RANDOLPH - Paul Strathman and his son Henry returned to Randolph Saturday after an absence of over two months, most of this time being spent in Germany.
The Randolph men sailed from New York June 25 and left the shores of Germany on Aug. 14.
Mr. Strathman visited entirely in the Holstein locality where he has a brother and a brother-in-law and also a number of cousins.
He was agreeably surprised to find many more old friends than he expected to see. Mr. Strathman says the German people are going ahead as well as they are able and business men seem prosperous.
There is, however, in the cities many unemployed, a condition which prevails in this country and in England and therefore Germany is not alone in this regard.
Those who did have positions or regular work seemed to be getting along nicely enough.
They took a trip into the Rhine country and to Berlin and had a splendid time seeing the sights. While the trip was a nice one, the U.S. looks pretty good after all.

RANDOLPH — At a congregational meeting of St. John’s Lutheran church of Randolph a call was extended to Rev. Henry Stave of Talmadge, Neb., and the call has been accepted. Rev. Stave has been pastor at Talmadge for 17 years and his services there have been attended with success. He comes to Randolph by unanimous vote of the congregation, and his pastorate here is looked forward to with pleasant expectations.
Rev. Stave concludes his work at Talmadge, Sept. 13, and during that week will move his family to Randolph.
His family consists of his wife, two sons and one daughter, an older daughter being married.

RANDOLPH - Kenneth Cook, who has been doing some editorial work on the Times for the past three months, returns to his university studies at Lincoln this Saturday.
Kenneth is taking a course in journalism and his work during vacation on the Times has given him a practical insight into the working of a country newspaper.
Times readers, we are sure, have enjoyed “Kenny’s” effort to give them some good stories each week. The young man has the “nose” for news and the ability as a writer to make a fine newspaper man.

RANDOLPH - R. J. Hickey is highly pleased with his early fall pig crop.
Within the past 10 days seven sows in Mr. Hickey’s herd of pure bred Poland Chinas, have farrowed 61 pigs and saved 48, an average that is very excellent.
Mr. Hickey is just now making plans for his fall sale for Nov. 6, at which 40 head of boars and gilts will be offered at auction.
