ROSELAWN' \ William Boyle was a Monon ■visitor last- Week. Malcom Rice was confined to his home Sunday with a severe cold. Dorothy Rogers and Mary Jane Phillips were in Rensselaer Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hopper are moving to a farm north of Lowell this week. Miss~Raye McCortney went to Rensselaer Monday to accept a pdsTtftn in the telephone office. The Hon. Zack Sie'fers Of Salem. Indiana, was in Roselawn several days the pagt week on business. , Mrs. J l . W. Crooks came up. from Rensselaer Saturday and with her husband .attended the Hoppe'r-Heb-ard wedding, J. W. (rooks was a Chicagobound passenger Sunday morning on the milk train, returning on ' the same train Sunday evening. Mrs. John SallOe and son went to Hammond Monday evening where her husband is employed and expect to make their future home there. Sunday was about the most disagreeable day we have experienced in many a year in this neck of the woods. With the wind and snow and extreme cold it was impossible to be out doors with any degree of comfort, and as for traveling on the roads either with buggy or auto, we failed to see any such vehicles in town. Everybody seemed satisfied to remain at. home and enjoy the comforts of a welLheated fireside. J ' *■ Roger Smith and Fred Nelson attended a stock sale Over north of Shelby January 30 and report cattle, hogs and other farm products as bringing very high prices. Mr. Smith bought a cow at the sale for S7O and thought he was paying a good; round price, but he was overtaken on his way home with his purchase by a farmer living southeast of Roselawn, who persuaded him to accept SBO for the critter, and now M r - Smith is wondering whether he made $lO easy money

or the other fellow got the bargain, as good cows are hard to find short of SBS to SIOO. An Explanation. Husband—Here's that ..Id joke again pertaining to the difficulty of finding a 'woman’s pocket. Now it's easy enough to find a man's pocket. ' Wise —Well, that’s as it should be. A nian has no business with a woman's po<-k<u. while a woman has with a man's —because she needs the money.
