golden wedding Sunday, April Is.
1917. There was no celebration. It
was marked only by congratulatory
letters from children and grand
children, who were too distant to
be present. Yet the event was his
torical. It was the first golden
wedding Of a couple married in
Sank Centre. Mr.. Schieffer was a
stage driver, his wife, jeanette

Roaring crowds greeted boxers
and wrestlers in the athletic arena
the other eve at the school carni-
val. One of the popular midway at
fractions, the arena sported boxers
from Melrose and wrestlers from
Osakis, matched with the boys
from the local school. While most
Of the local boys took leather fly
ing in the face and grimaced in
pain as the more experienced boys
from the surrounding hamlets ap-
piled the pressure, some there were
who were too much for visiting
material. Said Coach Harvey, I'VE
tripled the gate receipts over last
year, and I have real plans for an
athletic show next year"
One boy impressed this two
fingered correspondent with
his gameness and his skill in
the wrestling game. Although
Red COkeley lost his match to
Barrett, Of Osakis, he pulled
out of a tough spot that had
the whole crowd with him.
Barrett was crushing his mid
section with q body scissors
and at the same time applying

THIS NJ THAT ABOUT THE
SENIOR HI

On Wednesday, April 18th, Mr..
Law, a representative OF the Min
nesota State Fire Prevention AS
ISOLATION, spoke to both the Jun
ior and senior high student bodies
on the subject Of fire prevention.
He stated that i reduction OF loss
by fire can only be brought about
by education, a changed viewpoint,
and an appreciation of the present
tremendous fire loss.
JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES
Mr.. Jensen from Dassel, Mimi.
presented the Junior high people
with an interesting entertainment
on birds. Mr.. Jensen was in Sank
Centre a few years ago and then
gave an interesting display OF
birds and q talk. He had many
mounted birds and colorful charts
of them. He passed around hum.
ming bird nest made OF dawn from
the cottonwood tree and fastened
to the limb by spider web. The bird
uses green licken to resemble the
branch.
The five harmful birds which
should be killed off are the crow
cowbird, bronz grackle, English
sparrow and starting. The brons
grackle destroys the duck eggs and
therefore should be killed to save
our ducks.
This talk was very much enjoy
ed by every one.
Community singing was held ir
the junior higa school Tuesday
morning. 1t was a promise given t.
them If the Carnival Queen was
elected from their assembly.

Two knockouts doomed on the
boxing card. John Egan, one Of the
best conditioned athletes ever to
report, punched his way smoothly
over Hinnenkamp, of Melrose, to
score q knockout. He clouded up
and rained punches all over the
hapless Hinnenkamp, knocking
him groggy. Flooring his victim
several times, John remained
fresh as a daisy. The last time the
Melrose puncher arose he couldn't
find his adversary and well-plac-
ed punch polished him off. Kleber,
Melrose lightning puncher, is the
other boy who handed out knock
out to Potter. Putting Potter at
disadvantage quickly he backed
him against the ropes. So much
/ leather flew into Potter's face that
spectators thought they were in the
cattle country. And Potter went
out for the count.

If the sporting drivel that exudes
from the grapevine telegraph OF
the schools reaches this scribbler's
ears untarnished with the fancies
of mouth to mouth distributors,
then we've got a hot tip on some
good COINS on ever thar. It seems
that the two foys who achieved
knockouts in Friday nights go, are
not exactly falling in love with
each other. Rumor even has 1t
that there is bad blood between
Egan and the Melrose flash, Kle-
Der. Now this corner wouldn't go
so far as to say that, but the re-
port persists in circulating to the
effect that Kleber said he could
knock Egan's ears down. And
Egan Is not In the mood for such
idle banter, and his ears are all
right as they are. SO the boys, II

this corner would just as soon be

ficiating that bout. Our money
goes on Egan as the boy with the
most unbeatable chin, but Klebel
gets our vote as the speed artist.
While rheumatism besieges
some and the spring breezes
play nimbly about cooling
edges of our frames, these high
school athletes appear-in OF
all things-the abbreviated full

fact chills assailed our CULVER
