John Jurgensen had the cutest lit
tie advertisement in his window to
draw the crowd Saturday afternoon
that he has had since he is Mr..

Wat he paid for it.
1t fell upon Cliff Ridings to act
as coachman Saturday for the ladies
! Fred said that if certain one
could not attend he refused to drive
for the others. Cliff did fine and was
real cheerful about it. With the
school ma'am's help they managed
to drive us home without driving ov-
er any telephone poles. Say! she is
green. AS she was driving up the
darcey hill, all of a sudden Cliff put
on the brake. (Which, by the way
. was on the wagon box onlyC when
she cried very sympathetically,. oh,
Cliff, don't do that it's hard enough
for the team to pull this load up
hill without putting on the brake"
This remark caused the others as
well as cliff to fall out of the sled
with laughter If she stays in North
Park she will learn all about these
things.

81 the business transactions, each lady
: got busy with her embroidery. The

busy with her own work and thoughts
