SPARROW SAVED
FROM FREEZING

Although Ralph Stanton, of the CT
gar firm of Goble G. Stanton, does
not claim any supernatural powers he
believes that he performed a near
miracle this morning. when he resur-
rected into life what he confidently be-
heved 10 be a deceased sparrow.
He came down to his place of bust
ness at Nineteenth street and Second
avenue and just as he was opening the
door he looked down and saw a spar
row lying on the front step which he
believed was dead. He picked 1t up
to throw it out in the street and no
ticed convulsive Jerk in one Of the
birds legs. Taking it inside he put a
few drops of brandy down its throat
and placed it near the radiator. The
sparrow Immediately began TO show
signs OF life and within half hour be-
gan to hop around the floor.
At $3.50 the bird was making regular
trips from chandelier to chandelier
chirping as noisily as il 1t had not been
rescued from the brink OF the grave
Whether or not the bird win be kept
in the store as pet has not beon de
-cided.

A JAIL SENTENCE

When the prisoners who we're ar
rested Saturday night and yes.
terday by the police were al
lowed their liberty this morning, it
was with a little indecision that they
made tracks for healthier climes. AS
each left the station house, he could
be seen to pause, seemingly debating
whether to wade through the big drifts
of snow or to go back and ask for a
jail sentence. But just the same they
all got away. There were some who
were sent down to the county jail.
James Graham and Thomas Hanley,
two robust knights Of the road, were
sent down for 20 days apiece. They
belong to that big army of moochers
that infests the city now. Officer
Herges took them under his wing
while they were begging yesterday
While enroute to the county Jail to-
day they picked a little path in the
snow, shivered, and said they would
prefer incarceration for three times 90
days. II they stay around Rock Island
after they are released, they will get
six months as vags.

ALLOWEDTO Die
Night Porter Wakes Up and

NO KlNDLlNG IN SIGHT
Starts Fire With Empty Beer Gases
Before Guests Find Out What
Had Happened.
NO KINDLING IN SIGHT

1t required Just s2.50 worth Of kind
ling wood to start the fire at the Rock
Island house this morning, all be-
cause A. Baker, the night porter at the
hotel, fell asleep at the switch when he
should have been shoveling coal.
Baker had been working like a slave
feeding the furnace during the early
part of the evening In an effort to
keep the house warm, and found 1t
quite a strenuous task because Of the
blizzard raging without. After getting
a roaring fire going, he sat down to
rest for a minute and before he knew
it the cold gray dawn was showing
through the windows. He awoke with
start, and rushing to the furnaces,
discovered to his CONSERVATION that
the fires were cold. He lost no time
but at once started for the kindling bin
but to his horror found that there was
not even splinter Of wood in stock.
GETS AN INSPIRATION.
Visions Of disgruntled guests kicking
about the cold arose before his mind
and he saw his job rapidly fading.
Suddenly he got ali inspiration. and
rushing to the store room grabbed five
beer cases, value so cents each, and
the steam was soon throbbing through
the radiators as of yore.
Baker was sleeping peacefully this
morning, but employees around the no
tel are willing to wager that big coal
shovel occupied the limelight in his
dreams.

day when he broke out of Jail and
beat it for this city. He appears TO
be a clean cut young fellow, but his
record bellies his appearance. He was
arrested last summer in Rock Island
after he had ridden here on a stolen
motorcycle. Ii was for that theft
that he was jailed in Cedar Rapids
II is thought that investigation will
lead to the laying of further crimes

business men and the country bust
ness men unite to get a good road in
to a town there is little difficulty in
getting such roads. All the follow
ING towns have such organizations {.
Dawson, Canbv. Ortonville, Clinton,
Graceville, Holloway, Benson, Nor
ris, Wheaton, Herman. There are
doubtless others. In the summers
such clubs often get up moving bees
to clear the sides Of the roads OF
weeds and tall grass. Such bees take
only about half day twice or three
times during the summer, and besides
improving the appearance Of the
town and country they foster a spir-
it Of fellowship and community pride
which is invaluable.
WHY ARE THE MEN BACK OF
THESE THINGS?
Naturally it takes time, money and
most of all, men, to start and keep
such things as these going. Who are
these men?
There is Mr.. F. W. Murphy of
Wheaton, Mimi, President of the As
ISOLATION and the busiest lawyer in
Western Minnesota. Mr.. Murphy
puts in every spare moment planning
and working for the Association.
There is T. G. Thornton, Treasurer
of the, Association and President Of
Benson's oldest bank. He is thor
oughly interested in West Central
Minnesota. Supt. E. c. Higbie is
tireless worker as Secretary Of the
Organization. He and Mr.. B. F.
Woodland as Executive Secretary
have been chasing up the dollars to
make the movement go. Then there
are the bankers, editors, farmers and
merchants in good measure to aid the
work. In each county there is a COM
mittee Of five or more men who take
charge of the local funds, and work
with the county agricultural agent.
Directly overseeing and guiding the
work Of these county men is Profess
sor Geo. Baker Of the University, act
ing in the capacity Of District Agri-
cultural Director. He is member of
the University faculty and is paid by
the State. To him the county men
report and to him they look for as
sistance whenever they need it.
This in a way is what West Gen.
trail Minnesota is doing to develop in
better shape its manifold resources.
It has been said that this Association
comprises '.'the best II contiguous

purchased and sold out in the coun-
ty. The carload was purchased and
auctioned off on an appointed day.
Before each animal was sold an ex-
pert animal husbandry man pointed
out the strong or weak points Of the
animal. There was no loss on the
load. In fact, the club cleared about
$3.50. Since that time a number Of
other good Individual animals have
been introduced. In word Stevens
county farmers have agreed to go in
strong for Holstein cattle. They are
going to make Stevens county stand
out large for that particular kind Of
cattle.
On Dec. II A. B. Lathrop, County
Agricultural Agent for Big Stone
county is going to hold a similar auc-
ton in Graceville. Some communi-
ties 60 in for beef and some for dairy
types. The object Of the association
is in getting each County to go in for
some one sort and to make that
success.
The County Agricultural Agent
will aid in the formation Of such
clubs. He will do this not only in the
matter of stock but with grains, po-
tatoes, corn, etc.
POTATOES.
Take the one product as an exam
pie. Where there is no unified action
one may easily find in single COM
munity (and often in a single ield)
from ten to fifteen different varieties
of potatoes. Where the potato
growers unite and cooperate it is US
ual to have only one or two Of the
we'll known varieties. It needs no
elaboration to show the great advan-
tage which such a community has in
the potato markets. Buyers know
what they can get and that they can
get carload lots and they naturally
seek such communities.
The price for uniform carloads is
always higher than that for mixed
varieties. Too few communities real
ize these advantages. It will be the
business of the County Agents to call
their attention to these and to aid
them in uniting on just such PROPOSE
tons. -.

SANE AGITATION.

By means Of sane agitation much
has been done. 1t has been pointed out
in a good many parts of the district
that the interests Of the town and
country in this Western part of the
state are educational and to further
those interests the Association is ad-
vocating and helping to form Town
and Country Clubs, which will have
many of the features of Commercial
Clubs and Associations in our larger
cities.
There is no doubt that such clubs
can be Of unlimited good in lettering
the social and business spirit in our
rural communities. When the mer-
chant sees that the Farmers inter-
est is his interest and the farmer sees
that the local merchant is his best
co-laborer, many Of our most serious
local problems are more than half
solved.
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Good illustration Of what such
clubs can accomplish is the good
roads movement. When the town

To solve this problem the Associa-

sources and opportunities of the
Western part of this state before the
immigration department of the East
ern and Southern States in such a
way that they will not hesitate to re-
commend it as good place to settle.
The Association contemplates send
ing several men into Eastern States
to stimulate immigration in this =di-
rection. Already the officers have
gotten in touch with the Federal I'm
migration Department.
