Making Progress
In Membership

The % members of the Junior
! Executives Division of the cham
Der Of commerce who comprise the
membership committee are hard at
work to obtain additional members,
and report that an enthusiastic
welcome awaits them wherever they
call. Managers and FroPrietors OF
the city 5 leading business concerns
are apparently eager that the
Younger men of their organizations
shall affiliate themselves with the
junior body, for the trimming they
will derive and the business ac-
quaintauceships they will thereby
form.
Because of the lively competition
for the H. \. Hanson trophy cup,
to he awarded the junior who OBJ
taius tine most new members for the
organization, none of the commit
.eemen was willing to disclose Just
wv many applications he had safely
secured and tucked away. The JIM
iors will meet at the chamber Of
commerce rooms on Tuesday night,
and make their returns, bringing
with them the newly affiliated mem
hers At that meeting il viii be
necessary for the Younger body to
select one of their number TO re-
present the Junior Division at the
Southwestern Conference, to he
held at San Diego next Thursday,
at which time FL Ceutro will join
with other organizations Of the
Southwest in demanding the estab-
lishment of the southern air mail

LETTER TO SANTA
BROUGHT RESULTS
Gazette Santa Letter Is Ans
wered in Form of Police
Dog for Gift

Santa visited little Thomas Crooks.
He visited Thomas much in the man.
ner that Thomas would have had him
visit. 1t seems that Thomas wanted
police dog for Christmas, and
wanting one, he made up his mind
that he would get one if it was at all
possible, so when the Gazette offered
prizes for letters to Santa, Thomas
thought that this means of advertis-
ing might have some effect with
Santa. This is what the young man
wrote:
Dear Santa Claus:
Will you please bring me police
dog. l want a she, then / can give
one pup to Roger and one to Arden.
| don't want any other but a police
dog. | think you had better send it
on the train, so it won't get hurt
with the other things. Feed her a
great deal so she won't get hungry
on the way. Pm going to call her
Buddy. Your dearest friend,
Grade 3. R. F. Thomas Crooks.
Mr.. John Mckay of Delhi, seeing
Thomas letter to Santa acted the
part of the Good Samaritan Santa
and gave the lad a police dog for his
Christmas. 1t is unnecessary to
state that Thomas was pleased with
his present from Santa and that he
really believes in Santa, as every
one does, and that the old adage,
1T pays to Advertise, was upheld.

SLEEPY EYE DOCTOR
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Auto COllides Near Evan with
That of Salesman from
Minneapolis

The right front side of his Chrys-
ler coupe bent and smashed, DR.. A.
P. Goblirsch of Sleepy Eye escaped
unhurt in a bad auto smash-up which
occurred on Friday morning of last
week at a crossroad a mile south OF
Evan, his machine colliding with that
of Theodore Terhune of Minneapolis.
a salesman, who was driving Nash
Special sedan.
A Slight mist in the air together
with the fog which hung low to the
ground was primarily the cause OF
the wreck, since it obstructed all
view of an approaching car. DR..
Goblirseh, who was returning from a
professional call to Wanda, saw the
Minneapolis car when he reached the
corner, but it was too late to avoid
the crash. Mr.. Terhune apparently
failed to see the Chrysler until he
reached the center of the crossroad,

COUNTY SHERIFFS
EXPECT TO MEET
Governor ChristiansOn Expected
to Call Meeting of All Sher-
ifs and Co. Attorneys

Sheriff L. j. Kise, in common with
all other sheriffs in Minnesota, is
expecting to be called to st. Paul
early next month. Leon H. Brown,
county attorney, will also be included
in the invitation, which is expected
to come from Governor Christianson.
Announcement was made last
week that the governor was to call
a conference of all Minnesota sher-
ifs, county attorneys, and peace Of
ficers, to work out a program Of To-
cal enforcement of liquor laws.
State and local officers, in places
where the laws are reasonably well
enforced, such as Redwood county
and others, will be asked to tell the
other fellows how they do it, and it
will be then put up to officers in
counties where the liquor laws are
honored more in the breach than in
the observance, to do likewise.
The governor has the power to re-
move from office any sheriff or
county attorney who refuses or neg
lects to enforce any law. In some
parts of the state, it is reported,
there is scarcely an effort made for
local enforcement, the local officers
on the federal authorities.
Conditions are bad ip such localities,
and it is stated that Gogernor Chris
tianson recognizes this, hence the
proposed call.
Minnesota sheriffs will have their
annual convention early in January,
and It Is anticipated that the can
viii coincide with that time.
