Ernest Travis and Paul Hoenig of
Minneapolis, have been here several
days, sharpening and repairing lawn
mowers in the community. They trav-

and work, and have everything con-

towns they have made for several
Seasons. Mr., Travis said that the
first lawn mower they sharpened here
was for Hans Koed and since then
they have had no difficulty in getting
the business here. He also stated
that Cloquet and Coleraine are two
of their best towns for their business
as in those places prizes are awarded
for the best kept lawns and there is
real competition in that line.
The annual school meeting Tues
day evening was attended by only
small number in comparison to the
total voters in the district. The
treasurer's annual report was read
and approved. Supt. Viggo Justesen
explained the new state board method
of establishing passing marks for
state examinations. The chairman
asked for complaints on topics for dis
cussion, but not word was said by
the audience, so it is natural to i'm
agine that everything is going along
just fine. The main attraction of the
evening was the election of two new
school board members to take the
places of Fred Degerstrom and Hans
Clausen. Thirty-eight ballots were
cast with each having two names
written on same (there were no print
ed names on the ballots as none had
filed for the offices). The result of
the election was as follows: Johannes
Juhl 1, Martin Sorensen 1, Fred John
sen 1, ]. c. Jensen 1, Chris Frederik-
sen 1, N. P. Nedegaard 1, A. M. Sim
