the Commercial club that an exam
liner be sent to this city to examine
candidates for chauffeur's license,
Secretary of State Julius A. Schmahl
has written that he has made
arrangements with w. o. Larson, a
member of the board of examiners,
to be in Mankato Friday, January 4,
to conduct an examination of those
who wished to become licensed chauf-
feurs. Inasmuch as the state is put
to extra expense to hold examina-
tons away from st. Paul Mr..
Schmahl desires that the class to be
examined be as large as possible.
Those from surrounding villages
| wishing to take the examination
should be on hand, as well as those
from this city. 1t will be held in the
basement of the Mankato State Bank
building.

The club has received an inquiry
