Norway Lake, July 29-Crops in
this locality look very promising and
farmers are looking for a bumper
crop this year.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Syverson came
home just in time to celebrate the
18th at Norway Lake. They made an
extended visit in North Dakota and
III the northern part of Minnesota.
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Halverson
and few Of their children took a
ride in IIalvorson's auto across the
country a few weeks ago and visit
ed relatives at Twin Valley, Mimi.
Henry llalvorson took his parents
and Miss Shell gren out for ride in
his auto week before last, and did
not turn his course before they all
landed in Nevis, MINI. There they
stayed for about week visiting JUS
tin and Oliver Halvorson and family
Miss Anna Swenson is at her par
entail home again after staying in ST.
Paul for a couple Of years. Miss
Ottine Stai accompanied her. She in
tends to stay in the country during
the hot season too.
Geo. Stene is home again after
months stay in Bowman county, N.
D. He reports crops looking fine in
that part Of Dakota, but as that
country is at times subject to hot
winds from the south, the crop may
be damaged considerable yet before
harvest.
Halvor Handle and family came
down from Canada last week for a
short visit and to take a last fare
we'll Of the formers mother, who is
very low at present and is not ex-
pected to live very long.
The report Of the death Of Miss
Thora Elkjer came as severe shock
to the residents of school district No
lO4 and not least so to the children
whose teacher she was last fall anc
spring. To pay their last respect to
their teacher the children and most
of their parents attended the fu-
neral. AS a teacher, Miss Elkjer was
an ideal, as her way of managing the
children Was such that she won thei1
love and confidence in a very short
time, and it was this that helped he1
to be such success in the schoo
room.
Edwin Erickson must be called
"The Smiling Lad" nowadays as he
has after many unsuccessful at
tempts and disappointments at last
been able to get a motor cycle.
Otto Swenson is down again from
South Dakota, where he has a home
stead. Otto now intends to fix ur
his threshing rig so as to be ready
to go out in the field as soon as the
threshing season opens.
Gunder Swenson has given all his
buildings a fine coat of paint this
summer, and is now preparing te
build new residence for himsel:
and his good wife to live in in thei
declining years.
The school house in district No. q
is now so far under way that an ic'
cream social was held there las
night. When this building is com
plete it will certainly be the pride o:
Dist. 25 though there are some wht
think it's too much of a good thing
As the majority rules in that distric
kicking will have very little effect.
We read in F. S. and H. the othe
day that politics. are almost as no
as the weather down in Minneapolis
but such is not the case around here
We have this much to say though
that some think old Monongalis
county is entitled to a place in tn
court house, and in the State capito
too. Such men as Hon. Nels Guam
Mr.. Smithson or Hon. Gandrud woul,
be the right timber to represent tn
farmers in the legislature. Prof
Nelson of New London has been men
toned as very suitable man to tax
care of the schools Of Kandiyoh
county the next two years.
