commonly done in other lines of bust

Rino Life Preservors.

'The worst trouble, about life pre-
server" said an old sailor, lis that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get
life preserver over his head. The av-
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
"The proper way to approach a life
preserver in the water is to take hold
Of the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as man ringing a cane at a
country fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued

PERKINS" DEFEAT 'tBEEs'
Local Bowling Team Travels to Man.
kato And Is Defeated By Nearly
200 Pins.

Friday evening bowling team, known
Mankato with blood in their eyes and
with the intention of trimming up the
Perkins, of Mankato. When, how
ever, they reached that great metro
politan city of Blue Earth County and
got ready for the fray they ran short of
ammunition and returned home after a
di ;astrous defeat.
The Perkins started the first game of
the match with 900 score and followed
this with another of greater denomina-
ton, falling only thirteen points short
of the thousand mark. In the last
game, however, they also lacked ammu-
milton and dropped down to little above
800. The local boys began the game
with a small score and almost came
within reach of a 900 score but seeing
that the Mankato team was bowling low
they took pity on them and not wishing
to take the game by too large majority
they satisfied themselves by rolling 887.
Van Ness of the Mankato team was
high man in the totals making GIG. He
also made the highest single score of the
match, rolling 231 in the second game.
Backer was high man for the locals,
making a total of $50 with two 200
scores, one 208 and the other Els.
Dick Baasen on being asked the reason
for their losing the match, replied that
before they went down, his men had all
said they would bowl between six and
seven hundred and when down there
none came up to the scratch.
The scores of the game we're as follows:
