FINE PROGRAM OF
THE TOURIST CLUB
Group One Entertained Yesterday
Afternoon with One of the Best
Presented Since Organization.

Group One of the Tourist club en-
tertained yesterday afternoon with
one OF the best programs ever present
ed since the organization meeting, and
the chairman. Rev. j. l.. Ryan, and
those who assisted him were much
on the success OF the
affair. not only because of the inter-
esting and beautiful readings and
musical selections, but for the SPLEEN
did management displayed.
At the last meeting OF the Tourist
club, the members were divided into
groups, each group to have charge of
a program, and there is much friendly
rivalry as to which one will present
the most successful entertainment.
/. Group One is composed of members
from Illinois, District of Columbia,
Alabanl and Minnesota. and much of
the talent was drawn from these
states.
The program of yesterday afternoon
was replete with musical numbers and
frightened by several readings and
talks, one of which was a welcome to
the tourists by Montrose Edrehi. one
of the younger members of the bar
WHO NldSOI IL. Gtii-
der, who had intended to be present,
but owing to very bad cold was I'M
able to do so.
Mr.. Edrehi captured his audience
from the first, and his talk carried
with it not only warm welcome to
the city, but expressed that friendli-
ness and hospitality that can come
only from a community which looks
upon the tourist as guest rather than
only a possible asset.
Following the business session and
roll cali, the audience joined in sing
ing the state song Of Illinois, with Mrs.
johnson OF Illinois at the piano. Sew
eral piano and violin selections added
to the beauty Of the program, and one
musical number which was particu-
larly pleasing to the audience was a
rendition Of the 'foliagophone." by the
Rev. Robert.sL. Davis of Pensacola.
The music of the 'foliagophone' had
much the sound of the flute. though
moro fairy-like IN its tone, and after
Inystifying his audience for some time
as to the source of the music, Mr..
Davis told them that the music was
made by him with the simple aid 70 a
eaf plucked from a Florida orange
cree-from which the name, FOLIAGE
phone" was derived.
Mr. Davis also gave two rotations
which were greatly enjoyed, "The
Water Melon" and Pap and Mother
and Me-" Another recitation which
added much to the pleasure of the aft
ernoon was that OF Mr.. Strother Of the
District of Columbia.
Group Two spent a part of yesterday
afternoon planning their program and
last night several hours were spent in
practice of songs and in making plans
for next week. Group Two comprises
Indiana, Montana and Colorado.
Group Three is composed of WIscon-
sin, Louisville. Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Nevada and England.
Group Four. Michigan. Pennsylvania.
New York, Iowa, Tennessee and vir-I
ginia.
Group Five, Ohio, Missouri, West
Virginia, South Dakota, Kentucky,
Mississippi and Canada.
From the plans which are being
made and tho rivalry which has all
ready been aroused, it is very evident
that there are to be some programs
well worth while, and that those who
fail to attend the meetings of theI
Tourist club will find that they have
missed entertainments that really en-
terrain.
