We are pleased to hear again from
Ola Maintaining. He always has
something to say that is worth think
ing about twice.
A~big load of candy from the Will

vest d in high priced stallion.
Ernest Stenberg went to Harrison
Thursday to assist his brother Fred
IN the creamery, as Fred says he has
deal with LaGrippe on hand.
A little better weather at this writ
ing, which is greatly appreciated.
Many of those who had to strive with
the wintry blasts carry marks of the
battle on their faces.
When We look at the table of births
given In the last issue of the TRIBUNE
we are inclined to believe that such
towns as Dovre, Fahlun, Mamre and
Whitefeld are inhabited by Americans
instead of by Scandinavians, as we
had understood to be the case.
Albert Wicklund has been around
with petition for q rural free delivery
route which has been readily signed.
The Mamre Newsboy gives us some
excellent hints about publishing items
about nefghborhood visits. He saws
they are not OF interest to the public,
which we grant to be true. But it
seems to have become habit among
the correspondents. However, we will
hereafter try to follow your example,
brother Newsboy. (You are following
an excellent example, Pen, and we
hope you and Newsboy will not be
alone in that departure.-Ed.)
a. S. Nilsson returned on Wednes
day from St. Paul. He reports that
on account OF the extreme cold buyers
were scarce, and he had to leave some
cattle unsold 10 the stockyards.
A one armed beggar has been going
around here lately plying his voca-
tion. He seems to be very sensitive
when asked whether or not he is in the
habit Of offering some of the gifts re-
ceived on the saloon altar.
The parsonage at the Baptist church
has been fixed up and is now ready
for occupancy.
Frank Mattson is dealing in cattle,
hogs, horses, and "other articles too
numerous to mentiOn.''
Mrs. William Bomsta had the mis-
fortune of falling on the ice and
sprainiug an ankle.
George Jones has returned from
Minneapolis, where he has been stay
ing since last fall.
Hard coal has been sold at Atwater
this week for SIG per tou. Rather a
high price.
In spite of the Oft repea*ed demon
straton of the benefits derived from a
creamery one can occasionally find a
man who claims that COWS won't paw
unless given special care. Well, there
is nothing that pays unless you do it
right. Take good care OF your COWS
and You will get good supply OF
milk, which will bring you good
price at the creamery, and then you
can take the milk home and feed it to
the calves and pigs. But don't think
you can turn the COWS loose in the
straw pile and then get good results
at the creamery.
Peter Edmund and daughter Ida
went to Irving Tuesday, returning on
Thursday.
Now that the store has a good sup
ply of fine candy we hope the young
men can leave tobacco and snuff alone
and get something that tastes good
and does not make it disagreeable for
those coming in contact with them.
Gentlemen do not by words or actions
make themselves obnoxious to those
who associate with them. PEN.
