Rasmus Larsen had new phone
put in his harness shop, Saturday.

Well, what do you think. Eighty
six cigars is almost two boxes. We're
not saying anything more.
Chris Christensen, the timer for
Esbeck e. Co. demonstrated his skill
in his work last week by repairs he
made on bent and mutilated horn.
He repaired it SO nicely you can
scarcely find the place.
Petersen & johnson decorated the
interior of their store last week with
a covering of wall paper. 1t has
frightened it up remarkably and
now the place has a clean and airy
atmosphere that is certainly pleasant
Since the days have heightened,
Miss Emig finds she may have time
for another pupil or so in her music
class during the day, Tuesday. If
you desire to join you will find her
in Elk Horn every Tuesday.

ballton friends the first of the week.

is visiting his little girl, Agnes, who
stays with her grandmother, Mrs.
H. f.. Setback. He is also visiting
his brother-in-law and relatives

Hold your left hand in front of
you. Now bring your first finger
down until it touches your thumb.
Thatshows you how many wolves
Nels Bennedsen and Chris Nelson
got Sunday. To tell the truth they
didn't go on the hunt at ALL When
they do We'll post you.
Miss Smith, the new telephone
operator, took charge of central,
Tuesday, and is being assisted by
Mrs. Peter Petersen. Miss Smith is
an operator Of much experience and
this coupled with natural aptitude
for the work insures the patrons the
best OF service through the Elk Horn
office, rs we'll as elsewhere.
Rev. Jensen is to be installed as
pastor of the Extra charge Sunday
and Rev. Jersild and number of
other ministers will perform the cere.
mony incident to the event. The
Elk Horn choir intend to be in at
tendance in body and furnish the
music for the occasion. There will
be meeting both in the afternoon and
evening.
Elk Horn is just OH the verge of
one OF the best Improvements that
has been made for some time and
that's the cement sidewalk PROPOSE
ton. We hope, now that the project
is on foot, it will be built from the
corner by Carl SHREDDER & Company's
store clear down the street to where
''little Johnny fell in the creek'' and
farther. Surely no one with the
least vestige of enterprise in his
makeup, will attempt to balk its be-
ing built and built right. 1t will
add s75 in value to every building
on the street-that's certain.
Fresh and ruddy and with a rugged
look that betokens renewed vigor
and improved health, Landlord Nels
Christensen arrived in Elk Horn,
Saturday afternoon after months
sojourn in southern California climes.
| Nels went west for the sole benefit
he might derive for his physical self
and while he was gone, aimed to Sc
cure only such work as was light
and would strengthen rather than
weaken him. While he had intend
ed staying longer when he first went,
he found it very disagreeable with
out his family and decided to return.
lie does not contemplate returning
to California soon, at any rate un-
less he first disposes Of his properly
here. We are mighty pleased to
find Nels looking so much better and
believe he looks more like his real
self than he has for many months.
| We hope he may retain the hold he
now has on good health.
While the Journal Sinner was
Iuiotly obloliluS III easU Xix 1Ofn,
Tuesday, he ran across strange
"dufab'' in Hans Hansen's blacksmith
shop. At first he was unable to tell
whether it was a flying machine or a
nutmeg crater. Just imagine his
surprise then, when he was informed
that it was boat-one of these
things that floats like Ivory soap,
you know. We took it all in at a
gIance-rounded frame, flat bottom,
light board sides, halter broke and
not afraid of the cars. It's a dinger
and will swim like duck, Hans
says. The boys are talking of
running pleasure excursions to
Denmark, in it this summer. Then
if it works they have number OF
trips in the air among them visit to
the weather man, trip to the moon,
one to j. Pierp Morgan in New York
City and some of their other old
friends. We suggest the name "Git-
Thar-Eli," for the new craft.
