D. B. Caughren
Won Blind Bogey
Sixteen Golfers Entered In Tour
nament On Country Club
Course Sunday Morn.

A soggy courses did crazy things
to some Of the best executed shots
Sunday when local golfers staged
an 1Shole blind Oh DOGGY tourna-
ment. D. B. Caughren with an 80
won the match and the blind DOGGY
drawing. Westhoff, with 76, had
low net score There were about
sixteen entries.
Heavy weekend, rains slowed the
greens and made the fairways sog-
gy. Puts were slowed up and
drives were cut in distance by the
wet element. That the uncertainty
Of the speed of the green lent Lady
Luck an aiding hand is shown in
the neat shot Of Johnny Dubois.
Johnny approached the first green
with lie about twenty yards from
the pin at the outer end of the
west bunker. He Clipped his shot
and with perfect arc 1t made for
the cup and holed. Conversely Lar
ry Cooper didn't fair so we'll. His
ball took a stand only short dis
lance from the cup. His putt, look
ing to be set up, took peculiar
twist and made a complete turn
around the cup-they're still look
ing for his club.

WIDELY TRAVELLED
HITCH HIKER"
Miles In All Kinds of Vehicles
500 Miles A Day

One of hitch-hiking's widely
travelled opponents Wilfred Hetzel,
has rounded the world one and a
half times, yet his travels have
been confined only to Is states. He
estimates that his travels via the
thumb have totalled up to $4,000
miles.
Hetzel has ridden in hundreds Of
vehicles and with drivers in all
walks of life. Last April, making
the last lap of a 75-day trip
through the midwest, he was pick
ed up by Hjalmar Peterson, sue
ceeding Governor of Minnesota
since the death of the late Floyd
b. Olson. Many a motorist has been
the prey of his never-tiring thumb.
BY that method he has covered at
times 500 miles a day, and most no
table among his flying trips found
him traversing the 600 miles from
st. Louis to Pittsburgh in less
than IA hours. Wilfred has good
slant on many different types Of
individuals because of his travels,
and as the saying goes-"has learn
ed the tricks of the trade"

FROG HAS FIVE LEGS

If he could shake hands, he
could grip with two hands your
done extended hand. A freak In
animal anatomy occurred in a
home grown frog and he now Is
on exhibit at Elmer's Barber
shop. The specimen, the COM
mon green frog one finds In
Sank Lake, has five legs with
the fifth an off shoot Of the left
fore leg. The extra appendage
has five toes, in place of the
usual four, and Is used actively
by the frog. Both legs seem to be
normal in detail and bone
structure, and apparently the
frog is otherwise normal. He
was caught to be used for fish
ing bait by Bud Soltau and just
as he was about to be pierced
by the hook, Bud noticed the
unusual structure. When the frog
dies, Mr.. Soltau expects to
mount him. From such humble
beginnings in collections Phin-
las Barnum built the greatest
show on earth.

urday and death came at 1927 on
Sunday morning. Pneumonia
caused his death.
Born In Varmland, Sweden, In
1871, he attended school In Sweden,
spending vacations on the Baltic
sea with his father on coastwise
vessel. He became a glassblower In
factory at 16, and at 20 came to
America. For two winters he work
ed in lumber camps Of Minnesota
and Wisconsin and In summer In
Minneapolis lumber yards. A lump
on his shoulder, that he carried
through life, was the result Of car
rying heavy boards.
With his savings he bought 40
acres Of timberland In Meeker
county in 1893, for SIS an acre. He
settled there, married a Swedish
girl and set out to make a farm
Of 1t. His wife died in 1899; he mar
ried again, this time a Yankee"
girl, Harriet Dorman, descendant
of General Israel Putnam Of the
Revolutionary War. Presently he
expanded, adding to his acreage.
And there he maintained his home.
When the Non-partisan League
was in full blast Magnus was one
of its ardent supporters. In 1922
he was a candidate under the Far
mer-labor movement for governor,
but was defeated. In 1928 he was
elected as United States Senator,
having defeated ]. A. 0. Preus. In
1924 he lost to Thomas Schall. In
1926 he was defeated by Governor
Theodore Christensen as governor.
In 1882 he was elected as a Con-
gresham at large, in the congress
sional mix-up. In 1884 he was de-
feated by Congressman Harold
Knutson in the Congressional race
in the Sixth District. He was struck
by an automobile in st. Paul Janu-
airy 20. Pneumonia set in and ap-
parently well he was discharged
from the hospital March 14th He
had relapse later from which he
was unable to rally. Thus ended a
! colorful political career.

score on a wild pitch. Smith walk
ed, took second on an infield out
and scored as Rausch poked a hit
over first.
The Eagles made it 81 in the
5th as G. Rengel battered a hit to
left and romped home as Smiths
left center skier fell for bases,
when HUFFMAN misjudged the drive
in the wind. After having their
guns silenced for rounds, the
Melrose swatters again spoke their
piece in the 7th. Lemm and Kutz-
man were safe on hobbies and the
former counted as Fisher crashed
hit over second. HUFFMAN was
registered on Matchinskfs bounder
to Meinz. The Eagles forged ahead
in their half when, with 2 out G.
Rengel, walked, stole twice and
registered as Moening booted
Smiths savage grounder.
With gone in the 9th Fisher
provided the game with Dick
Meriwell touch by smacking one
far, wide and handsome to nego-
tiate the circuit but Matchinsky
walked Winters with 2 away in the
last half and the speedy Saint
stole second, raced to third on the
overthrow where he remained I'M
til the following weird succession
of events had eliminated in the de-
Gliding run when an extra inning
battle appeared imminent.
Winters in rounding third was
waved home by the coach but hes
itated enough to allow Fisher time
to recover Rolfzen's peg and hurl
it to Well who needlessly threw
home. The toss, being wild, bounced
away from the catcher but Winters
refused to gamble on trying to
score, though Matchinsky covered
home plate expecting the attempt,
and, when after receiving the
catcher's throw he perceived Win
tiers walking leisurely back to third
he fired a bullet-like throw to
Moening at third who happened to
be mapping at the time and thus
the winning tally was easily chalk
ed up.

Among a group of forty-one
Scouters from all sections Of the
nation was r. B. Kowalke, local
high school instructor, and active
ly connected with both local and
central Minnesota Scouting, at
tending the National Executives
Training School operated at Colon
ial Manor near Mendham, New
Jersey, an hours drive from New
York City. The men were under
the strictest RECOMMENDATION during
the thirty-day camp period in the
picturesque old manor.
The only representative Of Re-
gion 10, according to the divisions
set up by the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea he was not only Minnesota's
sole delegate but also represented
a territory that comprises North
and South Dakota, Wyoming,
Montana and a part of Wisconsin.
How rigid are the measures taken
in regard to applications, is shown
by the fact that while 1913 men APP
piled for the course. only 48 re-
ceived letters of acceptance. All &C
copied were college graduates, and
two-thirds were in the educational
field,
During the thirty-day period in
structions were under Scouters
from the National offices, and
James E. West himself, whose idea
fostered the Scouting movement
more than twenty-five years ago
was there Prominent men from
Columbia University and others in
the vicinity of New York City were
instructors. The entire field Of
Scouting was covered from the ex-
ecutive's angle. Whether it was in
Rural Scouting, Sea Scouting, Cub
bling, or any phase they had men
who knew the best methods of con-
Quoting the department. The best
OF everything cleaned from all
sections of the country was incor-
porated into this course. In the
program of finance, for instance,
methods have been studied from
every section of the country and
the finest parts of all these meth
DDS have been nodded into what is
up to now the best.
In the National Scouting Offices,
in New York which the group Wis
tied there are 325 persons employ
ed. It is hailed in that city of large
offices as nearly the ultimate in
the arrangement of detail and In
efficiency.
It was interesting, said Mr.. Kow-
alike to meet a troop Of 35 Scout
ers from Poland who toured this
country this summer. The group
spoke German and through the
medium of that language Mr.. Kow-
alike and others of the Executive
School were able to exchange ideas
with them. They visited also one of
the most prominent Boy Scout
camps in this country. Known as
Treasure Island Camp it is located
on an island in the Delaware Riv-
er, and in leadership and equip
ment is about the last word.
Mr.. Kowalke continued that he
had never known a place where
they were under such strict regula-
tons, yet the education he receiv-
ed was beyond value. He returns
with broader and bigger perspect-
i've of the Scouting movement.
These forty-one men attending are
equipped now for any executive
position in any part of the country.

In the corn division Sylvester
Meyer Of Richmond Lakeside

Richmond Lakeside club was or
ganized last year and great deal
Of credit must be given to Sylvester
for putting his local club on the
may as far as Stearns county 4-H
clubs are concerned.
In the Home Economies division
all of the Stearns county All girls
did remarkably well although the
competition was exceptionally
keen. Mary Schwinghamer, Of Al
