The fifth number on the lecture
course appeared here last Friday
evening. They were the Merry Mu-
steal Maids. They rendered a very
beautiful program to a large audi
ence. The people were well pleased.
The large audience was largely due
to the effective work of John Comp
ton as advertising manager. People
cannot resist when John gets busy.
Clifford Harris, the son OF P. M.
Harris, is Employed as assistant at
the bank. Clifford is a bright clean
and industrious young man and is
sure to make good.
Last Saturday evening a sleigh
load of friends of Mr.. and Mrs. r. c.
Dalton drove over from North Man
kato arriving about seven o'clock and
spending the evening. The following
members constituted the party, Mr..
and Mrs. A. Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. R. Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Carlstrom, Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Stew
art and Professor and Mrs. Prior.
Francis Jackson is spending a few
weeks with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
O. F. Jackson. He is planning on
fitting out little shop and doing some
jewelry work He has considerable
experience with the work of this
kind and will doubtless get quite a
little of this work to do here.
A large crowd of young people
went to the farm home of Harold An
derson last Saturday evening. They
all enjoyed themselves immensely
and all returned convinced that Mr..
and Mrs. Anderson were good enter
tanners. This get-together spirit is
taking hold of the people Of Eagle
Lake and vicinity. 1t is this spirit
that is making Eagle Lake such a
good town to live in.
| Don't forget the dance Friday night.
The social event of the season. The

What do men do for a place to sit or
Monday?
What do men do for place to spit or
Monday?
Forlorn and sad, where'er they roam
They care not whit for Home Swee
Home on Monday.
Now if these men would learn to kni
They then would have place to sit
And maybe too, place to spit OF
Monday.
