Harold Blain returned to South Da

The fine rain Saturday and Sunday
was worth a lot of dollars to the
farmers.
A large crowd attended the Wasner

Born to Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Sum

Mr. W. Clyde moved from the C.
Blain farm to the Cassem farm. He
intends to raise garden vegetables for
the market.
mi Milan gium is ui uiu gruuuu anu
looks fine. Rye fields promise a big
crop. May plowing for corn is going
on in this vicinity.
Very few received garden seeds
from the Red Cross. It seems Page
and Middle Branch are out of range
for such and we surely need it as well
as others. Why so much partiality?
Look out for your car boys or it
will get tagged. The state man is
on the round. Got to get your license
whether you have the money to spare
or not. Poor old Dobbin can’t go on
the road and plow too. He did well
to live on short rations, sometimes so
short there were none.
We over heard a party say why
taxes are just as bad as if we had a
big crop. The other replied of course
we have to take care of all those fine
roads, feed the paupers and educate
the children (they don’t diminish),
etc., why how could the taxes be cut?
We think if we could buy a farm to
care for the poor and help themselves,
some would find another way. “They
ge over the hill to the poor house.”
The following is a clipping from a
Blair, Neb., paper:
“In grading examination pepers there

4. Ft. Sumter—A fort located on

5. Woodrow Wislon put us into war

8. Benedict Arnold betrayed Arbor

9. Battle of Gettysburg was a battle
where 1000 men were killed and they
later turned it into a grave yard.
10. Two types of cattle are dairy
and butterfat.
11. The Panama Canal is u place j
dug out between North and South

what the hell. This is a small town

an unrecorded coat of barn paint, t’a
not because it’s too trivial and undig
