Mr.. AND MRS. JOHN WOODS 81 Y
sS.5 ss3.5 GIVEN PLEASANT SURPRISE
Mrs. sterling's Hotel the Scene Of !
I: I: z. Happy Occasion. g = ~ + =

A surprise party was given BY Mrs.
Belle Sterling last Friday evening N
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. John Woods
who are leaving Grand Marais after
a continuous residence of 18 years.
The hotel was prettilyj decorated
with flags, the guests gathering a
little late, following the Princess
|theater High School play. Card
tables were placed around the rooms
and after a pleasant hour or SO at
"500' a bountiful lunch was served.
The guests were then invited into
the dining room, where it had been
planned to present to Mr. and Mrs.
Woods a token of friendship from
the people of Grand Marais, and the
presentation was made by DR.. F. B.
Hicks, after a. talk on "reminiscences
of Grand Marais from the advent of
the Woods family here till the eve
Of their departure for another city.
Although it was a happy occasion a
little sadness permeated the gather
ing and the reci pients of the beau
tiful presents were so affected that
it was hard to respond, which they
did after a few moments, Mrs. Woods
thanking the people and Mr.. Woods
saying that he could not express his
appreciation if he had the vocabu-
larry of Webster.
The gifts consisted of a silver cof-
fee service-a coffee pot, sugar
bowl and cream pitcher; also an in
dividual present for Mrs. Woods
consisting of a beautiful silver cake
tray, and a gold ring for Mr. Woods
with the Masonic emblem for a set
ting.
After. the presentation. of the
presents, and the complimentary
comments regarding same had been
exchanged, the happy throng filed in
to the lobby to dance to the music
of the Jazz band.
F Mr.. Woods and son Earl left for
5Detroit Tuesday morning, and Mrs.
Woods and Dorothy will follow them
i'm a short time.
The position which Mr.. Woods has
accepted is Il promotion, and few
more years of continued faithful
service in the lighthouse service will
entitle him to retire on pay.

bills of the so-called farmers pro-

quickly accepted the changes, and re.

they went to the governor.

MINNESOTA agriculture has won. a
great victory, ''@"1 E. E. Potter, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, said. ''The action of the
Legislature demonstrated that the
needs of the farmer have at least
been recognized. These bills were
passed in response to the demands
of 10000 organized farmers.
*'The futures bill has put the
state of Minnesota on record as de-
claring short selling and gambling
in farm products to be- morally and
legally wrong. This bill is the first
law ever enacted in the United
States for that purpose. It<must be
tested in actual operation. The leg
islature has decided that short SELL
ing is wrong, and it has the power
to enforce it's decision.
Passage Of the rural amendment,
at the next general election, will
benefit every citizen in the state,
consumer as we'll as producer. Ev-
cry step toward improving farm life
and marketing methods is a step
toward better food and lower prices,
as we'll as toward a square deal for
the farmer"
