PIPE DECEMBER How doth December greet us now, With wind and snow and cold am how; But though the weather is severe, December brings us Christmai cheer. I IP Or at least it brings Christmas cheer to nearly everyone. And 11 will bring some Christmas cheer to everyone in Mason City if all who can will donate a bit to the Christ- mas'cheer fund. I 1 THE LOW PRICED LUTEFISK In our Friday ad several kinds of FISH were listed at lOc per pound. THIS WAS WRONG.

Lutefisk, only, sells at this price. Bros. Ad. 1 IP How come the fragrant lutefisk should sell at such a moderate price, the ad fails to state. Can it be there is an extreme lack of demand for this maritime delicacy? Or is it be cause those who love it most are victims of financial embarrassment? Can it be toe supply exceeds the demand or is the demand less than the supply? Alas, we do not know.

But it appears that something should be done at once tc stabilize and strengthen the retail selling price of Norway's national dish. I Perhaps something could done towards controling the production of lutefisk. If the acreage could be reduced or smaller families of lutefisk be raised, it would flo much for the industry. Lutefisk farmers will do well to give this matter their earnest consideration and take such action as will produce immediate and desired results. I J-P A lovely bird is the lutefisk, As it flits from flower to flower; It.likes to sit on the verdant lawn, And note each passing hour.

'p I J-P Happiness Can Be Bought It is often stated that one can't buy happiness. But such is not the case. A contribution to the Christmas cheer fund will buy gobs and gobs of happiness, not only for those who donate, but for those who otherwise would have but little, if any, Christmas or Christmas cheer. I 1 We notice the Globe-Gazette has been spelling it Lu Verne, Iowa. The railroads spell It Luverne, both in Iowa and the one in Minnesota.

T. Pipe: Did I get razzed yea terday. When out for my afternoon ride I passed up two hitch hikers with my nose in the air and an jn- sulting wave of' my hand. A mile and a half later they passed me in a Buick while I'was changing a tire. And did I get a razzing? 1 did.

I 1 How doth the merry hiker hitch, A ride from here to there, And though he often is ignored, He never seems to care. I -I Simile: As inaccessible as the state park at Clear Lake. I J-P G. O. P.

IS XOT DEAD Well, maybe not. Perhaps it is halitosis or B. O. 1 1 tt the justly famous G. O.

P. isn't dead, the spark of life is glowing mighty dim within it. If we. were as- near to our last fatal illness as it is, we would be worrying more about the next life than this one. Yet while there is life there is hope and the grand old party may yet be revived and serve its country with great enthusiasm and ability.

PI IN DATS OF YORE, THE G. O. SERVED WELL OUR LAND, OF LIBERTY. I Mr. Eye'in his'justly famous "column recently had an interesting tern about spectacles, how and why wear them and when.

He says wearing of 'glasses at the age of 30 to 35 is an expectable event and should be indulged in when necessary. We believe however that is is about 10 years off on the average spectacle wearing expectancy. Doctor Murphy, local eminent eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist de-luxe informed us one time that 45 was the spectacle age of mankind and persons reaching that age would do well to investigate the necessity of being proper- glassed. Which we doubt not the good doctor knew whereof he spoke. Epworth League Chapters to Meet in Nora Springs NORA SPRINGS, Dec.

HOW WESLEY RECEIVED ITS NAME From Man Who Erected Section House in 1870.

WESLEY, Dec. dates back to the fall of 1871 and its growth is recorded from a few score citizens to 1,000 and back again to 500. In 1869, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul railroad. was slowly being laid through Kossuth county with its first trains west in the fall of 1870.

A station and section house were erected in early 1870 by a man named Wesley and in his memory the town began to flourish. Wesley township dates back to June 5, 1871, when it was platted by the board of supervisors with its first settler, A. K. Kennedy, coming here in 1865. The government post- office was opened in 1871 with S.

B. Ormsby, the first postmaster. Comslock and Baker erected the first store in 1873 with the second building erected being a 24 by 24 foot hotel famously known as the "Wesley House." Warehouse Was Built. Then followed S. S.

Bossford who dealt in grain service and built a warehouse for this purpose. The first coal dealer was M. Taylor with George W. Eddy operating the first livery. Frank Hume established a lumber and coal enterprise.

The Exchange State bank in celebrating its golden anniversary last May recalled the second small store managed by F. M. Butts, father of our present locat banker, Guy M. Butts, who received his first bookkeeping experience in his father's store where cash deposits were left in their safe keeping. The first depositor, Nathan Studer, is one of Wesley's oldest and most respected citizens of today.

Hugh McCutchin and Lawso'n began successful mercantile careers, and both at present have members of their families in present day Wesley circles. Hay Pressing Center. For years, beginning in 1880, Wesley's popularity as a hay pressing center was spread far and wide and did much to attract the grow- ng population until it reached the 1,000 mark. McCutchin and Sexton began the business with a second press being started in 1882 by Edward Kunz, Sr, whose children to this day have some of the best es-. tablished businesses in the town.

In 1893 R. B. Hopkins began his duties and has continually served as station agent since. Within a short time he will be eligible for a pension. Mrs.

M. J. Colby was Westly's first teacher, in 1873, and was followed a few years later by Herbert Quick, nationally known author and scholar. The First Methodist church was organized by Obed Robinson in 1873 who formed a class of six members. The Catholic church has it beginning dated 1891 with Father H.

C. Eckert of St. Benedict. Soon thereafter a third church was started, the 'ongregational church. Greene Farmer Has Rare Collection of Antiques Real Estate Transfers Huff, Florence and husband to Victor D.

There are more than 500 American Indian relics many of which were found on the home farm, some pottery used by the mound builders and pewter, Brittaina glassware and China.
