Paul f. Clark and wife of Moose
Lake, cousins of j. A. Anderson,
spent last week visiting at the home
of the latter.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Detamore of

R. Farmer. Mr.. Farmer is in the
aviation department of the United
States army.
A. H. Pressnall, the Joe Cannon
of Eagle Lake, has potatoes in his
garden that will be large enough to
eat in a few days.
Eagle Lake had an entertainment
last Saturday evening that was a
treat indeed. 1t was a home talent
play put on by the young people of
the Sugar Grove school district rn-
der the very efficient management
of Miss Lora Moeri Miss Moeri
has taught in that district for the
past four OF five years Too much
cannot be said in praise of the lit
tie play Safety First" which the
young folks presented. Every play
er did their part well, each one be-
ing at ease and familiar with their
lines. The program lasted for over
two hours and the hall was much
too small to accommodate the crowd.
1t should also be borne in mind that
the, young people who had spent a
great deal of time and energy in get
ting this program ready gave their
services free, giving the entire pro-
ceeds to the Eagle Lake chapter of
the Red Cross. The ticket sale
amounted to about $70 The people
OF Eagle Lake are very grateful to
the Sugar Grove community for this
courtesy
Through the efforts of Mrs. Kate
COOK, service flag for Eagle Lake
IS being made. This is a. splendid
move and one that has been too long
deferred. Money is also being raised
to purchase a flag for the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Efforts are being made to secure
a pastor for the local church for fbe
