Sauk Centre, with its original
"Main Street" made famous by
Sinclair Lewis, has long since
broken out of the chick class"
town, and in order to impress up
on the world that they have moth
ing in common with the average
size main street town, they are now
making efforts to secure free city
mail delivery-and they'll get it
too, because they are live bunch
down there. ]" Now its up to us to
live up to that reputation.
An increase of approximately
81 100000 in the City of Duluth's
assets is indicated in the reports of
the various municipal departments
complied by the city auditor and
submitted to the city commission
Monday afternoon. This shows
that the city's total assets on Dec.
81, last, amounted to $26,505,-
571.08.
An Albert Lea doctor got three
neckties from "Blind" Pawnee Bill
about christmas time for which
he was requested to remit 81. The
doctor sent Blind Bill a prescrip-
ton to a letter which read: "Dear
Sir: Your neckties at hand.
Thanks. am sending you pre-
scription which will cost you 81.
AS i did not order the neckties
and you did not order the pre-
scription and as you will get just
as much good out of the prescrip-
ton as / will out of the neckties
we will call the account closed.
Goodbye"
Says Bless Wilson in the Red
wood Falls Gazette: "WIhen
merchant comes into our shop to
get prices on printing merchan-
disc he credits our seemingly
high price to the frightful high
cost of living and to our profteer-
ing. When we go to his shop for
his merchandise he tells us his
price is based on cost plus only a
fair margin of profit. It all de-
ponds upon whose OK is being
gored."
Pierce Lampman of this city
brought into this office the lining
of the stomach of a big pickerel,
which weighed Is Ia pounds, and
in which there was bass which
weighed two pounds and seven
ounces. 1t would have been diff
cult to believe but. for the fact
that there it was before your eyes.
The bass had been eaten but a
short time before evidently, be-
cause there was no sign of de-
composition. Many sportsmen of
this community are of the opinion
that the pickerel is the worst
enemy there is to the black bass
and that there should be no mercy
shown this pirate of our lakes

The farmers and townsmen of
Swanville recently gave demon
stration of cooperation when they
met to clean the side roads lead
ing to that village from snow. The
Community Club met and decided
to organize the townsmen to help
the farmers in this work. They
worked two days and the work
done was astounding. just an
other way of bringing the country
closer to town.
Some one once said that all
| good Indians are dead. However,
that is not true, although one
may form that opinion after the
recent trouble a few of them STIR
red up over in Mile Laos county.
AS sequel to the trouble caused
| by drinking radiator alcohol Will
liam Bedausky,- Chippewa Indian,
was arrested and lodged in the
hoosegow in st. Cloud. He re-
sisted an officer recently, taking
his billy away from him and hit
ting the arm of the law on the
head. However, when Sheriff d.
w. Luchsinger placed his hands on
him he came very meekly and lat
er plead guilty to the charge.
