nesday afternoon to complete her
term at the Valley City Normal.
It is not often in this country
that a man can work outside in
his shirt sleeves during the first
of January, but such was the case
here on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Miss Mabel VAIL did not re-

Hilda did. Miss Mabel is not in

her mother so she decided to stay
at home the balance of the year.

Tuesday night. The parents

them to settle down to do the
work that will be required Of
them.

has been q great help to this

is fast progressing. At present
there are between 30 and 40 men
working at rock laying.

that ice should be shipped from

there will not be an ice famine
