DRESSER DRAWER I -1 ZD The Ladies' Aid Bazaar is now a thing of the past, and the Ladle Alders are all drawing deep breaths and sighs of relief for they have worked hard. In spite of hard times the affair was quite successful. The men of the project distinguished themselves at this time by serving the supper which consisted of oys- ter stew, celery and crackers, dough j nuts and coffee. It was planned to ! have fresh oysters but for some rea son they did not arrive so canned j oysters were used Instead. These j were prepared by "Shorty" Smith and served by Messrs. Lee;, Crawford and Herelm. The fish pond was a moat decided success as always but only half enough fish were in the pond -pop corn, balls, candy, dolls, marbles and other articles were flBhed for. Mrs. Healey had charge of this. Mrs. Messenger was in Charge ' the plain and fancy work table where articles of all sorts were for sale, from aprons to a bib. Nearly every lady on the project contributed some article for this table. And by tho way we might say a word or twi here concerning some business firms Some of the women wrote to different houses for ro",r'i,itf-. for the bazaar. Sears, Roebuck it Co. replied with a curt note to the effect that they had too many customers to permit them to contribute to such affairs. Meir & Frank of Portland, replied with a very pleasant letter Wishing us success and sending a most beautiful hand painted china vase which sold for $3.50. Lipman Wolfo sent a pastel painting In a hand carved frame, and Jones Cash Store did not forget us but sent two oxs of Infant's vests. W" worn! if the last three mentioned firms could find a better way of advertising than this. We think It onu or the best and certainly one of the least expensive methods by which they could reach the out of town people that could be found. Evidently thoy do not have too many customers to contribute to a good cause. We wish to thank them for their interest shown in the bazaar given In this small town. Mrs. Crawford had charge of the handkerchief section and great was the array of "hankies" from a most lafboratp tatted one on down the line: pongee handkerchiefs, linen handkerchiefs, lawn ones, somi with pink edges, some with blue, some plain, some embroidery, and all kinds of 'em. She also sold beads and other articles which she had con tributed. We might say here that Mrs. Crawford no doubt spent more time making articles and gave nan things than any other woman on the irolect. it was her suggestion that we send to different states for hand kerchiefs. .A word about tint rnn'l.v conces sion: This was a sweet success. Doris Healey and Dorothy Hoard man had charge of this and their table was one of the most popular there. Fudge and taffy wore very much In evidence, and every last piece of candy which the ludiun on the project so generously made was sold. The last event was the program beginning at 8:00. This might well called a Flnnell-Lee-Kunner pro gram, they having given most of the selections. This was wholly a musical program and the auliin enjoyed solos, duets, qHarteftes the comet, clarinet and violin numbers elng especially good. Mr and Mrs. Lm -I'd Mr and Mrs. Finuell sang. Mr. Lee played tho clarinet, his bro ther the cornel, and the violin. Miss Kunner was the accompanist. It was originally planned to charge 10 cents for the evenings entertainment but finally decided to give it without charge. This closed the day and no mora bazaars for another year. HOARDMAN X)MIN(J UP RAPIDLY Hoardman is coming up quit rapidly. She now has a now industry which will be of great benefit to the fanners of the project in a short while. We refer to the cheese fac tory which is built on the Faler place. A nice little house has been built to :mld the machinery and it is well worth any person's time to ma kit a visit there and see just how the :haose is made. One .has no idea as !o the amount of work in making noose until he goes .thru a place of this sort. The milk is put in a large vat and heated, rennet put In mil stirred frequently with some pe uliar looking things callod cheese ;;nlvefi.
