participated in the table delectation.
I owe rny knowledge of most of the
numbers to Mrs. Carl Boeker who
thoughtfully jotted down brief notes.
I am informed that more that) two
hundred autos were parked around
the community house and the entrance
to Van Wormer Field. Early in the
day came Professor Dresser and his
band from Bay City. I never heard a
toot and 1 wonder if the Eagle saw
1 the band. Those who heard the band
play, are generous in their compli-
ments. Wish 1 might have heard <4
least one number, for then I could
haw written something to please the
Band Box. After dinner had been dis-
1 patched sports began with a tourna-
ment which had fiftwn entrants
' among them being the Woman's Club
entry a Tittle mule named "Home
Brew." Johki Ackerman won
Carl Ackerman second and
Brew third. Home Brew should have
been first and 1 am not required to
give my reasons. The potato rave was
won by Roy Nelson with Bob Thomp-
son second. I would enter a noodle
race but racing around for a spud
when they can be bought for a cent
per pound has no attraction for me.
The ball game Collegeport-Blessing
was a hot affair and required nine in-
nings for a decision of 19-9 in favor
of the home train. Van Warmer Field
paid our people a big profit on this

L. E. Liggett and was delighted to

about Jesus feeding the multitude. I
can readily believe that he did that,
with five little loaves of bread and
two sardines but I'll bet two dollars
against the buttejn Ben Mowery lost
from his every day trousers that the
crowd went home hungry and raided
the pantry for a snack of noodles or
Agnes apple pie. The* moral is that
no man, woman or child, went away
hungry on this birthday of College-
port.
We are all fed. clothed, sheltered
in this burg and know little of what is
called depression. God has been good
to us. He has been kind, loving and
generous, so let us ail be thankful.

many thou-
sands of readers of "Thoughts" may
be comforted. I will state that my
condition is somewhat improved. The
valvular escarpment is not functioning,
in a normal manner but the doctor
says two new rings will fix that. The
paradox at times runs up to 125 which I
of course is not favorable. The fan |
appears to be* normal while the pandect
shows considerable less inflamation.

June 16. which is my birthday and L
am anxious to celebrate.
It is wonderful the beautiful bou-
quets we make day after day from
the wild flowers and grasses that
grow everywhere one looks. Today we
found a little fern like phunt with
, delicate leaves that made up into a
I beautiful table ornament. And »ny
girl friends, bring beautiful ornamen-
I tai and useful things as witness, bright

don’t know Ethel, will state that she
