An ice cream social held on the
lawn at ]. H. Hogan's by the Catholic
Ladies' Aid was very we'll attended
and success. The Ladies' Aid ex-
presses its appreciation to those who
furnished and who helped with the
work. $19.35 were realized.
Wonderful haying weather and hay
has been going in the barn in fine
shape.
Cy Halverson loaded another car of
sand this week. Business is imprOv-
ing slightly.
Talking of business improving, let's
elaborate a bit. Butterfat is up three
cents. beef from one-half to one cent,
hogs two cents. None of these advances
will make people rich but they are
worth while. In cream it means
from 20 cents to IS cents on a five
gallon can of cream. On cattle it
means from 81 to 81 on critter. On
hogs from So to Sc. 1t makes diff
ference and that difference is easily
seen on the faces of the people. Let's
hope for more.
The hearing on this school district
was set over until Friday, July 25, at
which time final decision will be
made. The petition. as now before
the board, leaves off sixteen sections
in the eastern part of Pine county.
The board objected and agreed to al
low the petition if the same bound
| aries were taken. This is the mat
ter that will be heard Friday. Any
opposed to it should be at the hearing.
Two members of the state board were
at the hearing last week and en-
deavored to show the board why the
district should not be allowed to or
ganize. 1t was the feeling of those
defending the petition that this was
not question where the state school
board had the right to concern them
selves.
A large number of out-of-town peo-
pie are picking blue berries. The
| crop is not good at all. That late
frost hurt them considerably and the
dry spell probably also had its eff
feet.
Burnice Hogan, who has been on a
two weeks vacation, left Monday for
her work. Phyllis, Doris, Burnice and
Mrs. Peterson of Minneapolis, spent
a week on camping trip to Canada
| and through the Dakotas.
Baseball was in evidence Sunday.
The first game was between Oak Lake
and Kerrick, Oak Lake taking the
honors by few scores. They had
such old war horses as Bill Crosby
in their midst and played right
good game. The locals didn't do bad,
however, and the score was pretty
close. The second game was a league
game between ~Osterkamp's Bears"
OF Duquette, and Groningen. The
bears could bear down when they
had to and they walked off with the
honors. One of the Groningen play
ers was father of two or three of
the others and considerable roofing
was done for Cramps" 1t was a
oOON 0ethAS Will W L WHAT
ever.
The Presbyterian Ladies' Aid at the
G. A. Ferguson home was we'll at
tended and the usual very fine lunch
was served.
The Rev. Harrington was away on
vacation and the young folks conduct
ed the services both here and at Will
low River. Robert Berglund gave
talk that was of much interest 1t
is understood the Rev. harrington is
at his old home in the southern part
of the state.
