Torg-j erson, M. Ulrlch, F. Brandsgard, and R. Pitman, of Dakota City. Although this is the first year 1 that the Humboldt American Le-1 gion Post has sponsored a junior baseball team, the activity has) been carried on by various Legions in the state and nation for several years.

There will be a number of teams in this vicinity and some good games should be scheduled. Sectional tournaments and state tournaments are planned in which the local team will participate. I have an idea that when a manufacturer of hosiery, let us say, goes about his daily work managing his factory, he isn't thinking especially about the people of Humboldt. But when a merchant here in Humboldt buys that hosiery, he IS thinking about the local people, and gauging his purchases by the local demand. I often think about It this way: We, the store customers, are the actual buyers after all.

We dictate what the local merchant should stock. I have heard merchants say that In their they frequently keep a certain customer in mind. As a result of this, you get a personal interest in the local stores that you don't get anywhere else. fr And genuine personal interest has an even greater value, oftimes, than the merchandise Itself. TWENTY YEARSAGO Items of Interest gleamed from the columns of the Kepnbli.
