LAUREL- Laurel needs more electricity and the village board is considering ways and means for the purchase of a 200 H.P. engine to carry the load. With an engine of this size, and it should be two engines of this size, the plant would be able to take on more work. At present two engines are working to their full capacity and often in the evenings the loss is so heavy that housewifes using electricity for cooking purposes find it almost impossible to get supper.

LAUREL — Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jensen returned from Denmark the first of February and they are mighty glad to be back. Mrs. Jensen declares that it will be a long time before they revisit her homeland again. They returned on the Hellig Olaf, the same ship that first brought Mr. Jensen to this country 12 years ago. They had a very stormy passage, but that was nothing to the anxiety they suffered because of the serious illness of their three and a half year old daughter.
