ALBERTA NEW

Hardtimes dance by Walter Trip
Post at the armory in Morris on
Thursday, January %. adv.
A. H. Helsper closed his barber shop
last Saturday evening and we learn that
he was married Wednesday morning to
Miss Katherine Ritter at Chokio. Full
details are not Obtainable at this time
but we all join in wishing the happy
couple a joyous matrimonial voyage
| thOrugh life that their future may be
as bright as the glittering star shining
from above.
At a special meeting of the CONNER
! cial Club last Thursday evening plans
were laid for the organization of a loan
and building association in Alberta. This
is one of the Wisest moves made by the
club in some time as the scarcity of
desirable living rooms in Alberta has
| become acute and if We wish the town
/ to progress some arran cement must be
made to accommodate the demand for
additional dwellings,.
+ The young folks have dances galore.
The married folks are beginning to in
dulge considerably but what is to be-
come of our old maids and bachelors
| They are also human although they may
not be entangled with apron strings or
doomed to washing dishes and mending
clothes the rest of their natural lives.
! If it were not for the sorrowful fact
! that we are so few in number we would
just show them how to have a real
! time" Some towns have already or
ganiZe a bachelors union. Nothing like
! the League of Nations but real bach
elOrs union" age limits 80 to 40. No
one above 40 being eligiabie as bachelors
after that age are supposed to become
mentally unbalanced in many ways so
as to be a real menace to themselves
and everyone with whom they may have
any social dealings.
| V. F. Orth returned from the cities
| Wednesday morning.
The first real matched game of basket
! ball of the season was played in Braun's
| hall last Friday evening between the
Cyrus boys and girls teams and the
Alberta boys and girls teams, Alberta
/ winning both games, the boys score be-
ing II to in favor of Alberta and the
! girls game 16 to 10 in favor of the
home team. Both teams showed re-
markable skill and talent the games be-
! ing closely contested from start to finish.
The Alberta teams go to Cyrus this Fri
day evening to play a return game.
Let's CO. and show the boys and girls
both that We are for them" and that
we rejoice at their victories and share
their sorrow should they go down with
defeat. We have those same two
bones" left over from the last game to
bet on Alberta, Who wants them?"
Miss Hazel Eystad visited with the
Misses Hamiltons Sunday afternoon.
! V. F. Ortiz spent few days the first
of the week in the Twin Cities and other
points in eastern Minnesota. During his
absence the Equity Elevator was under
! the mana cement of Wesley Ernst who
with but short experience proves him
self highly efficient in the grain bust

residents of the village answered the
final summons to the home on high
last Friday afternoon at about half
past two and altho all the children

ACRE CORN CONTEST
WON BY ALBERTA BOY
Glen Plocker and 0rrie Reed of
Hancock Awarded First Two
Prizes for Club Work

The first prize in the Boys Acre
Corn contest has been won by Glen
Plocker of Alberta, with Orrie Reed
of Hancock coming out second in the
race.
The club which was begun last
spring contained, originally, twenty
four members, but only fourteen COM
pleted the work. Each boy raised
his own acre of corn, and exhibited
a ftfty-ear sample Of his crop at the
county fair. The samples were tested
and each boy given a score. Glen
PlOcker received a score of 95, and
Orrie Reed of 80.
The yields in the fields were next
taken into account, and the acres of
Reed and Plocker again showed up
as the two best. Their records we're
inverted here, however, for while
Reeds field yielded II Il bushels per
acre at 80 pounds per bushel field
His downfall here was due to a great
extent to cut-worms which had seri-
ously damaged his crop.
Each of the fourteen boys who eX-
hibited at the fair was required to
hand in a story and report of his
work to Mr. Bridgeport of the Agri-
cultural School, The decisions made
were based on the score card made
out at the fair, on the yield per acre,
and on the written reports.
The final checking up of the boys
shows the following results:
