1t was Old Settlers day yesterday
at Sibley park. Two hundred white
haired men and women who came
here when the country was young
sat under the beautiful old forest
trees. snapped yarns, related stor-
les, recounted events which have
occurred in the immediate neigh
borhood, and in their imagtnations
could see the Indians padding down
the river in their canoes, the tep-

yesterday had been used as a signal
post by their swarthy brothers.
They taxed OF the log cabins and
the crude surroundings which were
later followed by beautiful farms,
villages and cities. But the one
thing best OF all they liked to talk
about was the 'neighbors." That
seemed to be their ideal theme. and
their experiences were all the same.
Warm friendships there were in
those days, never to be broken.
Some of the aged women yesterday,
apart from each other during those
trying times. recalled "reminiscences
and as they did 80 laughed at times,
again they brushed away the tears.
They recalled the times when some
body's baby died and every one ad

came i'll, and the neighbors cared
for his grain. or a widow whose
crops had been put in by these same
good people. There were no news

One Of the reasons for the organ

alive the spirit of the pioneer. To
have a get together meeting an

themselves, may talk over the things
which alone are dear to them and to
keep an accurate record and ac-

was organized, June, 1896. Today
there are two hundred members.

half what 1t was in pre- war DAYS,
Last year there were only $4,000, 0Ou
hectoliters produced as against $40.
000,0U0 hectoliters in the period i'm.

The beer production for 1922 was
roughly 871,000,000 gallons, or near
ly fifteen gallons for each inhabitant
OF the German republic.
Experienced barkeepers manage to
get eight glasses Of beer out Of every
gallon, so at that rate every inhabi-
tant Of Germany might have had l20
glasses of beer last year, or, rough
ly, one glass every three days.
The brewer say the decline in
beer consumption is due to the pow

COUNTY TO LOSE (
CASH, THE CLAIM
Large Number of Youths Can
Hunt Without Obtain
ing Licenses

BY the act of the last legislature
in which they passed an act making
lawful for the young men under the
age Of twenty one years to hunt
and trap without q state license,
the state revenue fund will lose
$500 from Blue Earth county this
coming year, according to G. L..
Kennedy, county auditor. Approx
mately 500 youthful hunters will be
affected by the act.
In commenting upon the act
County Auditor Kennedy decried
the fact that the law was enacted.
stating that it was movement
backward in the enforcement Of
game laws. Game wardens he con-
tends, have had more trouble with
the youngsters than they have had
with the older hunters.
"A greater share of our COM
plants against hunters of small
game have been against boys who
hunt and trap. They trespass, shoot
at barns and in other ways make
trouble for land owners" said Ken
nedy.
Kennedy stated that he would not
definitely make statement regard
ing the law until he had heard from
the State game and fish commits
sioner regarding the opinion of the
state attorney general on the sub
ject.
There were between 1900 and
400 small game licenses issued in
about Ave hundred Of these were to
boys under the age Of twenty one.
Up to date there have been only
nine small games licenses issued.
