More Than a Thousand Kiddies Guests of Mankato, Minn., Lodge

Eleven hundred rollicking children were recently the guests of Mankato, Minn., Lodge No. 225 at its third annual children's picnic on the shores of Lake Washington. The youngsters were taken to the Lake in trucks and autos. On their arrival each was given a card containing ten perforated tickets which could be traded in at the various refreshment stands for whatever the youngsters wished. Many of the children spent the tickets early, and before afternoon was far along had returned for ten more. The day was spent in a general romp up and down the shores of the lake, with bathing and boating as the main interest of the little ones. The party was back in town by six o'clock and not a mishap occurred to mar the joy of the day.
