The Banquet.
The banquet is always the social fea-
ture of these annual events and was held
at the Baptist church Friday at o'clock
with the ladies of that society catering.
Grace was offered by Rev. G. c. Sauer.
Covers were laid for 168 and all were
used. 1t was an inspiring scene and one
that the people at the homes would have
enjoyed with the older people on the pro-
gram if it had been their opportunity to
be present. There was an abundance Of
good food well served and large amount
of it rapidly disappeared. w. X. How
ard acted as toast master and easily
caught and held the attention of his audi
ence as he has been a life long teacher
and knows children. Between speeches
he also managed to give them some real
advice about staying on the farm. He
conducting his farm near the city. Each
speaker was greeted and bid adieu by
club cheers, led by Mark Shibles and
abbreviations of "Bill, Abe, Glenn" and
others were unique and also frank as
after one of later speakers the cheer
leader said "Wake up boys and girls, this
is the first man to deserve good cheer"
Principal Harry A. Foster of the b. H.
S. had fund of good stories and short
discourse on the Earthquakes" that ap-
peared before ST. Peter, but adroitly used
as an example for all lively boys and girls

boys and girls of club life OIL which he is

makes the wheels 20 round IN city affairs.
Once a farmer boy and always fond Of
that vocation Mayor Wescott drew his
illustrations from subjects familiar with
his young audience, such as the growth
of grass and grains, the unfolding of a
rose as typical of the development of the
boys and girls to men and women. He
cautioned them that the world would all
ways measure them by their efforts and
that later they would find that the school
of books and teachers would be followed
by the school of life. There were many
thoughts for the boys and girls to take
home.
Rev. William F. Skerrye met the Club
! members of Waldo County for the first
time and real friendship will be the out
come of his brief address, He said he
must first preach to them, but the sermon
would be short and he spoke for few
minutes on Bringing out the best in
you" He closed with his pet story the
| running and skating record of one
legged Frenchman, which brought down
the house.
Representative William X. keene was
reminiscent of the grammar school days
of the POSTMASTER, and his descriptions
were so vivid that he was interrupted
vused laughter of the grownups. At the
close Mr.. Keene gave them some genuine
ly good advice of being fair with the
markets and putting their names on the
goods they offered for sale.
Supt E. E. Roderick in the few min
utes left for the program spoke on the
fact that there is always room at the top
for the ambitious boys and girls and ex-

concrete example of the fact that the
