Prof. A. P. Hollis of the College
Extension service of the Agricultural
College delivered his illustrated lee
ture on "What Can We Do for Our
Farmer Boys?" at the opera house
Wednesday evening. In spite of the
downpour of rain a good sized audi
ence greeted the professor and for
two hours he discussed the various
phases of his subject in an entertain
ing and convincing manner, ilustrat-
ing his remarks with slides that were
pertinent to his remarks.
The ladies of the Women's Club
rendered two vocal selections that
were greatly appreciated and came in
for some very pleasing compliments
by Mr.. Hollis.
Everyone was pleased with the lee

have Prof. Hollis with us to deliver

tune. -.

Bugge & Co., returned Friday from
a business trip through eastern Mon

west of Westby.
Raymond has the promise of being
made division point and no doubt

his firm to establish mercantile houses
at various points that give promise of
having future.
