Postmaster StrahI SURPRISED

Last Thursday evening Postmas-
ter Mark B. Strahl of Malta was
pleasantly surprised. Going to his
home he found rural carriers F. @.
Mcintyre and A. E. Blackburn and
their families, substitute carrier
Robert w. Griest and wife. Miss
Marjorie Harrison and Charles
James, clerks at the postoffice were
all there with a fine pot luck sup
per awaiting his arrival. 1t would
be hard to tell which he really en-
joyed most, the surprise or the sup
per. That he ate few pieces Of
pumpkin pie would be putting it
mildly, to say nothing of the dough-
nuts. chicken, baked beans, sand
wiches, etc. After supper music
was furnished by Leroy Grandstaff
with the guitar and r. w. Griest
also entertained with tap dancing.
Some stories and recitatiions were
given, followed by piano and vocal
solos by Mrs. Strahl. and duets by
Mr.. James and Mrs. Strahl, after
which all enjoyed an old fashioned
singing with Mrs. Strahl at the pi-
ano.
All departed at late hour wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Strahl many hap
py returns of the day, this being
their 18th wedding anniversary. IL
there is anyone else, who thinks as
Mr.. Strahl did, that he cannot be
surprised, just ask him how they
do it.-XX.

This office is in receipt of copy

tains eight sections, and in all 60

per has ever been published else
where in the state, in place the
size of Logan. To print the paper
required 5000 pounds OF newsprint
and 100 pounds of news ink, and

are reproductions of actual letters

In the American League, the figures
for the first 20 games showed II home
