Miss Hilder Westlund dropped off
here on her way to Duluth from
Hinckley and spent Tuesday with
Miss Phyllis Hogan and other friends.
Hilder taught here several years ago
and is now located at Rheinlander,
Wis, where she has been for the
past three years.
Everyone being busy in the hay
fields makes news scarce, but the
hay surely is plentiful here.
The crew is now at work on the
county road and have about COM
pleted a mile of it. 1t is being
widened to standard, ditched and
sraveled and after being completed
will be kept up by the county. Il
has been suggested and of late many
have asked that the job be completed
at this time running to the town line.
Guy Watson's brother arrived from
South Dakota on the 22nd, and in
tends to remain for time. He IS
now busy helping Guy with his hay
ing.
We understand the Smith boys and
Erick Norell and several others have
left for the harvest fields of North
Dakota.
The Junior baseball team went to
Askov for a return game on Tuesday
and came back with a victory. The
score was Is to 10. A number Of
the fans accompanied them. The
boys would like other games with
teams under II years.
Ray Hogan pitched for the Asliov
team against Sturgeon Lake Sunday
and the Askov boys won the game
to 3. 1t was a good game and well
pitched several of the hard hitters of
the Sturgeon team having been
stopped at the plate.
A pheasant released from the War
rem place last fall was recently seen
i'm the neighborhood of the Emil Oh
son place with a covy of pretty well
grown youngsters, some say nine and
some say more. They are large enough
now to look after themselves, how
ever it is hoped hunters will leave
them alone, as in few years they
will be numerous and make hunting
worthwhile.
1t is understood the party who ran
the meat wagon in this territory
from Sandstone the past summer, has
moved to parts unknown and taken
bunch of his friends money with
him, leaving his family for posterity.
Several from here listened to the
Band concert at Sandstone last week.
Another will be given at Askov this
Friday evening.
Felix Kvasnicka trucked another
Ford Tudor for the local dealer Tues
day night
A burglar alarm is being installed
in the Kerrick State Bank. The rob-
bers are getting too thick to be plea
SAINT and this additional precaution
is being taken.
The grading crew is at work on the
Gas Tax Road" They are under the
direction of Fred Hedberg which as
sures us our moneys worth. They
are already nearly done with the first
mile.
It's soon time to be thinking of
the Community fair. Are we going
to have it again.
More than ever we need COW test
ing associations. With the low price
of butterfat poor cows should he
shipped. In the absence of any local
association the testing by mail
method now in use with the help of
the University should be taken on
by farmers. 1t is a serious mistake
not to test when some method is
available.
No rust is reported on grain thus
far. Looks like a good crop of every
thing. Now for a price.
Girls of young age-their teens"
you understand-ought not attend
dances without a chaperon. Yet, this
is free country: and that's why they
sometimes take the liberty to gamble
about, running down the road in the
wake of a flying pillow. Flying feet
and flying feathers make a good
combination.
There are some blue berries being
found south and east of Bruno, and
a few above Nickerson, but they are
not plentiful this year.
The dance at Duquette Saturday eve
ming was attended by a few from here.
The Nelson twins furnished the
music again; and when that is done
