Charley Lipscomb says of his trip to
Alberta, that west Canada is over-boom-
ed now that all land for 70 miles back
from a railroad is taken up. Asked If it
blowed some there, says, we've had
harder blows here in Ohio since his re-
turn than he saw there. He thinks, how
ever, Stark county will do for him.
Clay Rockhill, of Alliance, is camping
down on his farm and putting In his
spring crops. The family will follow as
soon as school closes.
The Atwater school board is between
two opinions; one to move the vacated
school house from one and one-half miles

he stayed by her until the details of the

S. Winder put 1874 spokes in wheel

got a check for 500. Reckon that's going
