Frank has been fishing dur- ing the last three days, and has evi- dently given our request deep and profound meditation, as the follow- ing letter, which was received from Frank this morning, shows: “Well, ‘Doc’ we are not so wise about this subject as we might be, our experience with currying things having ended when we at- tempted to lead the glad free life of the honest tiller of the soil over at Ojata, near Grand Forks, discovered that it involved arising at 4 a. m. and toiling merrily until 8 p. m. with intermissions on elec- tion day and Sunday. “But if anybody wants you to curry a chicken you are fully justi- fied in winking the other eye know- ingly and asking them if the nu- meral 23 has ever been called to their attention. “You can curry a horse. You do this by rasping its ribs with a large, serrated implement that looks like the working model of a harrow. It is no fun to currya horse, because its_flowing locks get tangled, and when you becomeo to energetic in putting the marcel waves in its mane it will joyously switch its tail into your eyes and cause you to and say things that should not percolate | from the individual, “Also, if the horse is so inclined, it will suddenly lift one ofits feet and place it forcibly upon your vest pocket and jeopardize your watch crystal. “What useful or ornamental pur- pose will a chicken, curried or un- curried, serve at a dinner? .

They were selected last even- ing, and are as follows: John Goodman, Ray Dennis, Gus Gustafson, Charles Dailey. “While there is general regret that the Bemidji team is unable to par- ticipate in the races, there is con- siderable satisfaction in the know- ledge that-the Bemidji department has won the championship at five different meetings, out of six, and only one year did the boys fluke in coming out in the lead in the championship hose race. The partment now 6wns two champion- ship banners; having won each twice in succession. The tournament will be held at Red Lake Falls next Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday. Lieut.
