The reception for high school stu dents given by the City Union of the young people's societies of the churches last Friday night was well ettended, and judging by the high spirits of those present every one en Joyed himself. About two hundred, counting the members of the City I'd ion and the high school students, were present. The evening's entertainment was - legun by a short program, which consisted of a piano solo by Louise Cillette, who disappointed all by re fusing to respond to the encore; a reading by Alice Decroft, who cer tainly does Phoenix justice; a solo ly Helen Cunningham, a promising young vocallBt of the Ashland high school; an original story by Lelth y.bbott, the author of the automobile stories which held the students spell bound last year; an a vocal solo by Kiss Creekpaum, the popular West Bide teacher. After this program the merry makers were separated into groups of ten according to numbers previ ously distributed and a lint of ques tions given to each one. These ques tions were to be answered by the r.ames of streets of Ashland. For iistance, "The street an automobile should avoid," the answer of which Yas Skldmore. When everyone had e satisfactory list according to his own estimation, the list of answers "was read by Everett Smith, the chair man, and much merriment was de rived from the audible expressions cf approval or disapproval of the an swers. The next thing on the program was an election of city officers. The young folks were divided Into four wards, each of which was to notni r.ate a candidate for mayor, recorder, treasurer, a male and a female fire cnlef, a food Inspector, a chief of po lice and an inspector of weights and measures. After a very heated nom ination the candidates were brought forward and the election took place. The first on the ballot were the can didates for mayor. The conditions of their election were that they walk as close to the edge of the platform as possible without failing off. Ray mond Radger carried. the election by ra huge majority, being able to cover the necessary ground In about two steps. The next victims were the candidates for recorder, who were compelled to say the alphabet back wards, the one finishing first becom ing recorder. Granville Dalzelle car ried this easily. The would-be treas urers were to say the multiplication table of twos. Mrs. Percy Stratton was victor of this event. The trouble with the election of the male fire chief was that It was the wrong kind of hose. The candidates were to put on a pair each of cheesecloth stock ings which came up to the waist without getting out of their chairs, fiet up, sit down, take them off, fold them up, and deliver them to the Judges, the one doing this first being elected. Fire Ch ef Lelth Abbott carried this easily because of the di minutive size of his pedal extremi ties. The .female fire chief was to empty a glass of water through a rubber tube three feet long in less time than her contestants. Helen Cunningham was winner here. The food inspector was to test the qual ity of a half pumpkin pie In the short est possible time. Bob Keller was easily the winner, which shows that the old maxim, "Practice makes per fect," still holds true. The chief of police who was victorious was the one who first rounded up an occu pant for the city jail. Ruth Osmond brought In her man before the other candidates had started. The Inspect or of weights and measures was to guess the size of shoe, the weight and the number of hairpins used by another contestant. Margaret Hodg son took this election, which showed she had judgment as well as an eagle eye. After the election the announce ment was made that refreshments would be served immediately in the next room, and the opportunity was taken to announce the meeting of the Civic Union on Sunday at the Baptist church. The tables were filled at once and much ice cream I and cake were consumed. The re freshments did not last long, for everyone was hungry, and the young people soon gathered around the piano for a farewell sing. All the latest music and some not so late was finally exhausted and the party broke up answering "Yeaho" when ever anyone asked whether they were happy. Wedding Hell. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Rasor on the evening of November 10 was celebrated a quiet, happy home wedding. The bride was Miss Edith Rasor of this city and the groom was Mr. William Yeager of reeksklll, forty miles north of New York city. After the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Arthur R.
