It is electrically cooled and Mr. Canada will have to sell a
lot of ice cream and cold drinks to warrant the upkeep of such

down their throats.

the old place to another farm. The boys have been born and reared
on the old home place and all tho neighbors have thought well
of them and altho they do not like to see them move, still when

Niles Neville residing
near Odebolt brought 25 capon roosters to Kiron market Tuesday
which brought him the sum of $62.72, receiving 28¢ per pound.

a better price.

all received shipments of new percales, ginghams, indian head,

things and go to making her other children new dresses. The
colors are so pretty and most of the goods are fast now so it
is a pleasure to make them up.
Three young men from
some point in Wisconsin came into Kiron Saturday afternoon in
a Buick car. They were well dressed, nice appearing young men,
but had run up against hard luck and were broke. They offered
their car for sale and after it was sold the buyer wished to
make sure he was not gypped and notified the sheriff who came
up and investigated matters. He found no indications of any
heinous crime or misdemeanor only that the car still had a mortgage
on it, so he took the young men to Denison to further look into
things. The car is still here.
A shower was given by
a number of friends to Mrs. M. E. Lundell Tuesday afternoon.
