Mrs. Hannah Dryer, of Glenwood,
is here for short visit at the Henry
Lemmermann home.
Mrs. John Hamilton will enter
tain the Ladies Club at her home
next Thursday. Refreshments will
be served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Gulbranson are
expected home tomorrow from Peever,
S. D., where they have visited rela-
tiVes and friends since last week.
A social hop at the Star theatre
Saturday night gave the young folks
an opportunity to try some of the
new steps. Because of bad country
roads the attendance from the country
was small.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Stewart are pre-
pairing to leave for their new home at
Morris. Alberta people in general
regret their departure for the Stewards
will be missed from the social circle
this winter.
Messrs. Morley and Trip, of Nor
ris, were here Wednesday morning.
Mr. Trip came to interview a pros
pectiye auto purchaser and Mr.. Nor
ley looked over business at the Geib-
Carl lumber yards.
Gilbert Gulbranson, George De-
Young, Jack Spaulding and Theodore
Rentz have become railroad men and
are now members of crew which
will have charge of the snow fences
and bridges on the Browns Valley
line.
George Ginnow is home from a
pleasant visit at the home of his I'M
Gle at Glenwood. While there he
made several fine bass and pike
catches and says he would give good
deal to have a lake like Minnewaska
near his farm.
Mrs. W. T. Peterson served de-
lightful chicken supper to number
of her friends Sunday evening. The
honor guests were Miss Ida Jallo,
of Odessa, who was here in charge
of the state bank for week, and
Miss Hazel Gulbranson.
L. M. Larson and family have end
ed their lake visit and returned to
Alberta yesterday. The season was
long and delightful this year and the
visit at the lake would have been ex-
tended if the school opening had
been set for later date.
Johnny Eystad has left the grocery
counter and is now an oiler with the
Gorder threshing outfit. He had two
days rest this week because of the
rain but resumed operations yester-
day. He states the run will be very
short this year, and that the grain is
running on low yields.
Edward Eystad sends word from
North Dakota that he expects to re-
turn to Alberta shortly. He went to
the Flickertail state some weeks ago
in search of suitable employment but
finds the state hard hit by the present
crop failures. Eystad was employed
in the bank here and his friends will
be pleased to have HIM here again.
Rye and barley threshing was COM
menced here last week and while a
small yield was expected the returns
show both disappointments and sur
prises. On an average the crop will
be better than estimated. Wheat
will be put through the machine today
and tomorrow and threshermen say
they can finish the run hereabouts in
less than thirty days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grafelman have ended
their outing at the lake. Mrs. Grafel-
man contracted a severe attack of ton
silitis and quincy together with a pc
culiar poison which had broken out on
all parts of the body necessitating her
removal home where she has received
medical attention. Her condition was
greatly improved yesterday. Miss
Bengtson is the nurse employed on
the case.
Signs of cary fall are multiplying.
The rats have begun building their
nests in the sloughs and old timers
who base their weather predictions on
