The annual convention of the Sun

was held in Kerrick Sunday and those
attending report very educational
as we'll as interesting convention.
The attendance was large.
The Bruno ball team engaged a
pickup nine from Duquette and Ker-
rick ON the grounds here Sunday and

The boys say it was interesting. Karl
r. Won Schenk did the heaving for the
Bruno boys.
Ed Charpentier entertained his
brother and family over the weekend.
Victor Strieber has erected neat
cottage on his place at Oak lake at

room affair and nice and comfortably
looking. He intends to put up few
more later.
Chas. Ketchum's mother-in-law left
Sunday for southern Minnesota. She
was here assisting with the care of
the young lady who recently arrived.
| N. A. Berset and family were up
over the weekend visiting.
School is out, teachers gone, kids
rejoicing, everybody happy.
| The Dahlgren-Hanson dance Satur-
day night was another of those good
clean affairs. One of the largest
crowds yet, attended. We understand
there is another in two weeks, June
10.
If everyone who bought a license
catches ten fish, there will be very
few fish left. A lot of licenses were
sold this year.
Crops are all in and growing fine.
Let's work hard and hope harder, for
a price.
The statewide cow testing associa-
ton is progressing rapidly. 1t seems
to be an economical and sensible way
of testing your cows. Be sure to at
tend the meeting at the school house
Thursday evening, June 4. Mr..
Searles from the university will be
there to explain the testing and give
results obtained to this date. There
is no question but now is the time to
weed out your poor cows. Sell them.
1t doesn't make much difference what
they are worth, if they are losing you
money you better sell them. To keep
carrying poor producer on and on in
hopes the market will come back so
your money will be returned in full,
is just poor business. The manufac-
turer who has a piece of machinery
or a department that loses him money
.junks the machinery or closes the de-
partment. Junk your boarder cows.
Test so you know which are boarders.
Come Thursday evening, at s p. m.
For two young fellows who have
never been ON farm before, we
| boys on the Elmer Prall farm. How
so much energy can be wrapped up

thing of mystery. They are up and
at it early and late. There is success
ahead of them.

barn Saturday night and they had a

These projects are going to make bet
