The Farmers club of Baldwin held
q picnic on Sunday at Walkers lake.
Between 20 and 80 families were pres
ent and came prepared with all kinds
of good eats, in fact there was such
a variety it was hard to choose from.
This club is one of the best organiza-
lions of it kind, and all the members
vie in stimulating interest and prog
ress. This is only one instance of
their many gatherings and, as usual,
one of the best-ever times was re-
corded. After the bounteous dinner
County Agent Hickman and Andrew
Davis of Elk River gave addresses
along practical lines which were much
appreciated by the farmers. It is by
these means of social gatherings that
the interest in the club work is SO
keenly alert, and what has made it SO
entirely successful.
H. F. Pratt and family and Ethel
Nash and Winton Peterson autoed to
Lake Mitchell on Thursday evening
to call on the Rust and Hanson fam
lilies, who were enjoying weeks out
ing there. Now these men are thor
oughly good fellows, but one great
failing of theirs is propensity to
eat, and eat and eat some more: so
about the first thing they did was to
make for the cupboard, but alas, for
those visitors. The tenants had par
taken of an unusually fine spread at
about a o'clock in the afternoon and
then lounged around for a few hours
before going bathing, from where they
were called by the arrival of their
visitors. Realizing that the provisions
were rather low nothing was said
about preparing a feast, but Pratt.
after various ways of intimating that
they had rather keen appetite, de-
cided that unless they requested some
thing nothing would be Forthcoming.
SO after an inspection he and Peter
son hled themselves to town and re-
turned with arms laden with packages
fruit, milk. bread, butter,
beans and many other eatables. They
considered it nothing less than a mir
acle that they had arrived in time to
prevent the starvation of these estima-
bic families, and were glad to be able
to relieve their condition, and felt
satisfied when they left that there was
ample supply for the few remaining
days they would be there.
