A NEW GIRLS DORMITORf
Named for Judge Daniel Buck, Known
AS "Father of
Normal"

Mankato.-"Daniel Buck HALF is
the name selected for the girls dOrmi-
tory that is now nearing completion.
to be used for housing girls attending
the state normal school. The state
normal board authorized John c. Wise,
resident director. and President c. II.
Cooper to choose a name
p. Judge Daniel Buck was closely asso-
ciated with the beginning OF the Man
kato normal, having secured the pas
sage of the bill for it's creation, while
a member OF the state legislature in
1866, and having served as the first
resident director and member of the
normal board. Because of his interest
in the school, he acquired the title of
father of the normal school,, and the
selection of his name is considered
eminently appropriate. His death oc-
Cured several years ago. He was at
one time member of the state SUI
preme court, and was engaged in bank
ing and other local enterprises.
President Cooper hiss gone east, to
be gone two weeks or more. He will

LOGO Farmers Attend Meeting.

Redwood Falls-One of the largest
farmers elevator meetings on record
was held in this city for the purpose
of amending the articles of incorpora-
ton. Fully a thousand farmers were
present. ]. NJ. Anderson of Fargo,
president of the Equity Cooperative
Grain exchange, said Minnesota was
TO be commended for its investigation
of the grain trade, and predicted that
the results would make some of the
members of the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce sit up and take notice.
He declared that examination showed
that, owing to the rules governing the
inspection and grading of grain, the
line houses made millions every year
from the processes known as mixing
grains. He contended these profits
were made as a result of the opera
tion of the rules and their enforce
ment, and that they were made in ad-
dition to the legitimate profits of the
business.

OWAT0NNA TO IMPROVE LAKE
Plans Made at Organization Meeting
for Popularizing Summer
Resort.

Owatonna.-A meeting of business
men and sportsmen was held last
week to organize and formulate plans
to improve Rice lake, eight miles east
Of the city. R H. Bach was elected
chairman and F. A. Durham secretary.
1t was decided to have the lake sur
veyed and a profile made and then
take the proposition before the county
commissioners and ask permission to
make the improvements. 1t is thought
the water can be raised about five feet
without any material damage to sur
rounding property. If this can be
done it would make lake about three
miles long and one mile wide, with a
shore adapted for park purposes. 1t
is the intention to make public park
out of it and to stock the lake with
game fish.
The lake was stocked several years
ago with fish, but owing to the shall
lowness of the water they were de-
stroyed in the winter Up to a few
years ago it was full of wild rice.
From the enthusiasm shown at the
meeting the success of the proposition
is assured.
Part of the lake lies in Dodge coun-
ty, so it will be necessary to get the
people of that county interested. The
money for temporary needs was quick
ly raised by those present and prom
iseS for as much more as might be
necessary were made.

said a peculiar looking individual who
entered the Office of Governor A. 0.

Bible under his arm and apparently
was much in earnest over his errand.
Tears flowed from his eyes as he went
on to declaim against such waste of

tried to soOthe him, but he insisted

WARM UP PITCHER SECRETLY
Manager Evers to Have Rescue
TwirIers Prepare Out Of Sight of
crowd-changes Old Method.

Pitchers warming up in the view
of the spectators is to be abolished
at the Cub baseball park this sum-
mer Heretofore the men were sent
to the clubhouse to get their arms in
shape and it was the result of much
ridicule being heaped upon the twirl-
er in the box. This is to be eliminat-
ed by having the rescue fingers linn
Der up back of the grandstand in the
right field where they cannot be seen.
When pitcher is going badly on
the rubber and a man is sent out to
warm up it will be done without the
knowledge of the fans or the man in
the box. Generally when a pitcher is
unsteady and another man is prepar-
ing to take his place many discourag-
ing remarks are made which only
have tendency to cause more un.
steadiness. By having the men pre-
pare back of the stand, Manager
Evers can give signal for a man TO
warm up without the knowledge of

" ON JENKINS, now an instructor
at the West Point Military acad-
epy and former American cham
ploe, was, according to Gotch,
the strohgeat American wrestler he
ever met. He defeated Gotch in what
the latter terms the second hardest
match of his career, February %, 1908,
at Cleveland, o.
In justice to Gotch it must be said
that he went into this match with the
idea of trying out Jenkins. He had
heard of Jenkins wonderful strength
and rough tactics and was eager to
match his skill with that of the Cleve-
lander, but was afraid to take chances.
That probably lost him the match
Gotch, too, had not yet reached the
heights of practical perfection at the
catch. as-catch-can style.
AS 1t was, Gotch might have been
given this match on foul, as Jenkins
was twice cautioned for employing the
strangle hold in the first bout and
once in the second. Jenkins won on a
Jaw lock, the next door neighbor to the
strangle grip.
This match, like the later meeting
of this pair at Bellingham, Wash, was
among the toughest mat battles in
American history. jenkins, strong and
sinewy as he was, got one of the Sc
verest gruelings Of his stormy career
as a topnotch grappler. Gotch was a
sorry sight as he returned to his
home folks at Humboldt, bruised anG
bandaged, his nose twisted and his
body decorated with plasters and
other reminders of the battle, but
eager for a return encounter Referee
Edwards at one point threatened to
stop the match. He told the wrestlers
he was there supposed to referee a
mat battle, not prize fight or a cock
fight.
Farmer Burns had instructed Gotch
how to meet Jenkins attack and the
Humboldt boy refused to change his
tactics. He simply tried to hold Jen-
kins off. He played the same game
against Jenkins to which he resorted
in his match with Hackenschmidt, but
in this instance it failed because Gotch
didn't know much about wrestling.
The wrestlers were on their feet
roughing it for nearly an hour and a
half. Edwards warned them to mix it,
but Gotch refused. Jenkins rushed
Gotch to the ropes. Gotch slid to the
floor and Jenkins worked over him
like beaver. Edwards warned Jen-
kins against the strangle hold. Cct2h
was up in flash and tripped jenkins
to the floor. Gotch was cautious and
held his opponent to the mat for some
time. Jenkins with supreme effort
broke away. Then they roughed it un-
til cautioned again by the referee.
Jenkins made a lunge and landed be-

FARMERS SHORT COURSE ENDS
Grain, Corn and Potato Contest to Be
Held Each Year,
Hereafter.

Crokston.-The third annual shor,
course at the Crookston school of agri.
culture and northwest experiment sta,
ton has closed and was admittedly
productive of the best results of any
series of gatherings ever held in this
section of the state.
The improvement of social condi-
tions in rural communities was the
main theme and Mrs. George Schuck,
president of the FairfaX-Andover So,
cial circle, presided and made the
principal address for that section OF
the days program.
Plans in Practice.
The FairfaX-Andover Social circle
organized three years ago has in act
ual practice the plans outlined by
President Vincent of the University of
Minnesota during university week last
summer in various parts of the state.
The club membership is composed of
the women of two townships, the men
being honorary members. They meet
weekly in the winter months and
monthly during the rush months of
summer and at stated times the men
have a big dinner after which al.
dresses are made and some real prob
lem taken up and discussed
The result is that the women be-
come intelligent helpmeets for their
farmer husbands, instead of competent
drudges. The farmers who looked on
the plan askance on the start, are now
its most enthusiastic supporters. 1t
has developed team work between
the house wife and the field boss that
has resulted in better farming and has
wonderfully increased the attractive
ness of rural life.
The attendance at the short course
broke all records. There were crowds
every day ranging from 400 to close
to 1000, the largest crowd being pres
ent Monday when Dean Woods, Profes-
sor Boss and Professor Nelson were
present. The farmers came from
every portion of northwestern Mime
sofa and the greatest interest was
manifested in every subject discussed,
pure seed, livestock, dairying, horticul-
tire, poultry and on down the list.
One of the biggest features was the
grain, corn and potato contest, which

Australian Wants Trial.

R. V. Wenholz of New South Wales,
who reports himself as being one Of
the premier pitchers of Australia, has
written Manager McGraw of the Gil
ants, for a chance to show what he
can do in this country. He asks
the New York owners to name the sal
ard they would pay him, and also ex-
poets the club to stand for the ex-
pense of his trip from Australia. Wen
holz says Americans would be sur
prised at the class of ball played in
Australia. The Australian, as a part
ing favor, asks that if the Giants are
unable to use him, they turn his ap-
plication over to some other major
league club.
