MORE FARMERS TO CANADA

Chris Christensen. Ed Andersen,
G. Andersen, Marsh Hansen and
Karl Wilbert composed a company of
Audubon young farmers VINO accom-
panied c. H. Topping to Standard,
Alberta Canada Monday evening. Mr..
Topping is the colonization agent for
the Canadian Pacific Railway and
for almost a year has been in this
county working with Hans Hansen in
interesting the Danish people in a
new Danish settlement that is being
established there. Last fall about a
hundred of our best farmers bought
land in that locality and Wednesday
evening a large emigrant train left
over the Northwestern taking the
farmers to their new homes. No
doubt the five young men will find
attractive bargains and will invest in
Canada land which is being offered
in most attractive way.

THE MEN PROVED RIGHT
ROYAL. ENTERTAINERS

by The Brother-in Laws" That
was the legend appearing on the Feb
ruary social Calendar OF the Wamens
Club when it came from the press
last October and there was much
curiosity among the club mem
bers as to the personality of the com
mittee and their ability and willing
ness to make good. But all doubt, if
any existed on that point, was dis
PEELED. for those who participated in
the very pleasing entertainment given
by the committee of twenty capable
men selected from the honorary mem
bers of the Club for the honor of Civ
ing the first function of the kind in
the Clubs history.
To say the ladies enjoyed the even
ing is putting it mildly. Everyone
expressed themselves as having had
the time of their lives" II was such
joy to be served instead of serving
and with no responsibility for even
small part of the festivities. they
could appreciate all that went to-
gether to make things pleasant.
The program consisted of games
and music by an Atlantic orchestra
with a number of well rendered solos
by Miss Cramer, of Atlantic. Elabor
ate refreshments were served. A num-
Der of well known business men wore
becoming caps and aprons and served
at the improvised buffet while others
were busily engaged in the kitchen.
They all seemed so handy at their
tasks that one was easily persuaded
TO believe that their early education
in this line had not been althoge-
Their neglected.
Among the familiar faces under the
paper caps were A. c. Harmon,
Richard Owen, c. II. Wilde, Charles
Johnson, ~ G. Barentson and a.
dozen others who names we failed
to get.
The Club ladies are hoping that
such a party as this will become an
annual feature. and promise to re-
peat the vote of thanks that was tend
cred to the men by Mrs John Wagner
on behalf of he Club
The next social meeting of the Club
will be held at the X p. hall st.

members and friends are cordially in
yited

reading our last two ads. There isn't
much to tell except that for spring the
promise is that sport colors COM
binations will be more popular than
ever. In this event many ladies and
especially the younger ladies and
girls disregard the color combinations
given in our last two ads and wear
the sports combination that appeals
to them most. These combinations
are sometimes bold but their very
boldness make them beautiful

"Kickers Meeting" at the council
chamber last Friday. This was in
compliance with the law, where prop
erty owners are given the privilege of
rendering objections to proposed
public improvements. In this in
stance it was on the matter of paving
40 additional blocks. Quite a num-
her of property owners awaited them
selves of the opportunity to enter
their objection. However. after Civ
ing the objection consideration, the
city council overruled the objection
by passing resolution to that effect.
At the next meeting of the city
council it is expected that date will
be set when bids for the proposed
paving will be received

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
CHANGE is MADE
Old Established Furniture Firm
Changes Ownership and New
Proprietors are Now in


\. C. Harmon. who for nine years
has been conducting furniture and
undertaking establishment in this
city. sold his business interest 10 Hans
j. Johnson of this city and George
Gore. OF Extra The task of invoic-
ing the stock was completed Tues
day and today the new owners are
in full possession.
Hans Johnson. was born and raised
in this immediate ighborhood. and
since reaching young manhood has
been connected with the business life
of the county. For many years he
conducted the large department store
at Hamlin. later conducting grocery
store in Audubon. He is so well
and favorably known in all sections
of the county that is seems super
flous for US TO elaborate on his bust
ness ability. Mr.. Gore. while COM
paratiye stranger in Audubon. has
wide acquaintance in the south part
of the county. For several years
past he has had charge of the under
taking work in Extra. and last fall
established an exclusive undertaking
business in that town for himself. He
has state license and when he took
the state board examination he was
the most proficient man in a class of
almost a hundred. AIR Cores work
at Extra and Perry has been COM
mendable and his coming TO Audubon
Will mean much for the new firm
AS soon as he can close up his bust
ness affairs in Extra he and his es-
Unable family will become per-
manent residents here.
Mr.. Harmon has lived i'm and
around Audubon for SO years and is
what might be called one OF the old
residenters. He has made a wonder
full record in the business that he has
just disposed of. He was always
dependable and highly proficient in
his service. Ii is with much regret
that we learn of his intention to
leave Audubon. He has long had
desire to engage in the exclusive
undertaking business and this he
will do in some neighboring city. Mrs.
Harmon has been prominently con-
nected with the social affairs of the
city and both of them will be greatly
missed in the community. The
family will remain here until after
the close of school in June when their
son Harold completes his course of
study. A progressive business man
like Mr.. Harmon will be welcomed
in any community and no matter
where they cas-: their lot. they will
be received with open arms. That
they may Ind pleasure and profit in
their new location, wherever that may
be, is the sincere wish of all who
know them.
