The Union Ladies' Aid will meet at
the home of Mrs. Harold Lund on
Tuesday, June 25. Everyone is well
come.
The baseball game Sunday at Stur
geOn Lake was disaster; too much
to tell about it, but THEY'VE had to
be licked some time, only the Lakers
were not nice to lick us so hard; per-
haps they are getting back for last
year. Better luck to the boys for
next time.
The play, dance and lunch given by
the SpOrtsmen's club and carried
through under guidance of Marie
Lund, was a complete success; they
had a net of about $54, which is a
real accomplishment. The entertain
ment was good. The cast had little
opportunity of practicing and yet car
ried out their parts creditably. Mike
Gehan, the singing game warden, en-
tertained the crowd with his songs
and jokes. He has wonderful voice
and gift of telling yarns that is
pleasing. We understand we are to
see him again in the near future.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. ]. Berglund spent n
week visiting relatives and friends at
Minneapolis, Saltwater, and Isanti.
With a hay crop practically assured,
it behooves our farmers to make every
preparation to make hay early" Get
it all in under cover or in good stacks.
Next year may see a shortage again
and a few tons carried over will be
| worth while.
Melvin Hamre was seriously hurt
Sunday night at Moose Lake and is
in the hospital there in a serious con-
dition. AS we get the story, he and
Mrs. Hamre were walking down the
highway, on the shoulder, going to
Dicks Lunch" when car driven by
a party from Bruno struck him. He
was taken to the hospital where an
X-ray disclosed several broken bones
and one rib puncturing the lung. The
community extends it's sincere SYM
pathy and hopes he may recover.
County Agent Brady has notified us
that new class of contracts will be
sent out in a few days for Bangs
Disease" testing. These new con-
tracts provide for little higher in
demnity and more stringent regula-
tions about cleaning, etc. In this ter
ritory very few remain unsigned.
The cheese factory opened up with
a bang Monday morning. Sixty-three
patrons shipped total of 1866 pounds
of milk, exceeding Mr.. Fuhrman's ex-
pectations by nearly 1000 pounds.
With his biggest day in his factory
at Herbster, Wis, being 1000 pounds,
we can readily see the reason for the
smile on his face Monday morning.
He expects to be able to increase the
farmers financial income. There
were so many patrons. in fact, that an
insufficient number of premiums was
provided. An additional supply will
be procured, however, and those en-
titled to them will be furnished
theirs in short time. On the second
day, the quantity of milk received
exceeded $500 pounds, and about
1000 pounds had to be run through
the separator. Mr.. Fuhrmann i'm
mediately telephoned for another vat
which he hopes to have installed in
a week, thereby increasing his daily
capacity to 10000 pounds.
