ternoon was spent in a social visit.
C. M. Bagstad "has the threshers"
today which is the signal for a dim
inishing of the chicken and water
melon supply at the Bagstad farm.
Louis Hoyer is in charge of the crew.
George Mcclellan came over from

still here but expect to leave for the
Forks as soon as a suitable house can
be secured.
Mrs. Henry Zimmerman has suff-
cred indescribable tortures several
days this week when an liberated
tooth made life hideous. Monday
she sought the aid of DR.. Game
at Morris who found way to
render relief.
An ice shortage is feared in AL
berta and some of those who have a
small amount on hand are conserving
the supply. Eleven cakes were
shipped in from Morris Monday morn
ing and more will have to come if the
warm weather continues.
Mrs. J. A. Schultz was among

Labor Day passed off quietly in AL
berta with no special observance. The
bank, schools and postofice were
closed but Postmaster Schultz kindly
consented to cancel his privilege of
closing the office all day. There are
no labor unions in Alberta and this
accounts for the fact that no demon
STATIONS were held.

hours at Graceville the Alberta party
continued their trip to Beardsley.
Ben Marty has invested in an SIG
Mogul tractor with which he will do
his fall blowing. He ATTENDED the
tractor demonstration here a couple
of weeks ago and was impressed with
the tractor possibilities. "The horse
is bidding a slow and sad farewell
as the human mind develops new
mechanical devises and it won't be
long before old Dobbyn is ranged
alongside the unicorn and mastodon in
the museums,'' thinks Mr.. Marty.
