o KR KKK KK KKK KKK KK x LIBERTY i*{**i#&n«li###t* Mrs. Emma Helmer left last Mon- day for Edgewood, Iowa, after a very pleasant and prolonged stay in Liberty. Fank Jarechy was a Wilton' busi- ness visitor Thursday. The Deer Lake school closed at 11 o'clock Friday due to the illness of Miss ' Owen, the teacher. Tuesday and Wednesday many of the Libertyites were Bemidji visit- ors. Among those who transacted Pusiness were J. W. McKee, Gus Lo- vik, Joseph and Thomas Jadlowski, Gus Christianson, ~Wilbur Smith, Arthur M. Crapo, Louis A. Hanson, Iver Myhre, Charles Anderson, M. A. Djonne, M. Rygg, Ole Jacobson and Mr. and Mrs, James F. Hayes. As many of these people made the trip over the Wilton road, the one who boke the road must have had a regular, sized picnic. At the present time there are four graduates of the Deer Lake school in the Bemidji high school. They are Lydia Hayes,” Edith and Agnes Jacobson and Charles McKee. Last week the reports for the first six weeks' period were out. Ye writer had the pleasure of seeing two of those , report cards and the marks we’l}e most gratifying. Charles is a freshman and is carrying four sub- jects. ' His lowest mark was 89. Lydia Hayes is -in the. normal de- partment, has six subjects and her marks were all over 80. I do not know how Edith and Agnes Jacob- son came out but no doubt they did good work. Now, it so happens that these four students are all working their way through.. They are the workers of the world, not the shirk- ers! Do you get me, reader dear? If there is any one who can take off his hat with any more grace than 1 can to such students, I would like to. shake hands with them. Cer- tainly these four are making a good record for themselves and the little red school house from whence they _came. If thie rest of the children in the Deer Lake school do as well, Mr. Crapo can feel that his five years were not spent in vain. H. A. Fladhammer was a Bemidjij visitor Wednesday. Gust Swanberg was a visitor Thursday. * It has often occurred to me whether the women :from the coun- try ever avail themselves of the blessings to be found in the Bemidji Public Library when they are in town. 1 have always maintained that the public library is the most democratic institution we have and that the librarians—no matter whera they are—are the most efficient, courteous and obliging public offi- clals we have. Miss Mills is no ex- ception and when I am very limited for time and rush in breathlessly tc do an hour’s work in five minutes, Miss Mills is ever ready to assist. 1 would suggest that if any of you are wondering what kind of books you should buy for your children or friends for Christmas, the librar- jan is always an excellent advisor. The public library is one delightful place to spend any spare moments that one may have. Mrs. Frances Pierce and Mrs. Mpyrtle Spore were Puposky visitors Wednesday. William Foster ‘and Fred Rich- mond of Winnibega have been spend- ing a few days with Mrs. Cornelia Pierce and son, George. They re- turned home Tuesday. Eric Tostrude has been living in Sharon, N. D., for nearly a year. He returned Thursday. He will re- main at home for a few days and is then going away to work. " Theodore Westgaard was a Pine- wood visitor Saturday. - Mrs. Myrtle Spore was a Bemidji visitor Saturday. Fred , Welter returned last week from Dakota where he has been working for several months. Adelbert and Walter Hall and Willie Olson, all of Eckles, favored us with their presence at the shadow social Saturday night. 0. E. Soland, a Civil war veteran and one of the first settlers in this township. has just returned from a delightful trip in Dixie Land. He attended the national encampment of the Blue and Gray at Vicksburg, Miss. He said he had the time of his life. The inclement weather was no barrier to the varents and friends Bemidji of the pupils of the Deer Lake scheol when they gave their pro- gram Saturday mnight. And Miss Owen. who was so ill Friday that scheol was dismissed in the morning “buckled on her armor” and took charge of the affair which she had put so much time and effort into. And she must have felt highly re- paid for her efforts for the children all did their parts well. The pro- gram was as follows: Singing by all—America. Dialogue—‘‘Hallowe’en Children,” by Hedvig Carlson, Dorothy McKee, Raymond Smith, EIf Djonne, Ed- ward and Walter Pierce, Henry Tis- dell and Willard Hanson. Recitation—*“Tommy’s Troubles,” by Mary Tisdell. Song—*“When the Frost is On the Pumpkin,” school. Recitation—*“All Hallowe'en,” by Dorothy McKee. b Dialogue—*The Five Jack Lan- terns,” by Raymond, EIf, Henry, ‘Willard and Edward. Reading—"Irish Witticism,” by Karen Ruggsvan. Song—*That Good Old Pumpkin Pie,” school. Dialogue—‘“The Questioner,” by Edith Hayes and Walter Pierce. Dialogue—"“The Five Little Gob- Recitation — “O1d = Hallowe'en Friends,” Mabel Djonne. Song—*“Canning the school. Reading—“The Folly of Telling Lies,” Edith Hayes. Dialogue—‘‘Jack’s. Goblins,” by Karen Ruggsvan, Esther Hayes, Melvin Jacobson, Bertha Djonne, Mary Tisdell, Hedyig Carlson, Ray- mond Smith, Walter ':¢nd Edward Pierce. g Song—*“Farewell to Thee,” Miss Annie Owen. After the program came the auc- tioning of the shadows with J. W. McKee as auctioneer and Fred Hayes as collector. After the lucky men had dined with shadows, a dance followed. . Ole ~ Jacpbson, George Pierce and Leonard Myhre furnished Kalser,'v' by the music. Wilbur Smith was the floor director. The amount realized was $21.75. This is to be used in getting an outfit for preparing hot lunches for the children. Martin Jamtvold of Roosevelt was a Liberty visitor Saturday and at- tended the program in the evening. Miss. Annie Owen, who sang two golos in «ne program, is teaching in the Moller school in Roosevelt. She is Miss Ruth Owen’s sister. Not all the enthusiasm could be claimed by the adults in bidding for “shadows” at the woclal. No, siree! Some of the “kids” _were right there with the goods. ‘Walter Pierce bid on several and finally landed Edith Hayes. Raymond Smith, the rosy cheeked six-year-old son of Wilbur Smith, landed two girls, Mary Tisdell and Esther Hayes. s Did you notice what a fine little fairy Hedvig Carlson made in the dialogue “Jack’s Goblins?” And do not forget the regular monthly meeting of the Socialist lo- cal next Sunday at 2:30 o’clock in the Deer Lake school. Everybody welcome. November 7, at the home of Pete Olson, the Farmers’ club will make merry. Let ye all get together and £0. ETEEE SRR ER B0 B x GRANT VALLF” * X KKK KKK KKK XX Mrs. T. J.
