An important and timely article
in the February number of the New
Idea Woman's Magazine is entitled
=" An American Girl as an English
Peeress." 1t is written by Michael
White, an Englishman, who presents
his opinions attractively. A sec
ond chapter of a symposium called
'The Happiest Day of My Life"
will find many appreciative readers.
A special artical upon butter
making under the heading of "The
Country Woman's Friend the

practical and useful. The stories
are bright and interesting, and the
entire table of contents is feast

1t has been quite windy for
the last several days.
c. G. Berger went to Meade
Monday to get load of corn for
Jake Cordes.
Church was not very we'll at
tended Sunday and we cant see
the reason why.
We were told to write up all
the news of our vicinity so will
do the best I can.
Henry Wiebalk and Jake Ora
ham are patching at Henry
Brinckmans during their absence
in Harper Co.
Martin Buck is at Herman
Thonhoffs putting down a we'll.
Martin is a good we'll man and
will surely get well if anybody
can.
We received an invitation to
a birthday next Wednesday.
Martin Gruempkin is going to
celebrate his twentyfrst birth
day.
Claus and George Berger went
up to Allen Miller's in the Arte-
sian Valley and brought home a
fine thoroughbred male, he is
only 10 months old and weighs
over 600 lbs.
The board of Odee twp. met
in regular session at the home of
Jake Cordes last Monday a week
ago and declared war against the
prairie dogs as soon as the anu
milton arrives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Brinck-
man and children left Wednes-
day for Harper Co. to visit with
friends and relatives for several
weeks. Mr.. Brinckman used to
live in Harper Co. and be has
many old friends who will be
glad to see him.
Several of the people in this
neck of the woods, especially the
children seem to be on the sick
list. 1t is not the humps that
we have but it must be the La
Grippe and we hope that the
mumps will stay up in the north
ern part of the country and not
come here as they will not be
welcome.
