Just say said Mrs. Bird, as she
passed The Saturday News booth at
the festival, that we were favored
with a call by Mr.. and Mrs. j. =.
Bird" So here goes. That's one Of
the ways, by the way, that newspapers
get their local news-that is, by peo-8
pie calling and r~emarking about some
thing or other or telling about some
friend having gone, or another having
come TO visit, etc, etc. 1t may not
be out Of place right here to observe
that instead of accepting it is an I'M
desiable blessing, newspapers always
feel grateful for information regard
ing the comings and goings of ones
friends, o of neeself. So, when Mrs.
Bird suggested that she and her hus-
band had called she was put play
ing upon what she knew newspapers
appreciate.
The high school football team went
to- Bookings last Saturday for the
purpose of eontesting with the Brook
ings team. The lads came back feel
| ing fine, but lost the game t o their
opponents by a score OF So to 3. The
Watertown team scarcely expected to
win when they left home, realizing
that the opposing team was composed
Of heavier lads who had had greater
practice. After arriving on the scene
the Waterfowl boys protested sew
eral of the Brookings players, alleging
that they did not come under the
rules and regulations prescribed by
the high school athletic association
of the state. The players participant
ed, however, and the appeal will go
before the proper state authorities
for determination whether the Water
town protest was well founded. If 50,
the game at Bookings will appear in
a different aspect. No hard feelings
have been engendered. it is a pleasure
to state.

Mayor. Hopkins, at the last meeting
OF the council, announced a veto Of a
portion of the budget as passed by
the aldermen. 1t appears that some
question has arisen as to the legality
of a levy in excess of ten mills on the
dollar OF valuation, as indicated by
a communication published from the
pen Of Hon. John b. Hanten. The
mayor cut off $4,000 and some odd
dollars, appropriated for the purpose
OF completing the sewer laterals and
connections. This brings the levy
down to what is believed a point that
will stand the legal test. The coun-
Gil seemed to be Of the opinion that,
under the circumstances. the mayors
action was tenable and no suggestion
was made with regard to passing the
budget over the mayors veto. 1t Is
J understood that the matter OF provid.
ing for sewer laterals and connections
{ will be submitted to a vote To bond
the city for the raising Of the re
quired amount.
