Farewell Supper For Boys
Who Will Go To Training Camp.
Second Annual Fair a Success.
Monday evening in Hessler's
tield was held a farewell banquet
and patriotic meeting in honor of
the boys who will respond to the
call of Uncle Sam. People from
several miles distance gathered
on the tield about six o'clock and
spread the luncu which they had
prepared <>n a large circular table,
made by spreading newspapers on
the native short grass. Ever} -
one was invited to partake^ and
kneeling on the green sward just-
ice was done to the excellent sup-
per. Inside the ring made by
the table was piled two or three
dozen cantaloupes to which the
picnicers were invited to help
themselves. Ice cream and lem-
onade, and good hot*coffee brew-
ed on the ground, was served,
and the hundred and fifty peop.e
present had a taste of the pleasure
of an outdoor luncheon.
After supper the table was
cleared and S. W. Hogan intro-
duced the speaker of the evening
Campbell Russel, m*mebr o" the
Corporation Commission. >ir.
Russel delivered an excellent ad-
dress. He pointed out plainly
why we are in the war and what
is the duty of every loyal Amer-
ican. He deplored the fact that
there are people who ask and de-
mand the protection of the gov-
ernment and yet question then
duty in standing by the govern-
ment in its hour of need. Mr.
Russel says that he has three sons
who are of military age, one of
whom he mentioned as being al-
ready 111 the service. It is there-
fore plain that he did not speak
from a selfish standpoint.
The meeting was adjourned at
about nine o'clock and everyone
present felt that they had spent a
profitable and enjoyable evening.
That the second annual fair was
i a success goes without saying
A large crowd was in attendance
j each day. All departments was
well represented. A good show-
ing of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs. The poultry depaitment
was excellent and the agricultural
display was-a show in its self.
The exhibits of domestic science
j and art brought out the interest
the ladies are taking in the fair.
Smith's Carnival Company fur-
nished a great deal of amusement
with their shows and their big
Ferris wheel On Thursday a
number of Kingfisher people vis-
ited our fair and on Friday after-
noon about thirtj-five automobile
loads of Guthrie people, accom-
panied by their band, paid us a
visit. James M Wilson, of the
A. & M. College a£ted as judge of
the horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
and Mr. Shiftletr, erranty agent,
judged the agricultural products.
Miss Thomas, of Edmond, award-
ed the prizes in the domestic
science and art department.
