PRINSBURG, July 1.-Quite a
number of our young people will
spend the Fourth at Renville.
Some 20 gallons of Johnson's VEL
vet ice cream has been ordered for
our picnic here on the Fourth. So
we hope the weather man will
please take notice and send US
warm weather.
Dick Edsinga of Hector was here
attending the marriage Of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Bertha Knott,
to John Pheifer.
Miss Richie Slagter has recovered
from her late attack of appendicitis
and is now helping her aunt, Mrs.
Evert Roelofs, for the summer.
A number of Roseland and Hol-
land people went to John Pheifer's
place in Roseland last Friday even
ing and sprung a pleasant surprise
on the inmates. A pleasant even
ing was spent.
Miss Ethel Knott will help in the
family of Jake Berghuis during her
vacation this summer.
Cornelius Molenaar is back from
his trip northward, where he went
to look at land in the vicinity of
Pease, MINI. Cornelius reports
the grass fine but the country too
rough to suit him.
Miss Gertie Pheifer of Roseland
is visiting her grandmother, Mrs.
Van den Einde, and others here.
Miss Gertie Roleofs spent a week
with Mrs. P. Vlaar.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold Plowman of
Raymond were here Sunday.
Mrs. Carrot Slagter visited with
her niece, Mrs. N. Vos of Roseland,
last Thursday.
Ben Wibbles, our new hog buyer,
bought up a goodly quantity of
porkers last week. They were de-
livered in Renville Thursday, and a
large number of our farmers were
there.
Road work is about done for this
season, and quite an improvement
is noted almost everywhere. These
last wet years have taught the peo-
pie to grade the roads, or get
caught in mud and slush.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Markus are at
Pease, MIMI, to spend the week of
the Fourth with relatives there.
Incidentally Mr.. Markus will keep
an eye open on the adj or dis-ad-
vantages of that country.
Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Dragt and
Mr.. and Mrs. TIE Strake from Mus
catine, Iowa, visited the Talen
family Wednesday.
Mrs. R. Roelofs drove to Rem
vile Friday to consult Dr.. Lume-
ley.
w. Huisinkveld of Jamestown,
N. D., was here Wednesday to see
old friends and acquaintance. He
was on his way to Maurice, Iowa,
and may be back here Tuesday, if
nothing prevents. 1t may be that
some persons from here will join
him on his way back to North Da,
kota. The land is said to be just
right up there.
A bright baby boy was welcomed
in the Carrot Wieberdink home or
the morning of July /. Garrett s
smile was almost a grin, so pleased
was he to get this hired man in
time for harvest. We congratu-
late.
The new line of the telephone
that runs into Roseland did not give
satisfaction, as the wires of two
lines sometimes connected. This
has now been remedied, and all is
we'll.
The Glorious Fourth will soon be
here. What fun in store for the
small boy with the fire crackers
If we could but imprint on the
minds of these same boys that the
fun is usually one-sided and that
side is theirs. The scare, the
burns, the runaway horses, fires
etc., are facts that the minds Of
many boys fail to grasp until toe
late. Let the boys have fun, but
let it be a harmless fun. Wave the
flag oftener, boys (but not too near
the shying horses heads) and lei
toy pistol and crackers alone. Let
us parents do all in our power tt
make the celebration of the Glori
GUS Fourth one Of less danger to oul
children. So many families are
plunged into grief each year, be-
cause the small boy did not think
To prevent this, parents will neee
to do the thinking for them to :
certain extent and supply othel
recreations instead of the danger
Gus ones But we must not forge
that we too were young.
