed Blake.
Manager, Secretary and Treas
urer-Edward Blake.
P. A. Gaul, who ably and most
energetically filled the position of
manager, secretary and treasurer
the past year, to the entire salts
faction of the stockholders and all
concerned, found that his time
was too much taxed with his num-
erous other interests to continue
longer as manager of the Cream
cry Co., and for this reason refus-
ed reelection to the position.
MIR. Blake, the new manager,
will move his family to Cotton
wood from Keuterville in order to
be able to give his entire time to
the business.
The creamery is enjoying a very
prosperous business, which is high
ly satisfactory to the stockholders.
During the past year $4,000
pounds of butter and 5000 gallons
of ice cream were made and sold,
and 300 cases of eggs shipped.

Death of Mrs. Lansing.

After long illness with COM
plants common to old age, the
death of Mrs. Gertrude Lansing
occurred Wednesday, Feb. 18th,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Herman Funke, two miles north
of Cottonwood. The burial took
place today, Friday, in the Cath
olic cemetery, the funeral services
being conducted in the church at
9 o'clock by Father Willibrord.
Mrs. Gertrude Lansing, whose
maiden name was Gertrude Dal-
drupp, was born in Westphalen,
Germany, on April l, 1887. She
came to America in 1916 with her
parents and located in Burling-
ton, Wis. On May 10, 1855, she
was married to Wenzel Lansing.
From this union were born seven
children, three of whom are alive
Mrs. Edward Mann of Camete,
Oklahoma; Mrs. Herman Funke
of Cottonwood, Idaho, and Frank
Lansing of Ossian, Iowa. Her
husband died in 1869, leaving her
widow for 49 years. She resid-
ed on her farm in Iowa for 10
years, since which time she made
her home with her daughter for
the last 30 years, coming out with
the Funke family from Iowa five
years ago last December.
Herman W. Funke, a soldier
from Camp Lewis, expected to be
present at the funeral, but his
train was delayed and he tele-
phoned from Spokane last night
that he could not arrive here be-
fore this evening. He will remain
here perhaps a week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Funke desire in
this manner to thank the kind
friends for their sympathy and
assistance during their bereave-
ment.

Idaho Apples to Boys in France

A Boise dispatch dated Feb. 9th
says:
Idaho apples will be sent to
American soldiers in France.
Free transportation has been pro-
vided by railroad and steamship
lines and the Boise Commercial
club and other organizations in
southern Idaho will buy the ap-
Piles.
An effort was made to secure
contributions of apples, but it
was found the only suitable fruit
was in storage and for this reason
it will be necessary to buy it.
A rate of 81 a box, for this pur-
pose only, has been obtained and
the money will be raised by pop
ular subscription.
Boise's quota is 5000, with which
200 boxes will be purchased. Ev-
cry dollar subscribed means a
box of apples laid down in France
for the Sammies. The DISPOSE
tion of the fruit after it's arrival
will be left to the American Red
Cross, which will see that the ap-
pies are sent to hospitals and to
the men at the front.

Annual Meeting Of Water Co.

The Cottonwood Water & Light
Co. held a regular annual meet
ing Monday for the purpose of
electing new officers and transact
ing business usual at such meet
ings.
The following were elected as a
board of directors Geo. F. Simon,
Geo. M. Robertson, H. C. Mat
thiesen, Felix Martzen, A. L.
Creelman, w. M. Schiller and
John Peterson.
The board organized by elect
ing Geo. M. Robertson president,
Felix Martzen vice president, H.
c. Matthiesen treasurer and W.
M. Schiller secretary.
The new schedule of rates will
soon be printed on cards and dis
tributed among the water-users.
When the new city we'll is COM
pleted there will be plenty of wa
ter for all purposes, and especially
for fire protection.
The fact that all of the stock
holders are local citizens who are
interested in the welfare of the
town makes it of much greater
advantage to the town generally
than if the water plant was in the
hands of outsiders who would
have no interest in the advance
ment of our interests.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB DOINGS
Arrangements Completed
for LYceum-C -Chataugua.

At the regular meeting of the
commercial club Monday the club
voted to continue the Lyceum
for the coming year, under a mod
flied plan. The club signed a
contract with the Midland Ly-
ceum bureau of Des Moines, Ia.
for the appearance here during
the coming winter of the Joseph
Dominick Concert Co., The Cam
bridge Players and the Strollers
Male Quartette.
During an intermission at the
Lyceum entertainment last night,
within a few minutes time one
hundred pledges were signed up
for season tickets for the next Ly-
ceum course, and there is no doubt
that scores of Others will follow
suit.
The course for the coming sea-
son will be completed by the ad-
dition of three home talent en-
tertainments under the manage
ment of the local Red Cross.
This will make six entertainments
in all. Season tickets will sell
for the same price as charged last
year for only four entertainments
and one lecture. One half of all
money received from the sale of
season tickets goes to the Red
Cross, the other half being re-
served for the payment of the Ly-
ceum attractions. None of the
home people receive a cent of pay
for their services.
This arrangement assures the
public that they will get their
moneys worth on every season
ticket and will also be the means
of helping the Red Cross work in
a substantial way.
If you have not already reserv-
ed your season ticket, leave your
order at any business house in
town. Payment on the tickets
will not be called for until Sept.
list.
Preliminary plans for the Chau-
tauqua which is to be held here
during the latter part of June
were discussed. The Association
is composed of local people who
are guaranteeing the sum of
money necessary in order to bring
the Chautauqua attractions to
our town. A proposition was
placed before them whereby they
could have reduced their liability
on this contract if they would
agree to some changes in the pro-
gram. But the members of the
association decided that the peo-
pie of Cottonwood and vicinity
were entitled to the very best on
the Chautauqua platform, and
they voted to carry out their plans
along that line even though it
means a financial loss to them.
