fOrnla Tor few days. he WanteO 10
get another glimpse of the country
in his "civies". He will be wearing
a khaki uniform before long, he
says.
Elwin Lynch has also taken>his turn
at swearing allegiance to the flag.
He'll be donning the same raiment
any day now.
A card from Victor and Lavina
Johnson says they have had visits
with Harvey and Patsy Christensen
and with Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Hogan
and Patty. They are soon going to
establish a ''Kerrick Colony" in Los
Angeles.
Did you know that a six-weeks old
baby boy has arrived at the home of
Charlie and Inger Jacobs out in Sun
ny California, also? Of course, it
wasn't quite that old when it arrived.
The new cheese maker at the fac
tory is Reno Ronzani. He has been
on the job two weeks now. Fred
Vandelli, whom he replaced, is now
working in Minneapolis.
Miss Anna Keyport of the Hogan
Mercantile Company, spent the week
end on the range, returning Monday
morning.
Joseph DiSanto, owner of the cheese
factory, was in town on business Sat-
urday afternoon.
Mrs. E. H. WaShburn was visitor
at the -the-Lakes Monday.
Her son, Bob, left for the army Tues
day, and she wanted to spend a day
or two with him.
Morley Wright, buttermaker at the
cheese factory, spent the weekend
with his family in Minneapolis, re-
turning Sunday night
Art Golden put one over on his
cows with the coming of war time.
He started them off a little each day
before war time was in full swing,
until he got them on the full hour
without any apparent loss in the milk
supply. They do claim that diff
ference of one hour in the milking
time, coming all at once, does make
difference in production until the
cows become adjusted to it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Wahlquist,
Richard and Betty Claire visited at
the Bert Wahlberg home at Grind
stone Lake last Friday evening.
1t does beat all how matrimonial
ventures do increase, now and then.
The latest to take the plunge is a
local boy in a far-off state. That's
the reason for Mrs. Matt McGrath's
latest smile. Philip, way down in
Georgia, has taken unto himself
Georgia sweetie and from what we
gather, via the grapevine, the gov
ernment could cut off Phil's supply
of sugar entirely, and he'd still have
an abundance of it for "a hours day
the rest of his life. Phil is at Fort
Benning, Georgia, with the End Arm
ored Division. He drives one of those
little things that roll on treads, and
could go through your house without
even having to bother to knock. The
girl in question? She is Edna Caw-
thon of Atlanta, and, to quote Phil:
"She is a peach!"
Mrs. William E. Olson is in the
hospital at this writing. She under
went an operation last Friday night,
and is resting nicely.
The Kerrick PIT A. will meet at
the schoolhouse Tuesday evening,
February II, at 8 o'clock. A special
Founders Day program will be

Be on the watch for school patrol
in the near future. The PIT. A.
is financing this worthwhile project
because they feel that it will do much
to safeguard the lives of your chill
dren.

Murphy attended the county "Food
