More Hunters Than
Ever This Year-Over
5000 In Stearns
BAG WILD GOOSE
Several Local MINI
rods Reported Limits of
Birds AS Opener

With the opening of the pheasant
season Saturday, which continues
until the evening of November 3rd,
hunters increased and the small
game licenses sold in the county
preceded all previous records. Will,
800 licenses issued since the wat
erfowl season opened, the supply
Of licenses in Stearns County were
exhausted.
A last minute rush took out 400
licenses on Friday alone, and an
immediate call for 500 licenses was
sent to st. Paul. However, only
100 were available.
5788 licenses; 1888, $500 hunters
applied and in 1887 only 1886 lie
enses were issued.
Pheasants during this season may
be hunted from sunrise to sunset
while waterfowl may be hunted
from sunrise to 4 p. m.
Although some hunters did not
fare well on the opening, many in
this community came in with their
limits; and although the rain ham
pered shooting Sunday afternoon
several good bags were reported for
that day also.
Archie Lane and Bud Rose were
the lucky hunters of the commun-
ity so far this year, as they bagged
one Of the coveted Canadian honk-
ers. They got the goose Tuesday
afternoon. They stated they got
the leader Of a flock but were un-
able to connect with any Of the
others.

Plan For Safe
And Sane
Halloween
Third Installment of
Entertainment For
900 Children
SWELL PARTY
Will Be Held
Thursday Night,
October 31st

Sank Centres insurance plan
for a safe and sane" Halloween
was assured for its third consecu-
tive year.
With plans to entertain some 900
Of the city's youth, special groups
Of the Sank Centre Welfare Coun-
Gil and the Robert Swift Post
American Legion and its Auxiliary,
in complete collaboration with 9TH
err city agencies, launched prelimi-
nary plans for the third annual
Halloween party.
The party is to be held the
night of Thursday, October 31st.
This week as joint commit
tees of the Welfare Council and
the Legion met to further dis
cuss the program, leaders call
ed on volunteer help In direct
ing the play that evening.
Those who would like to volun-
teer may apply to any commit
tee member, Mrs. G.. #. Wager,
president of the Council, an
nounced.
Dewey O'Gara, chairman Of the
Legion committee, announced that
organizations like the Sank Gen.
ire Fire Department, the City
Council, Rotary Club have already
donated to make the party a sue
cess. Community Club and the
Water, Light and Power Commits
sion will probably get on the band
wagon once they are contacted.
For Sank Centre the Halloween
party marks a new era on the night
when, while witches and hobgoblins
hobnobbed on earth, youths took to
depredations. Success Of the pro-
gram is evidenced in the fact that
another party is being taken as a
matter of course by these civic
agencies. For the city the part
marks complete cooperation be-
tween the oldsters, who put the
party on, and the youngsters, who
forego the damaging depredations
Of former years. Everybody has
fun.
This week committee appoint
ments of the Welfare Council and
the Legion were announced and
volunteer help may be made to any
Of the members of the Council
committee. Heading the Legion
committee is Dewey OGara, chair
man, with DR.. r. E. Cooper, L. T..

Tough at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Winters, Of
Sank Centre.
Huge volumes of voluntary
enlistments, reported from
nearly all recruiting stations,
are expected to cut the num-
bers of conscripts, he said. He
ventured the opinion that it
might be year before many
were drafted.
"The Army isn't lowering it's

said, yet enlistments are far out

forming processes of the Army.
Barracks are being built at camps
now on all available spots.

At Langley, he pointed out, new

as he related the tale. He was
working for Bill Unger in Melrose

Frank Albers. Albers had been in
the Navy, around the Horn, was a
first class yarn spinner. He spun
yarns so well that the adventure

II drifted out" he said. He went
to Duluth where he enlisted. Then
came years in California, Panama,

OF all the places he served he
prefers Fort Smelling in spite Of
the long Minnesota winters. Pana-

it turned all at once"
He got into the motor transpor-
tation field of the Army during the
Mexican border trouble Of 1914.
II could drive a car when I en-
listed" he said. The rarity of that
accomplishment at that date is
brought out in the fact that he
was a lone enlisted man among for
y-two civilians driving truck for

count of the prizes and classified

some Of them have had bad luck in
raising their chicks and some have

The quality Of birds this year
should be on par with that of
other years, and the quality has
been high each year, as was proven
through prizes awarded to birds
that won at these shows in the past.
This year the grand champion of
last years show will be shown as
a feature. This bird, purchased by
Schrantz brothers at last years
auction, was first prize winner
