SAUK
dribbng in the poultry bucket few years ago. II
is now an industry in the several millions in this
state. Shucks, even can remember the time
when keeping poultry was strictly the woman's
job the farm and the money was 'egg money
for few small items around the house. And
the farmer himself tolerantly surveyed the whole
thing with the calm detachment Of grandma count
ing her chicks.

Up at Detroit Lakes last week 15-year-old lad
lost his life saving the life of his 5yearod brother
They had fallen through the ice. In an almost
identical situation 5-year-od Sauk Centre boy
saved his brother, aged 2h years, from drowning
Two tales, identical weeks, identical situations
The one was different for the brother here

alive; the other dead. Young Donald Hans

Mrs. Nolan Gilbert into that rescue scene too. She
the struggle, ran to the phone and called the

Cliff Domke was in town the other day and we
chatted moment. He's in the Army now tenn
porarily at Fort Smelling where he's in classification
work I've known Cliff for long time. When
I looked at him in that uniform couldn't help
feel the United States going to be all right
If that big hunk of young fellow, clean, intelligent
who filled the uniform of the U. S. Army, was In
dication of the stuff young manhood OF this naton
was made-then need add only the strength OF
God to our cause Cliff had set his heart on
a medical career hope he still get it. It
wasn't long ago that Gene Tunney, of the u s.
Marines was in Minneapolis and Cliff talked with
him. He was set to get into the Marines and
apply as a physical education instructor. But
with Cliffs two years in the Orient, he may be able
to land an intelligence spot. Odd part of the
business is that it's his kid brother, Fay, who is
lieutenant in the u S. Marine Air Corps. SO
Cliff is in the peculiar positon-should the TWO
meet in uniform-of having to salute his younger
brother Doggone, my salutes are to them both
