nounces series of evangelistic meet
ings starting Tuesday evening, August

day type, vigorous and forceful in
his condemnation of evil. He has
given much time to study and re-
search, and supports his statements
with government statistics. He has
wealth of personal experience on
which to draw and his message will
be interesting to everyone who can
attend these meetings.
MIR. Malone has many friends in
this community who will be glad to
hear of his coming to Sandstone The
Bible church extends a hearty invi-
tation to all who can, to attend these

ASKOV
Lands I7-Pound Catfish.

Last Thursday, August 1, 1910, to
be exact, Raymond Clegg had the
thrill of a lifetime when he landed
a 17-pound channel catfish in the St.
Croix River, east of Harris. Raymond
says that he used cheese bait and
battled with the powerful fish for
fully 80 minutes before the big fell
low permitted himself to be bodily
lifted into the boat.
Raymond's uncle, Ted Clegg, and
the latter's son, Kenneth, of Des
Moines, Iowa, who were here for a
visit at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Clegg, were along on the trip.
They took the fish along to Des Moines
and it wasn't before getting there
that they weighed it.

fore if you wish to make the trip
you must signify it by signing on one
of the lists which are now available
at Jens' Cafe, Pine Coop Oil station
and at the American office. 1t is
anticipated that transportation can
be furnished for so cents per person,
round trip, but the so cents must be
deposited at the time of signing the
list.
Please remember, the big problem
right now is: How many are going?
So please sign up during the next
five days, so that announcements can
be made in next weeks paper as to
the final details.
