D. E. Stephens, president of the M(£ o community club, presided as sisted by Attorney C. L. Pepper of the Kiawanis club. Sheets containing words of popular songs were at each place at the tables, all present join ing in singing the songs with Mr. Pepper acting as song leader. C: F. ’Walker, president of the Northwestern School of Commerce of Portland, was the principal speaker of the evening. His address was un usual and masterful and weH received by all present. The nieeting was entirely a social affair, given for the purpose' of hav ing visitors and residents of Sherman county meet where business did not intrude. To state that the affair was a thorough success states very mildly the edneensus of opinion of the Sher man ^county people who attended, several of whom were from other parts of Sherman county than the immediate vicinity of Moro. Moro and Sherman county folks hope that the members of the Kia wanis club enjoyed the occasion as did the Sherman county people and that this will not be the last and only wch a gathering of neighbors in friendly intercourse.
