BABY BUFFALO, MAGNET
Rennie Attracted Large Crowd To

Rennie Attracted Large, Crowd To
Sibley Park Yesterday Afternoon
Have you seen Bennie? He is the
cunningest, darlingest, dimpled
baby in all the world, and notwith.
standing the fact that no Invitations
were sent out announcing his birth,
there were at least five hundred
people out to see him at Sibley park
yesterday.
And never was there such adoring
parents. All day long they stood and
watched him kick up his heels, gam
boil and frolic on the long, green
grass in the crisp autumn air. Ben
ME knew they were watching him
and child like did the same stunts
over and over again. At times he
wandered little too far over in the
pasture and the fond mother always
walked over, circled about him and
drove him back. to his father and to
safety. AT times he ran up to the
pink nose into the wafer and then
used his mothers shaggy hair for
Handkerchief. Bennie is an unusual
child. He has every prospect for
long life and when only few hours
old he danced the tango, interspers-
ed with a variation of jazz steps,
right before the caretaker of the
park. He does not resemble either
his father or mother. Bennie is of
light, cream color and looks just
like the child OF an ordinary brindle
COW. He is no bigger, only his hair
is a little thicker and heavier. Ben
ME is to be raised scientific baby.
No pink ribbons and goo -goo's are
to adorn his person, and not even his
name sake Bernie Bennett, or the
caretaker of the park Clarence Sta
ley. will be permitted to kiss him on
the mouth, while paragoric and
soothing syrups are taboed. i .
Being on exhibition all day was
rather tiresome to Daddy buffalo
and he took his spite out on bunch
Of onlooEers at the wire fence. He
circled about as buffaloes do, snorted
lowered his head, began paving and
started for the spectators who hurl
riedly made their getaway. Mother
buffalo showed her displeasure at
him for his rudeness. Why, Bennie
was peach and she was proud of
him, he is to perpetuate their species,
and besides few people have ever
seen a baby buffalo, and there was
no need of him acting that way.
The crowd wAs loath to leave, but
the golden orb had dropped behind
the foothills, and Bennie had to be
put to bed. His mother drove him
gently into the shed, and in a short
time he had gone off with the Sand
man, with the shaggy hair of his
mother for pillow. Then the care
taker tipped-toed up and locked the

FAKE CHECK WAS PASSED
Winsome Young Woman SIipped
One On Clerk Here, Yesterday

A winsome woman, who had the
appearance of living on this eartn
about twenty five summers, steps
ped into one of the local merchan-
tile establishments yesterday al
ternoon at 5:l5 after banking
hours, and made two small pur-
chases and then presented a check
for twenty five dollars in payment
stating that she was the wife of
farmer living on route No 2. Man
kato. The two scarfs purchased by
the charmer were wrapped up and
she was handed the balance of the
check in cash and she smiled and
bowed herself out of the store.
"A short time later the bank upon
which the check was drawn was call
led up and 1t was then that'the pro-
prietor of the store found out that
he was stung. No such account as
the one against which the check was
drawn was found to be In existance.
One of the CLERKS in the store re-
marked this morning that the lady

that clerk is not possessed of the
fortitud eof Adonis of Shakespeare
fame, for this goddess of love seems
to have gotten his goat. The police
are looking for Venus.

Recognized BY Club
Federation

Mankato is again honored. Lynn
Karp, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ted Karp

Federation of Women's club at the
state convention held at Hibbing
this week. Lynn also won the dis
trict prize on the same poster at the
Federation of Women's clubs, con-
yention held at Blue Earth this
spring.
A prize of SO was offered by the
state federation of Women's clubs
for the best art poster. A poster is
something more than a picture. 1t
must tell story in an artistic form.
The subjects which were given out
by the Federation, for the posters,
must contain either historical, scenic
beauty, industries >or notable pro-
the contestant lives. Mrs. Chris
Lauriseh has charge Of the art post
er contestants from this district and
she feels very proud that Mankato
carried off the honors. There were
hundreds OF posters exhibited. These
were the ones which won the first
prizes at. the district convention at
Blue Earth, and were sent to Hib-
bing and placed on exhibition and
were viewed. by hundreds of people.
The judging was done by several
OF the best artists OF the state and
a number of art critics were pres
ent and stated that the Karp poster
was one of the most artistic as we'll
as one of the best selected subjects
there. The poster was taken from the
North Mankato side. showing the
river and bridge with the Hubbard
mill in the distance. 1t is called
"Mankato for Flour"
Lynn is senior in the High school
and is a fine young lad, who has not
only artistic abilities, but dramatic
talent as well. He has taken part in
the majority OF the school plays
during the past three years and has
always made hit in every thing he
undertook. In the office of his father,
Ted Karp at the Saulpaugh hotel is
an unusual picture. done by young
Karp, which he painted from imag-
ination, after reading a book.

Investing in Real Estate
'(By a San Antonio Realtor)


Careful investors not msed by speculative and
exaggerated false promises Of profit They know that
the fundamental requisite of investment is safety
An investment must first of all be safe-it yield
profitable income-and it must be convertible into cash
without loss.
Real Estate the safest Of all investments and is
profitable investment. And real estate has high degree
of convertibity.l
An investment in real estate is safe because land is
fundamentally the basis of all wealth In times of financial
stress property is the basic value by which all
modites are judged
Real Estate is profitable investment because it yields
satisfactory income Them toe the normal trend of real
estate values is upward and the increased valuation
period of years represents profit And there is al
market for good real estate 1t is always sale
able investment
The population Of San Antonio is steadily increasing,
the demand for San Antonio real estate also ncras
ing To build houses requires land upon which
build them. More houses must be built and will be
built Unimproved real estate bought will be worth
money year. It will be worth if you
to build it yourself-and it will be worth to
one else.
An investment in San Antonio real estate is safe and
will be profitable and in most instances it is easily
verified into cash.
