signal tower event in another year
brought this out when the same
faulty timing gave an obviously
slower troop first place. The Sec
ond-p place troop asked an eXplana-
ton. but upon being informed OF
what the stop watches showed. it &C
cspted the decision On another oc-
casion a stretcher- team
broke the slaves which it WAS to us,.
In making stretdher, SO a rival
troop lent it an extra pair OF slaves.
Bandases. yolley balls, and other
equipment have been similarly lent
by one troop TO another.
The first meet was held in 1915,
that and the 1916 and 1917 contests
being held in the state armory. All
were won by Troop /. which was
then enjoying its first period of
strength. In 1918 the location was
changed and the meets have been
held outdoors ever since. 1t has be-
come almost ineyitablc that II viii
rain on the day OF a scout field day,
and for several years drizzlee and
deluses have prevented the staging
of the water boiling event, while the
other contests have been finished
under dripping skies.
For several years Troop 4 had TO
battle with a strong Troop u from
St Johns German Lutheran church.
The latter had the older and larger
boys, but those from the Center
church proved quicker and always
won out, though the meets in those
days were the closest III the IS
years they have been run. on one
occasion an apparent attempt was
made 10 break Troop As run by Of
ferinS a separate cup Tor scoutCraft
and removing this event from the
regular competition. Troop 4 always
WAS conceded scoutcraft, and it
looked like d more even chance for
the rest if 1t were eliminated. but as
things turned out the idea only
gave two cups 10 Troop and the
experiment was never repeated.
Troop > OF the South Congrega-
tional church was perhaps the most
consistent troop outside of the per-
petual champions, but its strength
was TOO concentrated in d few events
and never gave Troop 4 much worry
over the long stretch of . events.
Then came the strong Troop Is
mentioned above. which battled
right to the last event for two years.
Last year American Legion Troop 7
pushed into prominence, and this
year. with the general strength of
the council at its highest point, pre-
dlctions are for a severe struggle be-
tween a large mum Der Of troops.

SCOUTS Develop
SPORTING SPIRIT
Accept Defeat With Grin and
Try Again to Win

Clean craftsmanship and lair
play are the two lessons which
have been emphasized and learned
at the annual Boy Scout field days,
the 14th OF which will be held in
Willow Brook Park this afternoon.
This competition. the only one of its
kind held in this city during d
years course. has become d classic
event since its inception in 1915, al
though several of the meets have
been conducted under untayora BILE
conditions and have had unforeseen
consequences the outstanding fea-
ture of them has been the develop
ment of tradition of sportsman
like acceptance OF decisions.
The most noteworthy example
Of this occurred TWO years ago and
rsvolved about an exceptionally
close signal tower race. Troop 4 of
the Center Congregational church
and Troop Is of st. Mary's church
built their towers in ultra-rapid
time. but It seemed 10 observers
that Troop Is had won. The
Judges however, were using stop
watches individually on each tower.
and these enormously showed Troop
I had won by quite a margin. There
was much discussion and II was
fnally decided to stage the event
again. This time Troop was an
easy first and received eight valued
points.
The hackers OF Troop IL We're nu-
merous and became vociferous.
They heckled the judges and sought
a reversal Of the decision. The
members of the troop. however,
took no part in these unsportsman-
like actions, but accepted their
questionable defeat in fine spirit
and quieted their irate supporters.
Troop I. it turned out, had a chance
TO repay this conduct. in kind for
when motion picture films of the
event were developed it was seen
that Troop ISIS tower had been first
built in the initial attempt. Troop 4
thereupon conceded the event to its
rivals.
There have been numerous other
instances of this spirit. The same

LETTER TRAVELS OVER
10 YEARS, RETURNED

Time turned backward about ten
and a half years for Waldemar L.
Jahnke of New Ulm, recently, when
County Auditor Louis j. Vogel hand
ed him a letter, written by the latter,
on June Is, 1918, and dispatched to
Mr.. Jahnke while he was a private in
Uncle Sans forces during the World
war. The letter had travelled to va
ious military training camps in this
country and had even crossed the
ocean.
The envelope never was opened dur
ing it's long and unsuccessful cruise.
1t still contained the typewriter let
ter, together with II cents in postage
stamps which Mr.. Vogel sought to re-
turn to Mr.. Jahnke, who had advanced
this amount in sending in the absent
voters ballots for the June 1918, pri.
mary election. The letter had fol
lowed Mr.. Jahnke to various training
camps in the United States, but ap-
parently always arrived too late to be
delivered. The envelope was covered
with many interesting notations in an
endeavor to locate the addressee.

LOUD SPEAKERS ON
STREETS AT ST. JAMES

st. James has adopted a new novel
scheme and will have delightful
Christmas carols and music broadcast
throughout the business district un-
til after the holidays. Loud speakers
belonging to the four fair associa-
tions have been set up throughout
the business section of the city with
the microphone in the Motor Inn Gar
age show room. An electric repro
Queer has been secured for few days
through which radio and photograph
music can be played into the loud
speaker microphone and which trebles
the volume. Church choirs, repre-
senting the various church, will
broadcast Christmas music through
out the city during Christmas week.
The idea was conceived by the Com
mercial club and the Mozart club of
st. James was asked to take charge.

The basket ball season ticket sale
drive which has been conducted by
an octette of statesmen and salesla-
dies will continue throughout next
week. Donald Peterson, ex-football
captain, leads first in the number of
tickets sold, with Marian Alexander,

third. The response from the down.
town district has been pleasing as
more adult tickets have been sold to
date than were sold all last year.
The faculty and school employees re-
sponded 1000 as did also several
town families. A mediocre showing
was made by the high school stud
ents. Of their showing were to be
taken as a community thermometer
we say that it's going to be cold

OUT OF FUNDS, MORGAN
MAN WALKS HOME

A young man from the Morgan
community had rather unwelcoma
experience few days ago when he
drove his car to the cities looking for
work. He thought he had a job in
sight but it failed to materialize and
he spent few days looking else
where. In the meantime he ran out
of funds and in driving home his car
stalled on top Of a hill. He got out
to crank the machine, but the brakes
failed and the car backed down the
hill, landing in the ditch. He had no
funds to have the car pulled out so
he walked home, distance Of 60
miles.

Junior High Notes.

The Junior high school is all dress
ed up for Christmas! Red and green
streamers, tinsel, poinsettas, camels,
pyramids, holly wreaths and every
thing-that's why! We have some
very artistic folks; they proved this
fact in their decorations. If decor
alton creates good spirit and such,
then we'd say-"Let's be all decorat-
ed all the timep' The entire Junior
high school decorating committee is
to be given much credit for making
this place, where we spend so much
of our time, so pleasant. We're GO
ing to have a Christmas Tree, too,
and exchange presents. Don't tell
!. Miss Aske, but she said that we were
still children" (of course we don't
think SOP but that's all right though.
The program committee is at work
now preparing Christmas assembly
program and we hope they will be as
Successful as the decorating commit
tee has been.
Basket Ball is on and consequently
some of the players are making a
desperate effort to stay on too-on
the eligibility list-we mean. Alice
and Freda were over here for pep
meeting-guess they thought we
needed pep and they were quite sur
prised to find we really had so much.
We heard them say that they thought
we were ga good bunch" Why
should they think differently
This bit of news isn't so pleasant,
because it really hurts us to even
mention "red marks"-but we want
you all to know that there have been
several on our cards, but from now
on they're going to be minus guam
tity, because we're all beginning to
realize that they're just "no good
and don't help a fellow at all! With
the help of the teachers and with our
efforts We'll come out on top-just
watch US!
