spring, not lncluQlng Small grams,
other than grass and silage seed. Mr..
Madsen is one of the best boosters OF
our community and has helped it thru
these dry years thru encouragement
to our farmers and town people
Joe jacobson, our hustling butcher
has installed cream station in con-
nection with his shop. We firmly be-
lieve that this will be big boost for
our town, and also that Joe can pay
you as much for your cream as you
will get by shipping it. Money spent
at home stays at home and you will
see it again.
We were cut to see Frank Hensels
super herd of cattle the other day and
incidentally got some dope on the H:
C. l.. Frank tells US that he and
o. X. Spires ship about three hundred
gallons of milk daily to the county
Seattle Rapid Transit motor truck
line doing the hauling, and by the
way, wouldn't it help US to keep this
truck line going between cur village
and Minot, if we hand them a little
business now and then!
Early this spring several Burling-
ton stores and shops inaugurated
campaign on the Fly-and it pleases
us to note that this campaign has been
upheld by so many of our citizens.
Flies breed disease, flies carry dis
ease-each fly lays over million
eggs. Flies are useless. Flys about
house or store are inexcusable.
We had decided that last Sunday
would be held open for one semi-an..
nual church going, but we learned
that Rev. Christ had gone to Kenmare
to hold the pulpit there for that even
ing. We're Just a bit afraid that
there are more like US who go to
church twice year, whether we need
it or not. The church never hurt
any one and if we would only surprise
ourselves more often by attending we
would, beyond doubt feel better,
live better and have better commun-
ity. Let's 60!
Mrs. Delos Hunnawell of Donny-
brook visited relatives here the past
week.
We met "Sunny" Jim Falconer Of
the Independent, on the streets OF
Minot the other evening and tried to
induce him to come up to our town
and create little business on the side
and incidentally pass that smile
around to some of these grasshopper
boosters who hang crepe-you know
every town has them. But Jim
wouldn't come, personally-we be-
lieve that his wife won't let him.
Doctor Christie informs us to the
effect that from now on there is an
open season on potato bugs and has
4 a large supply of Paris green on hand.
The Doctor is another Of our boosters
and is active in the swat the fly cam
paign.
Paul Peterson and his crew Of car
penters have been in Foxholm for the
past week building an addition to the
Madsen & Bugge store at that place;
There have been several political
meetings held in our town Of late, but
as we haven't taken any active part
in politics since prohibition took ef-
4 feet, are unable to transcribe their
proceedings.
Miss Florence Miller underwent an
operation at Minot the past week
We are glad to hear that the young
LADY, is doing nicely. J.
The fine new residence of Louis
Grosshaus is nearly completed and the
family have moved in. Irwin Wallace
has been installing the electric wir-
i ing during last week. This fine new
residence adds greatly to the appear
ance Of that part Of town.
We received a letter a few days
ago from Alvin Miller, who is now
located at Slocum City, B. G. Alvin
left here recently for that place, hav-
ing been formerly employed in this
city by the G. "A. Bugge Co. He
1 states that the girls are few, tobacco
! is rotten, and that Burlington is home
also that he may return here this fall
| It's pretty hard to beat North Da.
4 kota yet, tho we may have to 60 tt
/ Russia soon, if we expect to lead 9
quiet life.
