with all that was best in the relig-
ious and social life of the town. Be
ing a woman of loving heart and keen
sympathy and insight she won and
held a place that was her own in the
hearts of her many friends and she
was a woman who commanded re-
spect as we'll as love. For sc years
she went her way serenely and faith
fully, doing her duty as she saw it. :"

perty of the bank was taken possess
sion of by the State Superintendent
of Banks. w. A. Smith, the examin-
er in charge of liquidation, represents

depleted reserve and the Inability of
the banks officers to obtain suf1-
cient assistance from correspondent
banks.

institution started by the members
of the Nonpartisan League in this
county in the fall of 1919. It is the

ing gravel and gravel for

Swift county to Holloway as a state
highway is expected to follow the at
tendance of the two town boards and
large delegations from each township
at the meeting of the board of COM
missioners. The matter was taken up
at that time and discussed fully from
all angles. Although no definite de-
cision was made at the time the COM
missioners promised that something
would be done in the near future.

tween $4,000 and $4,000 of state
highway reimbursement bonds was

The Morris Tribune's P-word Puz-
eel Contest closed on Monday with a
large accumulation of answers for
the judges to look over. One answer
was received on Tuesday, but as it
bore a postmark of April II, it could
not be entered.
The judges, Miss Elsa Klippstein,
Miss Marion Larson, and Miss Ger
trude Haase went to work on We'd
nesday, and with the assistance of
the artists Master List and Webster's
International Dictionary proceeded
to score the many lists submitted.
The P-Word Puzzle has proved a
most interesting pastime to the many
readers of The Tribune during the
past few weeks. Many who did not
send lists have found the puzzle in
| teresting, and those who did send in
lists have discovered the educative
value of word-chasing whether they
won prizes or not, and now know the
meanings of more P-nouns than they
ever knew before. For the winners,
substantial prizes are given.
Besides the priZe-winners given
above, honorable mention should be
given to Anna Marie Crowley, De-
borah Maloney, Mrs. A, C. Sunby and
Clara Olson, who tied in the score
for seventh place, and Mrs. Hester A.
