Glendorado is community which is
noted for it's good spirit of co-opera-
ton. The people in that neighborhood
stand together and when they at
tempt to stage any public entertain
ment or celebration they make sue
cess of it. The Fourth Of July cele-
bration that was held in the Anderson
park Tuesday reflects credit on the
members of that community who went
to no little labor for the event. The
exercises were conducted under the
auspices Of the Clarence Stowe post Of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. There
are % members in this post.
AS scheduled, the program COM
menced at 1O:30 in the morning with a
parade. Halvor Aleckson, as Uncle
Sam, led the procession. He was fol-
lowed by six girls who carried the
flag, the war veterans, the band and a:
float. On the float were 48 girls rep
resenting the 48 states. A second float
bore group of sailors, soldiers, ma
rines and Red Cross nurses. There
was a large group of clowns who were
much appreciated by all the spectators.
Some of the make-ups were excep-
tionally clever. Oscar Odegard and
his small son drew the first prize Of
fered the members Of this contingent.
At noon a picnic dinner was enjoyed
in the grove. There were numerous
booths at which the visitors could Sc
cure refreshments to supplement any
deficiencies in their lunch baskets.
After dinner the speaking program
commenced. John Odegard, who de-
livered the first address, surprised his
friends with the ease with which he
spoke and the ability which he dis
played in handling his subject. He
dwelt chiefly on the unrest in the.
country and emphasized that it Isl
largely a subjective matter, the trou-.
BILE frequently lies with the individual
himself. When man puts himself
right with the rest of the world, the
clouds frequently commence to clear
away and he finds that conditions are,
not so bad as he had imagined. The,
second speaker was Edward Indre-
hus, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. He discussed war, it's effect on,
country and the means of preventing
it,. Mr.. Indrehus argued that educa-:
ton will in all probability be the most
Influential factor in eliminating war.
His address also was we'll received. H.
B. Rutledge of Minneapolis was the.
last speaker. His remarks were ratf-.
er on the humorous order.
Three horses were entered in the
running race which was won by Gun
der George.
