Park ViewClu
Folk Hold Meet
Ry HAROLD BALDWIN

BY HAHOLD BALDWIN,
The bi-monthly gathering of the
Parkview club, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Max Hagar, Friday, Oct
ober 2, was as enthusiastic as it
was well attended.
Discussions were interesting and
animated.
This club considered the prob
lem of rural fire hazard, and de-
cided such hazard was higher than
necessary.
And, lest some unhappy farmer
should be on hand only to shut
the stable door when the horse
has gone, the members brought
debate to bear on the possible re-
newal of the chicken thieving cpl
demic this fall.
There may be no such petty
crime. but the .thief-like lightning
strikes unexpectedly. To be
prepared for the predatory gentle
men, and that tyrant Fire" was
the sought for end.
Other rural communities are re-
specially asked for suggestions
on mutual @rotection in any like
disasters.
The serious business of the eve
ming eventually gave place to the
entertaining.
The programme opened with the
mass singing of o Sole Milo. Mrs.
Hagar followed this item with a
reading, why Not Be Happy To-
day An amusing forecast OF
what the future farm animals
would be like, owing to the daily
necessity for swift lodging in a
mechanical age, was given by
Mrs. .. HAITI. 1t was. however, gen
orally conceded that the COW would
90 on in the same old way forev-
| er.
Miss Mildred Hagar was pleas
ing with her piano selection, "A
Fairy Waltz"
Clara of that ilk spoke on the
thorny paths over which the great
hay travelled to their heights. She
illustrated by the trials of Edison's
boyhood.
At such gatherings-let the jazz
fiends rave as they will-there is
always a response to good music.
When Mr.. and Mrs. l.. G. Stanley
gave as their piano and violin Sc
lection the overture from Wall
aces Mariana there was an en-
| thusiastic encore. They obliged
with the Intermezzo from Caval-
Zero Rusticana.
Melvin Schoephoerster was not
long in getting answers to his
automobile quiz; another popular
number.
The leaders of the successful
rivals of Parkview at the county
| fair then addressed the assemblage
on the advantage of the grange.
The speaker had made this trip in
spite of weather conditions, but
his visit was not without results.
A vote of thanks to Mr.. S. ..
Teeple was heartily given.
A reading by Mr.. Hagar termin-
ated the programme.
Following a social hour of this
and that, plus delicious ice cream,
the meeting broke up.
The feeling of happy evening,
usefully spent, went with the
Parkviewites to their homes.

At this time the infantry was on

Suddenly cry arouse on the square
near the merry-go-round.
A woman, probably drunk, attempts

round while it began to move. The
owner pushed her aside. She slipped,
fell and raised a cry. Someone near
by began to fight with the owner. An
other raised the cry: "She is killed."
Still another informed those in back
of him who tried to find out what had
happened, that "a Jew killed christ
ian woman"
The rumor spread like wild fire. The
local fight near the merry-go-round
grew into general riot.
xiii the si"-cried a stout red
faced fellow jumping up on a stand
where lemonade was sold. He was
later recognized as a local gendarme.
The cry was picked up by the
drunken crowd: xiii the JewsI Kill

the rafting of the furniture and goods
that had been thrown out thru the
broken doors and windows, the howl
of the drunken robbers, all blended
into terrific roar that spread terror
all over the city.
The terrible word ''pogrom" struck
