Hilmer Goes OverbOard!-
st. James-It was the opening
morning of duck season, and Hill
mer Flogstad, stood up in his boat
to better his view of the surround
ings. Then he sat again not upon
the seat he had just occupied, but
on the lakes surface. While the
waters Of Wood Lake are strong,
they're not strong enough to hold
Hilmer and he went right on thru.
1t wasn't all so bad, however, for
he gained the distinction Of being
the first Observation-Disclosures for
the 1889 season, title held last
year by his brother-in-law John X.

Ring, Lost Is Years
Found 8 Miles Away
Forest Lake = While picking
beans 18 years ago, Mrs. Peter
Sederstrom. dropped her wedding
ring from her finger, and though
she searched for hours, she could
not find it. Mrs. Sederstrom has
been dead many years now, but
last week, her son-in-law Ed Ben
son, to whom the beans had been
taken at the time for threshing,
found her ring on the very spot
where the beans had been threshed
on his farm. 1t was in perfect con-
dition.
Deer and Cattle
In Pasture
Madelia-To walk into your pas
ture in southern Minnesota, and be-
hold big, full-grown deer brows-
ing around with your cattle Is
most unusual sight, but two local
boys did just that. Howard Wilde
and Donald Diehl arose early one
morning recently and went to the
pasture to drive the cows to the
barnyard for the morning milk. AS
they approached the herd they were
surprised to see large deer dash
away from the cattle and dart
westward out of sight. The boys
had no idea where the deer came
from or where he went.

Hides Ducks
Can't Find EN-
Wood Lake John Won de Linde,
genial Echo lumberman, was shoot
ing ducks recently with the Echo
Hunt Club on Sheggeby lake. A
voice, coming from a man standing
on the shore behind a clump Of
weeds, demanded that he come to
shore to have his license and ducks
checked. For sure, thought John,
the game warden is calling, and be-
gan rowing for shore. Not having
checked his morning kill CT ducks
John, to play safe, carefully secret
grass and rushes. When he got to
shore he found that Christ Under
had made a practical joke work.
John counted the ducks in his boat
and found there only six. He rowed
back to recover the ducks he had
hidden but could not find one of
them. It is said he could not appre-
ciate the joke.
Perfect DecOys-
Canby-Two Candy school teach
ers, Mr.. Hegdahl and Mr.. Killen,
have spent quite a few Saturdays
since school opened in making de-
coys out on the water and went up
season. Recently they left the de-
coys out on the water and went NV
near hay stack to watch and see
if they attracted any ducks. Along
came Lloyd Anderson, spotted the
nice flock of ducks" and was all
ready to- blaze away when the
teachers stopped him. They believe
if they can fool the hunters with
their decoys they should surely be
able to fool the ducks.
Evades Runaway Car
Ellendale-It all came about
when Fred Wodrich went to crank
his Ford coupe in the yard at the
Willert farm. The shift lever had
slipped into high gear and as the
motor took ahold away she started,
with Mr.. Wodrich straddling the
bumper. Although Fred could not
get control of the car, he did man.
