Roberts Live Stock
Club Is Organized

A number of progressive farmers
in the town of Warren have organ
lied club that will be known as
the Roberts Live Stock Improve
ment Club. The purpose of this
organization is to improve the live
stock in the town of Warren by
eliminating the scrub and grade
bulls and placing a pure-bred bull
OF good breeding on every farm in
the township. All persons who are
interested in improving the live
stock in the town may become
members of this club. At a meet
ing held recently A. E. Hafer was
elected president, and J. M. Ham
mer was elected secretary and treas
urer. Co. Agent T. M. Olson was
present and gave an address on the
live stock situation in st. Croix
County. The officers of the club
were instructed to visit the twenty
six grade bull owners and the two
scrub bull owners of the town to in
duce them to buy pure-bred bulls.
Watch the town of Warren become
one hundred percent pure-bred.-

Oak Grove Held
Dedication Sunday

Sunday, Aug. 10, proved to be a
red letter day for the st. John S
Evang Church in Oak Grove. Their
new $4,000 parsonage was dedicated
with a beautiful ceremony and in
spring address.
The program was in charge Of the
pastor, Rev. VIM. Diehl who also
gave a most excellent sermon.
The morning address was given
by Rev. w. Witt of St. Paul, Rev.
Robert Scharze Of Ellsworth gave
the address of the afternoon. Short
talks were given by Mayor Howes
OF Prescott and Rev. Hoffman of the
congregational church of Prescott.
The whole day was grand success
and one of much inspiration. The
Ladies Aid Society served dinner to
$50 people.
We can not refrain from con-
graduating the enterprising con-
gregation, who without any outside
help, have built this beautiful home
for their pastor. The Ladies Aid
donated $3.50 to the Building Fund
on the new parsonage; the total
receipts all told for Sunday were
S5lO. On the total cost of 81 900
only 1857 remained unpaid Sunday
and we understand this will be met
by next Sunday.
After the dedication services a
photo was taken by Jos. Baker of
the new parsonage and the crowd.
The house is modern in every re-
spect, even wired for electric lights,
for future use and has full base
ment under it, eight rooms and bath
compose the housing part. Chas.
Lewis of Prescott was the contract

Discharges Registered Free.

Register of Deeds Fred Magee cal
led us up Saturday to inform us that
there is now no charge made for the
registration of discharge certificates :
the SOC fee is. no longer required. We
strongly recommend that every soldier
and sailor who has not already done
so send his discharge certificate OFT
to the Register of Deeds at once ard
have it recorded. Then there need be
no further anxiety about losing or de-
stroying it. A record of that dis
charge may come in mighty handy
upon several future occasions.

SECOND BANK AT ELMWOOD

It is settled fact that Elmwood is
to have another bank, which will be
called The Peoples State Bank. Notice
IS out for the first meeting of the stock
holders, and no doubt the proposition
will be pushed through in a hurry.
Clarence Layne, of Durand. was in
the village Wednesday and will be the
cashier. Mr.. Layne has had a great
deal OF experience in banking circles
and is hustling, clean-cut fellow with
splendid reputation. No doubt he
will be strong man for the new bank.

Letter From Post Adjt. Lyksett-
| was glad to learn of the World
War Veterans Column in your paper
and grateful for the invitation to con-
tribute as it gives me an opportunity
to greet, if indirectly, many Of the
boys who volunteered with our CO. at
Hudson and went through both the
Mexican Border and overseas service.
We have organized a Post of the
American Legion at Hudson AMI nam
ed it in honor of our gritty little Cap
tain who made the supreme sacrifice
at st. Meihel. The "Otis H. King
Post now has membership Of about
$50, and more to sign up as soon as we
get in touch with them, for of course
we are all glad to have the chance to
organize and preserve the memories
and Incidents of our associations in
the great war;" Except the disagree
able memories) and more so to foster
and perpetuate one hundred per cent
Americanism," to quote the preamble.
We hope to see Post organized at
River Falls. Fifteen members are all
that are necessary in order to secure
charter.
Just now we,. and of course all of our
friends are very much interested in
the passage of the Soldiers Bonus law
which comes up for vote of TIE peo-
pie September End, and its up to each
one of US to get out and hustle as we
understand that there is some opposi-
ton to it. Here's hoping it goes thru
and that our state falls into line and
does what SO many of the other states
are doing and have done. Anyone not
wanting this token of appreciation"
may "fall out" Let's go!
