Sauk Centre Brown Swiss cow breaks two world records

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, March 13, 1924.

Gene Callaghan appeared on the street Monday morning all dolled up in new togs and wearing a mysterious happy smile. Can it be that Leap Year, with all its advantages to the fair ones, has made it possible some fortunate one to have woven their charms about Gene’s stout Irish heart? More than one is suspicious.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, March 13, 1924. 

Believe, a Brown Swiss cow owned by F.P. Minette & Son of Sauk Centre, may not like to have her age published (She’s 13 years old if a day), but will not object to the broadcasting of the news that she has just broken two world’s records for a year’s production of milk and butterfat, as shown by records kept in the office of W.E. Peterson of University Farm, who is in charge of official testing in Minnesota. For the year gives 25,847.8 pounds of milk and 1,002.62 pounds butterfat.

Don’t Waste Water. There is beginning to be a scarcity of water in Glenwood and it is absolutely necessary that every resident in the city makes it a point to be as saving with it as possible in order that we may not after a while be out of water entirely. It is not only in Glenwood that there is this scarcity. Wells are going dry all over the state. The matter of water has been worrying the city commission for some time and it has now gone so far that it is necessary to warn every user of water in the city. Use water sparingly.

The Glenwood Music club met last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.C. Torguson. The evening was spent in studying Grieg’s Peer Gynt. The story was read by Mrs. G.C. Wollan in a very able manner. The musical numbers were rendered on two pianos by Mrs. G.C. Torguson and Mrs. “Cassie” Wollan.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, March 14, 1924. 

One of the best wrestling cards yet put on here is the verdict on last Friday night’s bouts. The preliminaries were especially good. The first preliminary was a match between Bennie Aaberg and Lester Friedman. Bennie secured the first fall in two minutes and 40 seconds with a headlock, and the second fall in three minutes and five seconds with a shoulder lock. The next preliminary was between Casper Hovelson, weighing 156 pounds, and Peter Rascom, weighing 151 pounds. Both men appeared to be very good amateur wrestlers, but Casper was much stronger than his proponent. He pinned Rascom to the floor the first time in six minutes with a hammerlock, and the second time in five minutes and 12 seconds with a toe hold. Casper appears to have the makings of a good wrestler with a little training.

The Legion Post and Auxiliary will give a big carnival at the town hall this evening.

A charge of 25¢ for adults and 15¢ for children will be made. The money will be used by the Legion and Auxiliary in carrying on their splendid work.
