Can You Top This?
Oelkers Froz-n Foods displayed an onion measuring 14 ½ inches across. That tops one mentioned in the papers last week measuring 14 inches.

More Fun!
J.B. Gregoire had a lot of fun last week.
It all started when he received a check for 50c on the purchase of a pair of Key overalls (and overalls only) from Maas’ Store.
He endorsed it over to Mrs. G.A. Gahler at the bakery to pay for a cup of coffee and she didn’t pay any more attention to it. Then it got turned over to Oelkers’ Froz-n Foods, where it escaped notice. It wasn’t discovered until the efficient bankers spotted it in a deposit from Oelkers’.
Never were so many people fooled or so much fun had with a 50c check.

IN THE SERVICE
Pfc. John Evenson left Sunday for Ft. Lawton, Wash., after visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Evenson for two weeks.
