Miss Laura Hedstrum, a bride, Of the
coming week, was the victim Of sill
yer shower last night in the parlors
of the Swedish Lutheran church. Miss
Hedstrum has been directing the
choir Of that church and after the
practice last night the choir was in
vited down into the parlors only to
find assembled about sixty members
and friends of the congregation pres
ent in the form of party in honor
of Miss Hedstrum. It was somewhat
of surprise but like all surprises you
soon get accustomed to them and so
it was with the prospective BRIDE
she soon got used to it. Rev. .. M.
Bloom delivered a very neat little
speech after which Brother Holm
arose and in very pleasing manner
made presentation speech rendering
to Miss Hedstrum the many useful
presents brought by her friends.
There were silver knives and forks:
salad forks, sugar spoons, teaspoons
and no end of other very useful silver
gifts, all of which were received by
the honor guest with deep apprecla-
ton. A very fine luncheon was serv-
ed and a splendid social hour enjoyed.

The telephone operators are girls
that like to get out once in a while
themselves after sitting in the local
office answering all the calls of the day
so last evening a number Of them
journeyed over to the Chautauqua
Park where they INDUCED in water
melon and all the other goodies that
go to make up picnic luncheon. The
girls like many others are glad to get
out and enjoy themselves oncei in
awhile. It is rumored they had lit
tile cake left over and were kind heart
ed enough to give it to the more un-
fortunate who were nearby. This was
very kind of the young ladies', but we
wish to say that after eating so much
it is hardly wise for them to try foot
racing as they did coming home, when
one Of the young ladies who we are
sure by her weight had overdone the
thing and in the race from the post
office to the telephone building Stun
bled and fell, throwing pans, paper
and crumbs Of cake at the unfortunate
nan in the Times Record doorway
We are informed that no one was hurt.

Judge c.. A. label tells us story
that should be warning to others.
About a month ago young fellow
went into the Anderson Clothing store
here and bought a suit Of clothes from
Mr.. label for $50 giving check for
the amount and signing the name Of
Clifford Larson to the check. He
claimed to be working at Oriska. The
check came back in the course Of a day
Or two with no funds written across
it. The young man skipped out of the
state and after doing some detective
work Mr.. label finally located him at
his home at Kimball, Mimi; his right
name being Ed. Nelson. After con-
Tossing to signing wrong name he
offered to fix the deal up later as he
was coming up to Valley City. Mr.
label said nay, nay. Ed, you fix it up
here and now or go to the pen. He
had no money but finally his mother
signed note and made his debt good.
Mr.. label gave the young man a good
talking to which may set him right
after such lesson. Miss Elsie label
accompanied the judge on his trip.

Some of the league editors are call
ing F. E. Packard names because ne
has been recognized to the extent that
he is drawing a large salary-twelve
thousand dollars per year-for being
attorney for a large corporation. 1t
shows that PackaIl has the brains
and successful business recognizes
that fact. Those fellows who are
yapping at the heels of Packard are
those fellows who have failed to make
a mark in the world for themselves
and who can be classed as failures
There are many around North Dakota

A
B Levi Etzell had quite an experience
Tuesday night about nine o'clock. He
was driving his Ford car to Fargo and
couple Of chaps by the name Of
Christianson on a motorcycle were
coming west. They were on the wrong
side of the road and smashed into Mr..
Etzell's car, smashing one wheel, bent
the ak and knocked one fender off ,
bent the frame and caused other dam
age to the car. Mr.. Etzell had a
friend with him in the car but Meth
er got hurt. Harry Christianson was
driving the motorcycle and his brother
was riding in a side car. The motor
cycle was badly damaged and the boys
badly bruised up but no bones were
brokers' The boys acknowledged they
were in the wrong and agreed to fix
up the car and paid for it which is
better than most Of. them do. People
driving motorcycles or automobiles
should exercise great care on the
roads as it is those who drive on the
wrong side occasionally that cause
many accidents. Mr.. Etzell and his
friend are indeed fortunate to escape
without injury. No one was speeding,
says Mr.. Etzell. 55

Four working men were standing on
the corner of the N. P. depot this
morning and one Of them had been
asked to go to work and had decided to
20 out, when one Of the bunch spoke
up with much authority and said:
"Have you no personal ambition, we
must all stick together" That is the
spirit of the I. w. WIS. They do not
want to work and they stop those who
do. Then they blame communities for
driving them out. In cases like that
they should be driven out. If there is
no state law for such action a law OF
self determination should be put in
force by the people.

We wish to make it clear to the peo-
ple that the Times-Record will not
take want ads. or any other kind OF
ad. over the phone unless the one
phoning has a regular book account
with the office. We keep no books on
this class of advertising which must
be paid for in advance. The rates for
same are given at the head of the
want column and can easily be figured
out. Bear this in mind-all advertis-
ing of this nature must be accompan-
led by the cash. We get promises
that if "you will put the ad. in l will
call and settle" and then the memory
seems to fail many after this is done:
We are through with that sort OF
thing. y g.
