ALL FEET MUST TOUCH FLOOR
Hint to Brakemen in Recent Order
" BY st. Paul Road.

- BY st. Paut hoau.
Passenger brakemen on the Mil
waukee may no longer revel in the
end seat of the sleeping car and pill
low their feet in the sumptuous up
holsterings of the opposite divan.
Hereafter If the brakeman wants
to rest he will have to rest on the
cowcatcher and let his feet hang
over the edge or sit on the plat
form and let his heels rest off the
roof. ~.
Formerly the railroads gave little
attention to such extravagances. II
the brakeman took a fancy to rest
ing his feet inthe lap of the pas
senger in front of him no objection
was offered by the railroad so long
as the passenger himself. made no
protest. -. ~.
The Milwaukee has, therefore is-
sued the following order to brake
men: .. ...., ,....
Complaint has been made that
passenger brakemen are in the habit
of sitting in the end section OF
sleeping car smoking cars and put
ting their feet on the opposite seat,
in this way soiling and, often ruin
ing the leather on the. seats. The
practice must be discontinued. m

clined election The position OF al
zebra teacher, formerly held by Har-
old X. Chance, but later by Mrs.

However, with their usual dispatch
they put an end to the fire before

The fire started from some un

covered, had gained considerable

buggy, surrey, a. new cutter and
new set of harness burned, besides
500 pounds of hay and a load OF
straw. Some oil that was in the
barn was not. disturbed.
The building was a well built at
fair, 16x24x14, and had room for one
cow and four or five horses. The in

Objection BY Regain.
Mr.. Scherer brought up the mat
ter of paying rental to the Y. M. c..
A. for the use of Lewis Athletic
field. Mr. Regain objected again, but
to no avail, and on motion of Mr..
Davies, the board decided to pay $25
for the rent of Lewis Athletic field.
John f. Regain brought up the
matter of selling the East Mankato
school. He was informed that a
certain person wanted to buy it, and
he figured up the entire cost of con-
struction to $4,000 He said the
building was rotting, and the board
might just as we'll sell it at once
and get something out of it. 1t was
finally moved and carried that the
property and expense committee en-
ter into negotiations for the sale of
this building and to advertise for
bids. 49,
Some Drayage Bill.
Mr.. Regain reported that the work
of putting in asbestos and galvan.
lied tin over the smoke pipe in the
West End school had been done sat-
isfactory. The matter of excessive
drayage was also brought up. The
cost OF drayage of few barrels OF
oil, it was found, was more than
the entire freight from Chicago to
Mankato, and SO. it was decided to
elect August Deike to look after all
drayage until ! further notice. Mr..
Davies moved that all the railroads
be instructed not to deliver any
freight to draymen except to Mr..
! Deike. 49, .

FOrty-four teachers and instructors

Talk of Other Peoples Money.
Being a good fellow with the
other peoples money is stealing,
was his dictum, and so he couldn't
see what earthly good the raising OF
a teachers salary could be. He
thought that the school board ought
to. go slow with other peoples money
and by his objections was seemingly
trying to establish a reputation SINH
lar to that OF Congressman Holman
who was called the watch dog OF
the nations treasury" However
when it was fully explained that II
was q custom and legal to raise the
salary of a teacher each year until
the maximum was reached and that
it would sometimes be difficult to KEEP
good teacher unless her salary
was raised, Mr.. Regain assented.
Thus when about half the
teachers had been elected, and
no objections came from Mr.. Regain
George Scherer, thinking such 81
lence strange, called halt to the
meeting for few moments and with
twinkle in his eye, wanted to give
Mr.. Regain time to make another OBJ
lection because this raise was Gin
competent, irrelevant and immaterial
etc." But Mr.. Regain held his peace
Everything said was taken good nat
uredly, however.

PAID THE DISTRICT S62.42
o. r. Bowen Settles Account With
School Trustees.


The payment of $62.42 by D. T.
Bowen to school district No. 4
South Bend, has effected a settle
ment between Mr.. Bowen and the
district. Mr.. Bowen was treasurer
of the district for several years and
retired from the position in July,
1910. On July IL, 1911, he deposit
ed in the Mankato State bank $271
to the credit of the district. When
Mr.. Bowen relinquished the office Of
treasurer there was due to the
school district from the county the
sum of $200.44. This amount was
not drawn by Mr.. Bowen, but it was
charged up to him.
A few days after Mr.. Bowen had
deposited the $271 in the Mankato
State bank he went on a trip to
the west During his absence there
was considerable talk about the af-
fairs of the school district of which
he had been the treasurer. On his
return to the city Mr.. Bowen made
statement to a local newspaper that
he had paid the Scho0l district
about 500 more than was coming
to it.
During the winter G. A. Hutton
gren, clerk of this district, made an
examination of the books, and ac-
cording to his figures Mr.. Bowen
was indebted to the district in the
sum of $62.42. The books were
also examined by County Auditor
Weaver and his figures agreed with
those of Mr.. Hultengren.
On March Mr.. Bowen was no.

ton of the books and on Monday

ception of a formulative plan. AS
the work proceeds, new methods
doubtless will be revealed that can
be judiciously utilized. First, what
to do and second how to do it,
Among the preliminary purposes
which might he suggested for the
commercial bodies to undertake
would be the cultivation of a fra
ternal brotherhood between the town
and country folk. Today there is
lack of cooperation tending to the
mutual benefit Of these two distinc-
tive communities. There is a barrier
of prejudice and distrust existing in
the mind of the farmer against the
tradesmen in his neighboring town
or city. This may account to GER
tain degree why the farmer is such
a generous patron of the catalogue
houses in the metropolitan cities.
The same feeling of prejudice and
distrust is prevalent with the mer-
chant, especially the grocer in the
town. The farmer maintains there
of his farm products are fixed in the
daily market. Not only that but the
similarity of prices of certain sta
pie articles sold by quite all the
grocers impresses the men from the
country that there must be such a
combination otherwise a remarkable
coincidence
"In order to overcome the feeling
of distrust these conditions must be
changed by cultivating a greater
fraternal spirit between the town
and country. The result would prove
naturally advantageous. AS briefly
outlined this should be the stepping
stone toward the OBJECT to be at
tanned.
"The opportune time is rife to be-
gin the task of bringing about the
contamination so devoutly wished.
The agitation for the building OF
new and better roads, the introduc-
ton of more scientific methods in
farming, the inclination Of farmers
to secure better stock whereby two
pounds of butter can be produced as
cheaply as one are all factors tend
ing toward a higher and more profit
able development in the art Of farm
ing. The evolution along agricul-
tural lines Is to be further revealed
in the form Of smaller farms to be
more generously fortified and more
scientifically cultivated. Weeds will
be eliminated, not only from the
farms but from the roads. The trac'
ton engine is to supplant the bulky
pillow not owned by the smaller
farmer, but he will pay per acre for
his blowing, thus saving an invest
ment, time and labor. q
"In the meantime, the thrifty
farmer will be taught to understand
the monetary value of farm machin-
cry, and protect it from the corrod-
ing elements.
when these higher standards in
the art of farming shall have been
attained, larger population will be
attracted to the farm and the acres
which in so many places, are now
so inadequately titled; will have
been made to increase an hundred
fold.
1.-THE commercial bodies Of South
ern Minnesota can become a poten-
tial factor by cooperating with the
farming community in this great
work and the mutual benefits de-
rived therefrom will become pro-
nounced."
