ReV. U. L.. "A. christensen and wife

present at the dedication of the Dan

Oakfield on that day.
A farmers meeting was held Tues
day in the school building just north
OF the Elkhorn church for the pur-
pose of discussing various questions
which farmers are interested IL, one
OF which is the Corn Problem.
Magnus Peterson, principal of the
Elkhorn school has plans under head
way by which he hopes TO secure an
organ for the school. This is a COED
move and we trust that the patrons
will realize its value and make it a
success.
Peter l. Peterson, of Harlan, sod a
100 acre farm in Kansas to Anton
Jacobsen's son who lives northwest OF
Elkhorn recently. 1t is located in a
very desirable portion ofthe state and
near good market. Mr.. Jacobsen is
we'll pleased with the climate and
'country.
j; Miss Clara Christensen, student
of the Elkhorn college, has filled the
place of Miss Anderson, of the Inter-
mediate room, during the latter's
sickness the past few weeks, very
satisfactory, Miss Andersen, however
is expected to be able to fill her place
before long.
Rev. Jersild and several students of
the Elkhorn college went to the STAN
ley school last Sunday, where the
Rev. delivered sermon. While
going there they were unprepared to
meet the low temperature: conse-
quently the Rev. severely froze both
ears and some of the students froze
their ears, hands and faces.
Rev. Gregersen left the first of this
week for Wisconsin, where he will
remain two weeks. He went via Des
Moines to see the architect of their
new church to get the plans and
| specifications so that the material can
be hauled before the roads break up
There will be no preaching services
Sunday.
The Elkhorn Telephone Company is
now branching towards Extra. Last
Saturday r. j. Hansen and S. e. Ped.
ersen got twenty-six subscribers be-
tween these two burgs with much en-
couragement for all that they faile1
to see concerning it. The company is
planning to be in Extra by spring.
The value of this plan materializing
| is not realized at first but once estab-
lished, its worth will prove more
than the cost by many fold.
A. G. Christensen and wife Of
Omaha, visited his father of Elkhorn
last Sunday and Monday. Mr..
Christensen was recently married and,
although verv busy, he took the time
10 bring his bride 10 his home to be
greeted by his relatives and friends.

an electrical firm in Omaha which
will take him some five or six months
after this is finished he expects to
move to this vicinity and help his
father in the nursery business.
The home talent of Kimballlton
rendered the two plays which they
have been practicing for some time
last Saturday and Sunday nights. 1t
will be remembered that they were:
Dalby Prestegaard and En- Udfugt
Diet Gronne. Both were rendered
each night and those present say it
was splendid. The attendance was
hindered much by the extremely cold
weather. The company expects to
render them in Jacksonville on Mon
day and Wednesday, Feb. LIST and Sd,
and probably again in Kimbalton.
The Kimhallton Danish Lumber
company held meeting last Friday
and formally decided to consolidate
