PRESIDENT'S BIRTHDAY BALL BIG
SUCCESS.
Palmer enjoyed one of the most suc
cessful social events of the year
at the President's Ball, on Satur
‘day, January 30th. A large and en
thusiastic crowd danced to the mu
sic of the finest Orchestra that
has ever played in Palmer. It was
the Army Engineers* consisting of
fourteen players who are also good
singers. Much credit is due to
Mrs. L.C. Stock and the committee
in charge of the affair. The big
event was undoubtedly a financial
success and will help to swell the
funds necessary to carry on the
Infantile Paralysis Campaign. Next
comes the "March of rimes" movement
and every one will be doing a lot
for the cause by giving their DIMES.
