Eleven young sports connected with

or. The purpose of the visit was to

Albert Stangor has hoisted a new
sign over the office desk at the lum-
Der yards. 1t bears the legend: "CoaI
is Cash." all of which brings home
the realization that winter is near and
the summer wages flown.
E. r. Sander is recovering slowly

The flight of time is bringing joy
to F. L. Spaulding. Saturday he was
appraised of the fact that he must as
sumo the additional responsibilities of
grandpa for the ninth time. This
time it was a boy at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Roy Brown near Chokio.
Mr.. Spaulding is arranging for an
early visit to the Brown home to be
properly presented to most prom
ising future citizen.
That crop conditions on the Browns
Valley Morris line hits the Great
Northern seriously is demonstrated
when it became known that last year
up to this time sixty cars of grain has
been shipped from points between
Alberta and Morris but this year only
fifteen have gone out. Unless the
movement in grain is increased with
in the next month there will be no
need of the Great Northern fearing a
car storage for the branch line after
Christmas.
Clyde Roberts disappeared from
home early Monday morning and

house at noon striking his bread bas-

which could be suppressed only by
a vigorous attack upon the Roberts
commissary, windows and doors were
hastily closed. Investigations proved
that the stranger was Mr.. Roberts
himself and that he had unloaded
three cars of soft coal during his alb
sence. Precipitation and coal dust had
wrought wondrous change in his
otherwise peaches and cream COM
plexion, and when the matter was
explained prodigal papa was admit
ted to full membership in good
standing with the family circle.
The question of guns, game and
craftsmanship has furnished much dis
