ENTHUSIASM FOR
THURSDAY BANQUET
Menu Announced By Committee For
Father and Son Banquet At
Masonic Hall.

| IraIner, are we going W Gne Dan-
quet next Thursday EVENING"" "Why,
sure thing son, you and / cannot af-
ford to miss that grand affair.
must see about b4ying our tickets
tomorrow" This father had only
to be reminded. This boy already
has sort of happy fellowship un-
derstanding with his Dad, and does
not hesitate 10 approach him on the
little matter of spending So that will
give them a pleasant evening togeth-
err But there is another poor kid
who rather shys around his father,
and though earnestly desiring to go
to the Father and Son banquet at
the Masonic Hall on the evening of
the 13, doesn't dare mention it, be-
cause of course "his Dad" won't want
to take "him" to anything, yet all
the other fellows and their fathers
are going, and it will be a sort of
cleft out" feeling if he does not get
to attend.
Enthusiasm for the banquet is
spreading, as the date draws nearer.
A meeting of all of the committees
at the Presbyterian church on Mon
day evening perfected plans and
made new ones and grew more en-
thusiastic as they discussed the ap-
preaching event.
The women's committee were ready
with their report, and menu for
the banquet was submitted by Mrs.
A. E. Rison, chmn. of this part of
the work. The menu has a real
home cooking fascination sound, as
if it had been devised by knowing
mothers, who are aware Of the par
ticuar and favorite appetizers that
most appeal to young hopefuls. It
consists of:
Boiled ham on lettuce leaf, dressed
eggs, rolls, pineapple salad, pickles,
ice cream and cake, coffee and
cheese.
Gov. Tom C. Rye is to serve as
toast master, and two fathers prob
ably, and two sons will give short 3
minute speeches. The program is
being arranged so as to be most en-
joyable to the majority, and no one
person will be given the personal
pleasure of boring his hearers to the
extent of making the fortunate small
boys, who happen to horn in on this
gay function squirm and wish that
they had gone to the picture show
instead
Decorations for the banquet will
be under the pesronal supervision of
Mrs. H. c. McNeill, which is an as
surity that they will be beautiful and
artistic. The finance, entertainment
and other important committees are
giving their best efforts to make the
banquet an unequalled social sue
cess.
As soon as the tickets are put on
sale, it is expected that they will go
like hot cakes. Anyone familiar
with the buying end today, can COM
pare the menu with the price of a
ticket, and readily discern that the
81 per, will barely defray expenses.
1t is even anticipated that there will
be a deficit, for the finance commit
tee to supply from voluntary dona-
tions.
The tickets are cheap for the
pleasure and profit that the enter
tainment will return to the purchas-
er. The hall can accommodate only
800 persons and it will be a pity if
anyone who wants to attenk will be
too late in procuring seat reservation
at the banquet table. Do not let
that person be You!

ner Wilson, and T. H. Hogan and

quartet will assist on the musical
program.
