PICNIC HELD BY "MEDICS" The Coles-Cumberland County Society entertained with a lunchcon try and, Club on picnic Thursday afternoon at at the Mattoon Counone o'clock and continued until dusk in honor of the members and their familles, while physicians from other counties and dentists also with thetr families were invited, many attending. A basket luncheon was spread on the south porch of the house, and delicious hot coffee, hot tea and iced drinks were served, while cream and cake were dessert delicaclen. There were about eighty persons present and a informal and most delightful picnic was held, which is intended to be the forerunner of annual occasions of the kind, Dr. J. G.

Baker of this city, president of the society, said today. While the men indulged in golf, horse shoe pitching and story telling, the women played bridge, tennis and other games. This first annual' plente of the physicians, their wives and families and invited friends in the profession, having its setting in the, beautiful and well appointed environment of the Country Club, was declared by all to have been a delightful one, which holds for all who attended it pleasing memories provocative of anticipation for the picnic of 1925. AGILITY OF RED WOLF IS DEMONSTRATED What agility has been attained and maintained by a man almost seventy years of age was demonstrated to a large audience at the Mattoon theater Thursday night by Red Wolf, great-grandson of the famous Sitting Bull, when the little blue-eyed Sioux: performed numerous acrobatics in a decorated sugar barrel. He also stood on a chair and bending his body backward picked up with his teeth from the floor behind him a black silk handkerchief he had spread flat.

Previous to his barrel stunts Red Wolf gave an opening act, realistic and historic. It was that of a Sioux chief, garbed in full war regalia, itting cross-legged before a camp fire in front of his tepee smoking the queer Indian pipe. He deliberately arose and performed the "Spirit" dance and invoked the favor of the Great Spirit and began the war dance. While in the midst of this a rifle! shot rang out and the Indian leaped high in the air, fell over flat on his face and gave a realistic imitation of the death agonies. This eventuated into a final effort in a spoken prayer in the Sioux language, with gestures toward the sky in pathetic appeal that the Indian might be received by the Great Spirit into the "Happy Hunting Ground," followed by the feigned dissolution of the soul from the body.

A return to the drama was quickly made when Red Wolf agilely leaped to his feet and with a graceful bow accepted the applause of his spectators. He then gave an address on early Indian life, stating among other things that the Inddan population of the United States is increasing so rapidly that the latest official figures show there are within 1,000 of as many Indiana here 88 when Christopher Columbus discovered America.

Gloucester and Revere alone were favored by fate. The fishermen came in slickers and oil skins and the commuters from the beach wore regulation two piece suits of the bathing denomination Anyway, the fun is on again and the weather man says, "It Ain't Goin' To Rain No More."
