Other members of the family thought of the event and had arranged to give him a com plete surprise. Relatives and friends gathered early on Sunday at the Osmin home, and if Albert had not remembered just how old he was, he surely came to himself when in vited to the dining room where the tables were spread with a bountiful supply of good things to eat, the centerpiece being the big birthday cake ornamented with 71 candles. Following the dinner, the afternoon was spent in visiting and the play ing of games, the guests remaining until the evening hour. Mr. Osmin came to Morrow coun ty as a young man 48 years ago. One of his early chums, who had arrived here a year earlier, was D. B. Stalter, who for a great many years ran a ranch up Balm fork beyond the Osmin place. They have been great friends all these years and are the only remaining mem bers of a large number of young fellows coming to this section at about the same time, who in the former years were cronies, enjoy ing the pleasures and enduring the hardships of those who were instru mental in the development of this community and overcoming pioneer conditions. Those present at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Casebeer and children, Mr. and Mrs. John Berg strom and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Sam McCullough, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Osmin and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Knowles and children. Mrs. Mary Kirk and daughter Mary, Messrs. Dave McCulluogh, Dan B. Stalter, Roy Holcomb and Lewis, Alton and Leo Osmin. Mrs. Chas.

Shearing is on now at the Krebs Bros, ranch, Cecil, and also at some other points in the north end of the county. It is not proba ble that there will be any particu lar controversy over the shearing operations in Morrow county, but it appears that each flockmaster is proceeding towards the best price that he can obtain.

The price seems low when based on a large order. Too often the prospect compares this price per piece on a large order with the price per piece on a smaller order from the local printer. Naturally the price of the local plant seems high in comparison.
