Triplets Thriving on 81-Acre McMillan Farm
Mr and Mrs L A Pritchard of McMillan celebrate healthy triplet girls born last December. The trio, unnamed and kept as numbers, grow on an 81 acre farm with two older children, while the mother runs the household and cares for all. The family remains popular and none of the children have suffered major illnesses aside from a spring measles. In a separate incident, drayman Gust Helm was badly cut when a 650 pound X ray machine fell on him while unloading at Dr K W Daeges office. He was rescued and treated, with no damage to the machine. City politics note that Judge W A Pors declined to qualify for justice of the peace, creating a vacancy Mayor Upham plans to fill soon with a candidate of public spirit.
