ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY

The pretty country home of Mr..
and Mrs. Claude Cox was the scene
of a delightful social function Mon
day evening, when about twenty-five
of the younger set of Missouri Val
ley responded to clever invitations
sent out by Miss Ruth Roden. Five
autos carried the merry, hilarious
company to their destination.
The decorations of the living room
were suggestive of Autumnal tints,
and farm products, black cats, jack
o lanterns and other emblems of
Halloween, peeped from every nook
and corner.
The guests soon made themselves

A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
Friday, over half hundred bust
ness men of this city, Council Bluffs
and Omaha, accepted the invitation
of Mr.. Utman and the w. A. S., Oil
Co., to visit their lands south and
west of Modale.
The several auto loads reached their
destination shortly after noon and
they soon sat down to an elegant two
course fish dinner, served in the
woods.
In short talk before dinner was
served, j. S. Dewell outlined the pur-
pose of the meeting as a desire on
the part of Mr.. Utman to show his
guests the fertility of the several
thousand acres of land he ownes and
what could be done with it if the
Missouri river can be stopped from
backing up each spring and flooding
the land. Mr.. Utman has constructed
dixie about two miles in length al
his own expense and he is now trying
to induce the county to form a drain.

If the county does this it will reclaim
5000 to 5000 acres of valuable land
Mr.. Dewell also stated that everything
served on the dinner table, including
the sugar but not the coffee, was
raised on this land.
After everyone had more than sat.
