What shall the harvest be? We
don't say anything around here, but if
you want definite information ask
someone who has Investigated this
neig hborhood lately, c. S. and M. M.

Did someone say that Mrs. Stacy
was at Colburn's -? Oh, yes, and her
pleasant face has been noticed in sew
eral of our gatherings lately.
Conundrum-why do the flock of
chickens follow Il. W. Beighle into the
barn every time he goes there? Well
fed or hungry? And while we are on
the subject of chickens why not turn
| them into the fields to feed on grass
hoppers, which are very plentiful in
some fields, convert the grasshoppers
into eggs which are SOC per dozen.

Elizabeth Weren't you and Irene up
there just last week?
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Tuller entertain
ed the neighborhood to a Fourth of
July picnic. Everything went off fine
and from the speed indicated on that
day, the wind is possibly still on it's
way somewhere. Fred has sold his
farm to II. O. Dalen and expects to
move about the first Of August to near
Greenbay, Wis, and start up anew in
country where his cows can always
have plenty of clover. Best wishes to
you, Fred, but don't shed many tears
for US poor fellows who remain here.
We understand Chas. Muzzy has al
so sold his farm. Says he don't know
where he is going but will soon be on
the way. Well, wherever you 60,
Charlie, we know that that neighbor-
hood will have staunch fellow for
the league.

says it is hard to decide where to go,
but thinks Iowa will suit him for a

The special service was the dedca-
ton of Service Flag This was in
charge of the Volunteers. Twelve blue

eyes were moist. a,
The Congregational Ladies' Aid met

Everett Bunker's, except Lucille and
Ruth, are on their way from Illinois.
When last heard from they were
somewhere in Iowa, but the Ford was
hitting on only three cylinders, mud
flying from the wheels, the fan belt
gone, water dripping from the cover,
Everett's face all mud, his hands all
over grease, his shoes off, cap in his
seat beside him, and look in his eye
would seem to say, If I ever get out
of this mud I'll stay in North Dakota. "
P. S.: Our wireless has since gone out
of commission, so we can hope to pick
up no more news until we hear ia
miliar Ford toot at the front gate.
