parlors Of the church were beautifully
decorated by the Daughters Of 1sa-
bella who had charge of the banquet.
Covers were laid for two hundred and
the tables were filled both with guests
and a bountiful supply Of good things
to eat. The Daughters did themselves
proud and showed themselves experts
in the culinary line and that they
know how to effectively stage and
manage a banquet. All present vot-
ed it the best ever. Grand Regent
Mrs. Felix Reuter- and the officers
and members Of the Daughters of lsa-

Owing to the fact that Mr.. Clear
Monley of Grand Forks had to leave
on No. 80 he was not present to res
pond to his numbers and Miss. Eliza
beth Dostert was called upon to and
responded with a vocal solo which was
greatly enjoyed. Besides under the
direction of Toastmaster Edward =.
Flynn with Mrs. J. A. Cowan at the
piano community singing was indulg-
ed in and the list of songs issued for
the Victory Loan were sang with
hearty good will by the banqueters n
one great chorus and this, as conf
munity singing always does, spread
the feeling of good will and conrad
ship until everybody whether he could
sing or not joined in the chorus. 1t
is needless to say that those who were
present went away filled it'll enthu-
siasm for the Victory Loan and when
the subscriptions to the Victory Loan
are counted the Knights Of Columbus
present will be found to have done
their share and some more in the
great drive.
,I~nterspersed with the singing the
following program of toasts was CIV
en- and they do say that the toasts
were as good as the spirit Of the oc-
casion demanded and that means were
good indeed. The banquet program.

names of all the visiting knights and
ladies. They came from all over the
State of North Dakota and even from
as far away as the Twin Cities. 1t

the local council since the institution
of the council.
