slow sellers as dealers had a fairly
liberal supply on hand. Vealers were
soc to $1.0O lower, bulk $3.50 to
$14.OO.
Lights and butcher hogs declined 80
to 4Oc, best sorted lights $112O, bulk

numbers which were well received.
The band members were Hans Mel
sen and Werner johnson on cOrnet;
Leonard Frahs, alto; Hans Mosbak,
slide trombone; Albert SOrensen, pic
colo; and Martin Andersen, bass drum.
A little sketch on high pressure
craftsmanship was we'll acted by v. S.
Petersen as the salesman; Kaj ST.
monsgaard. farmers son from Texas
who came to purchase tractor; and
Thorvald Sorensen, stenographer in
the office. The salesman not real
izing that the farmers son was all
set to buy the tractor, gave out a
barrage of good points about the ma
chine, filled the pockets of the Texan
with literature, and in other words
kept on shooting so much bunk that
he nearly lost the sale. But finally
at the point of gun, the Texan made
the salesman stop his constant flow
accept a down payment and promise
to ship the tractor. Folks enjoyed the
sketch and gave hearty applause.
Next on the program were two
songs by aIquartette consisting of Carl
Dixen, Leonard Frahs, Kaj Simons-
gard, Hans Nielsen, Albert Sorensen,
Rev. o. H. Dyreborg, and Thorkild
Ravnholdt. They were given good ap-
plause as was also V. S. Petersen

ny Boy" and his little three year old
boy climbed onto his lap.

splitting affair. Hans Petersen and
Carl Dixen made up the COW with
head, tail, four legs, and all COM
plete. Alexander Paulsen presented
the animal and told of its good points,
the broad head showing wisdom,
stout neck, long body, tail, etc. It's
name was Josephine, and it was out of
high producing stock. To demon
strate its wisdom Josephine was asked
to answer several questions by its
master for instance how many times
certain young fellows call certain
numbers on the telephone each day,
and other like questions. These were
answered by stamping of the foot.

the first one was directed by Louis
Olsen and much credit is due him
for all the fun the audience enjoyed.
V. Justesen did well in his makeup
of the various characters. He had
the scheming, treacherous look on the
wise woman.
All the boys taking part in the eve
ning's program sang song, after
which the double quartette closed
with an evening song.
Refreshments were then enjoyed by
most of the 300 to 400 people who at
