BANQUET PROVES
HUGE SUCCESS

The Polk county "Get-Together"
banquet held Thursday evening at the
First Methodist church in Barlow
proved to be one of the most enjoy
able occasions in the history of Polk
County Methodism. About $50 were
present. Practically every section of
the county was represented by earn
est. substantial citizens united in
their common interest, the success of
the Christian Enducation program of
the Methodist Church.
The banquet room was attractively
decorated with a profusion of cut
flowers and the sumptuOus repast
was served by group of BartOw's
pretty young girls. c. f. Earnest, u
well-known merchant of Barlow, pre-
presided as master of ceremonies and
the occasion moved along with re-
markable sm0Othness and sustained
interest.
DR.. X. H. Alderman, president of
Southern College, was one Of the
principal speakers and Southern Col
ege was frequently referred to in the
course of the evening program, and
The sentiment was expressed that the
MethCdists of the county should ap-
preciate the fact that Polk county is
the home Of this important Methodist
educational institution and should
therefore feel keener interest than
ever before in the raising of funds for
the endowment of educational insti-
utions under the auspices of the
Methodist church, and should on May
2J the day set for the asking of con-
tributions, give to the extent of their
ability toward this cause.
