Leaves for Grand Rapids.

dt Tie DdIih SlIlCc CcOIuoAy 1, 4OfA,
resigned two months ago to take eff
feet September /, and is accepting a
similar position at Grand Rapids. The
position is quite an advance for him,
being larger bank with more op-
portunities for the future and in a
much larger place.
Mr.. Fider worked in the First Ma
tional Bank at that place several
years ago and while there, was mar
ried. Later he moved to Spooner, Wis.,,
from which point he came to Ker-
rick. Friends here regret seeing the
Fider family 60. They were fine peo-
pie and liked by everyone, and the
best wishes of the community 60 with
them.
Frank Nee moved the personal
property of the Fider family Satur-
day. Because of road conditions the
trip was very difficult. Several miles
of the road north of Cromwell had
been torn up.
Milton BeckStrom and family left
Sunday for few days visit at Up
sala. Milton's sister, Mrs. David
Erickson, and Louis Smith will be in
charge of the service station and
the Misses Dorothy Larson and Gloria
Murphy in charge of the cafe while
they are gone.
Cy Halverson and Milton Beck
strom transacted business at Pine
City Saturday.
Victor and Levina johnson left
Saturday for Minneapolis and will
probably 60 from there to Los An
geles. They thought of remaining in
Minneapolis for time if living con-
ditions permitted but on their pre-
vious trip they had found it quite diff
ficult to find a furnished apartment
and if such is still the case they will
likely return to Los Angeles.

answer is no.
Mrs Ray Hogan is helping out in
the bank these days in Mr.. Elders

Sunday feeling better but is not
strong yet
The Ed Sexton family went to Foley
Saturday night to spend two days

with Mrs. Alvin Anderson for Hast
ings, Nebr., where the children will
rejoin their parents and Mrs. Ander-
son will help out until Mrs Ames
has fully recovered from her recent
operation.
The clover has lot of seed in il
this year. 1t would be we'll for any
one who has a clean field to save as
much of it as possible. Clover-seed
is high and some nice returns could
be made if seed is saved.
