WILLOW RIVER

WILLOW River is one OF the very rev
places in the United States where a
man may save the country twice on
the same day, that is, he may cast
two perfectly legal votes at the
spring elections, one at the township
and one at the village elimination
contest. 1t is probably for that rea-
son that there are more politicians
per square inch in this precinct than
in New York City, and some pretty
keen ones at that. While the cleo
tions Tuesday produced no casualties,
it could not be said that it passed
quietly; there was plenty of talk,
both loud and low, but out of it all
we emerge with very good and rep
resentative set of officials, village
and township. DR.. Ehmke was re-
elected president of the council after
IA spirited contest. Following are
other officers elected: Councilman,
Edward Clough; treasurer, Joseph Be-
chek; recorder, j. M. Johnson. Kettle
River township elected the following:
Supervisor, Rudolph Klatt; town
clerk, August Brandt; treasurer, Jo-
seph Stepan, the only contest being
for supervisor with three candidates
in the field as follows: Tony Derung,
Rudolph Klatt, and Herman Nortrup.
Mr.. Nortrup has held the office for
many years.
The whist club was entertained
Tuesday evening by Mrs. VIM. Week
ley, and the usual pleasant evenings
entertainment resulted. Ruth Ander-
son OF the local teaching force, won
first prize, while the second prize
was awarded to Maud Macmillan.
Vic Tarnowski left the first of the
week to investigate the methods of
handling milk stations in certain
Wisconsin dairy regions, with the
plan sponsored by the Commercial
club and others here for trying out
the scheme at this point. Certain
Wisconsin communities claim that it
is far superior to the creamery in
many ways, and gives the farmer a
higher revenue from his dairy herd.
A meeting will be called here some
time this month to consider the mat
ter and to give local farmers the facts
in the matter.
Mrs. Arthur Gunderson entertained
the Bridge club at her home last
Tuesday evening, with all members
of the club present or represented.

C.. NJ Erickson, accompanied by
Mrs. Erickson, his daughters, Vera
and Verna, and sons, drove up from
Minneapolis Sunday morning and Wis
tied briefly with several old friends
here in the village, returning to the
city in the evening. They are do
ing well in the city, all being en-
ployed in desirable positions except
Lester who is attending school, and
Mrs. Erickson who keeps the home
fires burning.
William Weekley went to Lady
smith, Wis, last Tuesday for couple
of weeks vacation at the home of his
