EImdale Items

Quite a number has asked me
about my items so let me ex.
)lain. EImdaIe school house is
near MIR. Meecbs Wnen we had
). S. We wanted a name for the
'chool so we took a vote and
Elmdale carried. Sleepy Hol-
ow is the hollow east by Mr..
Nelson, and includes Rowes,
5entons, etc. l supposed they
FAMED it that, because the sun
!oesn't shine until l to 2 hours
alter then in other places and l
suppose they had to sleep so
much longer. Gooseberry Hol-
low is near Elmdale and has so
many Gooseberries and every
one helped themselves.
Mrs. c. H. Cox and son from
Louis City Iowa, visited the
home folks, Grandma Cox for
. week. Had splendid time.
1t is one of the mysteries how
chat fire that burnt Mr.. O'Con-
nors barn got started, also how
4 great big Thomas cat got
down my we'll.
My wife, daughter and l took
trip most to Magnolia to visit
che new married couple, Julius
Keeney and wife. Quite a
number of fields of corn was
,lanted late probably planted
over. 1t will make corn l guess.
Small grain looks we'll. One
thing that struck me was no
body from Calhoun to most
to Magnolia W ,rks the roads.
The road is to narrow for auto
mobile and buggy to pass and
water has made ruts in the
hills then one cuts the bushes
along the roads. If the brush
was cut and kept sprouted one
could see an auto coming and
would root so as to widen the
road some time.
Don't forget that there will
be preaching at the Elmdale
school house next Sunday 3p.
N. by Rev. Dack.
Next week raspberries will
be on the market. Quite q
supply.
When they had the Carnival
here some of the aged sisters
thought they would ride on the
merry -go-round. They had one
box called the lovers tub.
When two young lovers get in
to that it is nice for both. She
iidn't like to ride on the
horses that GOES up and down
so she g It in the tub. My what
different feeling came over
that sister. 1t was too great,
she got sick and rest were
pleased.
One man told me we would
nave a cold wet time because
the moon said so. | don't see
much wet now. 1t looks like it
lid last year at this time.
Can't we have some attrac-
lions at the Fourth. such as
send up a balloon. Our friend
Jol. Byers said he would run

Mondan1in Items

Farmers are all busy in the
fields these days, and town.
therefore is a very quiet place.
Magnolia Boosters were here
Tuesday, fifty-seven strong.
They came in autos with band
and usual Accomplishments.
j. P. Garner and family, went
down to Co. Bluffs Monday, t.
attend the funeral services of
Theo. Garner, a son of Geo Gar

from a train of cars on which
he was brakeman. The accident
took place in Cal.
The Childrens Day exercises

evening was quite interesting.
Ira Gilmore of mail route No.

Leonard Pearey had the flesh
of his shoulder torn from the

tree.
c. P. Whittier had an arm
broken by the jerking of a
horse he was leading.
The Mo. River is still taking
toll of many fine farms along

valuable 80 acres.
E. l. Littlefield of Co. Bluffs,
if working here this week in
the interest of the M. w. of A
Geo. Thompson sent some
fine fat cattle to market this
week.
There may be too many
stores in your town, but if so,
there is no way in which the
identity Of the surplus stores
can be determined and no legal
method of putting them out Of
business. Instead of wasting
valuable time and energy in a
fruitIess discussion of this ques-
ton, the better thing to dois to
join hands in a united effort to
make your town a better mar
ket town and thus increase its
volume of trade. If your town
were able to secure all trade
now leaving your community
and going to eastern cities
there would be enough add
tional business secured to keeI
all the stores reasonably busy
