John House, in another week, will
become a Politician, the deal having
been closed while Warner was in Des
Moines, whereby the Grays' outfielder
will be given a chance with the Des

good, of which there is but little doubt
he will be either drafted or purchased
by that club. This will mean $500 or
more for the local association.

FIRE ALARMS
FOR SCHOOLS
ONE OF IMPROVEMENTS CON-
TEMPLATED BY FIRE DEPT.
Department Officials Feel That Large
Buildings Having Many Tenants
Should Also Be Equipped With
Boxes-The Question Is One of
Money.

If sufficient money can be obtained
in the appropriation for the fire de-
partment, various reforms may be in
stituted that will greatly lessen the
danger of casualties.
One of the greatest needs is more
alarm boxes, especially in public
buildings which are visited daily by
hundreds. Chief Canterbury says that
altho this increase would entail heavy
expense, it would make the public
much more secure.
The public school buildings will
probably be the first to be fitted with
alarm boxes. Most Of the buildings
are occupied by 800 to 1900 pupils
reason it is felt that every building
should be provided with an alarm box.
Chief Canterbury says that most of
the other large cities are fitting the
school buildings with signal service,
and Minneapolis citizens should insist
on every precautiOn to insure the
safety of the children.
Another much needed reform, he
says, is that every person in the city
should know the location of the near
est alarm box. Probably not one
half of the people would know where
to go to turn in an alarm, and they
never take the pains to learn until
too late. To remedy this the captains
some means of giving the people this
information.
While the desire for better fire pro-
lection is strong thruout the country,
the heads of the Minneapolis depart
ment believe the reforms should be
made and should be complete and
lasting.

Despite the fact that bankruptcy

ground that he was under indictment

brought to Minneapolis from Jail, to
testify. Constitutional privilege was
claimed. Referee Merriman smiled
and agreed with Brainerd's attorney.
The other attorneys smiled broadly.
All saw the point. Brainerd is a
prisoner and should he refuse to
answer any questions, the referee
would be powerless to punish him, for
Brainerd could be put into Jail any

The grain rate scrimmage is on in

in reductions from interior points is
verified. A further reduction in grain
rates of 2 cents is announced as effec-
tive to-day. This cut is in rates from
the Missouri river to Chicago and the
Mississippi river. 49,
Naturally this makes reductions to
the, twin cities from middle and west
ern Iowa and from all the territory
with which this market deals. The
rates are on the basis of II cents on
wheat eend 9 cents on coarse grains.
The former rate varied, going as high
as 5 cents on both grains, but from
the majority of the points it was IL
cents on coarse grains.
The rates in South Dakota and
southwestern Minnesota have not
been lined up yet, but will be imme-
diately, and will result in a reduction
to Minneapolis from a large tributary
territory, as we'll as to Duluth, which
will come in for it's share of reduc.

serve that city with their own rails.

The wings intercept the air, elm

moisture, into the forward airway
The action of the air produces a par

ANIlSAL0ON LEAGUE MEET
THAT OF MINNESOTA WILL BE

PROMINENT SPEAKERS EX-
PECTED.

The annual convention of the Min

Feb. 1926 in the Central Presbyterian
church, ST. Paul. Prominent workers
are to be present. Advocates of the
league say that there is no other power
before which the saloon men tremble.
Lack of interest and harmony is said
to have retarded the work of other
organizations, but in the new league
prohibitionists, temperance unions and
the score or more of temperance or
CARNATIONS are merging their forces.
Within ten years, since its organiza-

What the league accomplishes is
said to depend upon the state in which
it works, the kind of leadership and
the interest of the churches. To OBJ
tain the support Of the churches the
league had to prove it's ability.
This done, the churches rallied
promptly to it's standard.
The league is said by it's supporters
to endeavor to make it safer for a
legislator to vote right on temperance
legislation than wrong. The league
also helps to solye local problems thru
legal counsel employed to compete
with the excellent advice for which the
! LIQUOR organizations pay.

An Insurance Company for Americans.
The Prudential Insurance Company
of America confines it's operations
within the boundaries of the United
States contrary to the practice of most
big American companies, which have
large business abroad. That it is not
necessary to go abroad in order to be
eminently successful is abundantly
clear from the record of The Pru-
Dental, especially that for the year
1908, the figures for which have just
been published.
The Prudential wrote and placed
during the last year no less than $685.
100000 new life insurance, an amount
which has never been equaled by any
other company when Of the same age,
nor by The Prudential itself in any
former year. 1t has over five millions
Of policies in force and furnishes life
insurance protection for more than
one million families.
The Prudential, it was proper to
state, was the pioneer in the matter
of prompt payment of claims; it was
the forerunner Of better times for the
thrifty industrial classes, and the pro-
digious success which it has now
achieved is a proof that It's popularity
is we'll deserved. Write to the Home
Office of the company, Newark N. j.,

which furnish guaranteed protection

the following observation by the editor Of
the New York Tribune:
Secretary Roots order forbidding the
docking or banging of horses tails will be
welcomed by every true friend of the long
suffering brute creation. 1t is in line with
the humane policy toward dumb animals
which the public is gradually coming to In.
sist on. both moral and as legal duty.
1t lends the weight of the governments
sanction to the crusade for a more enligft-
ened and indulgent treatment of mans
four-footed friends and allies. II will serve
to check an abuse We owe TO the heart
lessness OF fashion and to our mistaken
eagerness to initiate foreign standard OF
equine smartness. Condoned for time, IL
mas fallen under the ban of local law in
many American towns and cities and we
look with hopefulness to the time when
even fashion Will come to discard IL as a
valueless and degrading mutilation.
we do not think that docking has ever
been prevalent custom in the military
service. On the contrary. the United States
cavalry has rather prided itself on treating
that brutal surgery an affectation both
foppish and unsoldlerly. But the War De-
partments order puts the seal of official
condemnation on the practice whenever and
wherever followed in the military establish
ment. We hope that the influence OF the
example thus set will not be lost on owners
or horses who still permit docking as a
concession to false ideas of equine fashion"
