phoned to the bank but found that
the check had been cashed. Informa-

ANNUAL BANQUET
OF B. &P. CLUB

One of the prettiest banquets CIV
en- by the Baraboo Business and Pro
fessional Woman's club was that
which took place in the banquet
room of the Warren hotel on Monday
evening. The long tables were gay
with daffodils and from each place
foated balloon of bright color, Civ
ing the room a festive air.
There were some 80 ladies, mem
bers and their guests, in attendance
During the dinner, the high school
orchestra played and there was as
sembly singing.
Much merriment was furnished by
"a stunt in which lemons were passed
about among the diners, the one hold
ing the lemon when the alarm went
off being obliged to give a forfeit
Mrs q. w. Snyder and Miss Maude
Archer were the winners" in this
stunt and each forfeited a speech
receiving a prize in return.
Miss Leila T. Johnson acted as
toastmistress and her drollery and
apt witticisms added much to the
program of after dinner speeches
The address of welcome was given
by the president, Mrs. w. e. BARN
gel, and this was followed by toast
by the member who put the pep in
pepper" Miss Dala Yotti Miss Edna
Varnell was given the world to talk
on and chose the most importan'
part of it, the women and their re.
sp .psibilit:es.
The speaker of the evening was
Mrs w G. Bleyer of Madison. Mrs
Bleyer has recently returned from g
trip to Egypt and the Holy Land and
her personal experiences and view
points on the journey gave the club
members an evening of rare enjoy
ment,
Mrs Bleyer was somewhat disap-
pointed in the pretentiousness of the
Holy Land. From bible stories we are
prepared to see the birthplace of oul
Lord as a humble spot and not tx
find the place so enshrined that the
visitor quite loses the original pic

AUTHORIZED SERVICE,
STATION AT RARABOO

After carefully looking over and
considering the advantages of differ
ent places in this section of the state
The De Laval Separator Company
have decided to establish an Author
izzed De Laval Separator Station at
Baraboo. This will be decided
advantage to the De Laval separator
users of Sank and adjoining counties
as the station will be fully equipped to
handle practically anything in the re-
pair line except the unusual cases
that need to go to the fully equipped
factory.
One of the advantages of this sta
ton is that machines that are bought
into the station are overhauled and
adjusted without any charge what
soever to the user except for the.
new parts actually needed to replace
tho worn parts.
J. A. Martiny who has sold the De-
Laval separators here locally for over
80 years will have charge of this
station which will he located at his
place at the end Of Lynn avenue, west
of the city He states that he ex-
poets til equipment and parts in a
few days. With this added equipp-
ment and the experience Mr.. Martt1y
has had with the cream separaators
the past years he no doubt will be
able to give the best service that
can be had anywhere in the state and
many will want to avail themselves

NEW HIGH SCHOOL URGED

A program of desired street improve
ments for Manor Park and vicinity
which will connect with Takoma Park
on the north and Brightwood on the
south, were outlined by the Manor Park
Cltizens Association, at a meeting at
ozlo Sd street northwest, last night.
A resolution was adopted unanimously
TO request Engineer Commissioner Bell
TO meet with the committee on streets
ana lights. M. ]. Maher, chairman, to
discuss improvements. Additional side
walks, lights and sewers will be asked.
The association went on record as
opposed to any change in school hours,
such as had been proposed to the board
of education.
The organization adopted a resolu-
slon TO request the Zoning commission
10 prevent the erection in suburban
OF class A residential districts Of

Determination to obtain a doubIe
track for the street car line through
Manor Park was expressed by the as
sociation.
The need of a high school in the
northern part of the city was de-
clared to be urgent by E. II. Pullman
president of the association. He
pointed out that there is an Eastern
and Western High School, and sug-
gested that a new school should be
gia avenue, north of Kennedy street
to be known as the northern high

RED CROSS CHAPTER
PLANS new CITY DRIVE
Will Seek Quota of $75, 900 to Con-
tinue Activity-First Roll Call
Failure.

Plans for the second drive of the
District Chapter of the Red Cross to
raise it's quota of $4,000 for the
years activities will be made at a
meeting to be held at 2:3O pm, Jan
uary Z, at the local headquarters, 16
Jackson place.
Not only members of auxiliaries and
units of the District Red Cross are
invited to attend this meeting, but all
interested in Red Cross and who can
give some service during the Red
Cross campaign here.
This will complete the roll call for
the city, and it is hoped that enough
workers will volunteer, so every one
in the city may be personally invited
to answer the roll CALI and ensure
Red Cross safety for Washington
during the coming year.
The small sum of 81 is all that is
asked from each individual 1t is
felt that all can afford to give this
so the local Red Cross chapter may
be kept at full efficiency ready to
answer such emergency calls as that
which occurred during the Knicker-
booker disaster two years ago, when
the District chapter furnished not
only the doctors, nurses and other
disaster workers, but all the surgical
dressings used in caring for the
wounded.

Gasoline losses from uncondensed
