KERRICK

] AGxNINlNA1A
The dinner served by the Presby-
terrain ladies Saturday was a decided
success and they wish to express their
thanks to the many who helped make
it so.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Hogan, accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Lingren to
the Askov park near the new bridge
Sunday.
The population of Kerrick increased
early Sunday morning. Dee Anne
Sexton is the name. Mother and
daughter are doing fine. Ed seems
taller than ever.
Mrs. S. A. Halverson and Gladys
spent the weekend with Cy and in
cidentally attended the baseball hop.
The dance at the town hall given
for the benefit of the Sportsmen's club
to pay up the baseball teams deficit,
was very much of a success. The
crowd was large and receipts very
good. 1t is understood they cleared
around $50. The boys say thanks a
lot to everyone who came and helped.
Miss Esther Cote spent the week
end with her folks near Grasston.
In the whist game played Tuesday,
the local team gained the most points.
The exact score is not known. How
ever, one game means but little; there
are many games ahead.
The two sand pits shipped out 10
cars of sand last week.
Albin Sundstrom was taken to the
University hospital one day last week
suffering with stomach troubles. He
returned Tuesday for few days. We
understand he is to be returned for
further treatment shortly.
Mrs. Anna Larson and daughter.
Ruth, left Saturday for Los Angeles,
Calf. They have been at home with
Adolf for the past four months.
Vernon Mckee of Mason City,
Iowa, has purchased a piece of land
near the Ole Berset farm at Nema il
and will build house this fall.
Lund and Fox are cutting timber
near Holyoke with a good sized crew.
They have two years work in that
place.
C. A. Petersen of Holyoke, accom-
panied D. ]. Hogan to Minneapolis
and drove back a new Ford VS. last
week.
There appears to be a germ of some
kind in the air that causes infection
when the skin becomes scratched; so
far no blood poison has shown up but
the sores become large and inflamed.
If you scratch yourself, be sure to
treat the injured part Immediately
and see your doctor if you can.
Taxes will be payable before the
first of November to avoid penalty.
Taxes are much lower than in past
years. Pay them if you possibly can.
An effort is intended to be made
to get farmers to treat their horses
for worms this fall; it is utterly fool
ish to let your horses go all winter
and be feeding worms when they can
be eradicated much better in the
early fall. Many horses have been
lost through this neglect causing an
economic loss to the country. Bot
flies, especially, have become much
more numerous in late years and they
are the most dangerous of the horse
parasites. They can be easily re-
moved if treatment is made in the
early fall The best time is around
the middle of November. Don't wait
until your horse shows signs of worms.
They all have worms of some kind or
another, so treat for them. Ask any
veterinary what to give them or read
up on it if you have a book as most
of you have. 1t will pay you to look
after your horses.
Margaret Hogan spent the week
end at home, returning to school Sun
day.
Oscar Dahlgren's bus went out of
commission one day this week and
three cars were pressed into service
to take care of the children.
