2 The ACQUISITION installed in the To-
cal church recently on four weeks
trial has now been tried out for two
Sundays and from all reports is Civ
ing good satisfaction. Others who are
hard of hearing are cordially invited
to come next Sunday and the following
Sunday to try it out. There are eight
receiver units. affording an opportun-
ity for eight persons to listen at one
time. If the ACQUISITION proves sat
isfactOry it will remain in the church
and be donated by the Ladies' Aid.
Wilfred Olesen who has been recup-
Grating in Minneapolis a few weeks,
returned to his home here Sunday
He came up-o the noon train which,
on account of a freight train being
derailed. had to be re-routed from
Hinckley over the N. P. tracks to the
Twin Ports and then down on the
regular route as the $50 flyer, but
about an hour late This gave him
hours of extra riding, and being
rather young to travel alone, it was
not exactly desirable, especially in
view of the fact that he was travel
ing without any immediate funds. A
fellow passenger gave him magazine
to read to pass the time away. But he
naturally also became hungry, so when
he had read the magazine he sold it
to the newsboy on the train for two
sandwiches and a glass of milk.
AT the regular ID. B. S. meeting
Saturday evening it was decided to
have their postponed social and enter

now been cleared away and the en-
tertainment will be put on as orig !
inally planned. And when 1t Is stated
cas- originally planned that means
that you will have to put on muzzle
to keep from laughing. There is go

gram, but in addition to this there
will also be some hitherto unknown
talent, and you are going to regret it |
if you miss this original and only |
performance. Members will please
bring cake or sandwiches. Remember
that the program starts at p. M
Saturday, Feb. 9.

mothers from Is to 80 years back.
and other old time dresses dating
back many yearS-no short skirts.
There was also some variety amongst
the boys outfits-though not as much
as the girls. A number of 'swal-
