spent July 18th with her brothers,
'Chas. and Ed. Holmgren. Her hus-
band has a position as buttermaker
in the creamery at Spring Vale, and
they like the place very much.
Wages are vely high this year. The
farmers are offering $4,000 for two
months and still there are not enough |
men to 60 around.
The crops are looking fine. The
grain around here was all headed out
by July 4th,. so it seems as tho
harvest will be just as early this
year as in former years. There will
be an abundance of straw. The
heads on the grain are Of good size
and if the weather doesn't get too
hot the grain will fill out very nice
ly. Let us hope so, anyway.
Mrs. Chas. w. Holmgren enter
tanned a number of her lady friends
last Friday afternoon in honor of
her sister-in- law, Mrs. Ador Edmund
of Spring Vale. :.

ted on for appendicitis at the Will

/ A good many people have told us
Ilately that the Lake Elizabeth items

at once, and get the best and most
interesting news.

| July 18th was spent at various pic

las celebrating was concerned. But
Iabout nine o'clock the clouds began
to part and the warm sun began to
Isend it's rays upon the wet earth, and
the afternoon turned out nice and
livery warm. The Baptists celebrated
at A. P. Bjur's. In the forenoon the
rain interfered with the regular pro-
gram. Dinner was served by the la
