The Mimin Picnic.

All roads led to Miff1in last We'd
nesday, June %. The magnet that
| drew the crowds in that direction
was the third annual soldiers home
| coming picnic, the magnet was a
powerful one for it attracted up
wards of three thousand people
coming from every quarter of the
county and even beyond. The day
was most ideal for such an event and
the people of the Mifflin community
once again showed to their guests
the glad hand and the open heart as
they bestowed upon them kindnesses
and hospitalities in unstinted meas
ure and manner.
A program of music, singing,
speaking and sports caused the
hours to pass away all too rapidly.
Our own Mineral Point band won for
itself new laurels on this occasion by
their generous high-class music. A
male quartet from Dodgeville great
ly endeared themselves to the picnic
crowd by rendering several pleasing
numbers-especially Curtis Johns,
the soloist was greeted with more
than average favor. Attorney Cod
ell of Platteville, and Rev. A. H.
Schoenfeld of this city, supplied the
oratorical features. This was Rev.
Schoenfeld's third annual appear
ance at these occasions and judging
from the applause given him at this
time it would appear that his well
come there is not yet worn out. The
Miff1in picnic management have a
right to be justly proud of the clean,
gentlemanly way in which the whole
affair was handled and we know of
people who are already planning to
be on hand at next years picnic.

HOlstein Breeders Picnic a Big
Success.

"a day we'll spent is the way
everyone of the 800 or more spoke
after attending the annual picnic
held recently on the farm of VIM.
McGill, near Avoca. The day was
a warm one but the shade of the old
lawn trees, the ice cold lemonade
furnished by the business men, and
the ice cream kept the crowd COM
fortably cool.
At IL a. m. the cars came rolling
in carrying familiar faces from
Arena, Wyoming Valley, Clyde,
Dodgeville, Highland, town of Pull
aski, Muscoda, Jonesdale, Montfort,
but to Mineral Point goes the credit
of sending the largest delegation
coming the longest distance. There
were six full cars from south of Min
eral Point.
1t wasn't long before friends met
and gathered around for the noon
day dinner, and then came the Hol-
stein ice cream, Is gallons, and the
way those youngsters as well as the
older folks came back for more, it
was plainly noticeable that they were
well acquainted with pure Holstein
by-products.

of more than seventy-fve invited

soil, both being graduates of our
High school, and both having been
prominent in the school, church and
social life of their home town since
their early teens. Mrs. Shepard also

tistic and pleasing, were arranged by

brides assistants in the Normal
school library of Milwaukee.

cipients of numerous presents some
of them very costly. The newly |
