DRAINAGE BONDS
ARE HIGH CLASS INVESTMENT

VIM. J. Brown has returned from
New York where he was called to dis
cuss with the legal firm Of Dillon,
Thomson & Clay, the question Of the
legality Of Minnesota drainage bonds
and to discuss the question as to
whether the bonds are general county
obligations or are strictly assessment
bonds. He was successful in his mis-
sion Of having this great bond firm
favorably pass upon Marshall County
bonds and they furnished their un-
qualified opinion that the bonds are
general county obligations.
This will involve a saving in the
future of at least one-half per cent
interest that will have to be paid on
drainage bonds by the owners Of the
lands assessed. To settle finally for
all time the status of such bonds, It
has been determined by the state le-
gal department to have the question
passed upon by the Supreme court
and Mr.. Brown is low preparing the
papers for such test case. The state
is directly interested for the reason
that over four million dollars of the
state school fund is invested in such
drainage bonds.

And the whipple tree neither less no
more,
And the back crossbar as strong as
the fore,
And spring, and axle, and hub en-
core''
The engine is really the most i'm
portant part of an automobile. It is
the heart Of the car, and when it
ceases to beat there is no life or mo-
ton in the car. On this long trip of
500 miles the engine in Mr.. Bystrom's 8
Buick touring car was given a most
severe test, but never once did it fal-
ter or fail to propel the car up the
steepest hills and thru continuous
mud clear up to the hubs It always
responded promptly to the turning
of the crank, and not minutes de-
lay can be charged up against it. AS
long as it was given it's regular sup
ply Of gasoline, it willingly did it's
strenuous work, and when we got
back to Warren it would have been
ready to- turn about at once and make
a similar trip.
The rest OF the way home was
made without incident. At Fertile we
had brief but pleasant visit with
Mr.. and Ed Mossefin. Mrs. Mosse-
fin was formerly Miss Lena Taral-
seth, of Warren. We inspected their
fine home and also the fine bank in
which Mr.. Mosseftn holds the posi-
ton Of cashier.
Warren is reached at six o'clock
sharp. We had brought the car safe
ly home, a little disfigured by mud,
and needing some tire repairs, but
otherwise in as good shape as when
we started.
We had seen great deal of coun-
try on the long and interesting trip,
and We can say from actual expert
ence and knowledge that Minnesota
is a great state, great in territorial
extent and also in the productiveness
of it's soil, and in the thrift and en-
terprise of it's citizens.

summon the patrol wagon and check
in. which will be required of them.
At headquarters is the central phone,
and an automatic device which reg
listers the number of the officer who
is checking in. All patrolmen are
required to do this at regular inter
walls.
The patrol wagon has not yet ar
rived. but one will be placed in com
mission at an early date. The pa
trolmen themselves like the new sys.

necessity of dragging prisoners to
the Jail. which in the case of a dead
