35 cents. H. M. Hitchcock. Dec.
Milroy is moving on. At a recent
meeting of the council the saloon
license was raised from $500 to $3.50.
The Echo says that this does not
conform to the best wishes of those
engaged in the business, but this
license fee will keep out a third
saloon.
The Olivia Times says that IN. J.
Bowling has a treasure in the rear
room of the state bank at that place,
the same being separator that will
separate wild oats from wheat to
perfection. The machine is manu-
featured in Sparta, Wis, and farmers
who have tried it pronounce it a
perfect success"
Rev. C. McKibben, who recently
retired from the pastorate of the
Presbyterian church at Morgan has
accepted call to act as minister of
the Presbyterian church at Marshall,

At recent meeting of the Granite
council it was voted to purchase a
new governor with the gate shaft,
according to the design of the Power
Engineering Co, of Minneapolis,
paying 1925 for the same. 1t is

The Schell Brewing Co. of New
Ulm, after having received word of
license contest on in Redwood
Falls, commenced planning a nom
license beverage, and they now have
it in what they call their Vacuum
Tonic" from which they claimed
that the alcohol found in beer is en-
tirely removed, but still leaving the
filling quality of old King Barley.
The company is sending it out as a

knocked more than one Kelley grad
uate that we know of out of the box.
Fred. w. Johnson of the Setter
House of New Ulm has long since
entertained a mania for securing
the autographs of great men and he

albums of eminent men lin the world.
Only recently he secured valuable
addition to the collection, it being
none other than that of Sergius
White, the Russian peace minister,

In addition the minister sent a
picture of his mug to the New Ulm
man, and Fred. has votedssitlabout
as handsome as most of those in his
possession. Wise men seldom grow
handsome.
The Morgan Messenger says that
H. M. Ball has returned from a
weeks tour through Towner county,
North Dakota, where he was look
ing over land. While there Mr..
Ball purchased 104O acres of home
