JULIA had SAID !! SOMETHING II
Sam Was Forced TO Admit That Hi.
Better Half 1'chatted About
Dem Clothes.n

Courtenay Dinwiddie, executive of
the National Child Health council, told
the following story at the meeting
OF the Monday evening club. It belongs
/ to the great fund Of family stories Of
which each home has its share.
His family had colored woman
OF the name of Julia, who did the
wash, according to Mr.. Dinwiddie
her husband transporting the clothes
to and from home. One night he start:
ed with q big bundle Of freshly washed
clothing. It had been raining and
there were puddles along the street
The unfortunate man slipped, the
bundle hit the street, opened up, and
Its contents went into mud puddle
Needless to say, he couldn't deliver
the wash, and he hated to take II
back home. But he was forced tc
"face the music" .
A week later the colored man
showed up at the Dinwiddie home
with the clothes spick and span. The
family, of course, had found out what
had delayed their wash and were pre-
pared for Sam. ,..... ....... ~ =. -.
That worthy, however, did not say
word about his mishap.
"Sam," asked member of the fam.
lily, "didn't Julia have anything to say
about the clothes when you had tt
take them back?" -.
Sam grinned.
"Julia-she done chatted quite a
while about dem Clothes" he said

AVIATION NOT HIS OBJECT
Swede Had His Own Reason for Re-
jecting Offer Of That Particu-
lar Brand of Liquor.

Stephen Hunter Love of Salt Lake
City, prominent in the beet sugar in
dustry Of Utah and a member Of the
food administration during the war,
was in Washington for the sugar
hearings before the finance committee
of the senate. Mr.. Love has a great
gift for story telling, and is particu-
larly fond of Swedish stories, his imi-
tation of the Scandinavian dialect be-
Ing well-nigh perfect.
It seems that recently a picturesque
old Swede employed in one of the
sugar, mills thought to himself that
he would not mind having a little drink
or two after a particularly hard days
work.. So he hied himself to a boot
logger Of his acquaintance.
'Y0u got any that squirrel whisky,
YOhn?" he asked.
mo, I haven't Sven," replied the
liquor merchant, 'but I can give you
little old crow. How bout that?"
Sven thought for moment; then he
shook his head.

.ment and remodeling Of the creamery
then came up for consideration, and
Max A. Buetow, representing c. W.
Kampfer g. Co. of St. Paul, submitted
plans for creamery of the dimen-
sions which it was considered <advisa-
BILE to erect. ~.
James Sorenson said he considered
the plans "a practical layout from a
creameryman's viewpoint" and did not
think they could be much improved
upon. He thought, however, that an
ice-making machine should be in
stalled, as it would be more eco
nomical and convenient. He estimat-
ed that the building, as per plans, to-
gether with an ice machine, would cost
about $4,000, >that is, allowing $751;
900 for the building. :
Manager Jones said that at present
there was not sufficient room in the
creamery and he thought an estimate
of $4,000 reasonable. The plans pre-
scented looked all right to him, he said
Louis ROCKFORD declared that in
the past two years $4,000 or $4,000 had
been paid out in trying to enlarge the
creamery, but it did not work out sue
cessfully. He was in favor of two
story building as shown in the plans.
Captain Johnson asked how the d.
rectors proposed to.finance the project.
President Meyer did not think it adj
visable to build by issuing more shares
He said there were several ways of
financing the proposition.
Manager Jones thought the patrons
should help by subscribing for shares
August Thoma believed it would be
a money saver to build now and said
he had examined the plans submitted
and considered them good.
Louis Normandin said he tried tc
buy shares but could not obtain them
He would subscribe for two shares if
given an opportunity and thought all
patrons would also buy shares to help
out the stockholders who had built ur
the creamery.
President Meyer-How many here
not stockholders would be willing tc
buy one share or more? Forty-twc
held up their hands. A paper was
then circulated for those who wished
to buy shares and many signatures
were obtained.
A. H. Meyer asked, "Shall we build
or not?" This was put as motion
and carried in the affirmative.
A motion followed to leave the de-
tails Of the building proposition to the
board of directors. This carried unani,
mously.
John Dalchow was reelected a mem.
Der Of the board of directors for a
term of three years.
Two motions then prevailed-one, tc
change the articles of incorporation
so that the capital stock would be
$4,000 instead of $500, and the
other to raise the highest amount oil
Indebtedness from $4,000 to $4,000.
The: session then dissolved.

An Indianapolis accountant, who is
of English birth, says that when he
arrived in the United States several
years ago, he did not propose to per-
NIT himself to be imposed on.
When he landed he gave his hand

The first Saturday in February the
Page Farmers club will meet at Geo.
Schnoor's at o'clock in the afternoon
for the purpose of visiting three or
four Of the farms in that community
From Mr.. Schnoor's they will go to
Mr.. Bloomquist's, Henry Johnson's
and Gust Molander's. The purpose of
these visits are to see the various
ways the different farmers solve their
problems and to inspect their con-
veniences.
Quite bit Of interest was shown
by our community at the creamery
meeting, as practically all the share
holders were present. Some from the
north end walked in IL miles.
Quite a BUNCH of the neighbours
called on Mr.. Jensen at the new store
last Tuesday night. The crowd was
entertained by music, singing and
playing games, after which fine oys-
ter supper was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Molander spent a
week visiting in the city,.
Miss Lindmany expects to be with us
at the next Farmers club meeting
which IS to De Held the second Friday
in February. i. She is, very good
speaker, and hasa very good message
to deliver. She may give demonstra-
ton also. Everyone is invited to come
and hear what she has to say.

houses for our soldiers in France.
The club has always stood by our

houses for our soldiers in France.
The club has always stood BY our
soldier boys. It provided and served a
farewell dinner when our boys were
called to the border in 1916. The
members also served the boys an early
breakfast the morning they left and
provided them with a hamper of lunch
When our boys left for war the club
added $66 to the Company G fund.
The business men have found they
can always rely upon the CLUB mem
bers to attend to any odd jobs around
town. They served the turkey dinner
given to Company G on their return
from the border. They decorate for
Memorial day. They decorated the
registration places.f for the village and
town during the war. They had charge
of the flag raising exercises in the
court house yard. They served the
supper for the Apollo club when it
gave concert for the band.
The club has never taken much time
for social affairs aside from three
times giving reception for our teach
ers. During the war the club was un-
able to be as active in local work as
its members were, in the most part,
too busily engaged in Red Cross and
other war work. Besides sewing and
knitting and assisting with the vari-
Gus drives they raised $3.50 for the
Red Cross.
Just lately the club has turned in
twenty-six dollars to help swell the
village quota for the Bowling fund
which is to build a free state hospital
for crippled children.
Perhaps the best thing the club has
ever done for the community was the
establishing Of a rest room for women
This rest room, which is now Jointly
supported by the business interests of
the town and the village itself, was a
long felt want.
Space does not permit the telling of
all the things accomplished by the
Civic Betterment CLUB but such as are
here enumerated surely serve to show
what worthwhile organization it has
always been.

to the late Robert C. Dunn that the
famous Wallace-Fosseen abatement

National Commander ,MacNlder's
declaration that "the strength of the
legion is in it's posts" is daily being
demonstrated by scores Of Gopher le-
gion posts. Minnesota legionaires are
proving that quality and not quantity
counts most in legivn affairs as in ev-
cry other worthwhile endeavor. Some
of the smallest Gopher posts are the
most virile, most helpful, most ag-
gressive They are always up to their
ears in worthy community enterprises.
As result, they have their local citi-
zens back of thcm-have won for
themselves a place in the esteem of
their communities.
Strathconna is a little town of 200
people in Roseau county, bordering on

without charge, the auxiliary prepar-
ing the cake, sandwiches, doughnuts,

thanked the legion for this helpful CO.
operation.
When members of Alfred Lockman
post, No. SO, Breckenridge, wrote to
Commissioner c.. M. Babcock of the
Minnesota highway system, urging
him to use his influence to help former
service men get work on the various
trunk highway projects, he replied: 81
will be very glad to urge the contrac-
tors who do this work to employ for
mer service men wherever possible"
During 1921 Henry Bergquist post
auxiliary of Mora sent to disabled men
in twin city hospitals one bathrobe,
three Christmas presents, a box of
canned fruit, a box of canned jelly and
many letters of cheer and encourage
ment. They sold $55 worth of knitted
articles made by disabled soldiers, a
large number Of peoples on Memorial
day, and served two dinners to former
service men Of the community and
their relatives, in addition to doing
much relief work for the needy of
Kanabec county. Every legion post
should establish live auxiliary to
carry on this kind of good work.

Come on, you red-blooded former
service men. The American legion
needs your moral and financial sup
port to help enact the adjusted COM
pensation and other bills in your favor

OF claims'for former service men with
out cost, not only in Faribault but in
