SURPRISE FOR HERMAN AMES.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Walters and two children; Mr. aneb Mrs. Oscar Boulden, of Francesville; Mr. and Mrs. John Culp and daughter, gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Markin, of Moody, last Sunday evening and with them served a picnic supper to Herman Ames and his parents. The table on which four plates of fried chicken were conspicious, looked as if Hoover had been forgotten and the cooks had thought only that they were serving one of Uncle Sam’s boys. . After supper friends and neighbors gathered to visit with Herman until eighty-seven were counted. Victrola music and general conversation was the order while 12 gallons of ice cream was dished out and consumed by the crowd. It was an enjoyable evening for all and— Herman, may it be only a little while, Till we hear your voice and see your smile, Till the victory’s won and the war may end, This is the wish of all your friends. ONE WHO WAS THERE.
