GREAT SUCCESS

Last night the Rotary Club very
delightfully."- entertained their ladies at
Ladies' Night at the Kibler HoteA,
where, following a sumptious dinner,
a very enjoyable program was car
ried out, with Mr.. E. e. Lusk as
master Of ceremonies.
Music of high order was dispensed
throughout the evening by the Scouts,
orchestra, which, upon it's every ap-
pearance brings forth much praise
and appreciation for the very high
class music produced. Two of Lake
lands sweetest singers Misses Eliza
beth Pritchett and Katherine Kauf-
mann delighted all with vocal num-
bers, and Miss Dorothy Risbeck, a
talented young dancer, contributed
much to the enjoyment of the onlook-
ers with a fine exhibition of fancy
dancing.
A very interesting talk by DR..
Kline. on civic matters, was timely
and to the point. Mr.. E. l.. Wick
man, a reader of ability, gave a lit
tie sketch. in which he cleverly
brought in the names of various Ro-
tarians and also gave a Jewish dia-
logue which was much enjoyed.
The big amusing feature of the ev-
ening occurred when Chief of Police
Allen arrived on the scene and ar
rested ten or twelve of the ladies
present on various charges-some TO-:
blocking traffic; failing to have prop
er lights on their cars while one
young lady was arrested for inter
ferring with a city official in the dis
charge of his duty--whether as
Mayor or not was not brought out
and these were hailed before a court
composed Of His Honor Judge Frank
Sanford, Col. w. H. OFT and Col. G..
H. Williams, attorneys; I. Dale viii.
liams. clerk, and w. w. Chase, bailiff.
The trial of each brought forth much
merriment and contributed much to
the enjoyable occasion.
After all had been bailed out OF
Jail Manager Hoffman, Of the Audi
forum, invited the Rotarians and
their ladies down to see Back tc
Gods Country" and though the hour
was then after II o'clock, the happy
crowd wended their way to this pop
ular playhouse, where the evenings
pleasures came to a very happy and
delightful close.

NOBLE WORK DONE
By MRS. MENDENHALL
FOR HER COUNTRY

In the death of Clara Summerlin
Mendenhall not only her family and
closce friends but the entire commun-
ity suffered great loss. During the
war she did notable work in France
and was contemplating using the ex.
perience gained there in the further
ance Of Y. M. G. A. work here. AT
the outbreak of the war, her husband,
Herbert D. Mendenhall was given a
oaptaincy in the engineers service
and Mrs. Mendenhall enlisted for
service in Y. M. G. A. work. Shortly
after he arrived in France, she Sc
cured her transportation privilege, be.
ing the last woman who was the
wife OF man in service permitted to
cross. She was at first stationed in
Paris where for many weeks
she was under fire from the
big Bertha the German long
range gun. While there, she assisted
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt in the Hotel
Richmond place of armth and of
American comforts for the, benefit of
Officers on leave from the front. La
ter she was in charge of a similar
hotel for enlisted men. After spend
ing about a year in this work she
was granted short leave for recup-
Grafton, which she spent on the Re-
viera in company with her husband
and brother-in-law, Lieutenant Fred
Mendenhall, the latter having just
been decorated for bravery under fire.
This was the last occasion upon
which the three were together. Her
later DIRK was in Bordeaux, where
she directed the work of entertain
ments for soldiers devising means of
diversion, securing entertainments,
etc. Her keen mind and ready SYM
pathy made her especially we'll fitted
for that work. Her determination
and perseverance were we'll known
among her friends; no task once un-
dertaken was ever abandoned till
successfully accomplished. One who
knew her well once said of her, IF
she had the physical endurance she
could subdue Russia
After two years overseas she re-
turned to Florida last September
Not only was she devoted wife, but
for many years size filled the place OF
mother to her two younger sisters,
Mrs. Ceferino Balbine and Mrs.
Olive Whitfield who were left mother
less in early childhood.
The sorrow caused by her passing
is softenedo by fragrant memories OF
unselfsh devotion and the beautiful
example of life lived for others.
A FRIEND.

Somebody Else

Who's Somebody Else, should
like to know,
Does he live at the North or the

Or is it a lady fair to see,
Whose name is in every mouth?
For Meg says, Somebody Else will
sing"
"Or Somebody Else can play
And Jack says, "Please let Some
body Else
Do some Of the errands today"
If there's any hard or unpleasant
task,
Or difficult thing to do,
'Tis always offered to Somebody
Now isn't this very true?
But if some fruit or a pleasant trip
Is offered to Dick or Jess,
We hear not a word or Somebody
Else;
Whyg I will leave you to guess.
The words of cheer for stranger
| lad,
This Somebody Else will speak,
And the poor and helpless who
need a friend
Good Somebody Else must seek.
The cup Of cold water in Jesus
name,
| O. Somebody Else will proffer;
And words of love for a broker
heart,
Brave Somebody Else will offer.
There are battles in life we. only
can fight,
And victories too, to win;
And Somebody Else cannot tak'
our place -,
When we shall have "entered H..
Rut if Somebody Else has done Ill
work,
While we for ease have striven,
twill. only be fair if the blessed
reward
To Somebody Else is given.

Farmers Would Sen Direct.

Chicago, May ia, farmers. CO.
operative movement, which would
abolish the middleman and broker,
was considered here today by a COM
mittee Of farmers appointed by .
group of farm organizations to study
means to lower the living costs.
The plan, which is similar to the
one used last year to sell wool, would
provide for the establishment Of
warehouses and stations in the prin-
cipal cities of the middle West.
Instead of shipping livestock, pro-
duce and grain to market to sell to a
local broker. the farmer would bring
his goods to market, where his own
agent, who would represent other
farmers as well, .woud take over his
shipment and dispose of it direct to
the retailers 1t is estimated that
this. would give the farmer larger
profit and. mean cheaper goods to the
consumer.
Grain brokers and produce COM
mission men are opposed to the plan,
as i would put many of them out of
business.
The. committee which took up the
plan consisted of G. w. Hunt, Iowa;
Lewis Taylor, Indiana; R. Snyder,
Kansas c. H. Gray, Missouri; C. A.
Bingham, Michigan. and Howard
Leonard, Illinois.
