There perhaps is no athlete better

During his baseball career he has

The air was crisp and a cold, biting

Coach Wood had his aggregation

out to take a commanding lead az
the very start. McAllen found il diff

flashed the brilliance Of which they
are capable. The playing Of both
teams was fast and clean throughout.

Frank POferlS Observe
Their Silver Wedding

County Treasurer Frank Poferl and
Mrs. Poferl were very pleasantly sur
priced last Sunday, June 10, when a
number of their friends came to their
home to help them celebrate their
silver wedding anniversary. About 20
cars bearing guests numbering 80 or
more called for Mr.. and Mrs. Poferl
and then went to the SOkol camp on
the east shore of Cross lake where the
celebration was held. A bountiful
picnic dinner was served after which
all joined in playing games for the
greater part of the afternoon. Mr..
and Mrs. Poferl had planned to spend
a quiet day but their friends had de-
cided otherwise.
Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice Weinberger
of Willow River, came down for the
occasion and also James POferl who
now is located at Willow River. Many
presents were received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Poferl and they will long remem-
Der the occasion and the numerous
congratulations of the friends. Mrs.
Poferl formerly was Mary Shambauer
They were married at Pine City 25
years ago and have made that their
home since their marriage.

The question was a technical on

that the real contest would be ovel
the selection of his running mate. Il
was believed a boom would be started

said, was a step to get the Illinois
vote for Hoover, that state being Mr.

mentioned as Mr.. Hoover's possible
running mate. However, it seemed
to be the belief of observers that Mr.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS)

Andrew Carnegie, one of the worlds
greatest exemplars of thrift, was once
asked which he considered the most
important, earning, saving or spend
ing. He replied by asking which of
the three legs of stool was the most
necessary.
1t would be well if this understand
ing of thrift were widespread.
The three factors in the process of
acquiring and using money are inter-
dependent and it is a false doctrine
to over-emphasize saving.
We see examples every day which
tend to prove that quite large per-
centage of the people give insufficient
attention to spending or investing.
There are opportunities on every hand
for earning money and it is not diff
cult in these times and under present
conditions for the average person to
save something out of his income.
But the amount of money which is lost
through the unwise use of savings
is now said to be greater than the an
nual growth in national savings depos-
it's.
With the vast majority of people,
the accumulations OF savings is a
slow process requiring great patience
and persistence. The margin between
income and the necessities of life is
not wide. Hence it is all the more
unfortunate that greater attention is
not given to the problems involved in
the proper use of savings.
The trouble very largely lies in the
fact that people do not give sufficient
study to these problems. Incidents
are not uncommon where persons have
parted with the savings of years on
the representations of total strangers.
Every saved dollar represents hard
work and great patience. Just as
much thought and care should be
used in administering it as in &C
quiring and saving it. If this rule
were applied by every one, there
would be tremendous elimination of
lost or wasted money.
1t is the part of good thrift to be as
! careful of letting go of your dollars
as you were in getting hold of them.

That Sandstone will properly cele-
brate the Fourth Of July has now
been definitely announced. The Amer
lean Legion post has taken upon itself
the task of providing entertainment
and making it a real celebration.
Sandstone has not celebrated for sew
eral years, as there are no facilities
to properly handle the crowds and fur
nish entertainment, but this year the
celebration will be staged at Grind
stone lake where there will be plenty
of opportunity for dancing, boating,
fishing, bathing and the other sum-
mer sports, and the whole county is
cordially invited to enjoy the day with
the Legion boys. There will be all
kinds of races, sports, etc., for which
prizes will be given and a six-piece
colored orchestra will furnish music
for the dance during the afternoon
and evening. There will also be a
big display of fireworks in the eve
ming. Free transportation will be
provided for anyone in town who
wishes to attend and has no car of
his own. Make your plans now to at
tend this celebration on Wednesday,
July 4th.

THE LIFE OF A COUNTY
COMMISSIONER

"You must have a courteous man
ner
To offset their angry mien;
You must have at least four cylinders
Working steadily in your bean;
You must look up all the tax rolls,
You must cut out quite dab;
You must be a real good fellow,
You must have the gift of CAB;
You must sit up in the Silly night
And learn the session code;
You must see that each poor family
Has provisions by the load;
You must build the roads and bridges
That will cross each brook and rill;
You must supervise the county
You must figure every bill,
You must take the money
That belongs to the county schools,
And what belongs to the villages
To pay for county tools;
You must build the roads and bridges
On every section line,
And do it all in a day or two
And maintain them rain or shine;
You must watch DER all the widows,
And neglect your wife at home;
You must try to build court house
With a shining silver dome;
You must see that each official
Does his duty prompt and true;
And you must not be contrary
In methods you pursue;
Your best friend you must not favor,
You must stay behind the laws;
Which will bring you criticism
When you ought to have applause;
You must write the word progression
With the minimum of expense,
While you listen to the kicking
That offsets your recompense;
You must listen to their ranting
About you stealing county Jack"
You must smile and hold your temper
When you feel like giving them a
whack,
And when your term is over
And the people pay the price,
They will whisper to each other
That you raised the levy twice.
Exchange.
