filled with eager <"hot footers" to
the first to the last wall Of the

On the stage, Judge Canthook"
dan Jarvi) held court with Joe
Klobuchar and Dave Blackmore as
clerks and John P. Erickson and
Jacob Pete as court officers. Ar
rests were made by the police for
causes known and unknown and
probably everyone in the room dur
ing the three evenings ran afoul of
the law. Some were "pinched" for
loafing and others for working too
hard and all were lodged in the Jail
and fined all the way from 81 to IS
in Roaring Stoney Jack" First
the judge ascertained how much you
had-a regular procedure IN all

The "Pegleggers" did business in
one of the side entrances to the
basement and one of the basement
rooms. Here High Chief "Mucky-
Muck" of the "Peglegger" order,
Ernest Hanson, initiated neophytes
by the score each evening. In the
work he was assisted by good
husky crew, such ssss Earl West,
Doug. Nankervis aa-t James Miglio
and others. The work was so
strenuous that the "Mogul Chief
was compelled to call on reserves
each evening. This initiation cere.
mony was one of the high lights of
the carnival and although all were
sworn to most obtuse secrecy,
| enough has leaked out to demons
trate the fact that all who joined
were more than pleased over be-
coming members.
Each Scamp" as the booths were
known was presided over by mem
Der of the Legion and one Of the
| Auxiliary. All were compelled to
call on reserves when business be-
came rushed, in fact, it kept one
person busy all the time in taking
in the money. All worked like
| Trojans and the success of The car
! nival is attributed to just this CO.
| operation.
/ There were S62 beans in the jan
when counted by committee
chosen for the contest. Army cooks
were utilized for the counting al
they were more conversant with the
value of beans-either singly or in
bulk. Herb Kurvinen was giver
his choice of the two handsome pup,
on his guess of 862 and JOS. Marko
vich the other on 861. This dis

II Not the least effective in the sue

!. and attracted much attention. TIL
first issue was the primary cause Q
O the large attendance on Thursda
evening. Editors Rautio and Lul
8 ins did their work well.

not enough voice in all Of them
