PATTERSON MEET
IS HUGE SUCCESS
Hall Filled 10 Capacity With A Very
Enthusiastic Gathering Of Fathers
Grandfathcrs and Sons

The Father-Sons banquet, held at
Hull's Hall Monday night, was a pro-
nounced success from every viewpoint.
The hall was filled to capacity with
about as enthusiastic a gathering as
the writer has experienced In many a
day.
The spirit of the occasion was man
ifest in every instance. and the jovial
good-fellowship was dominant thru
out, a feature not always found In SO
large an asemblage.
AS soon as fathers with their sons
had been placed, invocation was given
by Rev. Wiley and the throng, 100
strong, seated themselves to do justice
to the excellent spread that the good
ladies had prepared. And right here
we want to say, those ladies certainly
are pastma5torS or, pastmistresses,
il YOU will, in the culinary art.
When the inner-man had been sat
isfied. the taik-fest was inaugurated
by Rev. Paul Gardner, who was the
toastmaster for the evening. Grand
fathers, Fathers and Sons were all
paid glowing tribute by the various
speakers, namely: Dan Churchill, Lio-
mel Hines, Albert Manning and Hon.
+. II. Nshery Following these. q
pale quaftette composed of Ralph
Sedan, Grant Parrish. Vim. Schroeder
and w. S. Thomas, gave two selec-
tons in a most pleasing manner, and
Miss Virginia Bohen displayed excel
lent talent in a beautiful violin solo.
She was accompanied at the piano BY
Russell Danburg.
Rev. Gardner then introduced DR..
y. ID. Kohlstedt, who gave a most fit
ting and pleasing address. DR.. Kohl
stedt is a very fluent speaker and no
mistake was made in selecting him
for seldom is one permitted to hear
n so well gifted in the oratorical
art. He c%aptivated his hearers with
his well chosen words, the purport OF
which were very appropriate to the
occasion.
1t was. indeed, a most enjoyable
evening and inasmuch as the occa-
sion Is an annual one, 1t Is to be re-
GREETED that one must perforce await
the passing of another 365 days before
the next banquet of this nature.

MILLER WINS rs TO 0
FROM ONIDA HI TEAM

Miller and Onida met on the local
football field last Friday for the third
time in as many years and settled two
previous tie. games, by an overwhelm-
ing victory, for the locals by the score
of rs to 0.
The locals had the game In hand
at all times, only twice during tho
game did Onida show strength and
each time the man with the ball was
stopped with small gain.
Miller scored a touchdown in each
quarter gaining most of the ground
on line plunges by Scott, Collins and
Dennis. Mickie McCarl also gained
considerable ground for the locals.
On the defensive, McCullen did some
good work throwing Onida's fast nan
several times for a loss. Miller re-
sorted to a passing game in the second
and fourth quarters when Winsell,
who was kept on the side lines on &C
count of an injured foot, was put into
the game. Several nice passes were
completed for long gains.
Twice during the game Miller lost
chances to score. Once I'm the first
quarter Miller lost the ball on a fun
bic on the ten yard line and Onida
punted out of danger, and again in
the second quarter a long forward
pass was completed on Onida's four
yard line.
The visitors made first down bu,
three times during the game, twice on
line plunges and once on a forward
pass.
The Miller team showed more pep
and fight In the game than in most
Of those played this season. The same
spirit would no doubt have put some
of the lost games in the won column.
Miller plays at Faulkton next Fri
day and IL the weather is favorable
will play Clark on the local field

pRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. Thomas j .SimOns, Minister

The exhilaration OF the services OF
last Sunday has not yet subsidized. In
almost every one of our services the
attendance vas at high mark. The
singing Of the Adult choir was ex-
q~uisite, both morning and evening.
The reciting of Miss Gates at the eve
ming service was greatly enjoyed by
all, indeed. The Annual Praise Ser
vice of the Woman's Missionary So
ciety was a success in every way. The
attendance almost more than used up
our seating capacity. Mrs. George
Shannon McCune Of Huron, enter
tained and INSTRUCTED AN attentive
audience with the things Of the
orient that every one should know.
Having been a missionary in Korea
so many years of course her heart is
yet i'm the work of evangelizing the
people of the Hermit Kingdom.
Finally the offering was the largest
in the history of Annual Praise Ser
vices in the Miller church.
Next Sunday morning the theme
of the sermon will be, Making A
Thanksgiving Nation. The Adult
choir will more than not disappoint
you with its music, the music that the
people love.
The Sunday Schools that were at
a top notch last Sunday will meet
with the expectation that there will
be more company thar the Sunday
! before The Superintendent and the
other officers and the teachers are
working to make our schools the
very best possible for the whole per-
personnel of the church and congre-
cation and to the glory of God.
The Christian E%ndeavor meeting
will be at six-thirty. These meet
ings have a fine atmosphere of spirit
uality for the young folks and an OPP
%portunity for untrammeled freedom
of expression, which lifts up the
christian life.
AT the preaching hour in the eve
ming there will a stereoptican lecture
entitled, AT Work Among the Immi-
grants" This is another Of the alb
sclutely new lectures that were
shipped from New York to our North
Central district at Minneapolis just a
few weeks ago. The pictures shown
cover the wide range of our national
domain.
To the whole program Of the day
as indicated above we give you a
cordial invitation.
