lures.
The. McLaren children came over
from Browns Valley Monday to spend
a few days with friends. Mr.. Nc
Laren is managing a grain elevator
at the valley where he has resided
since leaving here.
Miss Eva DeYoung came home
from Morris Saturday and will remain
for some time. Miss DeYoung is one
of the popular young ladies of the
village and the news of her intentions
will be received with pleasure in To-
cal social circles.
Claude Morse has taken contract
to change the exterior appearance of
the postoffice. Armed with a brush
and can Of paint Claude mounted the
ladders this week but gives no assur-
ance when the job will be finished.
The first coat was put on last fall.

Mrs. H. P. Harlow entertained
about fifty of the young people Satur-
day evening from to IL at a party
dance for her neice, Miss Frances
Freisheim, who, together with her
sister, Mrs. Henry Kreofski, has been
here for a visit. The program was
enjoyed by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Erickson are
expected here this week from St. Paul
to spend a few days at the B. P.
Harlow farm. Mrs. Erickson is a
sister of Mrs. Harlow who looks for
ward to the visit with keen delight.

if the roads and weather permit.
Mrs. Henry Kreofski and Miss
Frances Freisheim returned to their
homes at Elgin, Mimi, the first of
the week after a pleasant visit at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. P.
Harlow. While here the visitors
met many Alberta people and saw
much of the country hereabouts.
Mike Graettinger assures the Tri-
bune that he is still on the list OF
Alberta Benedicts. There isn't finer
boy in Alberta but the conditions he
imposes under which he may be led to
the matrimonial altar are liable to
leave him in the ranks of the discards
when leap year fades. Taper fingers
are not popular with Mike. He has a
massive circlet of gold laid away for
the happy day but the hand that will
wear it must have lunch prongs large
enough to fill No. 10 glove.
Tom Hoslin was angry all the way
through Monday morning when he dis
covered that about every window in
the Cargill elevator had been smashed
Saturday evening or Sunday. Tom was
made manager of the elevator about
two months ago and all has been GO

the young fellows began bombarding
the windows of the grain house with
stones. One of the boys came in with
in admission of completely but denied
having any knowledge regarding who
broke the rest of the windows. eft
l can find out who did the work I'm
going to prosecute declared Mr..
Hoslin.
That the people around here are
wearing shoes was proven Monday
when J. A. Weinand took an inven-
tory of sales since Jan. 81, at which
time he opened a shoe department
for a speciality house which sells
directly to the consumer. Assisted
by representative of the firm Mr.
Weinand checked out sales amounting
to 1900. LIT figures up about foul
pairs day on an average" said Mr.
Weinand, "but have sold as high as
ten pairs and on others days didn't
make sale because of weather con
ditions. Just now farmers arount
here are not overly optimistic abou
crop conditions but business is fairly
good"
