las luchas del pensamiento, un

THE BIGGEST
 BANQUET EVER
Served On Tables Over a Mile Long On Banks of Sus-
 quehanna River
Frank F. Davenport, Formerly o
 Pomfret, Did lt.

If you are a good guesser and want a little problem here it is. Sec if you can guess it before reading the an- swer further down the column. How many hungry soldiers do you think 1t would take to eat 1900 q 1-2 tons) of chickens; and 50 bushels of pota- toes; and 1000 cans of peas; and 1000 rolls; and 1900 canteloupes; 2b00 ice cream bricks; 200 punches of celery; 4S1 homemade cakes, and to drink coffee made from 200 pounds of the bean? Assume that this is just lit- tie banquet served on table over a mile long on the bank of the Susque- hanna river and that it had to be eat en, how many do you think it would properly feed?
 This was a banquet problem that Frank Davenport, son of MT. and Mrs. H. H. Davenport, now caterer Tn Harrisburg, Pa, had put up to him only he had the other end of it. He solved the problem and has the repu- tation of serving the biggest banquet ever given in the Keystone state. The problem that Davenport had put up to him includes the answer to the problem set out above, and if you have guessed you may see how good a guesser you are.
 There was to be home coming eel ebration in Harrisburg and good substantial meal was required for 5000 returned soldiers. It would be difficult enough to figure out menu for 5000 appetites, but to figure il out for three thousand returned sol dier appetites was trick for WIZ ard. The Davenport service slogan is No banquet too large---no banquet too small-for Davenports. This had to be lived up to and now that tho banquet has been served and served successfully and every soldiers bell loosen after it was over, the Daven- port service points to the banquet as a good advertisement as well as an in' teresting fact.
 | The huge meal was prepared on ter army camp stoves and 10000 pieces of dinnerware and silverware were used. The National War Aid, the Boy Scouts, and the Girl Scouts as sisted in serving.
