say swell time, most of those pres
ent being under heavy pressure after
the second course. But all good
things come to an end some time and
so it was with this real feed" Then
the decks were cleared for action and
Mayor I. j. Moe being drafted for
toast master called on the following
gentlemen, accompanying each call
with a neat introduction, for a talk:
President C. E. Allen, L. S. B. Richie,
Rev. J. w. Wilds, John Tracy, Prof.
Meyer, P R. Trubshaw, G. w. Hanna,
E. C. Hilborn, and I. J. Moe, who each
gave a nice and to the point talk on
the various. efforts of the four minute
men and other workers in war work,
and felicitating the host for the splen-
did time had during the evening. The
last speaker then turned out one Of
the best talks of the evening. ale
voiced his pleasure at the work done
by the four minute men and others
who had helped along the cause and
said it gave him great pleasure to
have those present as his guests last
night. In conclusion he wanted to
give certificates of honor to a few Of
the company in appreciation of work
done and in a few well chosen re-
marks handed a neatly framed certi-
fcate of final discharge to L. S. B.
Richie, E. C. Hilborn, C. A. Robinson
and P. r. Trubshaw. The gift was
appreciated very highly by the re-
cipients of the same.
Mr.. Stern, in his quiet and effective
manner, has been the head Of the
four-minute movement in Barnes
county. Like everything else he goes
into he does so with enthusiasm and
earnestness, with very little noise, but
he gets there very effectively just the
same, and to him the county at large
owes a heavy debt for the time and
interest he has put into this movement
and as chairman made such splen-
did success of it.
The banquet last night, at which he
so modestly played the host, and fur
nished those present with such q
pleasurable evening, was thoroughly
carried out in every detail and was 9
great success all along the line, and
| in that success he was so ably sec
onded by the experienced "chef" Of
the Kindred for the way in which il
| was cooked up and served, and to the
dining room girls for the efficient ser
| vice in seeing that it was properly
put before the guests. Mr.. Stern is
past master at doing things thor.
oughly which he so ably demonstrated
| in the success of his party last night.
