Glenwood High School to hold its biggest carnival

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, April 10, 1924

Blanche C. Anderson, of Glenwood, and Myrtle E. Peterson, of Farwell, were graduated from the school of agriculture at University Farm, St. Paul, at the thirty-fifth annual commencement exercises, held last week. Eighty-eight young men and women were given their certificate of graduation by Dr. L.D. Coffman, president of the University of Minnesota.

April 11 is the date for the biggest carnival ever put on in the G. H. School. There is going to be everything from a fish pond to a brass band. The whole object of the carnival is to give you the liveliest evening you ever had. It is going to be a humorous affair, and we would advise your wearing a tight-fitting coat in case you laugh so much that you break a windpipe or something.

Community Day Program. An invitation is extended to all who see this sheet to come in and enjoy the day next Saturday in Glenwood. The following program will be given: 1:30, Address by representative of State Prison at Stillwater. 2:00, Moving picture show at the McCauley opera house. 4:00, Band concert at Minton Hotel square. 4:30, Calf contest at the Minton Hotel square. Tickets for the free movie and the calf contest can be procured at any time at the office of the Glenwood Land & Loan Co.

Milk Cows Wanted. Wish to buy 10 to 25 head good milk cows for dairy farm in this vicinity. Write me full particulars of what you have.—J.E. Griffith, Glenwood.

The annual meeting of the assessors of Pope County was held at the court house yesterday, nearly all the assessors of the county being in attendance. These meetings are in the nature of schools of instruction and are held in each county of the state prior to May 1st, the date when the assessment of property begins. J.G. Armson, a member of the Minnesota Tax Commission, was in attendance at the meeting and addressed the assessors at considerable length. He explained the assessment laws in detail and answered many questions relating to the powers and duties of assessors.

Four thousand green ash trees, four to five feet high, remain of the 1924 supply for planting in state parks and along state highways, according to an announcement from the office of G.M. Conzett, state forester, St. Paul. The plantings are undertaken locally, as a rule, and by civic organizations. C.M. Babcock, state highway commissioner, promised reasonable assistance from state highway patrolmen toward caring for any young trees, but correspondence should be addressed to Mr. Conzett, it was announced.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, April 11, 1924

On Wednesday afternoon, amid a vast concourse of people, relatives and friends from far and near, the body of Mrs. Forde was laid to rest in the Indherred churchyard. A cool northwest breeze was blowing and the sun looked out from behind the clouds as her son, Rev. G.O. Forde, who became pastor in his father’s stead at his death, performed the sad rites. Mrs. Forde, whose maiden name was Nora Etelie Erickson, was born at Paint Creek, near Lansing, Iowa on November 15, 1862, daughter of W.O. Erickson and his wife, Haakine.

Mr. B.E. Nye, representative of the Northern Produce Co., was a caller at the TIMES office a few days ago. Mr. Nye was enthusiastic for the new system of grading eggs and believes that it will result in giving the farmer who cares for his poultry a better price for his eggs. Eggs are being graded according to size and color, new laid fresh, small and dirty and cracks and checks. Eggs, no matter how large or fresh are graded No. 2 if they have been washed. To grade clean the eggs must have been laid in a clean nest. An effort is being made to have the railway company permit eggs to be shipped Wednesdays and Saturdays, and he says farmers will make more money by marketing their eggs twice a week. California eggs, which are graded bring 6 to 10c more on the market and in some places as high as 15c.
