HARTINGTON - Rose Castor, 14, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Castor who live west of Belden, has the honor of being valedictorian of the eighth grade pupils of Cedar county who passed in the first examination. Her average was 94.3.
Throughout her school years she has attended the Belden schools, of which Prof. Clifton Churchill is the superintendent, and Miss Grace Scott the teacher of the eighth grade. Her record for each of the eight years has been one of achievement and high scholastic standing, and this honor which is now awarded to her comes from years of study and application.

HARTINGTON - Henry and Max Harlow, who opened their first store here in Hartington about three years ago under the firm name of Harlow Bros., have announced the completion of plans to open another store in Bloomfield.
A new building, prominently located on the principal street, has been leased and is being equipped with fixtures for the new venture. Henry Harlow will go to St. Paul Sunday to buy stock for the new store and also for the spring trade at the local store.
Together with a third brother, John, they opened their second store in Sioux City about three months ago, the venture there proving unexpectedly successful.
John Harlow will continue to manage the Sioux City store and will act as resident buyer there for all three stores and be able to give the Hartington and Bloomfield stores every advantage of market conditions.
The Bloomfield store will be under the personal management of Henry Harlow who will also assist Max in the management of the local enterprise. Both young men are aggressive in their efforts to bring business to Hartington and express the belief that the new venture will increase their ability to serve their patrons to advantage.

COLERIDGE - With the proposed plan to buy the Lawn Ridge Lutheran church and move it into Coleridge, members of the Methodist church have offered the parishioners of Lawn Ridge the privilege to use the building Sunday mornings until their new building is completed, which will be late in the summer. Whether or not they accept the offer will be left to the people of the Lawn Ridge community.
When the new building is completed in Coleridge the parish will be known as the Emanuel Lutheran church and the old title of “Lawn Ridge” will be but a memory. A new Parish house will also be constructed as soon as the church building plans are accepted, and work is begun. Rev. H. Neiderwimmer is the pastor and is doing all within his power to build up his parish and community.
