ANGJJS BOOSTERS BREAK
ROADS TO CROOKSTON BY
WAY OF KING OF TRAILS.

With a view of making the roads
passable by auto for visitors to the
Crookston Farm Crops Show, party
Of sixteen, equipped with plenty Of man
power and shovels plus pep and push,
made the trip from Angus to Crookston
Sunday afternoon. One Mitchell and
three Overland cars carried%,the crew
which consisted Of the following per-
sons: Douglas Smelling, Everett Evans,
Dick Glover, Harry Sewill, Mr. and
Mrs. w. G. Oberg and little daughter
Karleen, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Petersen,
Forrest Oberg, Henry Orstrum, John
Staska Jr., Frank Staska, VIM. Wick
ner, Henry Iverson and Albert Joseph.
The trip was not without adventure
Douglas Smelling in his Overland ninety
as pathfinder, encountered many hard
bumps and deep snow. A picture was
snapped at Angus at the start and the
same camera took several pictures OF
snow shoveling scenes along the way.
a number of the party attended the
matinee of the movies and some decided
! ~ Fay over for the Farm Crops Show.
I me garage men at Crookston are still
wondering how these cars got through
and stated that cars from Crookston
that had made attempts to cross over
these roads had been obliged to return
and some had been hauled in.
The journey was made without any
accidents or mishaps and the crowd
was safely back to Angus at y p. M,
telling of the many narrow escapes and
wonderful feats of driving put over by
these modern Barney sOldfields Of the
Red River Valley.
no those who intend to travel by the
auto route to the Farm Crops Show, II
is recommended that they carry three
or four good men in each car and the
same number of shovels.

OlOf A. Eide Tells
How He Celebrated
Xmas In France
Autun, France, Dec. 25, 49,

Dear Folks: s..-s-.
Today, Xmas day, will try to write
you q few lines to let you know am
feeling fine and dandy, and hope all
Of you folks are the very same.
Well, for the first, must say "A
Merry Xmas to you all and hope you
are having happy one, too. We boys
are trying to make it the best we can.
We had breakfast at 9 o'clock this
morning and then we, or some of us,
went to the Y. M. @. A. to attend SER
vices. We got a little book called Xmas
Carols with six Xmas songs in it that
we sang from. 1t was present from
the "Y''. And this afternoon at 3
o'clock there will be Xmas tree there
and we were all invited to come and
get a. Xmas present. Well, after I had
been to services, and Carl Svenson, of
Newf0lden, and several others, went
out for walk, liked out of town to
the hills and walked to the top Of one
Of them and, believe me, that was some
walk. We left at II O'clock and just
come back now, 1:45 o'clock. We GER
tainly could see lot Of things up there
and so far also, and down at the foot
Of the hill it was nothing but springs,
water running in every direction. I
suppose you know France is noted for
it's springs of nice and clear water, be-
lieve me it's soft too, as the water in
the camp is soft also. : I have seen
buildings or old walls here, since the
Roman domination. 1t certainly is
wonderful to see for us boys that have
not seen anything like it. Well, when
I came back to the billet I wished I
could have reached into Mas pantry,
Ha, Ha. But, we are going to have a
swell dinner now soon, so I'll came back
after I had it.
4:45 o'clock. Well, here I am again.
Had swell dinner. I'll tell you what
we had: piece of turkey, meat, pota-
toes, dressing, gravy, bread, and also
cake and coffee, one big bar of candy
and one cigarette. Now, was not that
a swell dinner? You ought to see all
the glad faces and smiles We all were
happy and feel perfectly satisfied. And
we tried to show our Mess Sergeant
the same. and he was very glad to see
us boys satisfied. Well, when we had
our dinner we got into line as we did
for Gi1liIel and went into the Y. M. G.
A.. where the Xmas tree was and they
had it decorated very nice. The tree
was not very big, but it sure was fine.
Well, here we got two bars of chocolate
candy, one. package Of gum, one cigar,
two packages of cigarretts. Most OF
this stuff was in boxes, but not all
they did not have enough boxes so they
gave it to us loose. But on the boxes
was inscribed "A Merry Xmas from
the Folks at Home"
Well, hope you folks had good
Xmas too, but I wished I could have
been with you last night for supper.
!, suppose you had Ludefsk, etc. And
then another thing on the good old farm
which we all have been working so HARD
to get ready to live on is contentment
am sure you all feel perfectly salts
| fed, am sure would. Well, dear
folks, suppose you think because
am, or, we are, so far away from home
that we don't think of you folks al
home now. Well, I am sure there
wasn't boy here unless he thought Of
his folks last night and today, an(

Warren High
Trims Argyle

The Warren High School boys bas-
ket ball team last Thursday night con-
tinued it's winning streak. This time
Argyle were the victims, and the War
ren boys sure did show no mercy to-
ward the visitors. The Argyle quint
must be given credit for the eight
they showed throughout the game, as
they were full of pep up till the very
last minute of play. The Warren team
was never in danger of losing the
game as the brilliant work Of the team
as whole, and especially SO Of the
guards, Elmer Lindstrand and Hunter
Quistgard, who guarded the opposing
team so closely that they were unable
to connect with the basket for even one
field goal. Argyle made its six points
by free throws, which were thrown by
Dundas. The Warren Quint succeeded
in piling up 40 points.
