Jonathan Corntassel came to town
Friday night and held forth at the
Barnwarming in Rothwell Gym
nasium, where nine hundred stalwart
farmer boys and buxom maidens were
his guests.
Arrayed in overalls, dairy suits, sun
bonnets and many colored aprons, the
guests crowded the dancing floor to
the music of the ten-piece orchestra
from 3 o'clock at night until 1 o'clock
the nest morning. For those who did
not wish to dance a roaring bonfire
was built on the cinder court west of
the gymnasium, where, seated on
bales of straw and protected from the
wind by banks of sapplings, they con
sumed large quantities of gingerbread,
cider, marshmallows, "wienies,"
pumpkin pie. sandwiches and pickles.
Songs, games, contests and a 'possum
hunt furnished the entertainment for
the fresh-air seekers.
At 9 o'clock the results of the Har
vest Queen election was announced,
and Miss Mamie Holt jvas crowned
queen by Dean F. B. Mumford. Short
ly afterward dancing began and con
tinued through the evening. Charlie
Chaplin, a typical country swain in
tight fitting coat, wing collar and
flaming cravat, and a bewhiskered
country sheriff attracted considerable
attention.
The walls of the gymnasium were
covered with corn-stalks and the ceil
ing was concealed by many-colored
autumn leaves, through which the
"electric" stars and a large moon
shed a subdued light Between dances,
the guests were seated on bales of
straw arranged along the walls. The
volley-ball room was converted into
an old fashioned country living room,
with old furniture and hanginjes. Al
coves and secluded corners fo' those
who wished to sit out dances were
provided in another room.
The dance programs were in the
form of checkbooks, each dance being
recorded in this manner: "Pay to
Johnnie Jones one waltz Signed ."
All checks were honored. In the bacK
of the book was another check which,
when presented at the "Farmers'
Bank," was good for one plate of
"eats."
Between dances a substitute .or
chestra was provided In the basement
by pens of pigs, calved, sheep and
ducks. These furnished an abundance
of "local color."

Try"xrT"T'ii7 This picture will be a profound disappointment to the morbidly
-Ll V X IvL curious, in so far as they will see nothing that is of obviously sen
sational nature. However, persons of real intelligence and believers in the demand that
"light should be thrown upon the darker spots of life in order to protect the innocent and
unwary" will find this picture a gripping and interesting entertainment and of incalculable
educational value morally. -The Management. '
