Are Samson and TarZan
Pilfering These Parts?-
st. James-One day last week all
officers were notified, via short
wave, that a Ford coach had been
stolen at Breckenridge, that doc
tors kit and contents had been
taken from car at Breckenridge,
that considerable cash and stamps
had been taken from a postoffice
at Winona, that a radio was lifted
at hardware store in Green Isle,

Nose For Business
Olivia Making a little extra
spending money during vacation is
perhaps the ambition of most boys,
but this town has a mere young
ster who seems to have a rare nose
for business With several hundred
army men camped in town one day
recently the boy sensed the idea
that men like candy as well as boys.
The new business was capitalized
with 10 cents. Using his bicycle for
quick transportation to and from
a local grocery store, he bought
candy bars at three for 10 cents
and sold them at cents each In
the army camp. Dozens of trips,
dozens of nickels.
Lads Catch
15k Pound Carp
Waseca-Two young lads pulling
a coaster wagon containing 1914
pound carp carefully covered with
an overall jacket aroused the in
terest of the fishing gentry one
morning recently when they told
a tale of catching the behemoth
on a red-head plug while casting
on the northwest shore Of Clear
Lake. Roy Dahnert was handling
the rod and reel when he snagged
into the carp. Unable to handle
the fish alone, he enlisted the ser
vices of his companion, Lyle Pet
erson, to drag the fish onto the
beach. Strangest part of the story
is that the fish did not bite the
gang hooks but snagged as the bait
passed over him.
