Mesdames Hakbaker, Paul Hultgren
and Walter Olsen served a delicious
lunch to the ladies present. Our lady
teachers, Miss Brathold, Miss Huss,
Miss Hawbaker, Miss Grover and
Mrs. George Miller were also invited
to be present. A very pleasant time
is reported.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. l.. Sateren of
Comertown visited with his sister,
Mrs. Carrie M. Onstad of this city
last Wednesday, a week ago..
Mr.. Bert Hoel, our local barber, is
having a full basement built under
his residence. Mr.. John Christoffer-
son and his son Carl are doing the
work. Mr.. Hoel is also assisting with
the excavation work.
Austin Knutson has been planting
trees around by the fence in the house
lot of Mr.. A. M. Ditmarson. it seems
to be rather difficult to start trees
out here in Montana, but with the
special care and attention that Mr..
Knutson is devoting to his work, he
expecting good results.
Mr.. Knutson has also been busy
identifying the lawn for Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Jensen. Mr.. Jensen has
built a nice woven wire fence around
the lot, which adds to the improve
ments Of the place. The main streets
Of Westby will become very homelike
and attractive with the green lawns
on both sides.
. And as you come into our city
from the south you will notice on the
right hand side the beautiful park
built by our local banker, Mr.. P. G..
Anderson. We may see one Of those
modern residences erected there
some time in the neal future. At any
rate we will enjoy to see the trees
and shrubs planted.
Mr.. A. M. Ditmarson received word
from Fargo, N. OAK, that his wife,
who has been staying with relatives
there since her recent operation, had
met with an accident by falling on
the slippery sidewalk, which had
caused a serious set back in her re-
covery. The medical clinic had there
fore advised another operation. Mr..
Ditmarson left the same day, on
Wednesday. His wife was operated
upon On Friday and is reported to be
getting along as well as can reason
ably be expected. We extend SYM
pathy and best wishes.
Mr.. G. N. Rostad and his two sons
Walter and Lloyd, visited with grand
ma Rostad at Comertown on Mothers
Day.
The Mothers Day service conduct
ed at the First Lutheran Church OF
Westby Sunday was very much en-
joyed by all. The song selection rem
dered by the local shoir 81 Wear a
Flower for Mothers Sake" was very
appropriate and we'll received. That
is one way in which we can honor
Mother. If there has been anyone tc
urge US to go to church it has beer
especially our mother. Our mothers
are, as a rule, very religious anc
~God-fearing. And because of that
they have been and will be especially
blessed.
Mr.. Emil Anhalt has not beer
feeling well since he returned home
form Seattle, Wash, where he and
his wife spent the winter months
On Wednesday Of last week he went
to Grenora to consult the DR.. Wright

On Sunday his condition took a
change for the worse, and he has
been seriously i'll since then. The
children were called to his bedside on
Monday. William is residing here at
Westby, Edwin is at Fortuna, La
wrence at Whitehall and Walter at
Outlook. They all came. Fred who is
residing at Seattle, Wash, was wired
on Monday, as to the critical condi-
ton of his aged father. While we
hope that he may remain with us, the
chance for his recovery seems very
doubtful.
DR.. Wright from Grenora was
called to the home of Mr.. Anhalt
early on Monday morning. He found
him in a very critical condition.
Mrs. Henry Langan has assisted
at the Anhalt home in nursing Mr.
Anhalt.
