Our Booster from Jewell, Kansas • 4

Page four OUR BOOSTER country, but the Kansas City men had it so well planned, that it was carried through without an accident of any kind, barring a very few punctures, and with as much smoothness as the most optimistic could hope or plan for. The ball on Thursday night was the grand climax of the association in a social way. We viewed it all from the balcony and it was indeed a very pretty sight, also we can give you a lot of inside information. Mrs. Mc.

and I sat in company with a gentleman and his daughter from Akron, Ohio, and she was on speaking terms with all the different materials that were used in the gowns the ladies wore. For a mere man we learned lots of things. We thought, for instance, that Moline was the name of a good old farm wagon, but many of these gowns were made, at least in part, of moline. Also these ball gowns, which are shorter on both ends this year, cost just as much as their predecessors of a few years ago, that were longer. This blamed war, you know, has put everything up.

A wag, who sat just ahead of us studied the scene for awhile, and then began naming the dresses. There was Revelation dancing with a big fat man, and right next to her on the floor was Consternation, and Illustration, to say nothing of Going Some, Radiation, Realization, Hesitation and Speculation. Of course they had some regular sessions of the association, at which time business was transacted and speeches made, and of course we attended a part of them, but please, if you want to know what was done, come into the bank after a time and we will let you read the proceedings. Next year the association meets in Atlantic City. If you have a bathing suit, or can provide yourself with one, you will be equipped to attend.

A HORRIBLE BANK Mr. Charles Vernon Gann was the bold robber in the case. He stole our efficient bookkeeper, Miss Louise Crumrine. We were not protected by insurance for this particular hazard. You will find the complete account of the affair in the marriage license record.

The bank's force arise as one person and wish the happy couple a long life and offer our congratulations. Splendid Example of Preparedness When "Jake" Gann stole one Crumrine girl from us, our worthy president had another on the waiting list. We didn't even have to learn a new name or changed initials. The new bookkeeper's name is Miss Lois Crumrine..
