The Sauk Centre herald., 1936-08-20

another story one you all know. O
the way back he hit big water an
rough water, so decided he'd hav
to put up on an Island. Approach
ing an uninhabited island he dis
cerned the approach Of a put-pu
(motor boat and putting on hi
most distressed face flashed tn
sos to all ships standing by tina
ne was without assistance. Havin
on him over they cam
and towed him.
It's q small world, for up In
those vast reaches he found
persons who knew persons that
knew persons that he knew and
SO he found himself in the role
of q guest dining without the
benefit of opening his KNAPP
sack. Mr.. Werner, may we go
canoeing with you sometime?
We understand that for Mr.. Ver
ner's services in fighting fores
tires the Canadian Government
owes him fifty cents. My, my, sucl
expansion of the Can
adian national debt would not b
.olerated in this country.
An On-To-NicOllet Day has
been arranged for Sauk Centre
for September 4th when Mil
waulxee meets the Millers. Now
besides furnishing q days en-
tertainment for baseball fans
of this community, 1t affords q
neat bit Of advertising for this
Main Street community. Radio
broadcast, parading up NicOl-
let Avenue, hotel headquarters
arranged, and various other
courtesies are offered by Min
neapolis. But here's the stick
or. No one has officially signi-
fled his or her intention of go
ing. Some have said they would
like to 90, but the official sane
tion that viii be recognized Is
plunlxing the legal tender of the
realm ON the line and purchas-
ing q ticket It can't be q last
minute decision; these ar
rangements must be made In
advance. Unless several hum
dred can go from this town, 1t
would be well to drop the whole
matter and folding our tents
like the Arabs settle once more
into our dreamless sleep. 1t
would be an imposition and q
folly to try to put this thing
through without the helpful Co
operation of several hundred
Sauk Centreites. Other towns
have done 1t, why can't we?
The imposition would fall on
those Minneapolis organizations
that handle the arrangements
for these events.
Herr Hitler Is like the Might!
3arnum. Something colossal, some
hing new, something positively 81
yantic is his watchword. So tn
,ther day he wheeled in one of hi
rack outfits to strut the goosestel
n front Of the throngs-just t
iorta impress the visitors that the!
we're in the Vaterlandt. It is reveal
ID in a word picture that American
Lthletes cleaned their finger nail
sr powdered their noses during thu
demonstration and to show tina
hey hardly knew what was goini
IN, quoth one: What good Is
,unch of goosesteps when the U
J. has jack rabbit like JESSE
owens?
It was just a year ago that a
certain cotton-picker tried to
strut big city stuff in front Of
a bunch of old hands at the
farmin' game and gave rise to
a crisis that threatened the har-
mony not only of baseball but
of the agricultural situation it
self. The offending weevil was
one, Dizzy Dean, who with the
st. Louis Cardinals invaded the
bush leagues and at PICKERING
Valley 1--WE call 1t st. PauD re-
fused to give the fans a sample
of his old right arm. Well, the
Diz showed up nobly last week
when at the same said city he
went right out and was con-
genial with the pOpulace and
even consented to pitch a few
balls to opposing batters. So q
Civil War was averted. Goes to
show what q right arm can do.
If anyone asks US that's all
there is-just q right arm
with q cotton picker on the
Joint end.
Former member Of the loca
COUNTRY Club, Spick Frank, had
landy day on the local course Sun
lay. Hailing now from Redwoot
Falls, Spick joined several Of thu
ocal golfers for a round or two
hat day. He sank puts for brides
N several holes and emerged will
A-one over the course record
8, held by Walt Moynihan. No
,ad when you consider he played
With borrowed clubs-and, oh yes
his brothers pants.
Said Spick as he spied his ball
nestled in the lea Of . bunker
In q sandtrap land hitching up
his borrowed trousers), THAT'S
funny. First time I've been In 4
sand trap this year." Eyeing the
Law of the Land for the best ap-
proach he was accOsted with,
