While riding in an automobile on

After auditing the bills incurred
during the Fourth of July celebration
the Alberta commercial club and the
band discover they have each STA in

Rev. Gammelien was in town Mon

loss of about fifty chickens which were
stolen from his coop one night last
week. Only the Gammelien girls were
