Talk about your swift farmers,

grain cut, ground plbwed, har-
rowed and seeded-second crop
all up already that's going
some as they say.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Doyle left
us last Saturday for a summer
sojourn in sunny California. They
expected to motor down but the
trouble of getting juice for the
machine spoiled a delightful trip.
SO they went by train.
We are much pleased to chron-
icle the fact that B. j. Fjeldal
(Bert) has been helping Mr.. Hunt
in berry picking. After five or
six weeks flat OH hospital bed
it is no little satisfaction to you
to be able to do something.

at the work. Well, that's some

er from the w. G. Doyle plant.
Talk about the dreadful wash day,

the Lark, while the SWISH -swash |
goes merrily on.
Our new dock is finished, a new

painted white-wouldn t that jar
sou2 We have something to be
proud of now. Some have suggest
ID how fine it would be for a nice
lance or some sort of a celcbra-
ion Of the occasion one Of these
moonlight nights.
Mr.. Axel Petersen reports he is
quite satisfied with the business
