Tomorrow Night

this paper the editor has been called
upon to slip the world the glad tidings
that our ladies hold all long distance,
fancy and catch-as-catch-can records
in the culinary art. We've laid it on
pretty thick at times, we'll admit, but
some Of the men folks have taken it
entirely too seriously, apparently
thinking that in giving the ladies a
little bit the best of it (?) we have
been intimating that the men didn't
know very much-about cooking, at
least.
Just to show the entire universe
that while Oakes citizens of the fe-
male persuasion may be the real goods
kitchenically speaking, they still have
a long way to go before they can cor
ner the market, several male men,
bers of the local Rebekah lodge have
taken it upon themselves to prove
they can furnish feed that will make
all the unfortunate guests back down
and own up that they have had enough
and to spare. ~
The scene of this semi-public ex-
hibition will be the Union Temple, and
the time tomorrow evening. The
guests will be all those members Of
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs who
have made their several wills and tes-
taments, paid their life insurance up
to and including the time set for the
festivities to begin, and made final
preparations for shuffling off this
mortal coil-should it be as we pre-
dict and the worst happen.
Earl Gallon, Glenn Dill, Byron Gibbs,
August Olson, George Cook, R. B. Nc
Chic, Herbert Knock ST., Oscar Rug
tiv, Martin Jacobs, Wrennie Williams
and Tom Sutmar announce that they
are going to boss this job, though the
names of those who will do the work
are shrouded in deepest mystery. It
is significant that this imposing list
includes the name of the undertaken.
While nothing has been given out
for publication regarding the method
to be used for securing the delectable
viands promised by these worthless,
they brag that they are going to serve
turkey, duck, chicken, moose, elephant
and mule. There are several moose
to be found among the alleged cooks,
at least one elephant, and-who ca
deny it?-several mules, though its91
not likely that any of these will bs
set upon the table except for garnish-
ment.
We don't want to discourage any,
body and get them to stay away from
this feed, but it wouldn't surprise US
a bit if our columns next week should
be filled with "Estray," and "Lost,
Strayed or Stolen" notices, placed by
members of our community who have
lost most Of their focks of poultry;
but we warn them that if they attend
this gathering they are liable to arrest
as accessories after the fact, what
ever that means.
1t is freely predicted about town,
however, that none of the participants
will have any room to rent. This af-
ternoon several Of the would-be chefs
are busily engaged in reinforcing the
chairs in the hall and from the number
Of lve-by-twelves which have been
carried up there it is suspected that
the tables are being upholstered.
Only one thing puzzles us, however,
and that is: How in the dickens did
they ever get Byron Gibbs to agree to
work AN the kitchen while the rest of
the folks are eating?
