Held In Former Red

Final arrangements for the stag
ing of the two Good Will Days in
Sank Centre, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, October 5th and 9Th, were
made at a meeting of the entire
committee Monday evening. En-
thusiasm is at high pitch as every
member of the committee is striv-
ing for one of the best shows ever
staged on the streets of Sank Gen.
ire.
As one of the features of the
celebration, the Community
Club, through its committee,
has made arrangements for
serving free beer and wiener
sandwiches during the two
days. The hours for serving
have been set at 1890 to 1870
p. m, and 700 to 500 p. m.
each day.
To make the celebration more
complete the committee has gone
to considerable expense in booking
a company of entertainers, which
will present thirteen acts on the
stage to be erected at the corner
of Third and Main Streets.
The celebration will open at 1890
Tuesday noon when the committee
will serve free beer and wiener
sandwiches to the city's guests and
the serving will be followed by a
concert by the Sank Centre band.
The program for Good WIN Days
will be opened with a colorful Mar
di Gras parade, which will wend its
way through the streets at two
o'clock. In this parade children of
the schools and businessmen Of the
city and others will participate.
Farmers are also invited to take
part in this gala carnival parade.
This carnival event will include
cowboys, clowns, colorful uniform
ed children, tramps, and several
large headed people; an innovation
new to Sank Centre. The parade is
open to anyone who wishes to par
ticipate. It is staged for the purpose
of opening the Good Will Days in
carnival spirit. All schools Of the
city will be closed Tuesday after
noon.

istrative advisor, Minnesota Agri-
cultural Extension Service, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, during a SER

lily business transactions held in
Stearns county this past week.
Discussing contracts, Mr.. Falvey
gave four essential elements of a
valid contract, and he pointed out
various kinds of written or verbal
contracts and advised those at
tending the meetings as to how
long a contract was enforceable
and what to do when the terms of
a contract were not fulfilled. In ad-
dition, Mr.. Falvey went further in
to ordinary family business trans
actions and fully discussed checks
and promissory notes. He explain
ed several types of endorsements
and why each type was used and
stressed several points to remem-
Der when making out checks and
notes.

ker of note or check your liability

to fulfill the obligation" said Mr..
Falvey. do not endorse notes OF
checks made by person who is
known to be financially unsound.'
In discussing real estate, Mr.. Fal-
vey explained the landlord and ten
ant relationship when a piece of
land is rented. He explained also
the usual duties of tenant in such
a case and also the tenants rights
during his period Of tenure. Anoth-
er matter affecting family real es-
tate problems explained by Mr.. Fal-
vey was the interest of the husband
and wife in each others property
following marriage. The transfer OF
the interest in land from one per-
son to another by deed was explain
ed by Mr.. Falvey, as were the three
types Of deeds-the warranty deed
which contains the statement that
the property is free and clear of all
encumbrances and claims except
those specifically mentioned, the
quit claim deed which merely
transfers whatever interest a party
may have and contains no warran-
tee, and the sheriff's deed which
transfers property sold under mort
gage foreclosure or seized to salts
fly debt.
The special rights the holder of
a homestead enjoys, the making of
wills and how property descends

LAVE you ever taken mirror pic.
IL lures; that is, for example, a
picture Of sister or the "girl friend
standing in front of a mirror perhaps
"dolling up" a bit or maybe just adj
miring herself?
1t is the unusual that attracts at
tention but it is necessary to use
your eyes and little imagination
and ingenuity to ferret out the ex-
ceptional and get pictures that show
individuality.
When making mirror pictures and
focusing for reflected images only,
it is necessary to add the distance
from the mirror to the subject, to the
distance from the mirror to the lens
of the camera and then set the focus
accordingly.
If it is desired to include the SUBJ
ject in the picture with the reflected
image the focus should be set for the
distance from the mirror to the lens.
The smaller the lens opening the
greater the depth of field and the
sharper will be both images. CT
course. the nearer the subject is to
the mirror the less Is required il the
matter of depth.
Let us suppose that sister Mary
is two feet and the camera six feet
from the mirror. If you want to in
clude sister, as well as her reflected
image, in the picture, set the focus
at six feet. If you want only the re-
fiected image in the picture, you set
the focus at eight feet. A photof1ash
lamp simplifies your exposure prob
lem and permits a small enough lens
opening to gain a sufficient range of
sharpness.
After locating your subject in the
finder and setting the focus of your
camera at the proper distance, set
the shutter for time, place 8
photof1ash bulb in an ordinary floor
lamp within reaching distance from
the camera, fitting the shade slightly
upward and toward the subject. If
you cannot tilt the shade, remove it
from the lamp. 1t is best not to have
any bright lights burning near the
lens of the camera. Set your lens
opening according to the table on
the photofash lamp container. Take
your position at the camera, press
the cable release to open your shut
ter and Immediately turn on the

ESQ Certified by Examiner; Ely
Has 2 Out of IL With Good
Marks Not Accepted.

Appointment of 148 game wardens
from an eligible list of $50 candidates
certified by the chief examiner of the
department was announced last week
by Herman C. Wenzel, conservation
commissioner of Minnesota.
II was stated that 106 of the former
wardens were reappointed. Mr.. Wenzel
also stated that five former wardens
failed to qualify in the competitive ex-
aminationS and seventeen received
qualifying marks but were not reap
pointed. 1t was also stated that nine
former wardens will be given employ
ment at state game refugees.
Under the new organization of game
law enforcement, the state is divided
into eighteen districts, each in charge
of warden supervisor. Supervisors in
each district will be in charge of from
six to ten wardens, depending on the
district.
Edward McKeever, OF Duluth, deputy
director of the division OF game and
fish will be in charge Of all wardens.
Martin O'Toole will continue as chief
warden.
Pressure is being exerted from some
sources to retain wardens in their
present locations or to locate new war
dens in the districts where they live
Mr.. Wenzel stated
However, the fact that this was an
open, competitive examination, with ap-
proximately 1,7O0 applications received
from all sections of the state, makes it
necessary to locate the wardens from the
qualified list according to the needs of
the service, regardless of the residence
of the applicants" he said
1t is stated that all future appoint
ments to vacancies will be made from
the list of those candidates who passed
the civil service tests but were not APP
pointed. Such candidates will remain
on the eligible list for a period of not
to exceed two years.

AS Little Santa Claus
Canary Was a Success

w JITH Christmas so near and
w no money for a gift for
w Media Langley, his sweet
heart and inspiration for compos-
ing, and now this cold rainy day,
Carl Woods felt very low spirited.
Then he saw the little bird out
side the window He opened the
window-the bird flew in and
perched on the piano where it
seemed quite at home. Standing by
the piano wondering what to do with
his visitor, Carl let his fingers wan
der over the keys. "Tweet tweet, :"
the bird said and then began to sing
Justify. Intensely interested, Carl
continued playing and as long as he
played the bird sang.
Suddenly realizing he was playing
something he had never heard be-
fore, Carl began making note of
what he had been playing. Growing
chilled, he arose to close the WIN
dow he had left open. To his sur
prise, the bird was gone, nor could
it be found in the room. He couldn't
remember when he had last heard
it singing. Where could it be?
Looking across the court of the
apartment building he noticed in the
window opposite, a bird cage, and
a canary was hopping around on the
window sill. Although the window
was closed now, it must have been
open earlier and the bird had taken
advantage of it's freedom.
Whether it was the same bird
that had visited Carl, he and Media
always felt it was and called it
Little Santa Claus" for it had
brought happiness and prosperity,
