AN EVENING OF CAYfTY
CLOSES RATTLE FOR BONDS
Large Crowd Assemblies for Final
Drawings. Reay Mackay Bids
$500 for Counterpart

to be present at the closing exercises
of the ticket raffle for Liberty Bonds
in the High School auditorium Sat
urday evening will find agreement
in the statement that no more charm
ing social affair has been held here
this season.
The galleries were filed, as were
the seats surrounding the assembly
hall. with a gathering truly repre-
sentative of the best spirit of the
time each seeming to vie with the
other in response to every appeal for
financial aid to the great cause
The absence of other decorative
features was supplied by the many
pretty gowns which gave a delight
full coloring to the assembly.
The music furnished by Marsh &
Austin orchestra was excellent, and
the opening solo the "Marsellaise"
by Leslie Brigham, served as an ap-
propriate introduction to the occasion
On the stage was a wheel of I'M
mense proportions with numbers up
to 100. which was brought into play
between the dances to determine the
winners of the Liberty Bonds.
1t was not until late hour that
the last of the fortunate ones was
announced but so keen was the in
terest that the crowd remained until
the final drawing.
II was deemed advisable to cancel
the more formal program which had
been prepared in view of the time
consumed in the drawings. The en-
tire affair was planned by a group
of young men in the Reclamation
Service who had successfullyScarried
out a similar rafrie in connection with
previous bond issue.
This committee consisted of, Sales,
F. N. Cronholm, Chairman w. H.
Blaekmer and ]. r. Post, Entertain
ment, Dean Stuver, G. F. Engle and
Geo. B. Snow.
One of the chief contributing fac
tors toward the splendid success of
the entire affair. according to the
committee, were the young ladies of
the High School who did valiant SER
vice in the matter of sales, under the
direction of Mrs. G.. NJ Gardner and
Miss Geissler
Their cheerful cooperation il seems
is not to pass without fitting recog-
milton and already there are plans
under way for an expression of this
in some public manner.
The total number of series sold
was 34 representing an addition to
the war fund of about S1700 which
is considered complete gain COM
ing as it did in small amounts that
would not otherwise be applied for
this purpose.
The following were the winners,
three of these receiving the favoring
smiles of Dame Fortune in double
measure. Mrs. Charles w Kinney,
H. F. Buerer and Fred Schuebach,
being thus honored.

Before the close of the drawings
for the Liberty Bonds another draw
ing took place when the beautiful
counter pane, the handiwork of
Mrs. Fannie Painter. and in the sale
of tickets for which the donor of the
article had devoted much time. was
put on view and the fortunate win
ner was found to be Mrs. e. l.. Bing-
ham who returned It for an auction
sale.
| Fred Steinbrook was commander
ed as auctioneer and filled the role
creditably as he succeeded In stimu-
lating bidding until the coveted piece
finally became the possession Of
Reay Mackay whose bid was $500,
this bringing the total sum received
to s131.o0.
"Raffies is Raffles," proof of this
being. that Notwithstanding the large
number of tickets purchased by the
Office force of the Reclamation Ser
vice not bond fell to any member.
They admit, however. that they
had sufficient reward in the financial
results of the two-weeks' drive.
