I A R E R E RS EEEE BB x PENNINGTON * IR E R E R R EREEREES RS Nearly two hundred people helped this little village celebrate the Fourth in good American style. Mu- sic, games and sports with and an all-day and all-night dance on the side to liven up old and young alike, were features of the day’s events. Visitors from the surrounding coun- try were much in evidence. Charles J. Lausche returned Satur- day from a business trip to the south central part of the state. He pur- chased a pure bred registered four- teen months’ old Holstein bull from the Edward Fleckenstein farm near St. Cloud.

A Fourth of July picnic was held at Ole Finsand’s home., The day was spent first by serving a picnic dinner. In the afternoon, races were run by almost everybody. It was worth a great deal to see the old men run. They ran as if they were young boys once more. The tug of war was one of the contests.

Last Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Blom, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stai and Otena Stai accompanied the Hagens on an auto trip and incidentally spent sev- eral hours in Bemidji. The Hagens bring us the intelligence that crops in the southern part of the state than here due to the fact that they have had more rain than we have and the fires didn’t burn up everything there as they did here this spring. War, What For?” To kill cut worms and if the crops are to be saved this year unrelentness warfare will have to be waged against them. One man has put in four crops of beans and onions this year and the cut worms have destroyed three of them. -Mrs. Bertha Thompson and Mrs. Soland, who have just returned from the Hardanger fair in Wisconsin, were both at the Farmers’ club picnic the Fourth.

J. C. McGh ee, assist- ant superintendent of schools, was orator of the day and gave: us a fine orthodox talk on humam develop- ment. Mr. McGhee homesteaded in Liberty 16 years ago.

The dance was given under the auspices of Wilbur Smith, Dan Due and Abe|x Montieth. Myrick St. Peter, Ole Jacobson and David Hinshaw were the musicians.

DoLaval Gream Separaters The real test of values in Cream Separators is in the service the com- pany that makes the machine gives, the service the agent gives, the easy turning qualities to be found, the low speed at which the bowl has to turn in order to give satisfactory skimming, the interchangeable disc, the crank at just the right height to get away from that tiresome po- sition, the circulating oil system that the De Laval gives with their ma- chine. The oil is delivered to the bearings and is circulated back to the supply source, thus passing straight through the bearings, de- livered to the disc outside the cream wall, where in other makes it is de- livered inside the cream wall, thus breaking the cream wall and carry- ing cream already skimmed back in- to your machine for re-skimming.
