B. C. Wilson, Oscar Olson and
Adolph Jensen spent a few days in
Minneapolis last week for the purpose
of examining the McAdam linen GIN
ming machine in operation. The gen.
tlemen were very favorably impressed
with the excellence of the machine, and
have no doubt as to it's ability to do all
that is claimed for it. To finance the
establishment of linen ginning plant
in Edgerton seems feasible just as soon
as sufficient number of farmers come
forward to sign contracts to furnish
the fax for fiber.

Mrs. r. D. Holmes, formerly Clara
Thompson, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arne Thompson of this city, is, as will
be remembered, accompanying her hus-
band to Buenos Aires, Argentine, where
he represents the General Motors Co.
She has written series of very inter-
esting letters on their trip to the South
American million city. They left New
York by boat, crossed Panama via the
canal, sailed along the west coast of
South America to Lima, Peru. Here
they spent several months. From there
they travelled by rail across the Andes
mountains to their destination. The
letters are we'll written and The Re-
porter has been permitted to use such
portions of this correspondence as will
be of interest to its readers. In next
weeks issue extracts from some of
these letters will appear.
