ally falling in the aisles at two
local cinema palaces this week. :.
Lee Turpin, the insurance agent, is
helping make st. Paul insurance
conscious. Jim's Place, always
popular, has reached a new popu-

The crowds are enormous at night.
f. ;. Cab Galloway is going to quit
so much caterwauling and do some

that Cabell had a swell voice which.
many could not appreciate because
his routine was all hi-de-ho stuff.

most sought after these days.
No one seems to know how he clas-.

conservative or with the liberal
bloc. Charley Johnson, the MPLS.

heat from the sepia fans over some

far as to claim Charley is pref

Joe Louis natives overlook Dick
Cullum, the JOURNALS sports
scribe. Just follow him infinitely
whenever he writes about brown
skin sports celebrities! When he is
fair, it's so noticeable you think it's
mistake. Of course we have seen
worse. All in all these two cities
have some fairly decent sports
scribes. George Edmond of the
PIONEER PRESS is among the
best. The favorite among the
folks" however, is George Barton
of the TRIBUNE. The only time
George gets under sepian skins is
when he reports what Negro boxers
say in dialect. Even if Joe does
speak in the fiat Alabama manner
the fans don't like to see it in print.
They just don't like to have their
Negro stars ridiculed or made fun
of. Some sports writer's in the old
days had the nerve to quote the
Dartmouth educated Paul Robson,
using "dis" and "dat" and "yessah."
Even before Paul went English on
us he spoke the ''King's English"
with perfect diction.
st. Pauls Chief of Police Clinton
Hacket is one of the most human

Welcome Hall News
WELCOME HALL 44-MINNEAP-
OILS PROJECT

Al Montague and his feminine
D-Ballers journeyed to Minneapolis
Saturday evening, July 1st, to en-
gage the Minneapolis Project Ten
in Twin City Diamondball game
at the Sumner Field and were sue
cessful in coming out on the long
end of a 44-2 score.
The encounter featured bonn
bardment of homeruns with the st.
Paul girls gathering sixteen for a
new season record. The challeng-
ers look very good with the SER
vice of their new hurler, Stone, on
the mound who allowed only one
hit for the opposition.
Meet the Welcome Hall Champs!
By virtue of win and a forfeit
over the league leaders, Neighbor-
hood House, the Welcome Hall boys
thus annexed another championship
to their collection of trophies in
the Senior Division of the Settle
ment House Diamond Ball League.
The new champions with only one
defeat in league competition thus
make three championships for
Welcome Hall athletic teams in one
year. The team roster is as fol-
lows: Simeoun Scroggins, Little
ton Gardner, Merle Collins, Johnny
Cotton, Donald Vassar, Cortland
Bell, w. D. Massie, Joe Camp, Her
bert Russell, Barney Duncan
Charles Latimer, Robert Anderson,
Neal Tilsner, and Leslie V. War
rem, Director of Boys Work at
Welcome Hall.
New Features at Welcome Hall
Camp!
On August 8 the first group from
Welcome Hall will go to camp at
Snail Lake. The camp will last I'M
til August %, embracing two
groups of girls and two groups of
boys. In keeping with the new and
enlarged program at Welcome Hall
this summer will be instruction in
Life Saving as well as swimming
instructions. This policy will be
followed in the light of the fact
that the mortality rate from
drowning has shown a steady in
crease in the past and much is due
to the lack of knowledge of what
may be done by the less than av-
erage swimmer to aid a drowning
person. Instructions for beginners
and advanced swimmers will be un-
der the direction of Leslie v. War
rem, Director of Boys Work at
Welcome Hall and Graduate Stu
dent at the University of Mime
sofa.
The camp itself which hereto
fore has been known as the Snail
Lake Camp has been renamed
Camp Otyakwa, offers many other
interesting features such as Bad
minton, Bible stories, health talks,
handicraft, hikes, nature studies,
and many others. Mrs. ]. H. Ha-
gan, Gen. Director.
The Welcome Hall Daily Vaca-
ton Bible School ended July Z,
after very successful session. The
School had an enrolment of 100
and an average attendance of 1877.
A very interesting outdoor pro-
gram will be presented July Z at
the Welcome Hall playground. The
public is cordially invited to at
tend.

ing Factor; Hogs Slide;
Lambs Hold Steady.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, July 18, 1889:
Local cattle receipts for two days
this week equalled approximately the
supplies the same time a week ago,
but fewer Canadians arrived and
granted native cattle were also in
smaller supply, according to the Fed
eral-State Market News Service
Buying orders called for lower prices
on most all classes of cattle but scar
city supported slaughter steers and
yearlings and some outside demand
gave the market better action on
Tuesday. Little price change was
accomplished in the heifer trade, and
cows recovered well from early weak
ness. Bulls sold about Csc lower
Vealers ruled fully steady. Stockers
and feeders turned strong after dull
weak Monday market. Most fed year.
lings and steers cashed around SITS
to $500, choice lots up to $685.. Good
to choice fed heifers made 1925 to
$500, medium grade grassy butchers
down to $500, plain grassers below.
Butcher cows bulked at S5.25 to $500,
good COWS selling up to S6.75 mainly.
Gamers and cutters made S3.75 to
$500. Sausage bulls bulked at $3.50
to S6.25, good individuals ranging up
to S6.75. Medium to good stocker
steers sold at S7.25 to S8.25, occa-
sionally $3.50, plain stockers and
feeders at $500 to $500. Good to
choice vealers bulked at $500 to
5000, practical top $3.50, prime Sc
lects up to $1,000 Dairy cows were
little changed but slow. Most springer
cows turned at $4,000 to $500, odd
head strictly good up to $500.
Hog prices continued to slide, a
step up in receipts being i'll timed
from sellers angle with shrinking
demand. The major classes declined
Csc to 40c as compared with the close
of last week, top being pulled to S6.75
while soWs sold downward from S5.15
The average cost on Tuesday promised
to be the lowest since late 1884. Pigs
lost Csc to soc in sympathy with the
hog drop.
An increase was shown in western
lamb receipts, but demand widened
to readily absorb supplies. Compared
with last Friday all classes are gen.
orally steady. Washington spring
lambs averaging IS to Sc pounds sold
Tuesday at S915 to mostly 1925,
sorted generally 10 head out per car,
but some were heavily sorted. Top
of bulk sorted native springers was
S6.75. Three decks good Idaho feed
ing lambs estimated to average IS to
68 pounds brought 1925.

School Meeting Draws But Few.

The annual meeting of School Dis
trict No. II was held in the school,
house Tuesday evening according to
law. 1t is rather surprising that the
recent school election drew a total
vote of over 200, yet Tuesday evening
when the public had an opportunity
to come and hear and discuss how the
board had spent the taxpayers money
during the past school year, there
was total attendance, besides the
board members, of exactly five per-
sons.
Supt. o. G.. Hoiberg had expected
large attendance and had prepared
a fine statement all mimeographed
and ready to hand to those who at
tended incidentally it might be added
that most of the audience" were
close relatives of the board members.
| Needless to say, such an attendance
at an annual school district meeting
was disappointment to both the SUI
perintendent and the board members.
Raymond Christensen of Minneapo-
lis, is here for visit at the home of
his grandmother, Mrs. L. P. Jacobsen.
Alvin Petersen, Alden, nephew of
Mrs. jobs. Knudsen, came with Rev.

mark, Wis, Monday for few days

apolis Friday. Mr.. Petersen went to
buy some new machinery for the

which he hopes to develop extensively
in the near future.

manning for a week while Henry re-
turned to his work the same evening.

pany and their wives enjoyed an
o'clock dinner which was followed
by a number of speeches in which
the various members of the force eX-
pressed their regrets to see Mr.. and
Mrs. Froker leave, but were unani-
nous in wishing them the best of sue
cess in their new undertaking. Mr..

New Minister.

At meeting of the church board
last night letter was received from
Rev. NJ Mikkelsen, Dagmar, Mont,
in which he accepts the call to come
and serve the Askov congregation.
1t is expected that Rev. Mikkelsen and
his family will arrive here the first
part of October which is pleasing
news to the members of the congre-
cation.
Rev. jobs. Knudsen will leave the
first of September, thus there will be
only one month that the congrega-
ton will be without the services of a
local minister. Rev. Mikkelsen has
been in Askov on previous occasions
so is quite well known here; he is
president of this district of the DAN
ish Lutheran Church in America, and
will likely get here just before the
annual district meeting which is gen.
orally held about the middle of Octo-
Der, and which is to be held in Askov
this year.
