I.udden is going to incorporate. Why
shouldn't we? We are not very big,
but it is not necessary to be big to be
important. We have just as good a
location as can be found anywhere in
the state, and the surrounding country
is just as good as you will find in the
state. There is no reason why Ludden
should not be prosperous village, and
all it needs is little of the get-up-and-
do-it energy of its people.
