STRANDQUIST.
The English Lutheran Ladies'

The English Lutheran Ladies' Aid
met at VIM. Books last Sunday.
The West Valley-Lincoln. auction sale
held here the oath of May for the Red
Cross, was very successful one, and
tho it rained and roads were poor, peo-
pie from the different townships met
at the school house in Strandquist.
They did not come empty handed, as
each family brought something to be
sold, in order to raise the quotas for
the two townships. At $50 am. the
audience had the pleasure Of listening
to speech made by Julius J. Olson,
of Warren, for which the community is
very thankful to the speaker for his
Kindness in coming up from Warren
over such roads to help the good cause
along. At noon came the sale Of dinner
and later during the afternoon lunch
was served. Mr.. Moen, from Karlstad,
showed his skill as auctioneer and
made things soar up in price, The net
receipts of sale and lunch were $575.27,
and was distributed as follows: Lin
coin allotment, $4,000; West Valley
allotment, $4,000. The balance was
added to the West Valley-Lincoln Red
Cross Auxiliary Fund and amounted to
$45.27. Later donations from parties
in West Valley has added $3.50 and
Lincoln $3.50, but there are many more
to be received from in Lincoln who
were not present at the sale. Total re-
ceipts to date are $592,27, for which |
we have to great extent the ability
OF Mr.. MOen to thank for as he was
able to make the price of the turkey
come up to $4,000 to say nothing about |
the sales of larger things. Who can
can beat him?
