The local Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary on Monday evening at their hall. Besides their regular members, several outsiders were invited as guests. Their splendid program consisted of singing, led by Rev. Benedict, a reading by Mrs. Nels Olson on King David, brief talks by Mrs. Boyer and George Blood, a duet by Rev. Benedict and Lucille Berry, a solo by Mrs. Earl Crum and the address of the evening by Mr. Peck of Herman. A light lunch was served, after which the late evening was spent in a social hour. The Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs are royal entertainers and have a real live lodge that they can be justly proud of.

To the wool growers: Get our prices before selling your wool, if the farmers could pool all their wool together and bring it in all together in one day, we could pay a special premium. We also pay highest cash market prices for cream, eggs, hides and poultry. Give us a trial. Benson Produce Col. H. Johnson, local manager. Phone 99, Glenwood, Minn.

A new fashion for America! Birthday celebrations for railroad trains! When the North Coast Limited leaves Chicago April 29 for its 70-hour run to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, it will carry an anniversary greeting to the mayor of every city and town along its route in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The North Coast Limited begins its silver anniversary year April 29. For a quarter of the century it has been the standard bearer of Northern Pacific passenger service. A 1500-pound birthday cake was made by the dining car department chefs in honor of the occasion. They declare it to be the largest and finest birthday cake ever baked. Tiny cake boxes of greeting have gone to ticket agents all over the United States.

Mr. and Mrs. “Cassie” Wollan and son went to La Crosse, Wis., Monday and will make that their future home. Mr. Wollan goes there as the future business manager of the Lutheran hospital of that place.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, May 2, 1924

The Glenwood Circuit of the Norwegian Lutheran Church will hold its spring convention in Starbuck Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 27, 28 and 29 of May. Starbuck is very favorably located within our circuit, so that, with good roads and weather, we may expect upwards of 1500 or more to attend this convention. The large circuit tent has been ordered for the occasion so as to insure plenty of room. The important thing at this time is to remind the people of this meeting.

The Swedish Comedy play at the Du Glada last Saturday evening proved a huge success. Those present declared it to be one of the best plays that has ever appeared here. On account of the heavy rain many were unable to be present and the manager decided on a return engagement for next Sunday evening. Prices are advertised as the same as for Saturday evening.
