Sduk Centre Girl and Alexandria
Man Married
AT THE BRIDES HOME
Miss Lillian Louise MCGibbOn and
Mr.. Toilet Jacobson Are Joined
For Life

There was a quiet wedding at $3.50
Tuesday morning at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs John Nichol McGibbon
on Notrh Main street, when their
eldest daughter, Miss Lillian Louise
McGibbon, was united in matrimony
to Mr.. Toilet Jacobson of Alexandria.
1t was simply an informal, family
affair, none being present but the
members of the brides family and the
groom's brother and his wife, The
officiating clergyman was the rector
of the Good Samaritan Episcopal
church, Rev. S. L. Mitchell, who used
the ritualistic ceremony with the
ring.
The bride wore her travelling dress
and was unattended. Immediately
after the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. ia
cobson started in their automobile
for Melrose, accompanied by the
groom's brother Mr.. Andrew Jacobson
and wife. There the newly married
couple took the Great Northern Flyer
for st. Paul, leaving that city in the
evening over the Northern Pacific
for a trip to the Yellowstone Nation
al Park. They will return about the
first of August and will be at home
to their friends in Alexandria after
the first of October
The bride is we'll known in Sauk
Centre where she has spent most of
her life, having been born here. She
is a graduate of the Sank Centre
High school and the st. Cloud Normal
school. For the past four years she
has taught with marked success in
the public schools of Alexandria. She
has a host of friends here and in
Alexandria where she has been a lead
er in society.
The groom is successful business
man of Alexandria where he is the
president of the Farmers National
Bank. He is also a member of the
Board of Education of Alexandria. Mr..
Jacobson is an automobile enthusiast
and has been in Sauk Centre fire.
quently and has many friends and ac-
quaintances here.
The wedding was a very quiet af-
fair and none but the members of the
family knew anything of it until the
bride and groom were well on their
| way to st. Paul. The out of town
guests were the grOOms brother and
wife,, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Jacobson
Of Alexandria,; and the brides broth
er and sister, Mr. John McGibbOn OF
| st. Cloud and Miss Hazel McGibbOn
who is now attending the summer
school at the state university in Min
neapOlis and who came up to be pres
ent at the wedding. Both returned
on the same train that bore Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacobson to st. Paul.

COUNTY POLITICS
Plenty of Fellows are Going After
the Offices
SEVERAL HAVE FILED
iCatiOnS That There Will be a
Lively Time at the Primary Elect
ion in September

The indications are excellent fo
a lively tussle in county politics i
Stearns county this year.
Several aspirants have already fill
ed with the county auditor, and if
gossip is worth anything there will
be a good many more before the time
expires.
The primary election falls On Tues
day, September 18th. The last da
for filing is August 26.
The only hold-over officer at tn
court house this year is the clerk of
the district court, whose term of Of
flee is four years. All the others
will have to hustle to hold down their
jobs another term.
A number of aspirants for offic
have already begun the canvass for
votes, who have not yet filed, but
the latter matter will undoubtedly be
attended to in the near future. Those
who have already filed are as follows:
For Representative-second dis
trict of 54th district, Joseph Fried
man democrat; 1st district of 54th dis
trict, F. E. Minette, democrat. The
Hon. John R Howard filled the po-
sition from the first district-the Sauk
Centre district-in the last legislature,
but his appointment to the position
of Indian agent at White Earth re-
moved him from the contest. There
is gossip concerning not less than
four other gentlemen from this dis
trict entering the race for represent
ative, two of them being republicans
one a democrat and one a prohibition
list. None have yet filed, however.
For office of auditor, the present
incumbent, John c. Crever, has al
ready filed. John P. Rau Is also out
for the office and will file later.
Both are democrats.
B. ]. Moritz, democrat, has filed
for a denomination as sheriff. There
is said to be another citizen ready
to get into the game against him.
Peter Robischon, of Sauk Centre.
has filed as a candidate for register
of deeds to succeed the present in
cumbent, John M. Emmel, who is out
of it. 1t is reported that two others
may get into the game.
There will be contests in two of the
commissioner districts. Already Val
entine Herman, democrat, has filed
for the office in the second district;
and John Thelen, also democrat, in
the third district.
Up to date there is little indica-
ton that there will be anything do
ing among the republicans, as Stearns
county is overwhelmingly democrat,

only places in which they have any
chance to make a showing. The Sauk
Centre district had republican in
the last legislature. Just how the
contest will work out this year nc
one has yet been found who can
predict the outcome, any farther than
that there will probably be lively
scramble.

FOR LOCAL, OPTION

The position of CARDINAL Gibbons
upon the question of local option has
been the subject of much controversy.
The latest publication on this point is
letter signed by the Cardinal, which
gives his position as follows:
II believe that the right of the peo-
pie to determine by the operation of
local option law whether saloons shall
or shall not be closed within their re-
spective communities is in harmony
with the American principle of self
government.
eff the people of a ward of the city
especially in residential section, or
OF rural county, desire to vote out
saloons they should have the oppOr-
tunity of so doing, and | heartily APP
prove the present movement in Mary
land to secure a local option law
which will give that right.
"Where the people do not attempt
to close their saloons or decide by
vote to retain them, | am, as previous
ly stated, in favor of high license and
rigid restrictions, but not as substi-
tute for nor in opposition to local
option as above defined. "

To Aid Debating Societies.

"Debating Societies, Their Organi-
cation and Procedure, - is the title of
a bulletin prepared by Prof. Rollo l..
Lyman of the department of public
speaking at the state university and
just issued by the extension division
for general distribution to literary
and debating societies. The purpose
of the pamphlet is to meet the needs of
the large number of societies which
are in the process of formation at the
present time. 1t undertakes to fur
nish the general suggestions under
which a society may formally be or.
ganized and started to work. 1t is in
tended primarily for the use of high
school societies.; but, by very few
use of other organizations. The con-
tents of the pamphlet are divided into
three sections. The first contains
suggestions for the first few meetings.
The second consists of constitution
and bylaws for literary and debating
societies. The third is in an outline
of the most essential rules of order to
be observed in the proceedings of any
parliamentary organization.
The question of the establishment
of the parcels post system in this
country is the subject of another bull
letin issued by the extension division
in the interests of debating and public
discussion. The plan proposed by
Postmaster General Meyer is present
ed fully, together with photography
of pamphlets and articles for and
against the proposed system. 1t is
the purpose of these bulletins to en-
courage the discussion of live public
questions by various clubs and organ
izations, to assist them by furnishing
informotiOu and material.

Electric Flashes.

A Chicago inventor has patented an
electrical device for rocking cradle
From statistics recently prepared it
appears that the great city of London
uses annually 213 ,l74, 279 kilowatts of
electricity at an average cost of about
10 cents kilowatt.
Heavy electric traction of the future,
such as involves the equipment of
large trunk line railroads, will use
the new alternating current electric
motors. The motors are capable of
complete and efficient control and are
able in descending grades to return to
the trolley line the energy stored in
the train instead of wasting it in heat
and wearing out the brake shoes. In
other words the motors will be turned
into generators when going down hill
and the current made in this way will
be returned to the line.
Portland, Maine, is to be supplied
with electricity obtained from the
tides, Land has been secured on eth
er side of Black Bay and it is estimat-
ed that Is, 900 electrical horsepower
will be generated, enough to light the
entire city, furnish power for the
street railways and supply a number
of manufacturing plants.

Patti and the Mice,

In some "reminiscences of the famous
queen of song G. P. Levilly, who
was associated with Nine. Patti for
many years, told an Interesting story
of her adventure in Philadelphia ho-
tel with g number of mice. PATHS
maid was just arranging the bed for
her when out from the sheets jumped
half a dozen mice. The diva was not
frightened. Indeed, she was rather
amused and threw some sweets on the
floor so that her visitors might have
supper. Then she went to bed and to
sleep. In the early morning she was
awakened by pain in her left ear, and,
putting up her hand, she disturbed a
mouse which had started biting her.
For the next few days PATHS nishap,
which happily had no serious results,
was the talk of America, and she was
bombarded by presents of all kinds Of
mouse traps and vermin killers.-Lon-

Glover Makes Fertile Soil

Although alfalfa stands preeminent-
ly at the head of all forage crops for
its feeding value, its culture is not so
necessary in Northern Wisconsin. as
clover grows we'll and yields good
crops. The Importance of clover is
due not only to its high feeding value
for all classes of stock, but to its val
lie for increasing and maintaining
soil fertility. Glover supplies nitro
gen and humus to the soil, two neces-
sary fertilizing constituents which are
largely lacking in woodland soils
Every farmer should plan to grow a
crop of clover at least once in four
years on each division of his farm.

WISCONSIN MISREPRESENTED
IN CONGRESS.

The Milwaukee Journal of April Z,
contains a vigorous editorial criticism
of the Republican members of congress
from Wisconsin for their refusal to
stand by the president in his recomen-
datiOn for the removal Of the tariff
upon print paper and wood pulp. The
Journal truly says that not one Of
them stood by the public interest in
this matter, and adds:
Congressman Murphy, Democrat,
cast the only vote from Wisconsin for
the proposed modification Congress-
man Weisse was absent Thr Repub-
licans all proved false 10 their prom
ises and should receive the condemna-
ton Of the people Of this state. Even
Congressman Cooper and Congress-
man Nelson, who some weeks ago
made vigorous protests against the
despOtic rules Of the house, surrender
ed their independence and voted to
support the Republican clique that
controls the business of the house.
eff the Republican representatives
from Wisconsin are wise they will
ce sc in short order to play fast and
loose with the voters Of this state in
the matter OF tariff revision. The
people of Wisconsin are for revision
and they mean business And it is
time for the congressman to mean
business, too. The people are tired
Of this everlasting delay and evasion
and straddling and they will make
short shrift of some Of these cOmpla-
cent gentlemen, when the opportunity
comes, if the latter do not stand out
squarely for what the people want.
wisconsin protests against misre-
presentation by her congressman.
This state is not stand pat state in
any respect. If our congressman are
to continue to break their promises
and TO defy the public sentiment of the
state they should be thrown out of Of
ice in the coming election and mcn
should be sent to Washington who un-
derstand their duty and who have the
character and the independence to do
it. The time for leniency and dilly-
dallytng is past. If the Republican
representatives from Wisconsin
choose to support Boss Cannon, 10
opposition to the demands and the in
terests of the state they represent,
they must sake the consequences. And
the consequences should be permanent

The Feminine Seasons,

During a local campaign" said q
New York official, 81 attended politi-
cal meeting where one of the speakers,
q witty Irishman, made continual ref
erence to the changing seasons, which,
/ found, he always honored by treating
them as if they were of the feminine
gender. When you come to cast your
votes in the autumn he yelled, the
autumn who bears the fruits of the
earth in her outstretched hands, you
will have to think web Of your duties
as citizens of this glorious country"
"'Why is it, asked afterWard, that
you spoke of the seasons as If they
were feminine?
"The Irishman was for a moment al
loss for a reason.
"'Sure,' he said at last, 4 think of
the seasons as women because they
change and because, no matter which
wan We have, We wish it was another !"

Corn Important.

1.-THE importance of the corn crop in
Wisconsin today" says Prof Moore,
SIS much greater than ever before
Not only is the average planted to
corn gree ter than it was ten years
ago, but the yield of corn per acre is
on an average from five to ten bushels
higher. This increase in yield has
been brought about in two ways: by
the use of improved varieties of kiln
dried seed corn, and by better culture.
In the northern part Of the state the
average devoted to corn is yet small
but by improved methods of culture
and the use of varieties we'll adapted
and acclimated to the region, it is be-
lieved that corn will become one of
the important crops. AS dairying is
recognized as one OF the branches of
farming to which the northern half of
the state as we'll adapted, the raising
of corn for fodder and silage is very
essential.

Small Electric Motors In The
Home,

Homework has always been more
or less of drudgery. The washing,
the ironing, the cleaning, the sewing,
the cooking and baking-all require
hard work with the hands and until
few months ago there was very little,
if any, machinery to help the patient
housewife toward an easier victory
over dirt. sewing or preparing the
foodstuffs. One of the reasons why 1t
was hard to build machinery to do the
work about the house was because the
actual power required was so insight
cant. The machines could be easily
made but they in turn had to be run
by hand because only steam and water
power were available. The steam
engines, no matter how small, were
