Linda still was wondering just
why she had been included in the
invitation when Caroline came
back. Her suit was dark and trim,
her silly hat was a white that
eoualed popcorn balls or Christmas
snow, and her gloves and bag
matched it. But her eyes were too
big, too dark.
Caroline, you nit-wit, you're
losing weight again! After all, my
egg-nogs! What in the world is the
matter" Linda asked, then re-
membered, too late, that Terry's
name has been associated with the
actress, Nina Nevins.
"Only three pounds. And I'm
drinking milk every meal. Any
way, I'm doing juveniles for a
fashion magazine, and they like
me undeveloped." She tossed her
hat on the ling, low reading table.
"And Terry-how's the public
relations lad?"
Squirting a star of the first mag
nitude. Remember Nina Nevins,
the lady with the chloroform can,
or SO we thought? She's put a
rope around him and lassoed him."
Caroline laughed briefly.
cts good business, maybe"
For a moment Caroline's eyes
met Linda's. Caroline didn't speak,
but it seemed to Linda that her
mind was saying, Isn't Ronald
doing just what we're %upbraiding
Terry for doing?"
Then Caroline said, 'I' indefinite
ly out of the picture. I've had one
call and one quick dinner date
since you left. He bolted down his
food to get back to Nina. The &C.
tress is playing up to him. I don't
know if it's love or something to
do with business"
Her words were G h t enough,
but her eyes were tragic. Linda
spoke softly. 3
Terry really loves you. I saw
his face the night your landlady
did a turnout act and he'd have
fought dragons for you. He wanted
you to marry him that night. I
don't know, Caroline. 1 thought
you shouldn't do it while the odds
were againse you, bue I wonder if

Spring Is actually here, folks. Got
my first release on golf tourna-
ments and If that doesn't smack
of summer and mosquitoes as big
as gnats, then I don't know my
Minnesota summers. Title for
that conspicuous first goes to the
Central Minnesota Golf Tourna-
ment, and it's their seventh an
nual effort. It's one of the
prettiest releases we're ever receiv-
ed. mean it's eye-filling with
its red and green letterhead, even
to it's green typewriter copy. :.
Makes you think of the pines all
right. That's what they're after.

"Tin Cam Revival
Slated i'm Golf

Hello, golfers. You're going to
have a busy summer!
Revival of the old Thursday eve
ming "tin can" tournament and
enough other new twists to prove
the tournament committee for the
1910 golf season is scarcely a lap
behind the membership group, gave
promise of an intensely interesting
campaign for this season as an
nounced by tournament chairman,
Pat Dubois.
An intra-club team tournament,
at which they expect 10 teams of
four men and one woman each, Is
the first scheduled event to begin
May 9th, Pat said. Tentatively each
member will plan one opponent OF
one of the other teams during the
first week. The team running up
the most wins is eligible for a free
dinner. The event runs through
nine weeks to July 18th when the
team with the most wins will re-
ceive plaque.
All tournaments will be hand
leap events so that chances are
evened, it was announced. "Au
golfers are asked to keep score
cards SO that handicaps may be
established" Pat said. He fur
Their announced that anyone
who wants to get in on this
team event and has not yet
been approached, give him a
call, or contact one Of other
committee members, Bernard
SchOenhOff, Lawrence DOlson,
or DIR. A. j. Mayer.
"Well probably revive the old
Thursday night tourney" Pat said.
That was the popular bid of two
years ago when the winner each
week had his name left for poster
ity on the specially constructed tin
cup.
Beginning July 18th an inter club
tournament, to name man and a
woman champion, will proceed on
the handicap system. Drawings
will be made for pairings and trop-
hies will go to the winners.
Short stop events have been cal
endared, he announced. Dates have
been selected as May 20, June 16,
and July IA. Other club members
will be invited to these events.

Loop Leaders
Have TussIe

Leaders in both the Main Street
and Central Leagues had tussles on
their hands with second placers
boring in close. In the first the
Postoffice hung to a slim margin,
swapping the tie with Merchants
National Bank, with a two game
win out of a series Of three, to take
united first place.
In the Central League Greenwald
State Bank moved up to tie first
place Silver Fox for the second
consecutive week by taking two
games from Phillips 66. Silver Fox
won two from Cities Service with
2465 pins to 2262.
Merchants National, running
up a total pin count of PATS to
come high in the three game
series with the POstOffice's 244O,
lost two games marginally. It
was Nathe's 5O7 three game
total that spanked the P0stof-
flee. But Franta's 543 was the
best game in the series.
Only movement in the Main Street
group was displacement Of Saegers
for third spot by Standard Oil who
won three straight games from Up
town observation-disclosures Market.
There was no movement Of places
in the Central loop.
Best league individual scores of
the week were: Weaver's 572 and
Brisbane's 554 in the Main Street
loop; and Paul Besser's 534 and
Osakis' Jones' 529 in the Central.

There's a little bit on the bro
chure used by the Game and Fish
Commission this year that I'd like
to give you about minnows. It
says to use your minnows with
care; they're natural food the game
fishes. Where natural food is
depleted, fish are not beyond turn
ing cannibalistic devouring their
own kind. Another way of say
ing poor fish. carry in your
minnow bucket not to exceed 25
minnows or ordinary size. Aerate
the water frequently by dipping
and refilling with fresh water, or
better still by means of a small
pump like bicycle pump. &.
More to this business or carrying
minnows than 7 thot. If it be-
comes necessary to change water,
see that it's the same temperature
as you've been carrying. Calls
for a thermometer and a canned
heat stove.

to young Chips White, who Is.

:. Interest In baseball as
the season spreads into the
SUMMER days has always been
something elusive In this town.

ture In lots Of other places too.
-. Strong possibility is that
entry into a league might prove

If it can possibly be arranged
they will probably apply for entry
into the northern circuit, the OTW
setup. Chips says that at first
glance the local outfit looks like it
might be pretty fair, could keep it's
head above water in the COMPETE
ton. Whether the league Is
willing to accept another member,
or willing to accept Sank Centre, is
an unknown quantity. A year
ago the outfit could have gotten
in but Grey Eagle beat them to the
draw. :. +. Reason for that was
that while the locals were decker
ing with some teams to the west
and south in an attempt to form
a new league, OTW picked itself up
a new member. :. The attempt at
new league forming folded.

There should be in every town a
club devoted to Identification of the
town. The chief function of such a
group is to, keep alive the towns
civic pride and to make it conscious
of the advantages of a beautiful
town. Each spring a landscape
architect can be brought to the town
to talk to its citizens on the i'm
portance of a beautiful town to
those who live and work there. Sug-
gestions may be made regarding the
planting of trees and shrubbery to
screen from public view unsightly
places. Vacant lots may be screen
ed in with shrubs. The city dump
or automobile grave yard at the
city's limits may be screened in
with suitable trees and shrubs. It is
a useful and a helpful activity.

It's a good thing sometimes If
your appreciation of what it means
to live in America lags, to remem-
Der that If, when you are gathered
at home tonight, a knock should
come upon your door you do not
ned to be afraid. You know it Is a
neighbor or a friend and not a secret
spy who has come to arrest you and
take you away, you know not where,
because Of something you have
said on the street corner during the
day. This IS the condition that ex-
lists in every Communist or dictator
government country. One of the
fatlings of the human race is its
inability at approaching the full
meaning of liberty until liberty is
lost.

If Europe becomes engaged in a
general war on the same scale that
the World war was fought it will
bankrupt Europe. This will place
the United States in unique posi-
ton, if it is successful in remain
ing out of the war. From the fact
that it will occupy such a position
its problems will become more COM
plicated and will call for the most
intelligent type of administration.
1t will probably fall to our lot to
bind up the wounds of a battered
Europe and contribute to the re-
Mobilization of sadder if not wiser
people.

It's strange how crazy ideas of yes
terday become the good solid sense
of today. A few years ago candi-
date for governor of Kansas ran on
a platform, one of the planks of
which was a pond on every farm.
The idea was hooted then but since
that time it has become the accept
ed program for the state. Soil and
water are the states chief assets. It
always has the soil, but it must con-
serve the moisture in times of plen-
ty if it is to have it in time of need.

If the American Legion had no
other program than the one of keep
ing alive Americanism in this
country these days it would be the
most worthwhile organization. Too

granted and too many are easily
led astray by wild eyed radicals who
condemn everything, promise every
thing and can guarantee and deliv-
er nothing.

The Hatch bill is directing consid-
cradle. attention to the activity OF
political job holders in campaigns.
The importance of most political job
holders as campaign aids, in our
opinion, is often over emphasized.
Once they land in political job
they lose most of the influence they
might have once had. Their efforts
politically from then on are so OBJ
viously in their own interest that
they very often do not get the fol-
lowing they had once as privates in
the party ranks.
