Parcel post handling quickened at rural windows, with officials noting package flows exceeded last year.

Fire Destroys Linden Farm Home of G J Grossmann
Fire of unknown origin last Wednesday night drove the family from their Linden farm home. The blaze began in the basement near the chimney and spread quickly. Neighbors helped salvage some furniture but most was lost. The house, a recently built, prominent farm residence, was insured for 2800 on the building and 1300 on contents, insufficient to cover the loss. The family moved to the granary, plan to return after the new year. The Toberer property will be vacated as the barber shop moves to the bank basement.
