Aprll 10.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aleck Westerberg are
up from Minneapolis for visit with
relatives here.
Take care of your wheels, girls and
boys. Cycling is going to be in fash
ion this summer.
Andrew Hedin of Willmar was out
in this neighborhood Wednesday look
ing after the farmers stock.
Wages are high and laborers are
scarce in these parts. You can hardly
secure an employe even if you want to
give him half of your farm.
People are too busy nowadays try
ing to seed, to stir up any news items
of interest. And Dick is also too busy
padding in the mud to gather the
MINOR events.
Miss Edna Norstrom has returned
from Nj Minneapolis, where she spent the
past two years. She will keep
house, for her brother, Axel, who
will farm in grand style.
We are all watching the war in the
far East with eager interest. BY read
ing the TRIBUNE We get we'll posted.
Every time the Japs are victorious
our hearts leap with great JOY.
Dick seems to be the center OF atten-
ton by some of the Gazette writer's;
but it don't effect him the least. Dick
is like red hot stove who won't get
wet if hundred men spit on it.
What is the matter with the Semi
nary representative? We like to hear
what is "going on at that popular
institution. Most of US have been STU
dents there some time or other.
James Mattson, who is student at
the Seminary, visited with his folks
here Sunday. James is member OF
the senior class and will finish the
commercial course at the end of the
present term.
Hunting and fishing are going on,
on quite an extensive scale in the
swamps and creeks here. But the
enormous thick ice makes fishing pref
ty difficult. So far none have been
known to violate the game law.
| A great deal of sickness IS at present
prev ailing in this locality. Miss Sell
| ma Trulson is another victim who has
been down with a very bad cold the
| past week, but she is now able to be
around again.
Andrew Norstrom, who recently dis
posed of his farm interests, has gone
to the twin cities to try his fortune.
He was accompanied by Emil VAIL
stran of Fahlun. Both are industrious
young men and we predict sure sue
cess for them.
The petitioners for the free delivery
route to head out from this postoffice
are eagerly awaiting the outcome OF
same. 1t seems as if Volstead was too
busy talking "Canadian reciprocity
to remember the people in his own
congressional district.
We notice that the Gazette's "Goli-
aths' do not desire to express their
opinions about the result of the city
election in Willmar. This is with the
exception of one, who was bold enough
last week, to express his wrath and
"mingled regret over the result.
And then he imagines he ''gets even:
with the populists by saying that they
were the cause of the 'disruption." "
What is this world coming to?
Martin Swenson returned home from
Bowbells, n. D., last Friday, where
he left with large number of horses
about four weeks ago. He was not as
successful, with the sale of the horses
as he could have been under different
circumstances. Just upon reaching
his destination a severe snowstorm SCI
in, which naturally did not make thu
horses in very great demand, JUS
then, as fodder was also said to b.
scarce up there
