Odd Fellows and Rebekah Picnic

The combined picnic of the Re-
bekahs and Odd Fellows was held at
Riverview Beach, P~ennsville, on We'd
nesday. Many went down on the
special car at II o'clock. Others came
at various times during the day by
trolley, jitney or their private cars.
At least 200 were in attendance. Upon
arrival many enjoyed the bathing. In
fact the river was so fascinating that
when Mrs. Walter Edgar, chairman of
sports, called the time to begin, 3
o'clock, none came. She, blowing her
whistle, reminding us of a hen with
her ducklings sporting in the water.
An extra hour was given. The fat
and thin women's ace was a hummer,
won by Mrs. Sophia Lyons, who is
surely a Splinter.
The pie eating contest between three
girls and five boys was won by Mar
garet Ericco; the sack race by William
Watkins; the girls rae by Gladys
Miller.
The little Esaus, Jacobs, Miriams,
Ruths and Esthers had free rides and
free eats. The patriarchial Abra-
hams, who had been ensnared by the
beautiful Rebekahs, arrived in the
evening, and the whole tribe had one
of the most delightful times in their
lives, not the least was the feast at
supper.
Mrs. David P. Featherer was the
chief chairman of the picnic. Others
who served on the committee were
Mrs. Anna Clair, Mrs. Viola Walls,
Mrs. Ethel Simmonds, Mrs. Issman,
Messrs. H. L. Blohm, Mr.. Issman and
D. P. Featherer.

Court Proceedings

Nothing was done in Court on Fri
day concerning the application of lisa
dore Luterman and Thomas Taylor, of
Penns Grove, for their release as
bondsmen in the case of Charles
Fisher, Cooper Sparks and Charles
Stiles. The Court suggested that if
the defendants desire him to pass upon
the application that they appear in
Court and present a motion to dismiss
the bail, stating the grounds. The
Court said there were two points he
would have to pass upon in this mat
ter. First, the right to delegate to the
Sheriff the power to take the bail with
out a declaration in open court or upon
written notice, and secondly, whether
or not the defendants knowing that
the Sheriff had no right, could profit
by their W mistake.

Hunting Possums Out of Season

Nathan Mattson and Harvey
Strauehn, who live about four miles
from Penns Grove, on the Auburn
road, noticed an automobile party
stopping mean their melon and canta-
loupe patches. Mr.. Straughn's dog was
on guard and he arrived with his old
trusty gun for game.
One Penns Grove man climbed a
tree. When asked what the party
was after they replied, Hunting pos
sums" There was no 'possum up the
tree, but the man came down in a
heap. One thought he was playing
'possum, but others thought the party
had too much home brew, because
their melons and lopes do not have
such effect on the eaters.
'Possum time is not until the frost
is on the pumpkin, the corn in the shock,
after melons are gone. As farmers
have suffered much from marauders,
most have old watch dogs and loaded
shot guns awaiting for the early reed
birds.

now as 100000 would have done a
year ago. There is no doubt in my
mind that we have money enough to
build a large auditorium. seating
5000 t.. 10000 persons.
II heartily disapprove the site that

could not have been made. Indeed,
IL change to a better site means de-
lay, 1 am willing for the delay in or
der that this big meeting house of the
people be where they can hear what's
going on in it.
IT read with interest what J. d.
Moore said about the noise of the
Frisco yards. He lived in that vi
cinity many years and knows what he
is talking about"

'T am heartily in favor of an au-
ditorium," says Leo X. Steiner
81 am against it II it's to be built
on the present site and according TO
the present plans. l think any au-
ditorium built to meet the needs OF

For 5000 Capacity
II favor an auditorium and voted
for the bonds" says Richard Fries.
81 am not overenthusiastic when

my way of thinking, meet the needs.

I'm no event should an auditorium

THE auditorium should not seat

more than that. 1t should be large
enough for automobile shows and the
like. We will have two auditoriums
seating $500 each in the Masonic

We want one big place for big affairs

the masses by reason OF the larger
capacity.

HARE AND HOUNDS
ON WHEELS TODAY
Big Bicycle Event With Many
Entrants Starts at Cap
itoI Park

AT Capitol park this afternoon,
Fred st. Onge as the hare" will get
the word to go" at exactly 2 o'clock
and minutes later great pack of
riders. representing the hounds"
will be in hot pursuit of this evasive
hare on a wheel. Where they are go-
ing no one knows, but they will be
on their way for at least tour miles,
unless the confetti gives out before
that distance is reached by st. Onge.
That he is sure to be caught is a
foregone conclusion. Mounted on the
old style high bicycle he cannot ex-
pect to go too far without being cap
tured as, his wheel is not geared,
while the safety" bicycle of today
covers nearly twice, the ground, con-
sequently the hare will be more or
less handicapped, and besides he may
take header or two, same as the
boys used to do years ago.
1t is going to be contest, how
ever, and the best riders will win, and
for their trouble will receive some
useful bicycle accessories as trophies.
Not only will those who capture the
hare receive them, but those to re-
turn to the starting point in one-two-
prizes.
The return trip will be in the form
of a road race, with st. Onge~setting
the pace. and one mile from Capitol
park he will give them all the word
to go" The start and finish of the
event will be Capitol park, and no
doubt will be witnessed by big
crowd. Considerable interest is at
tached to the event, as it is the first
of it's kind ever held here.
Various schools will be represented
at the start and finish. and also in
the contest. st. Onge yesterday Wis
tied the West End school and caused
sensation with a demonstration on
his high wheel, besides he lectured
to the boys and girls on road deport-
ment while riding bicycles in crowded
streets. Today's event is open to all

Cheap Jokes Influential
Il do not understand how thought
full citizens can permit their convic-
tons to be shaped by cheap jokes,
On some stages it is often the case,
as everybody can testify, that 10 or
20 jokes against prohibition will be
pulled off in the course of one short
