WOMAN'S CLUB LUNCHEON
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

One hundred ladies, principally
members of the Delta Woman's club,
enjoyed the Thanksgiving luncheon at
the Community rooms Saturday.
The repast was the last word in
culinary perfection and nothing
was left undone to make the affair a
success.
The meeting opened with the sing
ing of America, after which Mrs.
F. w. Pimlott invoked the divine
blessing.
Excellent music was furnished by
the High school orchestra, directed by
Miss Mamie Thomas.
Besides the members there were
several guests, including Mrs. F. NJ.
Hinnan of Austin; Mrs. w. l.. Miller
of Eckert; Mrs. Lothian of Sioux
City, Iowa, and Mrs. w. A. Huff of
| this city.
At the business session it was un-
animously voted to observe Golden
Rule Day." Sunday, December 2, in
compliance with request from Presi.
dent Coolidge, through the National
Federation of Woman's clubs.
The most important business of
the meeting was a motion which un-
lanimously passed, voting to present
an Indoor Circus" on January 18th.
The club agreed to get behind and
make it a success in every way
During the program Mrs. A. ]. OBJ
ert presided and proved a very cap
able toastmaster.
Miss Clara Ferguson responded to
a toast on "Feasting" in her usual
clever style, and was heartily encored.
Mrs. o. B. Whipple followed with a
toast on Playing" but also dilated to
the subject of Working" and drew
the logical conclusion that "All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy.'
Her address was listened to with un.
divided attention.
The club then sang Smiles" and
Peggy O'Neil," after which Mrs.
Harry A. Smith responded to the toast
Thanking" and gave out some very
helpful suggestions to the members
present.
In closing Mrs. Obert rendered a
fine tribute to the two ladies who had
prepared the banquet, and to the
eight young ladies who served it so
well. They were the Misses Beth
Bast, Beth Johnson, Viola Kyffin,
Florence Fairbanks. Helen Hillman,
Dorothy Moeller. Margery Elliott and
Janet Hall
The next meeting will be a Christ
mas Party on December 18th, under
direction of Mesdames H. E. Perkins,
A. F.. Erich and R. C. Egnew.

Iowa Chases The Blues

Oratorical pessimists have been
talking blue streak. That is their
best stock in trade. They capitalize
the blue feeling that they create, for
political purposes. But the light is
breaking on Iowa. The crops are good.
Prices are picking up. Frost has been
delayed. Iowa has been feeding more
beef cattle than any other state, and
has the fodder for them Spring pigs
are fat and shining. Bank deposits in
Iowa are growing. Industries are in
full swing, Unemployment has reach
ed low ebb. Merchants report good
fall business. Thanksgiving day is ap-
preaching and the people of Iowa can
not help but see that things in general
are much brighter than they were and
will be still brighter in another month.

One Democrat to Another

In a recent address in Chicago,
former Senator Pomerene paid his re-
spects to Director General McAdoo. of
government railroad operation fame.
He declared that William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, as director general, threw dust
in our eyes to advance his own cause
that of aspiring TO the Presidency
The only thing he ever did worth
while was to come before the Senate
committee on interstate commerce, of
which l was member, and suggest
that we recommend the railroads re-
main under government control for
five more years. When the
war ended and the railroads faced a
deficit of s45O, ,OOO, 900 he neglected to
increase freight rates because 1t was
too unpopular. Instead, he returned
the railroads to private control to let
them work out the burden

enough left to the railroads to justify

evening, a social session was held
complimentary to Joseph Rollins. one
of the fellow members since the in

Rollins coal mine, which was named
for him
Mr.. Rollins has spent several years
in California and has spent the last
two weeks renewing Acquaintance
with friends before leaving for Canon

very much pleased with the lodge

pressed his appreciation. He stated
that he had lost all his kin and was
going to the Odd Fellows Home in or.
der to have companionship which he
needs most of all.
Lunch formed an important part OF

Enforcement Of the Laws.

be, yet these same Dragging loyalists

Kenosha County Fair that has ever
been held. The cattle, sheep, and hog
displays will equal if not exceed those
of other years. The largest display
of chickens of all varieties will be on
hand. The boys and girls club work
is especially we'll represented and
should receive the patronage and ap-
prevail of every grown-up on the
grounds. The inspiration of the boys
and girls today will determine the
quality of the future farmers OF ke-
nosha county. The display of automo-
biles and machinery of all kinds Will
be larger and better than ever. The
impetus given by the board Of direct
ors in making the women's depart
ment more efficient and effective will
result in larger contributions there.
No farmer in Kenosha county can at
ford to miss the tubercular display of
meats, hearts, livers, and other or
gans affected by this dread disease,
which will be shown by the University
of Wisconsin. TheA merry go-round
and fair novelties are on the ground
ready to give the kiddies the best and
noisiest time ever. The usual good
eats will be served by the ladies Of
western Kenosha county. So lay aside
all unnecessary work and come and
spend three days living among your
fellow men, talking over your common
problems in the different lines, and
learning from those who are here be-
cause they know.
