REDBY AND PONEMA m. Frank Brun threshed about 250 bushels of oats from his farm. We are very sorry, that. Mr. Brun met with such a serious accident. i Hay seems to be very scarce this year, as the season was so wet at haying time and the farmers were obliged to spend much of their time taking care of their grain. N Gilbert Lussier has again traded his farm, he will live near the Agency now. We hope to have the Farmers Club operating in full blast soon. Mrs. Curtis A. Smith has been very successful in the poultry business this summer, having raised about 250. chickens. We would like to see more poultry around the farm homes and not so many worthless dogs. Farmers have been very busy preparing for winter. CROSS LAKE SCHOOL ITEMS The boiler is now being installed in the new laundry. For the first time in the history of the school here is enough water, the-new drilled well being very satisfactory. A number of these Indians are hauling hay, etc. preparatory to going to the camp for the winter, Miss Meilicke from Bemidji is one of the teach ers in the school. The ice is very poor on the lake yet. We have had no cold weather so far. The school has much freight at Redby to haul across this winter on the ice. The logging camp is in full blast again. There has not been a single case of influenza, at Cross Lake so far. Mr. A. C. Goddard, Agency engineer, has spent the past week at Cross Lake assisting in the in stallation of the boiler in the laundry. Everything is hustle and hurry in the class rooms getting ready for the Christmas exercises. The little ones are delighted with the bright red stockings they have to drill with. Miss Meilicke's room is very pretty with Christ mas blackboard borders, calendars and camels. The windows each have a red star or bell in them. The primary class are studying, the combinations from 2 to 20. The first graders are doing fine with subtraction. If you want to see some interested boys just drop-:' in Miss Meilicke's room.about 12:45.
