A clever rhymed notice was read in all the wards this past Sunday telling DUP members, in pioneer gowns, would canvass all commun-ittie- s during the week, asking for donations of any foods, meats, and produnce. Up to date the re-sponse has been most gratifying. The foods will be prepared to serve at the supper, and also much of it has been prepared to sell that evening. Such articles as car-rots, potatoes, tomatoes, chickens, cream, corn that were given are being attractively packaged for sale. Housewives may shop then for Sunday dinner. The main attraction, however, is the supper, which the cooks from the DUP promise will be bounteous and seasoned to per-fection. Adults will be charged 75 cents each, and children will be 50 cents each. The DUP thanks all those who have given products, and invites everyone to come to the Harvest Supper.

Here is another Millard native, and aid your deductions and not add to your confusions ,it is statt-e- d that this is a native son, not daughter. This picture was taken from a small stamp photo, remember those? That accounts 'for the small one here. Even so it is about six times larger than the original. And the subject, shown here looking unhappy, is now more than six times heavier than he was when he wore that little ru'ffled coat. One other change has come ab-out. Our lad now has another hair style, and wears his forehead clear hack to his crown. It has been some time since there was anyt-hing more than shine on the top of his head. He has always lived in west Mil-lard, since his birth on Jan 22,1906. He farms and has other interests, too, such as airplanes. He likes them well, and has his private lic-ense. But as his wife is nervous when her husband is up in the air, and doesn't fail to tell him of it, he is spending more and more time on firm earth. Besides farming, since he was !6 years old he has been in busin-ess, busy as a bee. Just this sum-mer he decided to turn the busin-ess, over to a son, and devote his time to farming. Maybe he plots to be a Flying Farmer. He is the father of four children, one daughter and three sons, been a grandfather for several years nw. With this wealth o'f clues, surely you know now who this is. One thing, we would never have guessed ourselves If someone had nt told us.
