Senator Shipstead vacationing near Lake Minnewaska

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, August 30, 1923.

The Boys’ and Girls’ Calf and Pig Club show was held at Glenwood. That each boy and girl has taken a keen interest in their particular calf and pig was shown by the fact that the judges had a hard time to decide which one was best. The best calf was raised by Laverne Wittwer, Glenwood, and the second best by Kenneth Walters. Ethel Arnott of Villard got the first prize for raising the best pig. These three will win a free trip to the state fair.

The Lee Sisters had their millinery opening last Saturday. They had some very nice hats on display and will be pleased to have you call and see the same.

The readers of the Tribune will notice that this issue is Volume 4, Number 1. This means that the Pope County Tribune has seen three years of newspaper life and that it is taking the first step for the coming year. Three years of existence in these times, that have been so fatal to many newspapers, shows that there is room for the Pope County Tribune in Pope County and that a so-called farmers papers can be made to go. The main reason why the Tribune has been able to exist, when so many papers have had to suspend publication, is because the people who believed in the cause for which the Tribune was started to give publicity to, have supported their paper in every way possible. Without this help there could have been no Tribune. With these “hard times” still with us it will require the constant aid and support of the many friends of the Tribune to help the Tribune along until the times come back to normalcy.

The local hunters are looking forward to Sept. 16 when the hunting season opens. They are especially anxious because of the fact that this fall chickens can be hunted again after some time when there has been a closed season on chickens. These birds have increased greatly after the closed season.
