Lotus Grace Peterson, daughter
of Mrs. o. N. Peterson of Duluth,
Mimi, and a freshman student at
the University of Minnesota where
she is taking photography and writ
ing, was a winner of a teen-age
contest sponsored by "Miss Amer
lea" magazine because her ideas of
:''Tomorrow's World" were so good.
Miss Peterson said she favored
world free trade, understanding
and cooperation between nations,
regardless of race, creed or color,
and world legislation to enact laws
to adjust relationships between
peoples and nations. A member of
the Bahai faith, she will go to
South America next year as a
Bahai pioneer, and to study
photography and writing.

The 1915 Mayor of Bonneville
contest went into the final stretch
this week with Edward E. Harris,
manager of the st. Paul Elks Rest,
retaining a 1000 vote lead over
Jimmie Slemmons of Minneapolis,
in a touch-and-go battle that may
provide some surprising upsets be-
fore the final tally on December 6.
All other candidates were within
a few hundred votes of each other
in a contest that has put most of
the fireworks at the top of the list
between Harris and Slemmons.
Harris, with $4,000 votes, had his
$500 vote lead of last week clipped
down when the Minneapolis returns
came in Tuesday night, and Slem-
mons accounted for a strong 46,200.

six members and now boasts mem

including England, China, France,

Quartermaster May
Brew Beer Overseas

Europe, the traditional home of
good beer, may soon produce new
brand, probably labeled something
like Good Old Quartermaster," or
'Mess Sergeant's Delight" for it
has been found more practicable to
brew beer abroad for our armed
forces than to give shipping space
to the bottled and canend variety
from the States.
The Quartermaster Corps recently
sent an American brewery repre-
sentative into the European theater
to canvass the situation, and his
recommendation is that, because of
the limited supply of malt, hops
and grits available in European
breweries, the ingredients be ship
ped from this country and breWed
in liberated territories.

Before the signal to 'go" was

eggs were hidden in square, and
ground covered was designated.
Then off they went. Such scramble
you have never seen. They didn't
leave one place untouched. Results
were evident, however. Some of the
participants came back with hands
full and others with hats full of
eggs.
After it was agreed that all the
eggs and candy had been found,
the group came back in the build
ing and those who had found
number of eggs shared them with
others. Three of the eggs were
