FEW DAY ADVANCE CUBS REVIEW EVENTS OF PAST YEAR See Happening in a Mellow Haze of 3.2 Beer. It was 10:30 December 31, 1933, and Oscar, the reporter, and Willie, printer-to-be, were in the dimly! lighted composing room, waiting for the New Year.

Oscar had provided a supply of 3.2, and Willie contributed crackers his mother was going to hunt next day. The occasion and fore beer made Oscar tolerant of Willie, and willie tolerant of Oscar, so the air was filled with good fellowship. Oscar said it had been a great year, this 1933, one that would never be repeated, or its like seen again, and Willie agreed. Oscar recalled a prediction by a soothsayer that 1933 would be greatest news year since the World war, and the prediction had turned out true, he said. Why, right at the opening of the year, the whole scheme of things political in Kossuth was changed when the democrats took over courthouse steni to stern.

Then the supervisors cut the deputies' salaries, and went into a huddle with the Farm Bureau and the Farmers Union over the annual F. B. Appropriation. Tax Valuations Dropped. The next week tax valuations were dropped, and two sons succeeded their fathers, D.

D. Paxson as secretary of the County Mutual, M. H. Falkenhainer as secretary of the Druggists Mutual. J.

O. Paxson had died that Week. The following week Earl Vincent succeeded P. P. Zerfass as secretary of the county fair.

Arson was suspected in a house fire on Diagonal street, and a uty state fire marshal was called. The final week in January newal of the F. B. scrap, with the F. B.

winning. Lawyers in conclave at the courthouse adopted a resolution against: farm mortgage receiverships and deficiency judgments. The burg filling station was held up by a bandit gang. All this, Oscar informed Willie, made January a real news month. February, too, was not slow.

Creamery Host to 800. The creamery entertained 800 at dinner, and had to serve two tables. dads Algonians received from the city a belated Christmas present in the shape of a drop in electric rates, and became the envy of less fortunate north Iowa towns. In the second week of February rural murmurings against the tele- L. phone company broke into rebellion, with threats at a courthouse meet- es ing that farm phones would be ordered out.

the It was 22 below zero. The saw puzzle craze was at its heighth. The third week SAW a fire in the basement of the Sorensen building, and there was a mysterious explosion which rocked west Algona and led to wild rumors. The Kiwanians beat the Rotarians at basket ball, much to the amazement of both teams. February closed with the Seneca girls winning the county B.

B. tilt and the farmers cutting off 24 of the 35 farm lines out of Algona. Cooking School Ileld. March brought the Advance's annual cooking school, and Willie smacked lips in remembrance of left-overs the year before. Some ent.

800 women attended the cooking school. March also saw two bas-' ketball tournaments, Oscar, growing more mellow, recalled the passing of Hoover, Roosevelt riding into office on the fourth of March, and the closing of banks for a week. The Advance, with Oscar at the press till the wee small hours, got sen out three banking extras, two on March 6, and distributed then in Algona. In the second week of the month C. B.

Murtagh was: named state budget chief, the banks were still closed, and the sectional tourney had ended with Swea City and Plover as victors. Banks Are Reopened. The third week saw the reopen- the ing of the banks but the country slipping off the gold standard, and call for all gold to be turned in the government. Algonians were shaken in an earthquake, "very unusual," at Los Angeles. The Algona Community club had scrip but the reopening of the local bank of forestalled it.

T. H. Chrischilles was named president of the Community club, the Farm Bureau moved to the basement of the courthouse, and A. E. Michel and Mrs.

D. D. Monlux were elected to the school board. Major Local Tragedy. March 23 brought the major tragedy of when Mr.

and Mrs. and Mark Sarchet, their son, a farm hand were burned to death. Glen Russell, former gonian, was frozen to death in the Black Hills, and a blizzard brought intense cold. Gold turned in at the Iowa State bank totaled 000. On March 30 news featured Mayor Specht's defeat of Albert Ogren, a 6-inch snowfall, and announcement that J.

F. Overmyer, after more than a quarter century of service, was retiring as school superintendent. The Deldutch station was opened, the Call brought Mae West to Algona in "She Done Him Wrong" at a midnight "men only" show, and gold turned in totaled $45,000. River on Rampage. The first week in April, Oscar recalled, was one of his busiest.

A flood swept three feet of water into the Wallburg filling station, a straw vote showed Kossuth 5-1 wet, the phone war flared again, hogs had a holiday with reporting the coming of Santa Claus, the first corn loan Hilbert, St. Joe, free kids' movies on Santa Claus day, and the death of Martin Frankl, Irvington, injured when struck in the head by falling limb. Corn Lonns Begin. Three days later 34 corn loans had been made, and County Agent E. R.

Morrison announced his resignation. The following week's Advance announced Lucille Eigenbarth winner of a Mary Christmas contest. Rudolph Simpson, City, was killed in an auto accident on No. 9, Mrs. Bertha Nitz, Lakota, 76, was burned to death, the store was sold to the Leuthold company, and CWA prospects were bringing $4800 weekly into Kossuth.

December 18 saw another Ad-! vance "extra," this time the Platt suburban grocery hold-up. The finding of a Santa day balloon at Marquette Wa8 announced, and corn loans totaled $147,000. Final December issue reported the half million mark of sealed corn, completion of the new water tower, a OWA improvement project for the Blackford park, and closing out announcements by the Cummings 5c to $1 store and the Eugene Neville's Toggery. Great Year to Come. What a year! Oscar sighed and gave Willie a kick to wake him up.

The 3.2 beer was working in good shape, and Oscar launched forth to predict for 1934. He informed Willie that Algona would boom with business brought by the corn loans and prosperity returning to the farm. Prices would not rise rapidly, he guessed, but there would be general upturn in farm products to help offset rising prices of what farmers buy. Democrats would face a tough nationally, with the return of Congress and mathe congressional election, and state and local democratic officials would be hard pressed to hold their jobs. Willie now broke ask the time, and Oscar, on pulling out his pocket alarm clock, found that it had been Happy New Year by 8 full hour.
