Midsummer Roundup—
Toss a bouquet—an acceptable
practice In any social circles —I say,
toss a bouquet at the ladies of the
Niblick Club. They have it com
ing. . . . Last Tuesday in their op
ening card of the ladies golf sea
son, 85 women golfers and bridge
sters speaks for the thoroughness in
which these Nlbllckers go about
their business. ... 46 of the gals
swung onto the course, in the most
sizzling day of the year, shot up a
nine-hole round of golf, and collect
ed their prizes. . . . Now inaugurat
ed will be a weekly ladies day at the
club to fall on Tuesday. A nine
o'clock morning round of golf will
occupy its place on the program. . ..
But this Niblick Club has been
famous these past several years as
an auxiliary organization to the
Country Club. . . . They sponsored
several dances, during the winter
gave bridge luncheons. Altogether
they have substantially aided the
once nearly empty coffers of the
Club. . . . Now they have graduated
from the rank of auxiliary and are
taking a place for themselves in the
city’s golfing world. .. . When these
girls go out, they come back with—
the ladies!

I” Triumvirate Dave Caughren,
Andy Mayer, and Benny Schoen
hoff chalked up a three-way
golfing phenomenon \vhen they
handed number 8 hole and
triple birdie the other sundown.
.. . Literally speaking they kill
ed three birds with one stone—
or rather one hole. . . The three
hit the tee that looks out over
number eight, swung into their
drives, and then holed out in
two. . . . This Mayer lad is the
same who a year ago Joined the
Ace Club when he holed in one
a shot on the Annan dale course.
.... All three put their nickels
hack into their pockets. . . •

Recently a Glenwood man scoop
ed from Sauk Lake 7000 pounds of
turtle meat on the hoof, and the
whole thing had natives a bit up
in the air at first. . . . They charged
that nets, he had placed, were illeg
al. .. . Game warden investigation
showed they were properly attired
nets with a four inch mesh to al
low game fish to escape. ... He
pointed out further that it's a boon
to Sauk Lake to be rid of the tur
tles. They’re fish eaters, we’re
told. . . . Your correspondent is con
servation-minded enough to apprec
iate such measures, but there is a
more personal angle to the thing.
. . . Now when we go swimming we
know that there are 700 less turtles,
figuring at ten pounds apiece, to nip
at threshing toes in the water. . . .
Kind of a happy thought. . . .

First of the blue berry seek
ers from this hamlet were the
John Hansen’s and the Otto
Folkestads when they hit for
the north woods a week or so
ago. . . . And the report is that
the berries are a mite early
this year, but later plckin’s are
expected to Improve. , . »

Into well-brushed areas around
these parts last week went 90 young
ringneck pheasants to replenish a
strain that has been entirely plant
ed in this section. . . . The little
fellows were placed by Alex Ben
son and Game Warden Leo Peyton,
who selected spots carefully with a
practiced eye as to shelter and feed
ing qualities. . . . The shipment had
been received by Bob Malloy, who
had petitioned for the batch of
birds. ... It was the winter of ’37
that raised havoc with our local
pheasant crop. Sportsters, farmers
alike were busily trying to provide
adequate feed for the starving birds
as snow lay feet deep on the feed
ing grounds. . . . According to those
closely connected with the lore of
bird life, if pheasants have enough
to eat, they’ll get by. But once their
strength begins to wane, they can
not resist the cold or make their
way about. . . . Well, it’s much like
us humans. Take away our grub
sack for a half day and we’re
threatening to move our laundry to
some other houee, it*

while ago he was one of the
underlings, taking his first cuts

his own age bracket, but
couldn't step into the class of
older, more experienced players.

Now he rates with the best the

town has to offer no matter
what age. Russ works hard at
any game to learn it, and now
his tennis comes to him effort

consistent, and it's on this score
he usually takes his more er

Baseball in this man’s town needs
a hypo. This year two teams start
ed out and the senior Legion team
is still going though its competition
is not what the boys would like. . ..
Games are hard to get when your
team is a non-league member, and
the gang has had to resort to such
pickup teams as they can get. . . .
Baseball’s always had a tough row
to hoe in this man’s town. It has
plenty of competition from the golf
course, tennis, a lake In our back
yard and all the rest. Under the
Legion it’s taken a new lease on life
with the younger fellows, but even
then It’s a tough grind. . . . Now
'with the midway tournaments on
for the Junior Legion rank, the boys
are not in the running. Some of
them have piled off to camp, others
have forsaken the call of the dia
mond. ... To all Intents and pur
poses the Junior boys have folded
their tents. But the seniors carry
on. . . . Manager Vern Soltau is
hoping next year things will break
so a formation of some kind of
league can be made. . . . Competi
tion will be greatly strengthened in
that event. . . .

Prexy Blycker’s—and he’s a papa
now too for which this corner ex

ed a sneaker last Thursday evening
when they dusted off their first
tournament of the year without any
rain. . . . That evening the weekly
tourneys got underway with a blind
bogey handicap that found George
Rasmussen low man for the initial
winner. . . . And from that the reg
ime has taken heart. Heart enough
to plant on themselves a short stop
tournament for next Sunday with
invitations extended to all the sur
rounding course members. . . . And
they hope It won’t rain. . . . These
Thursday evening rounds simulate
the weeklv matches held last year
that proved to be a duel over the
much-vaunted tin cup that passed
through so many hands. . . . And
it looks like the boys are on their
way. . . .

Sunday morning In the Park
A whlsp of a breeze ruffled
the leaves overhead. . . . And
the kerplunk of splashing bod
ies kept up a rhythmic tattoo
am the gang left the diving
board. . . . Meanwhile I lowered
my head on a grassy platt just
to relax. . . . On the bridge
were three young anglers. . . .
They were the epitome of the
poet’s or the artist’s dream of
youthful fishermen. ... Straw
hats, cane poles, the bobbing
cork, all was correct except for
one thing. . . . They weren’t
barefoot. . . . Funniest detail of
the whole affair was when the
smallest lad dropped his straw
hat In the drink. . . . The three
were busily engaged trying to
hook the sailing skimmer. . . .
Over on the beach Dick Bassett
and heir to his estate, young
Jimmy, were threshing around
the water. . . .

Excerpts From The Herald of
Thursday, July 18, 1918—Items
of Interest of 20 Years Ago
Bobbie Smith, 13-year-old son of

he landed a Great Northern pike
in Little Birch Lake which tipped
the scales at 20 pounds,
Dr. A. F. Moynihan left Sunday
morning for Camp Custer, Mich.,
where he was at once placed on
duty in the base hospital. Saturday
noon a detachment of the Sauk
Centre Home Guard, of which the
doctor was a member, ranking as
captain, called at his residence and
presented him with a valuable wrist
watch.
Donald Working had the misfor
tune last Friday to collide with an
automobile while riding his bicycle.
In some manner his leg caught in
the springs of the car and he was
dragged some distance before it was
stopped. His nose was broken and
he was bruised In several places.
Madonna, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Brown, who has been very ill with
inflammatory rheumatism, is im
proving.

Book Reviews
By Bernice Finnegan
LISA VALE
Olive Higgins Prouty
This new novel by the author of
“Stella Dallas” tells the story of a
married woman in her early forties,
presented through the problems of
her four grown children and her
own secret but beautiful relation
ship with Barry Firth. The era is
the hectic period following the
crash of 1929; the scene is the Bos
ton of George Apley and the Last
Puritan.
Twenty years have passed since
Lisa, daughter of an impecunious
professor, married Rupert Vale. He
is many years her senior; to his
wealthy and established family she
is an outsider. In the lives of her
children and in her reciprocated
love for Barry Firth, her problem
takes poignant shape.
This is the richest, strongest nov
el Mrs. Prouty has yet written. Lisa
Vale is not presented as a heroine;
she and her temptations, makes her
mistakes, suffers compunction,
doubt, fear. She is the mirror in
which the typical woman of today
will observe her own problems and
feelings.
A PRAYER FOR TOMORROW
J. Hyatt Downing
This vivid and colorful novel tells
the story of Rudge, a little town
nestling on the South Dakota prai
ries, and of the boyhood of Lynn
McVeigh. When Lynn arrives in
Rudge, it is still a sleep “wide place
in the road,” surrounded by thous
ands of acres of buffalo grass, the
finest cattle range in the world. But
in less than a year the country be

gins to change. Farmers pour into
the district from the east by the
thousands, filing on the land and
plowing up their quarter sections.
The resulting land boom which
centers in the town, the paper for
tunes of farmer, real estate man,
and banker, form a sort of muted
accompaniment to Lynn’s boyhood.
And, too, they supply the essential
motivation for the story and for the
interplay of character in the town
itself. However, a Prayer for To
morrow is not a novel of the soil.
It ofTers rather a sharply lined pic
ture of a small town and its people
seen through the eyes of an impres
sionable boy, with an album of un
forgettable characters so truly
American that nearly every reader
will meet again well-remembered
friends from childhood. One char
acter in particular, Cynthia Carr,
charming and young, who "gets her
self talked about” by the town’s
busybodies has something of Wllla
Cather’s lost lady in her conception,
but even she Is plunged back into
reality when the town wakes from
its dream of wealth. Plowing the
prairie has brought about the down
fall of Budge.
A Prayer for Tomorrow is in a
sense the story of every American
boyhood—a story of friendship and
love as well as of the pioneer spirit
which is so alive today. And a
Prayer for Tomorrow carries over
into our own time. There are even
automobiles in this prairie town
while Lynn Is still a young man.

FISHING LICENSE CHECK—
Minnesota game wardens, In
their regular line cf duty, are mak
ing a thorough checkup of fishing
licenses, according to Director Har
ry E. Speakes, of the division of
game and fish.
As a result of this checkup,
numerous fishermen have been
hailed Into court for failure to have
a license. This proves an expensive
procedure, and some of those
brought to court pay enough in
fines and costs to furnish them
with the 50c annual license for the
rest of their lives.
Minnesota law provides that
everyone over 18 years old— men
and women— must have a license
to fish, and must have the license
with them. The law further pro
vldes that everyone must purchase
the license in the county of his
residence.
