Billy Topp, with Hazel M. Cass Players
It would be superfluous for this paper to offer introductory words of praise for the Hazel M. Cass Players, who will appear here in their big waterproof tent theater one week, beginning Monday June 14th, since they
have played here for several seasons past. Great care has been taken in selecting the plays, which are all royalty offerings but recently released to traveling companies. Billy Topp, popular manager and comedian, will be here again this year to meet his many friends. The Dancing Herberts, featuring various clever and pleasing modern steps are among the several vaudeville attractions. Altho Miss Cass is giving us more expensive
entertainments each year, the admission price remains the same. Attendance is especially urged on the opening night when ladies will be admitted free if accompanied by an escort, gentleman or lady, holding an admission ticket.

- Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Kepple of Tolstoi, S.D. are expected today for a visit with relatives and old time friends in Nashua.
- Lynne L. Rust went to Des Moines on business connected with the Veteran Bureau. Mrs. Rust drove him to Waterloo in his car.
- Mrs. Lena Billings Springer, of Cedar Rapids, visited friends here last week. She was accompanied home by her aunt, Mrs. Salena Wright.
- Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Bellamy, of Nichols, Iowa, came Friday and are visiting at the home of his father, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Bellamy. Gaylord is superintendent of the public school at Nichols and his wife is principal.
- Edmund Poppe, living north of town, has a might fine field of alfalfa at his farm. He had a stalk of alfalfa in town Tuesday morning that measured almost forty inches in height and was nearly ready to blossom.
- Manager Stewart and Misses Maybelle Johnson and Emma Schmudloch attended a tributary conference of employes at Waverly Tuesday. It was an all day meeting and a fine banquet was served at noon.
- C.E. Busby of New Hampton, a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Paschke, is quite sick in the hospital in that city from a case of blood poisoning in his hand caused by a slight scratch. It is feared he may have to have one finger amputated.
