GREENWOOD BEGS PARDON
The Matter Of the Gjertsen Draft
Cleared Up.

The Matter Of the Gjertsen Draft
Cleared Up.
recent letter from M. Greenwood to
o. A. Hahn of this city explains fully the
difficulty over the draft, which placed the
Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen in an embarrass-
ing position. Mr.. Greenwood, who lives
in Munich, Germany, received letter
from the Rev. Mr.. Prydtz of Bergen,
stating that he had been informed that
Mr.. Gjertsen still had the draft in Min
neapolis and that consequently in order
to be on the safe side, payment had been
stopped for the time being. Mr.. Groen-
void was directed to inform the Bergen
committee of the receipt Of the draft for
the very reason that the committee had
made arrangements for preventing it being
cashed until the people in Bergen were
satisfied. Mr.. Greenwood apparently did
not notify Mr.. Prydtz that he had re-
ceived the draft but simply placed in
the hands Of his banker in Munich for
| collection. 1t naturally came back pro-
| tested and it was added that the amount
| had been collected on the .secunda draft
| last October. Mr.. Greenwood then jumped
at the conclusion that Mr.. Gjertsen had
collected on the secunda draft, whereas
! the money was simply "held up" by the
Bergen donors to make sure that4every-
| thing was straight. Mr.. Greenwood re-
grets very much that he should have come
| to such an erroneous conclusion, and asks
| pardon for his mistake.

THE TRoCADERos At THE DEwE,

The Troeadero Burlesquers," an organiza-
ton new to Minneapolis, are at the Dewey
this week. They present program made up
OF the usual two burlesQues and intervening
olio, some features of which are distinctly
good, while others might well be omitted. The
opening buresque is entitled The Ladies'
Turkish Bath 1t is not particularly ANUS
ing and much of its fun is coarse However,
there is little that lis Objectionable in the
concluding offering, while the olio is made up
OF a number OF good acts that serve to COM
pensate for the dreariness of what precedes
it.
The three fIerberts. acrobats. present a
merit orious act. Louise Charland sings a
number NJ coon songs and sings them well.
Carrie Massoney and Martha Hableman have
an attractive singing turn; and Larry Smith
and Mamie ChaDon present amusing skit
entitled After the Opera The Craigs have
a musical act that is fairly good; and Bobby
Matthews and Herbert Ashley, THE College
Boy and the Jew contribute dialogue
which is not particularly new. but which
makes good with the audience.
The final burlesQue "A Night at the Paris
Exposition" serves as a vehicle for the in
reduction of a number of new and attractive
songs. The costumes are good throughout,
and the scenery effective.

Royal Arcantlm Fraters Have
Formed An Amusement Assn,
A BIG R. A. BUILDING POSSIBLE
The Bowling Plan, Now Assured,
Will Bring the Councils
Together.

Legitimate sport in the city will re-
celye strong impetus from action taken
last night by delegates, three from each of
the nine Royal Arcanum councils, at a
meeting held in the Andrus building last
night. The Royal Arcanum Amusement
association will incorporate, a Royal Ar
eanum bowling alley will be built, and it
is likely that eventually a central down
town council hall will be erected.
The members of the organization in the
city nave always taken strong interest in
sports, especially bowling. The member
ship list contains the names of many attn
letes and as result Of the decision made
at the preliminary meeting, handbsn,
wrestling, fencing and dancing will be
looking up.
The first attention of the new organiza-
ton will be paid to the annual picnic
This year it marks the tWenty-ifth ami
Yersary Of Royal Arcanum. 1t will be
held Monday, June rs, where 1t has not
been determined. A committee is looking
up the best place. Among other attrac-
tons head men of the national organiza-
ton from the east will be present. -
Attention will next be turned to bowl
ing. An eighteen-cl league now exists
in Arcanum circles. Difficulty is found
in securing alleys for it's use. The num-
Der was reduced one by fire. Fine alleys
will be built for council members alone
The sum total it costs the council clubs
alone to bowl will build several fine cen
trail alleys In addition, each council
yearly appropriates money for bowling
fund. Still further money for the pur-
pose has been accommodating for years from
the surplus picnic fund. 1t will be seer
| that finances are in the best condition
Members of the different councils are al
ready at work in the Y. M. C. A. gym.

company's outdoor handball court.
The association will give a series O.
dances among other forms of entertain.

A GREEN TRADING STAMP STORE
IN as MANY PLACES

A great many people in Minneapolis are
beginning to be interested in the plan Of
trading offered by this company. The plan
to obtain any of the splendid household
articles shown in their store at GIG Hen
nepin without cost is simply this: The
Green Trading Stamp Co., one of the
largest concerns in the United States, has
made arrangement with several hundred
of the leading stores in this city to give
with cash purchases Green Trading
Stamps, according to the amount of your
purchase. You wonder who pays for
these stamps. Well, it's a modern bust
ness method. It helps the merchant Sc
cure cash for his goods and it influences
business to his store from competitors
who don't use Trading Stamps.
Tomorrow when you buy anything asl,
for Trading Stamps, get a book and begin
to fill it; there isn't an easier scheme to
save money, and when you have your
book filled come to GIG Hennepin avenue
and pick out what you want, your stamps
pay for the article. This company is moi
to be COMPOUNDED with any company pre-
yiously doing business in Minneapolis.

OLEO'S HARD ROAD.
Between State and National Laws
Its Future Here Isn't Bright.
WHAT FOOD COMMISSIONER SAYS
He Welcomes Passage of National
OIeO Bill as an Aid to Min
nesOta Laws.

w. w. p. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, and George Il. Ding
man, his assistant, welcome the passage
of the oleomargarin bill by congress.
They believe that the government tax,
in connection with Minnesota's stringent
state law, will drive not only Oleomar-
garin but renovated butter entirely out
of the state. There are now just two
establishments in the state that have
government licenses to sell oleomargarin
at wholesale and no retail licenses exist
within the state.
The cleo law about to be passed finally
by congress expressly states that it shall
not alter or make void any state law.
Minnesota absolutely prohibits the sale OF
cofored oleo or adulterated butter. The
federal statute will impose tax of ten
cents pound on both articles. which will
be prohibitive in itself. But even after
paying the tax, dealers cannot sell coll
ored oleo in this state, or adulterated but
ter. Agents of the Internal revenue de-
partment will look after the collection
of the tax, and somewhat tighten the bur-
den now resting on the state authorities:
Renovated butter old butter that has
been rechurned to give it a fresh ap-
pearance, may be sold in Minnesota ii
stamped or labeled. The oleo bill requires
license Of $500 from the manufacturer
! of this product, $3.50 for the wholesaler
and $4S for the retailer. 1t also imposes
a tax of quarter of cent a pound. The
same conditions apply to uncolored cleo.

a hotel or restaurant is treated as

prohibits such an act altogether.

MAKING A FINE LAWN
SuDt. Berry. of the Park Board. Tells
About How to Have One.

y
About How to Have One.
Superintendent Berry, of the Minneap-
every park in this city in the dozen or
more years he has been superintendent.
He says he produces turf of fine texture
and great durability by the use of lawn
seeds from the seedhouse OF Northrup,
King &~Cn., the seed being analysed as TO
purity and tested for termination before
it leaves the warehouse.
The proper mixing of grass seeds for
lawns is study. A lawn should be green
all the summer long, SO some Of the
grasses must be early, some late. They
must be balanced SO that one gives way
to the other in the right manner without
permitting one variety to crowd out or
kill out the other, for only given number
of plants can grow on a piece OF ground
at-the same time The STERLING" lawn
seed is the finest mixture that can be pro-
duced, being well balanced as to the early,
| medium and late grasses, and containing
the thriftiest varieties. Special mixtures
are also made for special locations, ac-
cording to conditions in which the grass
is expected to grow.

ton was to commence work at once and
construct line running entirely around
the lake with a central exchange at EX-

isfactorily and without tedious delays.
The business between the south shore and
the city is transacted over one wire with
the result that in the busy season 1t has
been necessary to wait at times several
hours. The new company is therefore a
welcome addition to- the local field .
While the new company has promised
no reduction in toll rates, it is hoped
that competition will reduce the present
rate Of Is cents to 10. cents. MIR. Web
