GRINDING FLOUR

P. A. Olson has been doing quite
a stroke of work with his 25 Dbl Mar
vel flour mill and has been busy grind
ing feed and flour for the farmers
of the Mason district. The wheat
crop this season has not been what
it should be and Mr.. Olson hopes to
see the farmers go into growing of
more winter wheat. This is an
ideal country for winter wheat, if
planted in the proper time, and the
farmers should plant more of their
land to this crop.
Mr.. Olson has expended large
sum of money in erecting this flour
and feed grinding mill an dthe farm
ers of the district appreciate his
efforts but they should grow enough
wheat to keep the mill busy.

DOING GOOD WORK

A. E. Spears, >>who came to the
Mason district about two years ago,
has been making a wonderful show
ing in hewing out a farm home.
When Mr.. Spears came to the Ma
son district he had some cash, ten
head of grade heifers and pedigreed
sire, with a payment on his land
and determination to win and he
has been demonstrating what work
can be done in a short space of time.
He has cleared about so acres OF
land. has ten acres under pillow, and
is continuing the work of clearing
land this winter. In addition he has
cropped about one hundred acres of
rented land, and with the exception
of additional help at haying time has
been doing the work alone.
Mr.. Spears is showing what work
can be done and he is getting a
mark for others to follow.

and predestined for platform car
eer. For thirty-odd years he has
been watching and absorbing all
phases of life and he has developed
the art of giving what he sees in
life. so that the other fellow can see
it too.
He has lived in the South where the
colored brethren are thicker than
coolies" in the trenches and has
smiled at their fun and studied their
moods until he has few equals as
delineator dialect and character.
He was brought up in strict home,
church and social atmosphere, and he
endows the high-lights of life with
new meaning and interest.
And although his friends know him
as Smiling Bob" Briggs, yet his
platform work is not entirely fun.
Briggs knows the serious side of
life and just at the moment we may
be laughing with him at the funny
things ne sees III ourselves anu Jul
lives, he brings out one of the noble
eternal truths of life with force
that amazes and compels.
Nearly all of the material that
Briggs uses in his platform imper-
sonations, readings and cartoons is
original with himself. He is differ
ent and his subject matter must need
be different.
A distinct power in the entertain
ment field, no audience can know the
best in entertainment art without
having heard Smiling Bob" Briggs.
Don't forget the date and be sure
to hear this interesting entertainer.
