f'Not Yet Big Boy" Insurance Man
Tells Undertaken, So Story Goes

E. G. McCuskey, insurance man
here, is breaking into print in ma
jority of the weekly newspapers of
the state this week.
It came about like this. The Nor
ton Enterprise dug up an old but
good yarn about "Mac" last week.
Then the Minnesota Editorial asso-
citation, which picks up good stories
here and there and mails them out to
members, found the yarn and sent it
out.
However there are two versions Of
the story, one which has grown
through the years and the, other,
Macs. To be impartial we reproduce
both here:
The Enterprise:
Mac had an operation quite awhile
ago and as soon as possible, he was
taken home to recuperate. A relapse
hit him, and believing he had passed
away, his wife called the undertaken.
The man in the black hat lifted Macs
eyelids and being fairly confident he
was due for some business, sat on
the bed. About that time Mac gain

ming to deliver campaign address,
he will receive no support from the
Redwood county Farmer-Labor or

information that it does not desire to
trade Olson for Townley, now or at
any other time.
When Townley selected a commit
tee of 100 members to consult the
governor on the matter of appoint
ments of alleged non-Farmer-Labor-
ties to public office, John Arnett and
Mike Kramer, Redwood county party
leaders, were included in the group.

both the governor and Mr.. Townley
that they are not in sympathy with
the latter's campaign, it was brought
out at the meeting.
Mr.. Townley's schedule Of speak
ing engagements brings him here

sumed that he will speak on the
streets, probably using sound equip
ment as he has at other times.

COUNTY CORN
HUSKINC CONTEST
ABOUT OCTOBER II
Ted Bake to Enter State Meet
Without Competing in
County Meet

Redwood county's annual corn
husking contest will be held about
October IL in one of several fields
under consideration, Nate H. Bovee,
county agent, stated this week.
The definite date and place prob
ably will not be decided until similar
information about the state contest
has been released. Ted Balko will
not enter the county contest this year
because as state champion he is auto
matically eligible to compete for that
distinction again. He has won three
state meets and placed second once.
In national contests he has won
second, third, fourth and fifth places
but has never been first. Assuming
that he gets through the state meet
again, he is expected to have his best
chance for a national title this sea-
son as the national meet will be at
Fairmont, Minnesota, where condi-
tions are very similar to home fields.
The national contest will be held
about November 8.
The county contestants Will be
limited to IL or Is this year because
the condition Of the corn will make
it impossible to find field where
more than that number can compete
under anywhere near equal condi-
tions.
1t is also difficult to find cleaners,
drivers and weighers for greater
number. It is probable that each con-
testant will be required to furnish
two cleaners and sacks.
Falrmont plans to invite champions
of other states to come there and
practice as in many states corn is
too poor to be picked and will be cut
and shocked or cut for ensilage or
shredded. Martin county has better
than average crops this year and the
contest field will produce between SO
and 60 bushels per acre.
