Pope County Museum Notes

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, April 27, 1922.

Barsness has organized a baseball team for the coming season. Candidates are numerous and with some practice to get into form it is expected that they will have a country team that will challenge all comers in its class. Last season there was a lively interest in baseball among the farm boys and there will undoubtably be country teams that can hold their own with the local amateur teams. Barsness is ready to schedule games with other teams in the locality.

Notice: I have rented the Glenwood Feed mill and will open up for business on Monday morning, May 1st. I will handle flour, brans, shorts, etc. will appreciate your business. ~Eugene E. Hedrick.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, April 27, 1922.

The civic club will soon announce the date for a public library book shower. In nearly every Glenwood home there must be one or more books of general interest which can be made available to many readers by being placed in the public library. These books will be very acceptable, provided, of course, that they are the kind of books that will bass the censorship of the book committee.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, April 28, 1922. 

The generous and public spirited offer of Mr. W. C. Markland to permit the use of the tile factory grounds on the lakeshore for a tourist campground was accepted at a meeting of the Boosters last evening when they held their regular monthly banquet and a very enthusiastic meeting was held. 

Ed Olson was called on for a talk and presented the proposition of securing a tourists camping ground. He outlined the necessity for a camping ground for the tourists and explained what equipment would be necessary. He said that $100 would make a good start in equipping it. According to his statements it would be necessary to provide bricks for temporary stoves, lavatories, and good running water. The grounds should be cleaned up a little and would then be ready for use. The principal thing would be to advertise the camping grounds along the road from Montevideo to Benson, on the road west of Morris, and on the road near Sauk Centre. This would enable the tourists to know of the lake camping grounds and induce them to stop here overnight. The beautiful scenery around the lake, the good fishing and boating and other advantages the tourists would find here would induce many of them to stay here several days.

Some of the high school lads and a number of the young men of the village have been seen on the school diamond practically every evening this past week. They are beginning to show signs of a very good team for the coming season.
