From the hour when the whistles' shrieked forth jubilation over the success of Yankees: already “aver there” the streets were throng- ed with peovle. An impromptu band concert entertained hundreds at the corner of Serond and Center for over en hovr. following which the stage was shifted to the depot.

The entertainment of “the early evening found its inception in a ban- euet prepared by the ladies of the Baptist and Christian “churches, served to 160 people, including the selectives, in the social parlors of the Methodist church. L. A, Reed, superintendent of the Midwest refinery, was the first speaker introduced by the toastmas- ter, the Rev. M. H, Moorman, and in an address ilustrated ith stories of the boys in khaki he alternately swayed his audienee between spon- taneous bursts of laughter and more serious consideration of his theme. The draft_men, he pointed out, rep- best of America’a fighters, selected a winning army in the field. That America takes great pride in the method employed to raise such an army wab also borne home to the se- lectives. Illustrating the case of the slacker the speaker cited the argument pur- ported to have b6en engaed in by; two negroes one of whom declared} that Uncle Sam couldn’t_make him “You're right, Sambo. But Uncle! Sam can take you over where the fighting is and you can use your own} judgment when you get there as to, whether you will fight or not.” Concluding his remarks, Mr. Reed! spoke of the unity of spirit that ob-! tains in the land and offered a toast to the Blue and Gray. e Here's to the Plue of the wind-swept| North When we meet on the fields of} France; | May the spirit of Grant be with you, all As the sonp of the North advance. | | Here's to the Gray of the sun-kisat South When we meet om thre fields of!
