FUNDS Are NEEDED.
Money Badly Needed to Improve the
Cemetery and All Interested
Should Readily Respond.
Memorial Day is Near at Hand and
City of the Dead Should Be
Placed in Good Order.

The Oak Knoll Cemetery association
meeting was held at the court house
on Friday afternoon but there we're
very few persons in attendance-six in
all. This is certainly to be deplored
as the meeting was called for most
worthy cause-that of making pro-
visions for keeping the city of the
dead in neat condition during the
summer and having the graves placed
in order for Memorial day. Despite
the small attendance, however, the
annual election of officers was held
and the following chosen to serve for
the ensuing year: A. j. Bulls, presi-
dent; Mrs. Kate Apologize, first vice
president; Mrs. T. 81. Galley, second
vice president; Mrs. BENZ. Soule,
secretary; Mrs. Guy Ewing, treasurer.
So far only So has been received by
the treasurer for the work proposed
to be done this year, and it is highly
necessary that persons who have rela-
tives buried at Oak Knoll should send
to Mrs. Ewing their contributions
without delay. A man will have to
be employed during the spring and
summer months to keep the grounds
in order and the money to defray the
cost should be cheerfully supplied.

Seniors in a Dilemma.

There is much CONSERVATION and
running to and fro among the seniors
at the state university. It has just
been announced to senior classes that
the rule requiring thirty reinforcing
credits" for the major study will be
rigidly enforced. This rule has
almost been lost sight of by the
students, few of whom are now in
shape to comply. Having their major
and minor studies we'll in hand, they
have felt safe. Most of the senior
academies, it is claimed, will have the
hardest kind of work to make up the
necessary number Of credits before
commencement, and some will almost
certainly fail. The rule may cut a
number of seniors out of their
diplomas.

boys and girls to do the chores about
their homes expect the teacher to get
them to concentrate their minds on
their studies? There is too much JOY
riding by the youngsters in the higher
grades. I think it is wrong for
parents to let their children get up
automobile parties the minute school
is out and again in the evening.
There is too much of excitement and
play and not enough work. If these
same boys and girls would have to
get up early in the morning, the boys
help their father milk the COWS and
feed the calves and the girls help their
mothers wash the dishes, these same
boys and girls would not be behind in
their studies. Saltwater Gazette.

In consequence of the inclement

to be all that was claimed for her.
She has a particularly sweet voice of
wide range and her talent is beyond

also from st. Paul, were much appre-
ciated. Mrs. Ewing and Miss Lund-

Lack Of Cooperation.

at the head of the st. Cloud schools,
in making recent monthly report to

speaking of the large percentage of

that there is a lack of cooperation

likely that the voters will simply

The Prison Poet Released.

John Carter, the prison poet, was
released from Saltwater on Mon
day upon order of the board of
pardons. Carter was serving term
of ten years for stealing 1914 and had
completed more than half of that time.
It was not the excessive term to which
he was sentenced, however, which
touched the toughened heart strings of
the pardon board, but Carter's
poetry. When some of his sweetest
poems we're read it is said that the
hardened sinners who compose the
board broke down and wept.

Producer Gets 20 Cents for Potatoes, Rail-
roads Cents for Freight. but
Consumer Pays S1.25.
New York, April 18.-A prominent
railroad official, in commenting on
the numerous charges made that the
railroads are responsible for the high
cost of living, says:
81 will give you true incidence of
recent conditions: A short time ago
President Taft and others we're in

Commerce dinner, and in discussing
the increased cost of living, over
production of gold and various other
reasons were assigned, and they we're
lightly argued pro and con. But
when one of the party arose and made
the following statement there was no
comment forthcoming:
" Within fifty miles of Rochester
today the farmers are receiving 20
cents a bushel for potatoes at the
railroad station. The railroad COM
pany receives cents a bushel for
hauling the potatoes from Rochester
to New York. The potatoes are sold
to the consumer at S1.25 a bushel.
Now, who is to blame for the high
cost of living?'
Incidentally, the price to the farmer
at the railroad station in the same
territory today is Is cents, and they
are selling at S1.3O in New York.

Sailing Station for Zimmerman Proposed

Sailing Station for Zimmerman Proposed.
Next Saturday, April %, meeting
will be held in the M. W. A. hall,
Zimmerman, for the purpose of dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of establish
ing sailing station at that place.
Mr.. Stroeter of the Haarmann Pickle
company will be present and make
proposition as to what that concern is
willing to do. The company pro-
poses to buy cucumbers, onions and
cabbage, and this would mean an ex-
penditure of from 81, 600 to S., 900 an
nually for cucumbers alone. Every
man in and around Zimmerman
should attend the meeting and put
forth an endeavor to get this industry
established. The season is fast adj
vancing and whatsoever is done
toward securing this sailing station
will have to be accomplished without
delay.

Department. Insists Upon Good Roads.

Department Insists Upon Good Roads.
Postmaster Briggs has received a
circular letter from the postofice de-
partment at Washington which en-
bodies the following instructions:
'You are directed to inform your
self with reference to the condition of
roads and bridges on the rural routes
out of your Office and, if you find that
they require improvement you should
present the matter in the strongest
and most positive way to the patrons
and road officials, informing them
that improvements must be made as
soon as possible. If, after reason
able time has elapsed, the improve
ments have not been made or started,
you will report the fact to this Office
in order that action may be taken
looking to the discontinuance of the
service.
"The department is not Immediate
ly concerned in elaborate road i'm
provements, but, in the interest of the
best service to the largest number of
patrons, it must insist upon roads
being kept in good repair, the lack OF
which is usually due to improper
drainage and unsuitable grading and
surface work, which can be easily
and cheaply accomplished by timely
work and the regular use of the sDilt-
log drag or similar device.''
From this it is clearly apparent
that the posto6ice 5- r-..eeent will
tolerate no bad roads on the rural
routes and will discontinue the de-
livery OF mail over such routes as will
not bear inspection. It therefore be-
hooves those interested to see that the
roads comply with the requirements.

Sunday from the result of burns.
A few days previous Mr.. Russell
poured kerosene upon fire in his
office stove. The can slipped from
his hands, fell into the flames and ex-

mass of seething flames. He was
taken to Rochester for treatment but
was too badly burned to recover.
Russell went to HaySeld about five
weeks ago from Howard Lake.

DIR. Cooney Seriously Ill.

The many friends of DR.. Cooney will
regret to learn that he is confined to
his bed suffering from septic poison
ing. There are, however, chances for
his recovery. The DOCTORS condition
resulted from the mere prick of a
needle. On April II he performed an
operation for appendicitis and &C
cidentally ran needle point through
one of his gloves into a finger. He
used disinfectant on the scratch but
later pus formed in the finger. Last
Monday night the doctor was taken
with chills and vomiting and sent for
DR.. Parsons of Elk River. On Tues
day he grew worse and remained in
the same condition throughout that
day and Wednesday. His face became
swollen and he suffered severe pain
in the head. Yesterday afternoon DR..
Walsh, through r. G. Dunn, who was
in st. Paul at the time, was communi-
Gated with, and last night S. S. Pet
terson and Chas. Keith went to Elk
River in an automobile and brought
DR.. Walsh to Princeton. DR.. Walsh
gave DR.. Cooney treatment, and we
are glad to report that this morning
he showed mprovement-hi tempera-
ture was several degrees lower.
Everyone sincerely hopes that the
DOCTORS life may be spared-the com
munity could lily afford to lose this
skilled practitioner.
