Vice president, G. A. Norelius; Secretary, J. C. Mengis; Treasurer,
Wm. Sandberg. A. Sedarberg who has so efficiently managed the

Rumors have been originated and peddled broadcast
throughout the land by unscrupulous parties regarding the Farmer's
Lumber and Coal Co., that the manager had to fork out a lot of
cash out of his own pocket to pay indebtedness and that he now
was unable to get same and that the business is not satisfactory.
The entire fabrication originated by the parties is false to
the core with not one word of truth in it. The past years business
was most satisfactory, all obligations paid and cash on hand
at the close of the years business. The manager who holds the
confidence of all, has conducted the business in a most successful
and satisfactory way to the stockholders. In one word the business
done the past year in the manner conducted and the result was
most satisfactory, all obligations met and paid and the balance
in the treasury and all reports by the unscrupulous parties who
have an ax to grind and unable to get anyone to pull the grindstone
for them are false and we understand that if they are not more
careful about lies they will soon run up against the real thing.

last to enjoy the sight in the wild and wooly west and may possibly

The famous piano word guessing contest scheme is being
advertised in our locality again by outside parties who claim
they will offer to the lucky ones coupons ranging from fifty
to a hundred dollars to be credited on the purchase of a piano,
the fact being that they just raise the retail price the amount
which they claim they give away.
The new homes of Gust Sanders and J. E. Hoaglund are
very rapidly being completed for occupancy.
The hail and wind storm which passed through the section

Bjork, August Schurke, F. Blunk and Alfred Clauson and Ed Anderson.

in a northwesterly direction.
E. E. Clauson and wife and Marshal Dolk visited our
neighbor town Schleswig between trains on Friday afternoon.

who should break the law.

the leading Swedish papers may accompany him to Kiron.
Rev. A. Lundmark from Essex, Iowa will visit Kiron
the latter part of the week and will preach at the Mission church
Sunday morning and evening. He will be remembered by many by
his recent visit here during the Free Mission Young People's
conference being president of the same. He has been tendered
a call to become the pastor of the church at Kiron.
The recent damage to the crops by hail has caused
many farmers to investigate what mutual steps could be taken
for aiding the unfortunate ones. The experience of many in the
past with hail Insurance Companies has been most unsatisfactory
although there are a few of those concerns that are all right.
We would suggest a county mutual Insurance Company for the re-imbursement
of crops destroyed by hail and wind. In the recent loss of crops,
the amount distributed among the body of farmers in the county
would be very small but would be quite an item for those who
lost their crops.
