All papers are marked according to inter national rules. Small boys and marbles are a com bination which usually predicts spring to the people of Grand Rapids. The insistent wind and sun of the past week have melted much of the snow and driven off the water so that there are many spaces of dry sidewalk on which the boys can set up their gal leries of marble “kings.” “Commies,” “glassies,” “aggies” and “steelies” are the names heard shouted above the din of the shooters. Three boys seat ed on the sidewalk with a marble of the more rare kind in front of them will gather, in the more common “commies” until the big marble has passed into the possession of one of the lucky shooters. If that combina tion is a sure sign of spring, then spring is here. oo oo F SOUTH SAND LAKE | o o oo oo Mrs. Nelson and Edith Wahlberg were business callers at Spring Lake on Monday.

Gi The sudden death of one of our most beloved and highly esteemed women, Mrs. Gust Torbenson, brought sorrow (and mourning to many hearts and homes in our vicinity. God claimed His own Monday evening, Feb. 27, at about 8 o’clock. i Mrs. Torbenson has been suffering for several years from kidney and liver trouble. Although these organs did not cause her great distress until re cently, as time went by they gradually brought upon the deceased days of misery and suffering, especially her last. The Saturday preceding her death she attended a community meeting at the Rahier schoolhouse and the next day visited with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Erickson. On both these days, she complained of fever and sick headaches, and at about 12 o’clock Sunday night she became unconscious, from which she never revived. Two doctors were summoned and every effort was made to restore consciousness, but all in vain. Asborg Olson was born Dec. 20, 1883, in Norway. She came to America about twenty years ago and visited for some time at the A. Grundyson home at Fisher, where she met Mr. Torbenson. They were married In 1903 at Walla, N. D., where they made their home for about three years. In November of the next year they came to Effie, where they settled on a homestead enduring many hardships in their little log cabin. They were blessed with three children, Bergit, Thelma and Olaf, who brought sunshine with them and another home made happy until the shadows fell and took away the mother, but God’s will, not ours, be done. Mrs. Torbenson was a member of the Fredhetm Lutheran church here, and a most diligent worker in the Fred heim Ladies’ Aid. Her many friends and co-workers will sadly miss her at their meetings. Funeral services were held at the home and Lutheran church of Bustitown. Rev. Ersin, the pastor, read the funeral rites, and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery ad joining the church lot. Since Thou from death didst rise again, In death Thou wilt not leave me; Lord. Thy ascension soothes my pain. No fear of death shall grieve me; ' For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And thus with joy I can depart, to be with Thee forever. Friends and relatives, from far and near, were present on Friday to pay their last respects to one they all loved and respected. The beautiful floral of ferings showed the high esteem held by all for the deceased. Besides the grieved friends and neighbors, a husband, two daughters, son, and brother are left to mourn the departure of our loved one. Mr. and Mrs. A. Grundyson and Mr. and Mrs. Osmanson of Fisher, and Ole Torbenson of Grand Forks were out of town at tendants at the funeral. To the sorrowing husband, children and brother, we extend our deepest sympathy. Tanlac is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks, because it creates a healthy appetite for wholesome food and strengthens and invigorates the digestive organs.
