Local Boy Scouts
Gather Clothing
Under Direction of Local Red
Gross Unit-TO Be Used
For Needy

In a snow storm that made the
work difficult, Boy Scouts of this
city called at nearly $50 Sank Cen
ire homes Saturday in an "old
clothes" drive cooperating with the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross and the Gradatim club.
Launched last January upon the
suggestion of the Boy Scouts head
quarters with the authorization of
the Red Cross, the old clothes
drive was begun at the time of the
winter floods. 1t was suggested
that Scouts contact homes to find
where clothing was available to be
in readiness to ship clothing to
flood-stricken areas. Since the call
from the flood areas never came, 1t
was deemed advisable to gather the
clothes to be handled locally by the
Gradatim club.
"A telephone committee Friday af-
ternoon contacted many of the
homes that had designated their
willingness to give last January
Saturday morning about 20 Scouts
equipped with four cars called in
several hours time at nearly 15C
homes. Reports are that large
pile of old clothing awaiting sort
ing and classification now rests In
the storing place.
While the boys undertook good
sized job, they reported a good
time doing it. Everywhere they
said persons treated them well In
spite of misunderstanding that
arose when the clothing was not
collected last winter. When their
cars were stuck several times in
the new fallen snow, the Scouts got
a good workout in pushing them
out.

SOME THRILLER

A craving to see the sights of
the city, led little Buddy Trait
ties, about 81 years old, to de-
wise a way for accomplishing
that purpose. He climbed upon
the front bumper Of the car be-
longing to his father, A. D.
Trattles, farmer residing two
miles west Of the city, and rode
into town. He was not discover
ed until his father parked the
car in the city, and the little
fellow was then removed safe
and sound and none the worse
for his precarious trip. Need
less to say, he enjoyed the time
in the city. Upon arriving at his
home he told his mother that he
had to get to town once in
awhile. To add to the dangers of
the trip the front bumper was
loose, but luckily Mr.. Trattles
drove slow. Buddy, as a regular
fellow, will have one day Of
thrills to look back to, as the
years roll by.

Late Ice Break on
Lake Predicted
Week of Warm Weather Necessary
To Clear Sank Lal1e-RecOrds
of Past Years

Sank Lake may play "possum"
this spring. According to present
indications a four-year record in
hardness for the ice going out may
be set this year. Last years date
for the going out party Of the ice
was April Goth according to records
available from H. F. Bastien.
With little evidence Of honey
combing as yet, the solidity Of the
ice this year points to the fact that
Old Man Weather will have to get
plenty "hot" to beat the exodus of
last years ice sheet. 1t is expected
that a solid week Of really warm
weather would be needed to put
the ice on the run. A heavier
blanket of snow covered the lake
this year and is partially blamed
for the late run on the ice crop.
Records show 1884 to be the
record year in the last four when
the ice went out on April 8. 1885
was a step behind with April 18th
the day, and 1886 moved up to the
10th. What's your guess for 81?

Vote
Cast In City
Ballot Tues.
Total of 395 Residents Exer.
cised Franchise-Less
Than A Fourth Vote
A VERY QUIET AFFAIR
Ed Besser, JOS. Miller and
Carl Eckberg Chosen
AS Councilmen

Tuesdays city election was a
very quiet affair-in fact it drew
forth the lightest vote in modern
history Of the city. Only 395 resi-
dents exercised their right of fran
chise; a trifle less than a fourth of
the total city vote.
Four candidates had filed for the
three aldermanic positions, and
none of them carried on intensive
or even light campaigns in their
behalf. This may have been the
cause for the light vote cast.
In the First Ward 153 votes were
cast, while in the Second Ward
242 voters expressed their prefer
ences in the election.
Ed Besser, who filed for elective
office in this city for the first time
in this election, led the ticket with
total of 800 votes. While Jos.
Miller and Carl Ecl1berg, both
members of the present council,
followed in order. The result of
Tuesdays voting was as follows.
