Rev. Thornell has started a con =
irmation class.
Mike Graetinger was here several
days last week looking after his farm
interests. He is located at Thief
River Falls.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Mowery were
here Sunday from Chokio on their
way to visit friends in Minneapolis.
They were making the trip by automo-
bile.
Quite a bunch from here took in
the dance at the E. W. Green farm
Saturday night. An orchestra from
Morris furnished the music. The
Greens have left the farm and are
now conducting the hotel at Chokio.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. P. Harlow re-
turned Saturday from a weeks visit
with friends in Minneapolis and other
points in Wisconsin. Since his re-
turn Mr.. Harlow has been on the
sick list with high temperature sew
eral days.
Gilbert Gulbranson, Johnny Eystad,
James and Edward SpaUlding have de-
cided the Great Northern railway
company must get along without their
services. They were employed with
the construction department for sew
eral weeks.
The fine weather which has pre-
vailed the past few days brought JOY
to farmers hereabouts who have been
delayed with their work. Corn cut
ting has begun and blowing has been
started in good shape. Many are TAX
ing advantage of the weather ard
have started repairing buildings.
Mrs. John Geib came up from Gay
lord last week and has spent several
days with friends. While here she
made arrangements to sell her house
and lot but the deal will not be COM
pleted till later. Carpenters who are
employed on the school manse have
taken the house and will occupy same
during the building operations.
Rain caused delay in building
operations at the teachers manse this
week. Contractors Billups & Majerus
expect to have the foundation com
pleted tomorrow night after which
the structural work will be started.
A large force of men will be put
on and the work rushed as fast as
possible while the weather permits.
Postmaster Schultz feels the big
game fever creeping over him slow
ly and there will be no peace or
rest till he has killed at least one
buck. Last year he missed the
chance to eat vension because he
couldn't spare the time IN the
northern woods. He is looking over
the routes this week and has about
decided to go north of Duluth where
game is reported plentiful.
On Thursday, October 5th, the first
entertainment will be given at the
school auditorium. 1t will be an ex-
elusive school program with the num-
bers furnished by the school and
faculty, and will include musical
features besides educational and comic
motion pictures. Admission will be
free for children and ten cents for
adults, the proceeds to be used to pur-
chase some victrola records.
1t is not too early to urge all
farmers to cut the weeds next to
the roadway. By doing this now or
soon, the roads will dry up better,
the weeds can be burned and the ap-
pearance of the farm will be greatly
improved. If the roads are we'll
cared for from now until the ground
freezes they will remain good all
winter, but if the weeds are left and
the road is neglected, look out for
rough roads, snow drifts and otner
road troubles.
Quite number of the young folks
from here attended the wedding of
Miss Emma Graber and Harry Groth
which took place at the home of the
brides parents Thursday afternoon
last week. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Paasche in the pre-
sence of only immediate relatives and
friends but large number of friends
gathered at the reception and dance in
the evening. The young couple will
make their home on a farm twelve
miles south of Alberta.
Prof. Grafelman and some members
of the board of education are again
invited to attend consolidation of
