The evening was passed pleasantly

was the presentation to FIR. O'Connor
of generous purse. Prof. Fourier

manner and FIR. O'Connor replied in
a happy vein. FIR. O'Connor came
here from Sioux City twelve years
ago and the Daily Avalanche of June

assume charge of the church. Dur
ing his pastorate, FIR. O'Connor has
built up the church and done much
for the community. He stands high

Conducted by State
EXHIBIT IN THIS CITY

gram opened at three O'Clock. Pla-
cards with plainly lettered statements
and photographs of sanitaria and
appliances for fighting the white

Sunlight and fresh air seemed to be
the battle cry. One motto proclaimed
in larger black type that:
.'To nail your bedroom window shut
is to drive a nail in your coffin"
Wednesday afternoons program
consisted of an address by Dr. Kirghis
and a lecture, with stereopticon
slides, by DR.. Pratt of the State
Board of Health, who accompanies
the. exhibit. Supt. VIM. Angus of
the public schools presided and the
older pupils attended in body. DR..

DR.. Pratt's lecture was practical
and the points clearly brought out by

state epidemiologist. Mayor Henne-
mann presided at the evening session
and addresses were made by Rev. F.
H. Oehler, DIR. Fl. L. Lamb and DIR.

BUSINESS CHANGE JUNIOR BANQUET
H.R. HaIversOn & Co. Buy Peart'S
Furniture Store
THEY'RE NOWlN CHARGE
In Connection With Two Other
Stores, New Pr0priet0rs Will
Make Things Hum

! II. r. Halverson & Co. have bought
out the T. w. Peart furniture store.
The new firm took possession Wednes.
day morning. Mr.. Peart will remain
with them time in the capacity OF
clerk until they get acquainted with
their new location.
| The new firm is composed of HI. r.
Halyerson and HI. S. Halverson, both
of Fergus Falls and brothers. Their
father, S. Halverson, owns and oper'
ates furniture store at Battle Lake,
| Mimi.
A third son of S. Halverson is in
the furniture business at GAINESVILLE,
MIMI, H. S. Halverson is local agent
of the Northern Pacific at Fergus
Falls.
H. r. Halverson will manage the
Sank Centre store and will make his
home here.
The new firm expects to run the
Sank Centre store on business prin-
ciples and to go after all the business
n that line that should naturally
come to Sank Centre. The fact that
the Halversons have stores at Sank
; Centre, GAINESVILLE and Battle Lake,
| will enable them to buy in large
quantities and hence to sell at lower
prices than they otherwise could.
HI. S. Halverson is interested with
his brother in the GAINESVILLE store.
So it seems that the family under
stands the furniture business thor
ouehly. The new firm is therefore in
a position to conduct the Sank Centre
store along lines that will naturally
increase it's business and bring them
substantial returns for their invest
ment.
Halverson & Company take over
the undertaking business that has
been run in connection with the
furniture store. They are experienced
in this line of business.
