“SOMEWHERE IN SONORA”
By W. D. Raley
Clifton high school will be repre-
sented in extemporaneous speaking
and essay writing this year by Dor-
othy Rea and Elma Wiederaenders,
respectively. These two young ladies
are working hard on the one hundred
subjects assigned for these events,
and this, coupled with the fact that
both are very capable students,
means that Clifton will be well repL
resented in these two divisions.
The high school band and senior
glee club entertained the student body
with a musical program in chapel
Tuesday morning, and the program
was one of the best for the year.
These student organizations are doing
splendid work this year, and have a
great deal to do with making school
life interesting and attractive. It is
well to note, too, that good music is
a powerful factor in building the
right kind of character. Music has be-
come well established in the curricu-
lum of Clifton Public School, and it
undoubtedly deserves the attention
which is given to it. All chapel pro-
grams are open to the public and are
held at 8:35 on Tuesday mornings.
Robert Baldridge, Jr. will represent
Clifton in the tennis singles finals to
be held at Valley Mills this

A “post season” cold snap hit this
section last week, but it is not gener-
ally believed that the low temperature
caused any material damage to the
fruit crop or gardens.
Mr. Bernt Bertelson is getting
along nicely with the construction of
his new barber shop. The contract was
let to Messrs. Jurgan Jorgenson and
son, Jacob, of Clifton, which will in-
sure first class workmanship. The
building is a concrete structure and
should withstand many a “close
shave.” When completed Mr. Bertel-
son should have one of the nicest
barber shops in the county.
Mr. and. Mrs. Jens Pederson of
Hamilton were pleasant visitors in
this section over the week-end.
Mr. J. K. McSpadden of Clifton
paid our city a visit today and while
here reminded his friends that he
was in the race for County Judge.
Mr. 0. J. Bronstad has been mak-
ing regular visits to Meridian this
week, serving as a grand juror. The
sheriff has not come over to issue any
further invitations so we take it that
this section is in a good shape. -
Messrs. 0. E. Boettcher and John
Godager of Clifton were pleasant vis-
itors in our city Wednesday of this
week.
Rev. Jno. Olson of Decorah, former-
ly with the Seamen’s Mission in Gal-
veston, preached to the local Luther-
an congregation Sunday and will
preach again next Thursday night.
Rev. Olson possesses a distinct nat-
uralness and sincerity that has made
him a great favorite in this section.
Hon. O. B. McPherson of Cleburne
was a pleasant visitor in this section
Monday announcing his aspiration to
the District Judgeship in the coming
election.
Mr. M. J. Berlteson who is at home
on a visit with his family was over
in the Rainbow section Monday pros-
pecting. *
Among those who attended the
Fat Stock Show this year were: Mr.
and Mrs. Lawrence Orbeck, H. F.
Hanson, 0. J. Bronstad, Martin Peder-
Bon, Anton Johnson, C. P. Bronstad,
Monroe Sorenson and Paul Grimland.
Mrs. 0. C. Knudson who underwent
a severe operation at the Baylor
hospital at Dallas in January, re-
turned Friday of last week. Mrs.
Knudson has spent a great part of
the time in the hospital since last
August. Her many friends hope how-
ever that she is now on the road to
permanent recovery.
Mrs. E. C. Gaustad of Clifton
moved to our city Monday of this
week to make her future home. Mrs.
Gaustad is well known here and her
large circle of friends are glad to
welcome her as one of our citizens.
Mrs. G. 0. Bronstad, Miss Margu-
rite Bronstad, Mr. and Mrs. Chris L.

press delight with the service the
children are enjoying. These children
are enjoying the free bus service to
and from school each day—and on ac-
count of this school consolidation andI
this bus service the roads through
this community have been greatly im-
proved. This school consolidation with
the added bus service is just one inci-
dent of its kind which has been in-

Wilbur Sparks, a son of Mr. ant'
Mrs. Jim Sparks living a few miles
west of Clifton, and one of the star
players on the Turkey Creek basket
ball team, has one of the most unique
ways of capturing rattle snakes of
anyone who has reported to the Rec-
ord up to this time. Last week Wil-
bur found a den of these reptiles im-
bedded under a cliff of rocks just a
short distance from his home and tied
a large fish hook to the end of a pole,
and in one afternoon dragged from
that one den sixty-five rattle snakes
and killed them. He said many of
them were large ones. Wilbur was
disappointed to some degree to learn
that the snake bounty exchequer had
been depleted and he was not paid
for his catch; however, he said he
enjoyed the sport. Clifton folks may
yet make up more funds to pay for
these and other snakes many of our
citizens have killed by the hundreds
recently.
16th bobcat caught in this county
since the trapping was started last
summer. In addition to this 75 wolves
have been caught. This has been a
great help to this county as the
amount of poultry as well as sheep
and goats that these animals have
destroyed can hardly be estimated.
This particular bobcat had been a
regular visitor for several days to a
farmer’s flock just north of Morgan,

and had cost this one
small sum from the loss to his flock.
