From Magrath, Mr.& Mra.Joe Alston, Ira Fletcher,C.S.Matkin,J.A.Ririe and Mrs. Irene Strang. Refreshments, supper and a birthday cake. A poem of 16 verses entitled "How Honnie raised the kitchen sink",com­posed by Mrs. Heninger and read by Marva Nalder. The poem tells how Mrs. Heninger took the Bull by the horns, to remodel the home from top to bottom."Out went the old and in came the new." A musical program followed. The Bishop is very proud of his talented family,Mr.& j Mrs. Whitney Heninger,Mr.& Mrs. Morgan Heninger and Mr.& Mrs.Jimmie Heninger.Othei numbers were duets by Mr.& Mrs. J.E.Harker, Mr.& Mrs. Ira Fletcher,Mrs.Irene Strang and Mrs.Mary Fletcher McMullen.Pianist Emma Dahl. Ellis and John Heninger commenced operations in Magrath at the turn of the century with a few horses, a hand plow,and they never turned back."Hard times come again no more." Later,Ellis on Easy Street moved to Raymond, the head quarters of the L.D.S.Stake and the Sugar City Municipality The dwelling place of men of easy circum­stances. He told his ne'er-do-well brethern when he left that he wanted to be near the Sugar Factory, close to the pulp pit. We read where men of 75 should go into politics to round out their careers.The next decade for the Bishop (, forgetting the past) should be one of service to his generation.

A meat salesman Monday was bemoaning the fact that the meat business was falling off. At Pincher Creek in particular he said everyone has their lockers full of elk and other wild game. Their buyer for the Co. is at present in New Zealand buying up New Zealand lambs to dump on the Canadian market to further de­press lamb prices.How does the sheepman feel that has lambs to sell and the feeder with his feedlots full?
