SCHOOL CARNIVAL
iHUGE SUCCESS
JUNE ANDERSON,    SENIOR.
CROWNED QUEEN
OF   CARNIVAL
Crowds from far and near gathered at the school auditorium
Friday evening to enjoy the
much advertised carnival which
was a huge success both financially and entertainingly. The
room was gayly decorated and
booths of all descriptions were
there. At eight o'clock the curtain lifted for the 'Amateur
Hour' program, which comprised a variety of delightful num-
ers given by the school pupils.
There has been much favorable
comment in reference to this
program because it gave every
child who had talent and who
chose to use it an opportunity to
perform at this time and theau-
dience received many pleasant
surprises.
Mr. Jones conducted the announcing and his comments and
short talks about future entertainments enlightened many as
to future programs. There were
twenty four numbers on this
program and everyone deserves
mention and praise. Twelve were
awarded prizes as follows: first.
Laurie Beard, acrobatic dancing;
second, Georgie Norwood, character reading; third, Gloria Evans and Verna Cromett, vocal
duet; other winners were Evan
Beard and Isobel Bolen, tap dancing; Lois Triggs, humorous
reading; Guenn Ingle, song;
Loren Hildebrandt, piano; Lorr-
ain Hougard and Violet Olson,
guitar and song; Billy Riley,
whistling; Joyce Robideau, song
in costume; and Miss Schoon an
accordian selection. At the close
of the Amateur Hour, Mr. Jones
announced a surprise number
and the curtains opened on the
unsuspecting audience, revealing
a half dozen 'Dancing Beauties-
Graceful and sylph-like they
tripped about, flitting here and
there chasing colorful balloons.
The audience was spellbound.
Later it was announced thatthey
were famous Russian Dancers
from Warsaw who were just
passing through our town and
upon learning of the carnival
they offered their talent. The
leader was introduced personally
and he made a few remarks in
Russian, which was however
very "Vitchy" and mot very un-
derstanable.
Immediately following the
program the crowd got into thp
carnival spirit and started visiting all the booths. "The Bingo"
game was probably the most
popular attraction. The hot dog
stand, presided over by theBoy
Scouts, lustily crying theirwares
drew their share of the crowd-
The Shooting Gallery was also a
winner. The prizes given at all
the stands were very desireable.
The Japanese Tea Room was
probably the most attractively
, decorated. On the blackboard
was a work of art, a lovely Japanese scene, drawn by the high
school pupils. There were fans
and flowers everywhere, candles
and shaded lights made a colorful setting and the maids dressed in beautiful Japanese costumes made it a very enchanting
place to sit and sip tea and coffee and eat delectable   food.
At eleven thirty came thehour
to crown the queen and it wasal-
so at this time the prize winners
for the amateur hour were announced. Mr. Henderson named
the Queens in order of their
popular vote and presented the
gifts in appropriate manner.
Miss June Anderson, senior-lst.,
Lorrain McAnnich, Freshman-
2nd., Mildred Hutchinson, juni-
or-3rd., and Dorothy Stotts,.
sophomore- 4th.
Mr. osen was commander-in-
chief of the carnival and deserves much credit for the evenings
entertainment. There was considerable work and time spent
ir. planning and creating the carnival and with the cooperation
Of the faculty it was made into
a real event.
Judging from the size of the
crowd it again proves that it
pays to advertise, as this carnival was well advertised and also
received plenty of good publicity
through the Journal.
The members of the faculty
express their thanks to the
community for their loyal support, cooperation and patronage
and particularly to those contributing prizes. The gross receipts^ including the sale of season'
tickets amounted to   over   $200.
CARNIVAL ADVERTISED
FOR NOV. 11,   POSTPONED
At the meeting held by the
Vets Monday evening, to continue plans for a carnival which
had been scheduled for Nov. 11,
it was decided to postpone the
carnival idea indefinitely as it
would be too soon after^the one
just held and would probably not
draw a very good house, as thp
patrons have just had one good
carnival and another so soo'n
would be monotonous so it seemed advisable to abandon the idea
for the present. To take the
place of this entertainment . the
Vets are planning a Turkey
Drawing and Frolic of some kind
to be held just before Thanksgiving. Conmlete details will
be published later on.

JOURNAL   OFFICE WELCOMES NOTED HUMORIST
One of the most distinguished
personages ever to visit this fair
city arrived in Pine River this
morning, shook the dust off his
shoes and headed straight for
the Journal office. And hardly
had he arrived than he set the
town into a gale of laughter.
You've met him before—on
the printed pages, on the screen
and on the air. Thihs sour-vis-
aged fellow is none other than:
Irvin S. Cobb, who has joined the
staff of the Journal to pass
along to you his humorous and
philosophical quips on world affairs.
More than any livinghumorist
Cobb captures the snirit of the
American people. His humor is
the type that fits every member of the family. Thei publisher
feels proud over signing such a
famous writer and would like to
get out the brass band for a welcome celebration. You'll find the
fun-laden column of Mr. Cobb's
in the inside page this week-and
every week in the Journal.  _

a friendly; talk in presenting the
gifts to Miss Davies. Mrs. C.
M. Swift gave a very humorous
and entertaining reading, entitled "Setting a Hen," afterwhich

Thirty days of legal shooting
of migratory waterfowl opened
in Minnesota last week, Monday,

19. Hunting of waterfowl is
limited; this season from 7:00 A-
M. until 4:00 P. M. daily, ecxept
on the openoing day when 12 o'
clock noon was the startingtime.
Reports coming in from the local hunters state that the ducks
are quite plentiful in this neighborhood, several of them have
bagged the limit.
Other stringent regulations
adopted by the U. S. Bureau of
Biological Survey were approved
by the Minnesota Conservation
Commission. Use of live decoys
and baiting are prohibited this
season. Automatic and repeating shotguns must be cut down'
to a three-shell capacity. No
shotgun larger than a ten gauge
is legal in the taking of migratory waterfowl.
The daily and possession limits are the same—10 birds in the
aggregate of all kinds including
wild ducks, Wilson or jack snipe,
rails and gallinules, of whichnot
more than four be geese. Not
more than 15 game birds, upland or migratory waterfowl, of
all kinds in the aggregate may
be taken by any one person in
any one day.
An absolute closed season on
wood ducks, bufflehead ducks
swans and greater and lesser
yellowlegs was stipulated for
this fall. There is no open season on either of the following
game birds this year: Ruffed grouse or native partridge, mourning dove, upland plover and
woodcock.
To hunt migratory waterfowl
a f ederal duck stamp costing one
dollar is required. This stamp,
whic may be purchased at most
postoffices in the state, is required in addition to the statesman
game hunting license costing
one dollar. All residents sixteen
years old or over, must have
both a license and' stamp to hunt
migratory waterfowl. The hunter must validate the stamp by
writing his signature aci'oss
the face of the stamp. This
must be done before hunting is
commenced.

license or coupon: of another
person; to hunt in any statepark
or game refuge or to carry firearms in such areas except byper-
mission, and to retain game
more than five days after the
close of the seasonunless tagged
by the Director of the Division
of Game and Fish or by a game
warden.
COMMISSION   TABOOS
OPEN   DEER   SEASON
There will be mo open deer sea.
son in Minnesota this fall.
So ruled the Minnesota Conser
vatiom Commission, following in-
sistant demands on the part of
many sportsmen for an open
season and just as emphatic declarations against an open season
on the part of a majority of
sportsmen's organizations. Un
founded and ridiculous statements that the commission had
already decided upon an open1
1935 deer season were rampant,
that license had already been
printed.
Daily newspaper dispatches
E. V. Wilkrd, Commissioner of
Conservation, with reference to
the deer situation and a great
deal of misunderstanding resulted without any just cause.
"I have not been in the habit
of making statements to the
press that might be interpreted
as committing the commission
in advance of formal action by it
and thus embarrass the members," Commissioner Willard
said.
"I have no personal interest
in an open season. Officially
the Commission has declared the
opening and closing seasons for
the taking of wild life as maters
of policy for which reason it
would be decidedly bad taste on
my part to attempt to make public statements in advance of an
opportunity of the commission
to express its attitude. I have
not at any time expressed myself either privately or Officially
as favoring an open deer season
this fall."

NEWS BRIEFS FROM
AROUND OUR STATE
FINDS   BIG   TARANTULA
IN BANANA SHIPMENT
Bronson.—Unpacking a crate
of bananas, a large tarantula
hopped out on the floor before
John Vick, Bronson grocer. After a hard chase it was finally
cornered and captured by Vick,
who placed it in a glass jar filled with alcohol and now has it
on display. This playful . little
creature, about five inches long,
covered with hair and equipped
with an unbelieveable number
of legs, is known as one of the
most poisonous spiders of the
south and evidently made its
home in the fruit shipment,
since it was packed for transportation up north.
