nuts, the sweetest little nuts in the
world. That is what Buster Bear
says, anyway, but perhaps he isn't q
fair judge.
Those brown three-sided little nuts
were the gift Of the silver-barked
beech trees for the JOY and well-being
of some of their feathered and furred
neighbors. All summer long those nuts
had been growing in little prickly
husks on the beautiful beech trees.
At first they had been green, but with
the coming Of fall they had turned
brown. Now had come Jack Frost, on
still October night, and opened the
prickly little husks. Merry Little

in winter are bare of leaves. Already
they were partly bare and the leaves

The Hawks had finished sixth in
league of eight teams and bare
ly edged into the Stanley Cup finals.
First they took on the Montreal
Canadiens. Everybody said they'd
be pushover. In the first game it
looked as if the prediction would
come true. The Canadiens won.
Then the teams moved to Chicago
and the Hawks captured two games,
winning the right to meet the New
York Americans, winners of the
series between the second-place
teams of the leagues two divisions.
In the series with the Americans
the Hawks repeated their winning
performance. That put them in the
finals for the Stanley Cup which
never before had been won by an
American team managed by an
American. Their opponents were
the admittedly superior Toronto
Maple Leafs. The Hawks were on
the spot.
The first game was at Toronto.

Politics Again

League politics again interviewed
and Moore was declared ineligible
for the second game. Paul Good
man, an inexperienced recruit who
had never seen a major league
hockey game, was substituted.
Goodman was easy for the Leaf
marksmen. Red Horner, the Leafs
bad man, contributed to the rout by
breaking the nose of Doc Romnes
and cutting Hawks Roger Jenkins
and Louis Trudell to the skull with
his stick. The Leafs won 5 to /.
Back they came to Chicago for
the third and fourth games. Mike
Karakas was back in the nets, his
broken toe protected by a special
steel guard. With the score tied
at a goal apiece late in the game,
Doc Romnes, who earlier got re-
taliation from Horner with his
stick, gave the Hawks the win with
a long hard shot.
In the final game the Blackhawks
who couldn't possibly do it, won
easily, taking the now demoralized
Maple Leafs by score of 4 to l.
So Bill Stewart is happy al
though tired man. And if he misses
a few close decisions in the early
days of the National league season,
maybe it will be because he's think
ing of hockey instead of baseball.
Gene Mako, the Davis cup dou-
bles star, is of two minds concern
ing his future. Gene will re-
enter the University of Southern Cal
ifornia following the 1888 cup cam
paign to study for his degree, which
he expects to receive in February.
He had planned to seek a ca
reer in the diplomatic or foreign
services but he may organize a
dance band instead. He is an
expert drummer.

j. c. Penney Company on
Chapman Street.

Headquarters of the j. C. Penney COM
pany in New York announced today
that property on Chapman street in
this city had been leased for one of its
retail stores. The lessons are Francis L.
and E. F. Johnson of Sis Fifth Street
south, Virginia, Minnesota.
Plans call for the erection of new,
modern, one-Story and basement build
ing on the site adjoining the Ely
Theatre on the west. This site was
selected, several years ago, by theatre
company of the Twin Cities upon which
to build theatre. After excavating
the basement, putting in the concrete
floor and erecting the steel Orders for
the proposed tWo-story theatre building,
the project went by the boards. The
steel work has been RACED and the front
of the site is now occupied by used
car lot by the Ely Motor Sales company
of which John Salminen is the pro-
prietor.
Construction work on the new build
ing is scheduled to start in the near
future. The work will be done by local
contractors, according to a statement
from the New York office. When COM
pleted the building will be occupied by
the Penney company. According to the
advices received, the ground floor, to be
occupied by the firm will be Sc by
125 feet; balcony for office purposes,
80 by 40k feet and basement 80 by
SO feet.
The company operates a nationwide
system of more than 1925 retail depart
ment stores throughout the United
States and is particularly well known
in Minnesota. During the early part
of April, 1916, the company opened five
stores within a brief time at Fergus
Falls, Mankato, Little Falls, Hibbing
and st. Cloud. Today there are 60
stores established throughout the state.
Announcement of the opening date,
the name of the manager and other in
formation regarding the new store here,
will be forthcoming soon, according to
advices from the firms headquarters.

The Snow Jubilee program started
out with an suspicious beginning Fri
day. The committees in charge Of ar
ranging for the Jubilee had things
under perfect control and had prepared
a program of events for the three days
which was destined to please the people
of this city as well as the visitors from
neighboring communities.
1t is estimated that there were 1900
people on the streets, Friday evening,

nature prevailed, Notwithstanding the
density of the crowds at particular
points and not an accident was reported
to mar the occasion.
The broomball boys had played elm
nation contests beginning at 2 o'clock.
These contests were also part of the
program and the attendance was fairly
representative and furnished entertain
ment for all those attending.
At in the evening the sled con-
tests were called on by Messrs. Gianotti
and Cox in charge. who pressed into
service several committee men to act
on the stopping end and list the win
ners. The run was on Sheridan Street
from the Fenske crossing to west of
the Central Garage.
For this occasion the street had been
cleared of all automobiles and even the
cross streets were blocked giving the
sled contestants clear course. The
icy condition Of the street made sliding
easy and excellent time was made by
the youthful runners. Flanked on both
sides by solid phlanax of pleased
spectators, the gay groups of youngsters
crowded the open center space in large
numbers with their sleds.
Four events were on the program and
all were successfully negotiated by the
sliders as were also the two bob sled
events. Winners in the sliding events
