Both mother and baby are doing nicely. The Peirce mill has been shut down for some time, due to the death of Luther Peirce and the illness of George Peirce. Last Monday, it started again. Judging from the piles of logs around the mill, sawing activities will eontinue for some time. Frank McKee has been operating the R. B. Hayes sawing outfit around Puposky. Ole Jacopson was a Wilton busi- ness visitor last Friday. It isn’t often that the boys of any school can beat the girls in scholar- ship but that is what happened in the Deer Lake school last week. Three girls and two boys took the state examinations. The boys were the youngest. Charles McKee passed in all the subjects with his lowest mark 88 per cent. Melvin Jacobson, who is only eleven years of age, got passed plus in two subjects. Keep up your good work, boys! Amos Montieth moved from the Helmar place last week to the Dike farm. Mr. Montieth bought eighty acres.of the Dike farm last year. He expects to start building soon. Richard Kelm was a Bemidji vis- itor last Tuesday. Last Friday, the stork stalked forth again and ’'neath his wing he carried a little girl and left her at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Dan Bue. This is the first visit the stork has ever made to the House of Bue, so congratulations are in order. The next meeting of the Larkin club will be at the home of Mrs. Mickel Djonne. The regular monthly meeting of tne Socialist local was held last Sun- day at the home of Ole Jacobson. After the business, Mrs. Jacobson served dinner and then followed an hour of music. Dan Dike and family who have been 1iving on the Summerfield farm for the past year, moved in the Hel- mar house where they will abide un- til the Deer Lake school closes. Nick McCartney was a Bemidji vis- itor last Thursday. & It is with much pleasure that the Larkin club can announce a lecture on the suffrage movement some time this month by Mrs. Charles F. Mol- ler of Pinewood. Mrs. Fred Hayes will read a very humorous poem by S. E. Kiser entitled “Ma Can’t Vote.” It is hoped that an informal recep- tion will be held after the lecture at the home of Mrs. J. W. McKee. This will give the members of the club a chance to become better ac- quainted with Mrs. Moller.
