Plans for a seasonal skating rink

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, Sept. 28, 1922.

The annual meeting of the Pope County chapter of the Red Cross would be held in the court house hall, Glenwood, on Friday evening, Oct. 13, at 8:00 o’clock. Several important matters would be discussed and reports would be given of what the Red Cross had accomplished in Pope County during the year.

There is style in photographic mountings, and the new Christmas styles are unusually pretty and attractive this year. The Voss Sisters are receiving shipments of new Christmas mounts every few days now, and will be glad to show you them if you wish to call. Did you notice the pretty little easel mount now used in the show case? That just came in yesterday – something entirely new.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, Oct. 12, 1922.

Francis Hovde of Chippewa Falls township, who won seven prizes on Bronze turkeys at the Pope County fair last month, took four birds to the National Poultry Show held in connection with the National Dairy Show at the state fairgrounds this week and there won three first premiums and one second. This was in competition with birds from all over the United States and some from Canada, there being about two thousand birds entered. This speaks well for the quality of Mr. Hovde’s turkeys, and he will undoubtedly reap the benefit from raising a quality product.

R.E. McMillan of Villard was in Glenwood last Monday. He has recently sold out his business interests at Villard, having disposed of his newspaper and printing business to Hiel E. West, and his barber shop to C.A. Soltau. Mr. McMillan has not yet made his plans for the future.

Baseball fans did not have to wait till the “morning after” to receive reports of the World Series baseball games between the two New York teams this year. The reports were received by the various radiophones in town, giving the play by innings, with the hits, runs and errors. This wafting the news on the ether almost instantaneously across the continent is certainly something wonderful.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, Oct. 6, 1922. 

Edw. Olson and Christ Westby were planning on a skating rink on the village park for this winter. The boys said if they could secure the use of the park from the village and some kind of an old sprinkler or tank wagon, it would be possible to have a fine, large skating rink. Children would probably be admitted free a couple of days each week, while an admission fee of 10c would be charged adults to pay for clearing off the snow and other necessary expenses. This fee would probably be made 25c on Sundays. Nothing finer for the kiddies – and grown-ups too, for that matter – could be imagined. A skating rink in this location would be very convenient and safe at all times.

From the Cyrus Citizen Friday, Oct. 5, 1922. 

Last Friday, September 29, the Seniors were hosts to the Juniors and faculty at a very delightful picnic at Lake Charlotte, near the Hans Olson home. At four fifteen the guests assembled at the school grounds where they were met by the hosts with cars in which they were conveyed to the picnic grounds. The time was spent in the customary picnic way. Football scrimmage, baseball, horse shoe and dollar pitching gave chances for demonstrations of the skill of the various members of the party.
