ALBERTA NEW S

silence excepting ScnoOl news SO many
things have happened it's even hard to
tell where to begin. An overf1ood Of
business of all kinds seem to have been
in existence which was the direct cause
for no Alberta items adorning the valu-
able columns of the Tribune for some
time.
The first Lyceum course entertain
ment was given last week by DR.. Burns

the first time to arrange for series of
educational and instructive entertain
ments of this kind to be held here.
A daughter Of Mrs. Bangerter from
Valley City, N. D., is visiting at the
Bangerter home this week.

fires burning this winter"

Alberta has now joined the Otter Tail

City last week where she will visit with
friends for several weeks and may de-
eide to remain there all winter.
Now that electrical current is abund-
ant we would like to know when that
"show" will be put on. Alberta should
have a motion picture play at least two
nights each week. AS it is quite num-
Der of Albertaites attend in neighboring
towns when they would much rather
patronize home industry. When is it
going to be Bill?
