cial mention for organizing the speedy lunch service for the barn dance stampede.
 We thank the gallant floor com mittee. and appreciate their honest sweat in raking up the hay so the dance could proceed. Also those who sold tickets for the gay Pr. A. stampede, among whom were J. c Grant, Charles Moore, George Case, s. D. Grant. Carl Arola, Bob Bob Hurley, Mrs. Bowman, Maxine Early, Wheeler Drug Company, Mrs. Mclaughlin, Mrs. Hatton.
 And so we could continue In giving credit to the community, it must be said that the committee will never have more fun working for a community event. We sin cerely hope that a Pr. A. Barn Dance Stampede will be an annual event, with better luck for the stunt program and just as lively and interesting stunt contests.
 It was a real pleasure to see the whole town there. We give thanks to the poppy town Dads.
