pleasure to hear him picture in words
what this nation and this state have
accomplished in the great war in
= which we took part, and the glowing
: tribute he paid to u boys while In
y training and in the trenches on the
! west front. The solos rendered by
Miss Rieshus and violin music by Miss

highly appreciated by the large audi

many that it was the best program
e ever rendered in the history of thu
y Lookout picnic"
