It was indeed unfortunate and A BIG DAY. 3 Burdick Entertains Success From to Finish. A Song of Thanksgiving. (CHAS VERNON) O' Fate, thy praise we'll ever grateful to a man We knew we need not ask in vain. To beat ol'e Delavan.

The day was fine, and good old So? Shown only as He can, We thank Thee Fate as ne'er before We beat ol'e Delavan. The team was strong, we give them that But My! how they did fan And say, let's whisper in your ear A Pleasant Evening. September 12th at the home of Carlson there gathered in answer to invitation sent out by Mrs. Carlson, about fifty guests, the occasion being a party given in honor of Miss Esther Burkman of Des Moines, Iowa. A delightful evening was spent which passed away all to soon for those present, and before it seemed possible the night had progressed so far that it made it positive that the guests would haveto take their leave.

So every one took a reluctant leave of the hostess and the guest of honor with just about enough time to get home and get a little sleep before the day began. Miss Burkman has spent several vacations here and has made many friends and says she expects to spend many more in this same unavoidable this time, but next year we will have things arranged so that everyone can see what is goiqg on. Then came the steer riding which was comparatively tame, as the steer refused to do much fast work, he was ridden by Mr. Dave Pearson. But the bucking horses made up for it, especially a little black outlaw which was ridden.

by Mr. Viv Osmar, and the black certainly gave him all that was coming to him. It was an excellent exhibition and none but a first class rider would have stuck to him, but that is just what he had tackled and before long Mr. Osmar had him conquered. The next horse was ridden by Dave Pearson and furnished some exciting fun for few moments, and caused the only accident of the day and that was not serious.

The horse bucked into the "crowd and caused a team to back into the buggy of Ralph Edwards taking off one of the wheels. Then came turning a stake at fifty yards, man against horse. It was won by C. Stewart who beat the horse by several yards, The evening program was opened by a band concert on the street after which the crowd assembled in the hall (Continued on Pagre 4) We beat ol'e Delavan. What! one to nothing, did you say My! My! that beats the band And say, did you get that triple play We've beat Delavan.

Now Reader dear, pray don't get sore Because we feel so grand We downed the best team in the land. We beat ol'e Delavan, Imperal Concert Company. The Imperial Concert Co. gave a very pleasing program Sept. 1.9th.

The company consisted of Mrs. Ray Swortwood, contralto, Edith Krause. reader and Miss Mae Krause, pianist, the program consisted of vocal numbers, readings and piano solos. Although the pragram was all that could be expected it was poorly attended. Oil Sale igOoat and Suit Box Supper and Sept.

18th the Leuther League Orchestra gave box supper and concert. Miss Bertha Peterson, cornetist. of the orchestra, gave a very pleasing: solo. They were assisted in the program by Mr. Art Mace, who gave a-very pleasing trombone solo, C.

N. Tufts and Miss Ada Bazil contributed two numbers, while Mr. C. N. Tufts sang, "'If I were as only, he can sing it.

After the boxes were sold it was decided to devote the rest, of the evening to a cake walk, this-received by loud applause from the-young folks, who would doubtless have been walking vet had the cakes Ifeld out. The old time rivalery in bidding on boxes was absent, consequently some boxes sold as low as-40 cents, from the fact that the orchestra went to a good deal of expense-in procuring outside talent to assist-in giving a first class program, FRETS they deserved much better patronage than they received. On Oct. 8th, Burdick made ber initial bow to the general public as an entertainer, and in her first attempt at putting on a show scored a complete success. We are still wondering where so many people came from, but it is estimated that close on 12000 people visited Burdick on that day.

Early in the morning things began to move. The day was started with a concert by the "Burdick Brass Band' and right oere we want to say that the band showed its public spirited feeling by donating its services for the day and they did themselves proud. Then followed the parade, which was a surprise to everyone. It consisted of the band in a decorated wagon, followed by decorated rigs, the colts of the show, single drivers, double drivers, work teams, saddle-horses came the comic rigs, which were all good and ope in particular, though it did get a prize, deserves mention. It consisted of a light wagon with a corn stalk top, with the horse hitched behind and guided with ropes, and to take ihe place of an auto horn "toot toot" was printed on the front.

It was the design and construction of Chas. Gall and Roy Spaulding. After the parade the rest of the forenoon wa devoted to judging the colts, horses and exhibits, then came ihe noon hour. At 1 o'clock the crowd proceeded to the ball grounds and wittnessed a corking good game between the Lin-colnville and Burdick teams; it was pre-arranged to play only nine innings so as to have time for the rest of the program. At the.

end of the ninth inning the score stood 4 to 4 so they had to call it a tie game, this was a disappointment to lots of the fans, but we trust that what followed repaid them for not seeing the game out which can be decided some other time. Every one then started for the pasture north of town, where first accured the horse and pony races. In the high enclosed pen were six or seven wild and wooly long horned Texas steers, which were loaned for the occasion by Win. Martin and were to furnish the material for the roping contest. One of our home boys David Pearson was the first man up.

and after the usual preliminaries, out bounced one of those Texae rangers, and Dave right after him, he made an exceptional good throw and succeeded in tieing his steer in 1:26 1-2, being the fastest time made. It was unfortunate that the crowd could not have been handled to a better advantage, for as soon as the steer was down a crowd of selfish "don't care a darn if anybody else sees or not' men and boys made a rush and surrounded the man and steer so that only about 2 Begins Thursday, October 20; Closes Saturdaj7, October 22.

He was working away as usual when he got too near the business end on one of the horses. Hogan didn't know it was loaded, but it was, and when it went off, he received a nice soft clean hoof, square in the mouth.

Hogan promply went to sleep and did not wake up for some lime, but we are glad to say that ontside a good bump no serious results followed, and now Hogan is around as lively as ever. The prices quoted on these days will be cash prices, averaging a good 10 per cent below usual credit prices asked by credit stores for these qualities.
