BETTERS  PAY
ELECTION    BET
,St. Charles.—Because Stassen was
elected Governor of Minnesota, two
local lads are paying off a bet, made
in the heat of the campaign. Tom
Hildebrand and Harold "Skinny"
Stassner were the betters, and now!
Skinny demands satisfaction of the
bet. So, beginning at two o'clock,
some afternoon soon, the gentlemen
will pay off. Tom has to push Skin-
ney on a wheelbarrow north on White
water street, and Tom must wear a
bathing suit, regardless of the weather: The procession will be preceded
by the German Band under the able
direction of Skipper Smith. Needless to say, the two participators
have been in for a lot of kidding, especially Tom.
THE    TALE    OF
TWO     HUNTERS
Forest Lake.—This story* is being
told in the hope that it may compensate In a small measure for the discomfort that Herb Taurman and, Re-
ub suffered one afternoon. Roy <Bix-
by is to blame for the whole unfortunate affair, and maybe you think he
hasn't heard plenty about( it! A .bunch of the fellows were going duck
* hunting along the Mississippi. Roy
rowed the boat, found a shallow spot
ta the right of the main channel
where Herb figured he'd like to hunt,
found another spot across the channel for Reub, and then rowed farther
up where he left the boat, planning
to return later and pick the' boys up.
About quitting time they-began looking for Reub and Herb, since Roy |
had the idea all the time that they.
could reach the boat. (Roy had joined
some of the other hunters.) But Reub
and Herb couldn't reach the boat.
There they sat on each side of the
river, a deep channel separating them
from the boat. They shouted words
of comfort back and forth until the.
chill of evening had theiri to numb to
move. Finally the other hunters in'
the party decided to hire a motor
boat and cruise down the river looking1 for the lost battalion. They
found them, each huddled around his
own fire, resigned to a night in the
open.    Were Roy's cheeks pink.

PTA To Give Play
At School Fri. Dec. 2
COURT   HOUSE CLOCK
STOPS;   BLAME   PIGEONS
Sleepy Eye.—The courthouse clock
in Fairmont, faithful arbitor for time
as far as its big hands can be seen,
stopped at 12 minutes to nine the
other morning and there wasn't anything wrong with the works either.
Joseph Sharph, custodian, lays the
blame on pigeons, dozens of them,
who make their home in the courthouse tower. The birds, John explain
ed, sit on the minute and hour hands
and either stop the hands or interfere with their running properly.
John threatened to turn pigeon hunter fo ra few days and has already borrowed a BB gun.
The rollicking, humorous comedy
packed full of mirth, amusing and
exciting events in three acts, to be
presented by the PTA under the di-
.rection of Miss Isaacson, is sure to be
'a big hit of the year.
:. .Mrs. Barlow, the boarding house
keeper, played by Mrs. Cromett and
;her charming daughter, Miss Sielitz
are well portrayed. Mr. Haskins,
Clifford Gardner, does his best to ruin the tourist trade at the boarding
'house by erecting a huge board fence
obstructing the view of her homo
from the road. His plans are frustrated by Mr. Dougherty, and then
the complications arise.
The play is packed with laughable
incidents and exciting events all
through, assuring everyone a good
time. Miss Hill, Miss Torske and
John Haack take the main character
parts.
The art department at the school
is working on outdoor scenery for
the stage, which promises to lend a
pleasing background for the play.
Christ Hoffman returned to his
home from the Brainerd hospital on
Tuesday.
Actual Deer Stories of
'38 by Local Hunters
"I got mine the first shot!"
"I shot three times and then my
gun  jammed."
"I emptied my gun at a buck and
missed( this was an honest hunter.)
The next day I went out again and
when I was ready to shoot a nice doe,
found Ii'd forgotten to jre-load my
musket—not so good!
"I ran into a bunch of eight of them (
—and just  dropped my gun!" |
"I killed mine in two shots—bu«:
could easily done it with one for he:
was only 80 rds. away and going in-j
to the brush."
"I went to sit on an old log und
found two deer lying on the ground.
The surprise was so great all 1
could do was watch  them."
"My partner and I were out where'
no one lived and after tramping for;
hours in the woods, he said, Lookitl
that dog over there, now what in the
world would a dog be doing way out
here." I looked, and the dog was a
nice doe just going into the brush."
M waa up on an- old stump and spi-j
ed a dandy coming my way. I shot
until my gun was empty and found
that in my excitement, instead of
shooting I had ejected all the shells
from my gun. I was so mad I just
picked  them  up  and  went home.
"There were eight of us in camp
and we got three deer—I shot most
of them."
"I could've killed him easy but my
hands were so cold I couldn't shoot."
"I didn't get one myself but my
partner gave mo half of his—and the
Mulligan Stew Is most as good as if
I'd shot it myself."
There were four of us in our camp
and we all got our deer before Saturday. Hated to break up camp so
early but had our limit."
"Oh well, we had one between the
six of us—it will be a taste and that's
all we wanted anyway."
"No I didn't get any. We don't care
for venison much—I just hunt for
the fun of it anyway."
"It was sure great sport shooting
it, but a dickens of a job dragging it a
mile  back  to  camp."

BUY CHRISTMAS
SEALS; IT'S A
NOBLE CAUSE
With the slogan "Protect your home
from Tuberculosis," an army of more
than 10,000 Christmas Seal workers
start an intensive fund raising and
educational campaign throughout the
state Thanksgiving day. Leaders representing government, business, labor, church, and other groups have
all endorsed the campaign.
President Roosevelt says: "Our
goal can be nothing else than the
complete eradication of this scourge
of tuberculosis from our nation.
Through the power of the Christmas
Seal everybody can  help."
Dr. Thomas Parran, U. S. surgeon
general says: "It is essential that the
present activities, made possible by
the sale of Christmas Seals, be continued. Future effort against tubercu
losis must be wide-spread and greatly accelerated."
Arthur Hays Sulzberegr, publisher
of the New York Times, says: "Once
a year those of us who have escaped
tuberculosis are brought face to face
with its ravages through the efforts
of the National Tuberculosis Association's Christmas Seal Campaign
One cannot endorse such a campaign
anymore than one can endorse decency, and light and cleanliness. One
can-however-one  must  support  it."
William Green, president, American
Federation of Labor, says: "In contributing to this cause we are not only extending a helping hand to those
that have oecome victims of this
dread disease, but we are arming
ourselves against further inroads by
tuberculosis among our people."
Archbishop John G. Murray of St.
Paul says: What has been achieved
in the reduction of the rate of mortality from this dread disease is the
most convincing recommenation for
further co-operation by all the forces
in our community to eliminate the
White Plague entirely."
