and playing games until late hour,
the invaders went home, leaving S20
as token of their esteem. Rev.
Gustaf Peterson preached his intro
ductory sermon at the Swedish Luth-
eran church here last Sunday after
noon. The congregation is we'll
pleased with its new pastor. .Judg-
ing from his writings, juke must be a
regular pessimist, otherwise he would
not look at the dark side of every
thing. We certainly believe that it
would be no harm in having q base
ball club here, and it would not be
necessary to play on Sunday either.
We remember that last year Juke was
along playing in picked-up team
once, and while batting he was in
such mortal fear OF being hit by the
ball that he did not get over it for

brother and sister here. -. .Nels Gil
bert went to Minneapolis last week,

several houses 5. "A number of "sur-
prisers;" victimized Aug. Magnuson

time was had. -. The common talk
when two farmers meet nowadays is:
"Skall du sa mycket fax arp" "Ja,
ja, det ma du veta; det betalar sig bra
att sa fax nu." No wonder, consid-
ering the high price. Flax fields of
from so to 80 acres are common here
now. NEWSBOY.
