A boy will be offered to the highest bidder at the Baptist church next Sunday evening at 7:30.   The pastor will preside at this auction and will be assisted in this service by Messrs. Eby, Morss, Hanna, Kessinger, Wells, Organ, Crumrine, and Mrs. Alex Rader.  We will have the youngest pianst in Howard, presiding at the piano.  Eugene Harris will give a piano solo and Charles Angell will give the scripture lesson from memory.  Next week is Boy Scout Anniversary week and the Boy Scouts will be the special guests of the evening together with their Scoutmaster.  A male quartet will furnish a special musical number.  Attend this service and see if you can determine how much your boy is worth.  Attention men and boys!  "We want each man to bring a boy as his guest, if you haven't a boy borrow one for the night and have him sit with you during the auction."  The high school orchestra will play a 15 minute program.
