Mrs. Wilbur Smith and son, Ray- mond, returned Tuesday from Iowa. Mr. Smith met them in Bemidji. Mrs. Smith has been spending the winter with her invalid mother. She was much missed and we are glad that &he has returned. Among the Liberty citizens trans- acting business in Bemidji Thursday were M. A. Djonne, Axel Sorenson, Dr. Coy, Johnnie Anderson, Charles Butcher, John and Charles McKee. John McKee was a Redby visitor from Monday until Wednesday. ‘Wilbur W. Smith was a Redby vis- 'Qtor Friday and Saturday. “ Roy Montieth was a Bemidji vis- itor Friday and Saturday. Ole Jacobson was a Bemidji vis- itor Saturday. George Montieth informs me that he has received a letter from his son, Abe, who is in the infantry at Camp Dodge. Thus far, Abe seems ‘to enjoy military life very much. A little chat with Miss Owen, teacher of the Deer Lake school, brings forth the information that she is planning a community picnic for the last day of school and she may have a program as well. Mrs. Everett Wynne returned Sat- urday after a month’s stay in Be- midji. Mrs. Bird Church is interested in organizing a chapter of the Red Cross. Those interested in such an organization should communicate -with Mrs. Church. Misses Anna Olson and Mary Mc- Kee spent the week-end with the home folks. L. A. Hanson says that the most inspiring meeting he has attended in a long time was the Non-Partisan League convention in Bemidji. About thirty delegates were there. The league has only started to organize this county but there was a delegate for each township .they have organ- ized, at the convention. Mr. Han- son says their candidates for the Jegislature are men of reliability and dependability. The Liberty Socialist local held its monthly meeting in the Deer Lake school Sunday. Mrs. James F. Hayes, who repre- sented the Socialists of Liberty at the state convention in Minneapolis, returned home last Wednesday. Af- ter the convention, she visited Al- fred Pierce, the little blind son of Mrs. Frances Pierce, in the state hospital for indigent children. Al- fred is very happy and is very sure that the doctor is coming pretty soon to make his eyes well and then he is - coming back nome. Mrs. Hayes says that it is one of the finest institu- tions she has ever visited. The chil- dren are so well taken care of and are so happy that it is really a bless- ing to be afflicted when one can be taken care of in such a splendid home. After leaving Minneapbolis, Mrs. Hayes spent a week in Deer- wood, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Oberg.

As a matter of fact about as much wood was contributed by Puposky people as Buena Vista people, and as we believe in giving credit where credit is due, some mention of the loyal patriots of Puposky who not only contributed wood but who load- ed the car here as well, should be made. We do not wish to be patted on the back or to throw bouquets at ourselves, but we try to-do our share and we want fair mention of what we do. We are not fond of blowing our own horn, preferring to let oth- ers do that, so our names are with- held. We are merely loyal patriots of Puposky. Editor’s note—That’s the stuff, Puposky. If we got on the wrong track we’'re sorry. Fact is, we were informed that the car of wood in question was contributed by the patriots ‘““in the vicinity of Buena Vista,”” hence the unintentional over- sight on our part. Glad to have you straighten it out for us. We assure you we're “for’” you all up that way, and you may rest assured you fellows got your “horn blowed” for you, both by the Red Cross officers and members of the chapter. Mrs. R. H. Dickenson and daugh- ter passed Monday in Bemidji con- sulting a local doctor. H. M. Clark went to Bemidji Mon- day. Rev. P.

The proceeds were $20.50, which was sent to Superintendent Stewart to be turned into the Red Cross fund. The school is much indebted to Ar- chie Stortroen and Elmer Dokken for the work done by them for the success of the eveming. The school will have arfother Red Cross evening in the early part of May. At that time a quilt- will be raffled. The Fifth grade is now at work on this, [ Y& under the direction of Mrs. Hankey, during the- industrial period.

His many friends are very glad to have him home again, and all con- gratulate him on his recovery from a very severe attack of pneumonia while in Canada. Several forgeries have been com- mitted recently by some one ac- quainted with Saum people. Two checks were drawn on C. G. Hankey which, however, were not cashed. A cash check to Ole Hilblad was taken from the mail by parties at present unknown, and the money se- cured on it at a Bemidji bank. Saum | people will do well to handle their checks carefully and keep in touch with the banks for a while. The school plays are progressing in fine shape and we anticipate an unusually good program. The plays will be given at Saum on April 4, and at Kelliher on the 6th at the; theater. | Saum schools will close for a week’'s vacation April 4.
