LOCUST CLUB ANNUAL
BANQUET

The ladies of the Locust Club of
this city gave their fourteenth annual
banquet in honor of their husbands
Tuesday evening. A three-course din.
ner was served by the Ladies Aid so
ciety of the NJ. E. church in the din
ing room of the church basement to
which all present did ample justice
and which might well excite the envy
of the accidental absent ones The
big table in the brilliantly lighted
room was very attractively decorated
with spring flowers, the Club coIors,
green and gold, were effectively used
and were also carried out in the
dainty place cards Several young
girls of the church very efficiently as
sisted in the serving. After a most
pleasant hour at the banquet table
the members and guests, numbering
about twenty-five, went tC the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. R. Hille where
| two hours of social enjoyment were
passed at games and in general
| good sociability. This was one of
| the most enjoyable events which
are a regular feature in the actiy-
| tiles of the Locust Club and all pres
| ent voted it quite equal to a winter
/ trip to California where two absent
| but not forgotten members happen to
be at this time. Those present were:
| Mr. and Mrs A H Blair, DR. and
| Mrs Burnett, Mr.. aud Mrs. c. l.
Hardman, Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Hixson

TRACTOR SCHOOL A SUCCESS


The tractor school held at the Gar
den Theatre in this city Monday and
Tuesday of this week was a big sue
cess and the Representatives of the
Avery Manufacturing company who
conducted it are well pleased with the
results and feel that at least a large
number of farmer citizens of this
county are better informed regarding
how to handle their tractors and en-
gInes than they were before the
school took place D. B. Kraus, of the
Wa-Keeney Hardware Co, represen-
tative, deserves much credit for the
part he had in securing the school for
this city. While the attendance was
not what it should have been yet it
was much larger than it has been in
other places, about fifty people being
in the room all the time. Those who
have tractors and did not attend this
school have only themselves to blame
if they are caught during the coming
season on some trivial defect which
viii cost them the expenses of an ex-
pert but which they could have avoid
ed had they listened to the free in
structions given at this school.
