cant for naturalization papers has been
turned down. Charles John Erickson

taken before Judge Harrison for the
administration of the oath.

judge asked:
DO you believe in organized gov
ernment?"
mo, Sir" was the mans ready re-
spouse.
whats that?'' exclaimed the judge
you don't believe in organized gov
eminent? Well, we don't want you
as citizen of the United States until
you do. We can't give you your pa
pers on that statement
When questioned further by his
friends Mr.. Erickson showed that he
was we'll versed in the English Ian
guage but in some way had misunder-
stood the courts interrogatory. He
was advised to go home and study the
questions of the oath and when ready
to answer them as citizen should to
come back and make another applica-
ton.

Park Congregational Church, ST. Paul,
Won't Have Them In Basement.
Without a great deal Of discussion the
members Of the Park Congregational
church of st. Paul decided last night not
to allow the Everybody club to place bill
lard tables in the church basement. There
are vacant rooms in the basement and
the Everybody club, composed of the
young people of the church, proposed to
make these into clubrooms, one attraction
of which should be billiard tables. The
members thought the young should be
amused, but they did not think that bill
lard tables were just the right sort of
thing to be placed In a church

Poor roads from the farm TO the mar

II Is Il known fact that taking the aver

It cost 30 cents for transporting wheat

The cost OF transportation has been
reduced very materially I'm every way
except from the farm TO the market
which still remains the same rs thirty
