The last meeting of the Literary So

Interest was manifested in the meet

promising young men of the town.

! The society recently organized here
lby the sons, and their descendants,
lof the province of Hallingdal, Norway,
$ known as Halling Laget, promises to
i be among the strong social organiZa-
: ltions of the state. This community,

Estate, has many residents either direct
Tor descendant from the sons of this
province, and inasmuch as there is no
limitation as to territory covered in

Auction sales of farm property have
lbeen numerous here for the past
laulDntll, and at each sale the price real
Iized for property has been more than
satisfactory to the owners. Sales of
farm property are a good gauge Of a
: lcountry's prosperity, and judging from
!, 1.-THE successful termination of sales
6 lmade in this community. it is safe to
y iassume that our people as whole are
9 tenjoying a high degree of prosperity
g and are looking forward with renewed
} hope to a continuation of the same
Throughout the present year.
2. The past two weeks of warm wealth
e er and bright sunshine has caused
1.-THE snow to disappear very rapidly

II surface, the water has drained from
}. the land, leaving most of the fields
i. Fin splendid condition for seeding. For
k ia number of years our farmers have
Il been troubled with mud and water
d during the spring season, and the re-
,r suit has been that many fields have
n gone unsown, or have been "rnuGded
: in, and the result at harvest time has
h been anything but satisfactory. How
n ever prospects at the present time
III is such ass To give every farmer re-
lnewed hope, and unless We have px,
Icessiye rainfall during the early spring
1.-THE crops will be put in the greunt
Iunder the most favorable conditions
(which Is reason To hope for a bonnti-
Iful return at harvest time.
