case the fact shat Greece is standing 10

of srea- Importance.
In the second rlire the Cheek a5-

the allies. arising from jsa1ousies cpn-
eernhng the Nosss sion IF Saloniki ami
the tnstence OF the Greeks on the capit-
ulaton of Atranoole, Scutari and
Jan!na.
Other points which may INFLUENCE
the Situation are to be found in the
fact that Turkey rscenuy sought 20
conclude a SEPARATE treaty of peace
with GRACE, that Bulgaria aoNarently
is mot willing to enter into an alliance
with Turkey and that the alliss ara

between Greece and Bulgaria are gnaatly

among the allies leave the situatio1

1t Is raCsortsd that France is trying

that financial pressure and exhaustion
of their forpcs had MUCH to do with the
willingness of Bulgaria and Servla

LICENSE IS WON AT WASECA
Tie Vote Gives the Vets Victory;
What Charter Says.

Waseca, April 5.-The non-parti.
san charter election held in this
city Tuesday proved rather unin'
teresting affair, SO far as candidates
for office were concerned.
The license question was the main
issue, and the result was so close
that it proved unsatisfactory to
both sides. There were SOS votes
cast, and of this number 349, or ex-
actly half, were opposed to license;
33S were in favor Of license and
eleven ballots were blank.
The face of the returns would
show that the no-license people had
won. But the charter of the city
of Waseca, under which the election
was held, read as follows, in refer.
ence to a vote on license: eff such
returns show that majority of the
votes cast at such election shall
be against license, then the common
council shall not grant any license"
AS a majority of the votes cast
was not against license, local attor-
neys hold that the council has pow

OPENED TO HOMESTEAD
Forth Unit of the Shosh0ne Irrigation
Project in Wyoming; Govern.
ment Bulletin.

On April % the fourth unit OF
the Shoshone irrigation project in
Wyoming will be opened to home
stead entry by the government. This
unit lies to the north and west of
the town Of Powell, and contains
some of the finest land on the prof.
ect. The farms are mostly eighty
acres each, and homeseekers are in.
vited to investigate the opportuni-
ties afforded by this opening.
Five Hundred Families.
About five hundred families are
already established on the first
three units and have built roads,
schools and churches. The project
has railroad facilities, rural delivery
telephones, and there are thriving
towns at short intervals.
The Shoshone project lies in a
region of great scenic beauty with a
delightful and healthful climate and
a fertile soil. The reclamation serv-
ice at Washington, ID. c., has pre-
pared a booklet fully describing this
section and giving detailed informa-
ton as to methods of acquiring
these farms. This will be sent free
upon request.
The Shoshone Project.
The Shoshone project is believed
to be one of the best sections in
the west for general farming. 1t
is fine dairy country. The farm
ers arc now shipping an average OF
$1,000 worth of cream to Billings.
A new creamery is under way at
Cody. Alfalfa is the main crop,
producing from three to six tons per
annum. The new alfalfa meal mill
at Powell will pay the farmers un'
der contract $3.50 per ton loose at
the mill for period of five years.
Another profitable crop is sugar
beets.

COURT CUT A WEDDING KNOT
Marriage in Other States to Evade
Law Held to Be Voidable.

st. Paul, April 5.-Under a de-
cision by Judge Brill of the district
court, filed yesterday, marriages en-
tered into outside Minnesota for the
purpose of evading limitations i'm
posed by the states divorce laws
are voidable. This was decided when
Mrs. James S. Carey, Jr, had her
marriage annulled.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carey were married
at Hudson, Wis, within month
after Carey had been divorced IN
Minnesota last December. The
Minnesota law requires a six months
period before divorced person
can remarry. A month or SO after
his second marriage Carey was ar
rested for attempting to rob a pay
telephone in the Ryan hotel. Judge
Orr sent him TO the state reforma'
tory at St. Cloud, and Mrs. Carey
brought suit for annulmcnt of the
marriage.
Judge Brill in granting the an
nulment establishes the precedent
that Minnesota's divorce laws cannot
be evaded even though the attempt
is made in another state.

From Fridays Daily, .41
Last Saturday morning Mayor
Haynes of Minneapolis received and

perintendent Of police of that city q
communication received from Maple
ton to the effect that a party here
had been in Minneapolis at the time
of the Matthews murder and could
give good description of the muir
derer, says The Mapleton Enterprise
Word was Immediately dispatched
to Mapleton but in the talk over
the telephone the name was misun'
derstood by Marshal Prenzlow. Later
an Enterprise reporter called up SUI
perintendent Mealey and learned the
name, that of Iren Pratt, living west
of town on the Sterling and Lyra
township line. The original letter
was also mailed here and having a
sample of Mr.. Pratt's handwriting
in the office it was apparent that
the letter was a forgery and that
someone in Mr. Pats neighborhood
had evidently thought it would be a
good joke to implicate their neigh.
Dor in the matter. -E ..g.
.- Poor Time to Joke.
When all the powers, of the state
are being exerted to their utmost to
discover who committed one of the
most atrocious crimes in the history
of the city of Minneapolis it is a
poor time and poor subject, for
practical joking. This is not the first
time that someone in this neighbor-
hood has been guilty of the same
undetermined and disgraceful meth
DDS. AT the time OF, the Catherine
Cling murder a similar letter was
sent to Minneapolis and district
court adjourned to investigate the
claims of the letter which had been
sent in and which claimed that the
late Ike Wheeler was an eye wit
ness to that crime. The Enterprise
at that time spent some money and
effort to locate the partys who wrote
the letter and is satisfied who pen
ned the note and has a fair idea
in this case.
...". Serious interference.
1t is certainly a serious interfer-
ence with the means Of justice and
if there is any power to ferret
out the party who mailed the let

be used and the party made to pay
the penalty of his indiscretion.

HOW BOY WAS LOST:
BOOK BY DR.. Cowgirl
Story Written to UpIift Youths;
Structures On Parents.

Notwithstanding his many duties
as district superintendent for the
Mankato district of the Methodist
church of the Minnesota conference,
Rev. Frank B. Cowgirl has found
time to write several poems and a.
book. His latest book, entitled How
the Boy Was Lost" is on the press
now and will be brought out about
April Is. Rev. Cowgirl wrote a lit.
tie book of poems called "Sea of
Galilee," which had a large Christ
mas sale in Mankato and from the
outlook may have large Easter
sale also.
Descriptive of Holy Land.
This little book is descriptive of
the section of the Holy Land near
the Sea of Galilee, which is of per-
ennial interest for all who have
read the story of Christ 1t was
decorated by Laura Miller.
How the Boy Was Lost" is the
title of a series of lectures delivered
by Rev. Cowgirl several years ago
and which he has elaborated into
book form. 1t is unique little
volume with excellent treatment Of
a vital subject and written from
a practical working knowledge of
boys needs, based on wide expert
ence with boys and an unusually
careful observation of boy nature.
After brief and specific charac-
terization in chapter one, of boy
life, injured and misdirected through
lack of diligence of the right sort,
he makes a careful study of the
different periods of boyhood, show
ing the absolute necessity for intel
ligent confidence in the boy and
constant attention to all his real
needs, which vary constantly as he
develops.
Charge Against the Parent.
AS the title indicates, the book
is Il serious charge against parents
and the community for failure to
meet the boy half way at every
doubtful and difficult point in his
growth to full manhood. All in all,
it is careful study of the boy prob
lens of the present day.
1t is being published by Jenning
& Graham of Cincinnati. who also
published his Sea of Galilee." Rev.
Cowgirl is at present spending his
spare time in writing a little poem,
Bethlehem" which is an Easter
message and contains illustrations
by the same person who handled
the "Sea of Galilee." All his books
will be on sale at one of the local
book stores.
Rev. Cowgirl is candidate for
the editorship of The Northwestern
Christian Advocate, published in Chi
cage, the official organ of the Meth
odist church, and no doubt will make
a strong showing for that position,
as his literary talent will mean
much for him should he become
member of the order of editors.
