T he dinner, as

found it was Indeed a hard lesson but
one th a t m any people pay dearly for.
H. L. St. C lair read an original
poem w hich he had w ritten for the
occasion, en titled , “ F am iliar Names
of O ur Tow n.’’ Since m any of the
nam es were represen ted in the a u d i­

everyone enjoyed it to the fullest ex­

T he poem appears

A. D. Cridge, th e Jo u rn a l rep o rter,
gave a sh o rt ta lk on th e effective
ballot and answ ered a nu m b er of

Miss Mary Cogswell gave a ch a rm ­

th e Big Lie.” Billy Brad suffered
from an over grow n im agination as
m any sm all boys do, and, as m any
such im aginations do, it brou g h t
tro u b le and tears to Billy Brad.
W alter R am ser was the first called
upon to tell of his favorite hobby
w hich he said he believed was the

W. B. P arsons told of th e cure of

Mrs. H. L. St. C lair is hoping the

Mrs. K itzm iller told of early days
