And The Sergeant
 Rides Once More Into Headlines!

We all must bow to the inevit-
 It was years ago when Sergt. Joseph Francis Xavier Aloysius Bagley of the police department, known to his more intimate friends as Tex" turned in his saddle and said farewell to the faithful horse who served him when he was a mounted police man.
 But through this years, Sergt. Joe (Just call me "Buck") be- moaned the march of progress that had taken from him his faithful steed. Automobiles were anathema to him, and he snorted at gasoline buggies as he remin- isced of the days when he, from his saddle, could look down on the mere policemen who rode bicycles.
 Automobiles He'd have noth- ing of them.
 But, ah, that iron resolve has been shaken and Sergt. Joe (Who's this Tom Mix?) has bought him. self an automobile. In fact, he has a drivers license.
 Some of those who have seen him drive have made most un- kind remarks about Joe still think ing he's wearing spurs, but he pays no attention to such fol- de-rol.
 Joe says he drives a car as well as he ever drove a horse. And farmers within 20 miles of Wa terbury (though of course they haven't that statement in mind) have warned their COWS to stay off the highways.

SOMETHING OUGHT TO
BE DONE

A Wadena merchant remarked to
a group of friends the other day
that if local residents were to pur-
chase all their needs in Wadena,
every Wadena store would be fore
ed to add clerks to take care Of the
business.
This same merchant pointed out
the undisputed fact that thousands
of dollars are spent with peddlers,
mail order houses and in the Twin
Cities for merchandise that could
be bought in Wadena. Home pur-
chases would bring savings to the
shoppers and make it possible for
merchants to continue improving
their stock.
This out-of-town shopping is a
serious problem in all Minnesota
communities. The druggist, the
hardware merchant, the shoe store,
the ready to wear store-yes, even
the suffer when dollars are
directed away from their doors.
One thing that would help the
situation Immediately in Wadena
would be for every business firm to
suggest that employees buy at
home when the local store Is able
to supply the need. This, coupled
with a little educational program
by every merchant to show that the
merchandise value he offers equal
or surpass those by mail order and
distant city competitors, would be
of benefit to the community as a
whole.
There would be little difficulty
with peddlers, too, If the recent in
cident were broadcast concerning
the itinerant "store keeper" who
bought blankets from a Wadena
store at 8 cents each (the regular
retail price, and sold them out at
a Wadena front doors for $3.50
each.-Wadena Pioneer-Journal.

With the closing of the big game
hunting season on the 25th of No
vember, the last of Minnesota's an
nual game season, with the excep-
ton of squirrels and some fur
bearing animals, comes to close,
according to Harry E Speakes, di-
rector of the division of game AMI
fish.
All venison to be kept longer
than five days after the close of
the season must be tagged with the
department of conservation retain
ing tag, issued by the director of
game and fish through the game
wardens. If properly tagged, veni-
son may be kept until he last day
of February, 1882
~ At the same time hunters are
urged to make their game reports
to the conservation department, in
dicating the number of game birds
or animals taken. These reports
are carefully tabulated, and are
used in compiling data to guide the
department in propagation activi-
ties, as well as in game surveys.
