Big Shot?-At the Shrine cere-
monial last Friday evening at the
State Fair Grounds hippodrome
when Osman and Zuhrah temples
staged a big affair, in paraded Bal
dy Forsberg, young Noble, and two
friends. Finding seating space
mite cramped, they spied three
seats and planted themselves.
CHANGING around they discovered to
their CONSERVATION that they oc-
cupied box seat reserved for Po-
tentates and the higher uppers :.
Badly tells of the slick way to fly
Old Glory. You've seen the flag
limp and lifeless on a pole inside
a building. The Shriners fixed it
the other night, though. On the pole
they mounted two fans playing
from the pole end of the flag
which created an artificial breeze
and the flag rippled with life :.
Hash-Some of youse guys who
have thought your correspondent
screwy for clinging to only brown
shoes for several years, may have
read Ced Adams the other night
when he said Minneapolis males
prefer brown footwear Joe
Frank is reputedly the funniest of
the towns funsters. At every gath
ering he is the center of loud guf-
flaws. His flow of linguistic buff
foonery seems never to cease and
his quips are tops Promotion:
When the latest offspring arrived
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Bill
Bryan among the natal gifts was
one from Doc Mayer. The gift was
a small set Of teeth fashioned by
Docs own hands. Il heard that you
have an arrival in the family with
out teeth" said the accompanying
note Dewey O'Gara is getting
himself a swell coat Of tan beat
ing out the summers vacationers
.. He gets it he says from gazing
upward at the workers atop his
garage.
Nabor-Doc wager has a dog
that he had better train again. Gin
ger is the pups name, and he has
the neighborly habit of Juggling
rubbers and overshoes from the va
ger home to those Of the neigh
bors. Then Doc has to organize a
posse to round up his missing arti-
cles. Maybe the dog knows that
one about It's better to give
How Come-(mootch over, we'd
like to philosophical With the pick
up in the marriage mart this June
when girl after girl Is becoming a
June bride, economists point that
out as indicative Of returning pros
perity. But gosh, the winters are
long >. It's a peculiar world, 1t
seems. Why is it that when a cou-
pie take their trek to the altar it's
her wedding, and when Sir Stork
visits the Round Table Of the home
and drops a precious little bundle,
the old man takes the plaudits? -.
Then why do men become so en-
crossed in their business they can
talk nothing but shop -.
Vanishing Americans-In the
swift moving days we now live in
on every hand things commonly as
ISOLATED with Amercanism are
passing. Decentralization Of our fair
city Is one Of these. On every hand
famous old homes in Sank Centre,
once lively with livery and stable
equipment, are abandoning the
barns. Frank Bunker Is one of the
most recent to convert his two
story horse and buggy hangover
into a coverlet for the horseless
carriage. A barn was synonymous
with every good household in the
days just past, now the transforma-
ton is vanishing from the scene Of
American life-the old stable. It's
the place where the kids used to
play in the smelly hay on rainy
days. It's where Dad spent his va
cant hours currying his favorite
horse-and smoked his pipe when
Nom wouldn't let him do It in
