| Saturday more elimination contests
skating races and more broombau con-
tests. Saturday will witness the intro
duction of ice basketball and baseball

phasize the humorous side of these
sports. They will probably take place

judged on Saturday. The judges fol-
this feature has as yet not been named
Judging by the amount of enthusiasm
engendered in this modelling contest
there will be number of attractive
displays presented for the edification OF
the spectators.
A bonfire and snake dance at the
rink is proposed for Saturday evening
led by a German Band and other at
fractions The evening is scheduled to
close with a grand Jubilee Mixer
dance at the Washington auditorium

this contest.
Sunday, up to noon, there will be an
opportunity for all to attend the
church of his choice with Jubilee events

runs will be called and in which many
of the best cross country runners will
participate. The dog derbies will fol-
low. The run selected for the ski
racers and the dog derbies has not as
yet been announced but it is expected
that the program will be complete for
next weeks paper.
A local "Ice Follies" has been or
ganized for the occasion and these will
perform on Sunday afternoon when
the finals in the sports events will take
place. The evening will close with a
clown and comic dress parade at the
rink to which everyone is invited.
Without a doubt the ely Snow
Jubilee" promises to be one long to
remember. The hope and wish is
freely expressed that the weather will
act decent and give the Jubilee a
chance.

pened back in 1887. ut was in the
afternoon and mother was slipping on
the snow suit that always made you
look so cute. Everything was Upper
fastened in those days, my galoshes,
daddy's jacket, even your little snow
suit. I don't know just how it hap
pened, but as I went to pull that upper
up tight about your little neck to keep
you warm, it caught the skin of your
throat, and there you were, tipped right
into your outfit. OF course it hurt and
you cried little, but soon mother
called a doctor and after cutting the
Upper away from the suit, the doctor
was able to get the skin loose and you
don't even have scar to show for it."

Good Life Aim
Not a Long One.

The great problem of medicine today
is not the saving of child life but the
control of degenerative diseases of mid
die life and old age.
The Minnesota State Medical Associ-
atoms committee on public health
education points that fact out in a
bulletin on the frightening span of life.
issued today.
In 1880 the expectation of life for
white men was SO years; for white
women it was So years. Those figures
represent gain of approximately Is
years since the close of the Revolution
airy War when the figures were ap-
proximately 35 years. These Is years
were added mostly to the lives of babies,
adolescents and young adults, however;
and the death rates for ages beyond
so have remained practically the same.
If modern methods of detecting and
controlling the degenerative diseases
that set in in middle life were put into
practice for everybody, doctors believe
that another ten years could be added
to the average length of life; but man
would still be far from attaining his
maximum span. The. life span is not
the average length of life of human
beings, but the maximum length that
any members of the specie have been
able to attain. That figure is a little
more than 100 years.
1t will take some dramatic advances
| in medicine to stretch the years at the
end Of life to this maximum. These
advances may come, according to the
bulletin. In the meantime, however,
there is much that can be done to curb
cancer deaths, control heart disease and
prevent deaths form accidents, that will
make the present average years of life
useful and comfortable to the end.

"NOONANISMS"
(From the Baudette Region)

Smutty magazines are dirtying up the
minds of the young. They should be
stopped.
Every time we meet a man from
Koochiching county We don't know
whether he is sneezing or just trying
to tell us where he comes from.
Here is some bad news for drinkers
You can get liver trouble from drinking
the stuff, and now a doctor says YOU
can get water on the elbow from leaning
on the bar.
If your caboose is too big, try those
three miles on the hoof daily.
Bronko NaglTsk is proving the value
of a college education. He has made a
fortune at football and wrestling.
Last week the International Falls
Journal, in the Myers-Kyler writeup,
married off the bridesmaid instead of
the bride. However, the Region still
holds the championship. Once we re-
ported a birth three weeks before it
happened and had to take to the alley
to get to work.
Don't get gray and bald worrying
what will happen to you in 1888. It
probably won't.
"a stout heart will carry us through
the recession" says a Democrat writer.
A little money would be no handicap
either.
A writer says married men are more
inventive than bachelors. Especially
at inventing alibis.
One of their writers says that the
souls of the Communists are shining.
So are the seats of their pants.
Times would pick up fast if the
government would encourage citizens to
go into business instead of out of it.
A town is never kept alive by people
who spend their money outside it.
A city paper had an editorial the
other day about the JAP Chinese war,

Here's proof positive that winter
fishing is most disastrous upon the
female fish population 33-pound
muskellunge, speared through the
ice of a northern Minnesota lake.
When she was opened, this fish
yielded thousands of eggs that might
have Matched out into young musk
les. A ban on all winter fishing in
Minnesota is expected to stop such
slaughter of game fish this year.
