BON HoMME COUNTY s D. THURSDAY, September u. u


the rear of the parade came Kaiser
Bill" represented by q goat, at which
the boys were kicking and subjecting
tn all manner of insults. treatment
which the crowd heartily approved
but which the goat. fittingly repre-
senting the character that he imper-
sonated, held up his head and seemed
to think the whole world was crazy
but himself.
Following the parade the crowd
gathered at the big tent on First
street where Red Cross Pageant was
given. The first character was Flor.
ence Nightingale, represented by Mrs.
George Dunmire; followed by Doro-
thy Dix by Mrs. j. R. Wilson, and
Clara Barton. by Mrs. c. ]. Dickson
The organi cation at the present day
was represented by Iris Alter and
Irene Mason. This completed the
exercises Of the forenoon.
Owing to the fact that the Milwau.
kee train, true to its custom, was one
hour late. Gov. Norbeck, who was to
address the crowd at one o'clock, had
not arrived, so Sargeants Walliser of
Scotland, and Rowan and McAllister of
Parker. all of whom have recently
returned from France to become in
structors at environments. were invit-
ed to give the audience some Of their
experiences, and it is needless to Say
that each one as he came forward was
given hearty reception and cheers.
Their talks were much enjoyed, and
in fact during the entire day they
were kept busy answering questions
by people who have relatives over in
France and were anxious to hear
from them.
The auction sale was then started
with five auctioneers doing the talk
fest, and they certainly did it to per.
lection. They were w. A. Cobb,
Robert Berry Of Avon, Jake Meyers
of Memo, Hall of Trip and Kostal
of Tabor. We are unable this week
to give the result Of the sales as many
articles have not yet been sold, the
sale lasting until after ten o'clock p.
M, and could not be completed. The
banks have since been so busy with
preparation for the Liberty Loan
drive that the footings have not been
made on the articles that were sold
A partial list only of the sales can be
given: Three five dollar gold pieces
contributed by the three Sergeants
present were sold and resold, bringing
from $500 TO SITS each time until
the total was about So, 200; cake
brought $500; the league ball brot
$3.50. the meals served brought over
$7O0, and the dance about $500.
Reports from sale of live stock and
produce have not been received.
Fourteen hogs will be shipped to
market, and also some grain left un-
sold will be marketed at the elevator.
At five O'Clock the sale was sus-
pended for half hour while the
crowd listened to patriotic and in
| spring address by Gov. Norbeck.,
After supper the crowd gathered at
| the tent and listened to grand con-
cert given by the Yank ton band. This
is a superior musical organization and
does not have to take hack seat for
any of the high class bands of the
country. The band wishes to extend
its thanks to the ladies of the Red
Cross for the courteous treatment ac-
corded them. and the ladies certainly
can thank the band for much of the
enthusia sm aroused which added much
to the success of the sales.
The dance in the evening was a
pleasant feature of the days sports.
and the fine moving picture show at
which special films suited to the oc.
casion were shown, was an attractive
feature
Everybody worked diligently for
the success of the big drive, and the
results were very gratifying to all.
We hope to be able to give a more
detailed report of the sales next week.
