1t is reported that the weeds in
Sank Lake have gone down a
great deal i'm the last few weeks.
Those who have studied the con-
ditions of our lake in the past and
compared them with this year are
of the opinion that the high water
level will greatly help to eliminate
most of the foliage. Nevertheless,
we have had better looking lake
this year than three years ago
when it was at it's lowest level.
We can now point with pride to
one of the "BEST' of Minneso-
ta's ten thousand.
Residents of this community are
slated for a huge surprise, when
sometime in the near future they
will he privileged to hear the new
ly organized boys band in con-
cert. Some of the parents, after
hearing the boys footing at home,
may feel as we did, that they have
not yet learned to play and that
hearing them all play together
would be terrible. Those people
are due for an awakening, the
same as the writer had. They will
open their eyes in amazement
when they hear the strains of real
good music from these same boys,
who only a very short time ago
did not know one note from an
other. Well, it's a proven fact,
the boys can play. Leader Han
sen has given a great deal of time
to the training of the boys and
the results of his work are already
in great evidence. Thursday
night with nothing else to do this
representative of The Herald
wandered to the Community Club
rooms for first hand information
concerning the progress of the
band, which in no uncertain tone
had already been told by the old
est of the younger members of
my family. Daddy, why don't
you come up and hear us play,
"Sig. Holme comes up" and vari-
GUS other urgent invitations led
me to believe it might be worth
while. Not to be outdone by Sig.
I went. There are as boys in the
band at present and interest
among them and in their music us
at fever heat. They are anxious to
please their leader and through at
tention and good behavior reflect
their respect for Mr.. Hansen. At
this early date they are already
playing good music, among the Sc
lections being marches and some
of the early favorites of America.
The progress of these young boys
is unusual and Sank Centre folks
may we'll he proud of their Juniors
for they are fast coming to the
front.
A certain Irish paper salesman,
who is pretty well versed in the
Scotchman's game, recently de-
feated one of the members of this
newspaper in a game of golf.
There is only one of us at present
that engages in this sport. Gone
guess.) Just the same the young
er members of this firm are inter-
ested and have about decided to
cut him from our buying list. Still
that might be bad business for he
might decide to trim our golf ex-
pert every time in the future, and
we might lose our prestige in the
sport field.
Driving into this city on the
pavement from the south, one
might be of the opinion he were
nearing Glenwood. We spent
good money to put up a beautiful
sign along the highway and our
sister village, not content with the
publicity they might gain other
wise, were wiser and put their
sign nearer the road-(where our
sign should have been)-and not
where we think theirs ought to be
either.
Pretty fine weather these days
and they tell US it is almost alfal-
ia cutting time. How about the
weeds? Just north of town we
ran into what we were told was a
patch of Canada Thistle in bloom.
You can't prove it by us city
guys, but it wouldn't hurt to look.
In this day of diversified "this
and that, why not diversity your
sport? Forget the golf sticks, the
fishing rod or that pleasure trip
next Sunday and attend real,
red hot ball game at the local fair
grounds. Manager Eckardt, of
Belle Plaine, has "a fast team and
is coming here to win from the
