Owl That Kills 5parroWs.

A trapper in the southern part Of
town reports that he caught wood
chuck in one of his traps last week
and that when found the animals head
had been eaten by one of the large
owls that are so plentiful hereabouts
this season.
The next day the man in making his
rounds saw the owl in tree above
the trap. apparently waiting for the
trap to provide him with another meal.
The mountaineering owl is of the
variety that is said to be destroying
so many English sparrows this winter.

After paying the much appre-
ciated compliment that "Sauk
Centre Herald usually talks
straight AND sees straight the
highly esteemed Duluth Herald
proceeds to observe that this pa
per's vision" became "a little
twisted and it's tongue set wag-
ging the wrong way" because it
passed editorial judgment that
the Crookston development con-
gress developed into political
caucus. For the benefit of it's
big brother at the head of the
lakes, the Sank Centre Herald
desires to say that the informa-
ton upon which it's editorial com
ment was based, came from sew
eral bright, able and wholly re-
liable newspaper men who at
tended the Crookston gathering
and who deplored the fact that
politicians ran it. Several can.
didates for state Office were on
hand and at least one of them
secured a seat in the convention
and received an appointment on
a committee. A member of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association told the publisher OF
the Sank Centre Herald this.
and said further that the pres.
ence of these gentlemen at
Crookston with their button
holding proclivities was distinct

of the delegates.

Health on One Meal a Day.

During visit to the south of Eng
land a gentleman recently met with
a person who related unique and
most interesting experience in dietet
les. 1t was that for the last three
years he had lived on one meal a day
and that meal was composed chiefly
of apples. Further establishment was
evoked by his reply to a question as
to what he drank, when he stated that
the juices of the apples supplied him
with all the moisture or drink he
needed; this, he claimed, was of the
purest kind, being in reality water
distilled by nature, and favored with
the pleasant aroma of the apple. He
partook of his one meal about three
o'clock in the afternoon, eating what
he felt satisfied him, the meal occupy.

In it's issue of June Is the ST.
Cloud Times said so. On June
IL the esteemed Times said edi-
torially that: BRO. Welles, coun-
ty optionist, was not delegate
to the county convention. The
esteemed Times should hold a
caucus with itself and see if it
cannot get it's news and it's edi-
torial columns together. The
cussedness of a gasoline engine
combined with an unusual
amount of Office work, kept The
Herald man at home but Mayor
H. F. Henneman held his proxy.
This is the first time the pub
Usher of The Herald knew
he was county optionist. He
has always stood for strict en-
forcement of existing laws, and
under the present administra-
ton such laws are enforced in
Sank Centre. He has no kind
of use for the Jake Jacobson
Elias Rachie- Youngdahl kind of
option, the only brand that seems
to be on tap in Minnesota, as it
is being used as club to belabor
aspirants for Office that are OBJ
noxious to that precious trio. AS
to county option per Sc, he has
thus far been unable to decide
whether it is a good thing or not.

say about alleged inside facts"
relative to the late convention.

Male fashions of 60 years ago had other diseemforts besides long hair. Trousers were tight and buttoned un- der the foot with broad straps. Every man who aspired to be well dressed wore his coat so high in the collar that the back of the hat rested upon it, This fashion was SO prevalent that, according to Sir Alsernon West. every hat had a crescent of cloth on the back of the brim to prevent the rubbing of the beaver. or imita ton beaver.
