st. Cloud Board of Education
Would COufide in the People

The Board of Education of the city
of St. Cloud has been having monkey
and parrot of time during the past
year, with what, on one occasion,
came pretty near being knock-down-
and-drag out affair.
The climax came last Monday even
ing when the body reorganized for the
coming year. The insurgents on the
board tried to elect a new president
and nominated G. L. Atwood for that
position. Stratton, the old president,
won out, however, receiving g. votes
to Atwood's s. Peace then lowered
over the body. 49,.
Several speeches were made among
them one by Jos. Wegler who said he
wished the business of each meeting
published in the city papers, and was
informed that resolution to that eff
feet had been passed at the last meet
ing of the board. The object of this
and the aim of the board is to have
the people who pay the taxes know
and see exactly where their money is
going and for what purposes.

ANGLING FOR BASS
Fishermen Enjoy fine Sport at
Lakes Near Sank Centre

The bass season opened auspiciously
May %. While frogs may be heard
singing almost anywhere hereabouts
they are difficult to obtain, SO the
parties who have been out from here
either buy their frogs in the cities
and have them shipped in or else they
use pork rind or artificial minnows.
Anyway, the results have been good,
for all the parties who have made a
business of going after bass have
found little difficulty in getting a
plenty.
A party composed of w. d. Smith,
sales manager for the Acme Harves-
ter Company: H. E. Porter, sales
manager for Deere, Webber and Co.:
H. P. Wallace of Minneapolis, state
plumbing inspector; A. G. MCGOWAN
of Deere, Weber & Co.: Hon. Frank
E. Minette and Geo. r. Borgmann of
city, spent three days at Birch Lake
with headquarters at the cottage on
the Point above Ward Springs and
succeeded in landing SO fish, all but
few of which we're bass, the rest being
pickerel. They used live frogs for
bait. This was a jolly party and en-
tertained the neighborhood round
about every day. Smith and Wallace
are comedians of high rank, and
MACEDONIAN is not for behind.
L. P. Haser and c. r. Knickerbock-
er of Chicago. B. r. Parsons and l.
Sedden of St. Paul. constitute a quar-
tet that fishes in this vicinity every
spring. They spent four days here
the past week, fishing in Long, Birch,
Fairy and Sank Lakes and landed all
the fish they wanted and more, for
that matter. These gentleman are
true sportsmen, for they always
throw the small ones back in and
keep only few large ones. One
evening they came in from Long Lake
with bass that tipped the scales at
over six pounds. Mr.. Haser uses pork
rind for bait and catches more bass
than any of the others.

This was made by Andrew Car

each OF them signed. the agreement
being that the Illinois Steel company

Gradually other companies asked to

Gary had drawn. This agreement, he
said, had been stolen from his desk
