SECOND FARM TOUR PLANNED
Equip Another Flying Squadron
for 81 Counties.

Mankato.-The Southern Minnesota
Better Development league is plan
ming on another Southern Minnesota
tour, similar to the successful one
just held. .H|
Secretary John d. Deets is CORE
spending with the Commercial clubs
in the larger towns in Waseca, Dodge,
Steele, Olmsted, Winona, Wabasha,
Goodhue, Rice, LeSueur, Scott and Da-
kota counties, with view to securing
their cooperation in making the tour
success.
1t is proposed to have this run the
week of Nov. II, provided the
weather is favorable. Good speakers
will be secured, and such subjects as
better farming and good roads will
be brought to the front.
The arrangements for the annual
meeting of the league are under way.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee, to be held in this city Monday,
the program will be prepared. The
constitution provides for the annual
meeting on the first Tuesday in De-
cember, but the Southern Minnesota
Medical society will meet in Mankato
that day, filling the hotels, so only the
officers will meet on Dec. 2, and will
adjourn the meeting until the next
day.
1t is expected that each of the thir-
ty-one counties in the league will be
represented.

MANKATO SEEKS UNION DEPOT

Mankato.-Officials of the four rail-
roads entering Mankato were guests
of the Commercial club at luncheon
last week. The afternoon was de-
voted to conference between three
committees 2f the club and the city
council and a few leading shippers
and the officials, in regard to remodel
ing the railroad yards in such manner
that switching over Main street will
be done away with, and the passenger
stations will be located east of the
railway tracks,.
1t is the desire of the city that
union station be built, or, if this can
not be done, that the joint Omaha and
Northwestern station be located in
a more accessible place. The proposed
improvement would involve the ex-
penditure of a large sum, and some
concessions by the city and the rail-
roads to each other.

BIG SNAKE IN THE CELLAR
Had Taken UP Winter Quarters ana
Resented Being Disturbed
Fought for His Home.

Chester, Pa.-Stanley SabotsKy
went into his cellar and saw what
appeared to be a coil of rope. he
kicked it. A big blacksnake twined
itself about his leg. Sabotskys
screams were heard all over the
house. He reached the first floor
with the snake hanging on. In
short time a crowd of neighbors as
sembled. The sight Of the snake
caused a panic. Finally one man
mustered up courage to tackle the
snake with a club. Several blows
caused the snake to release its hold
on Sabotsky and return to the cellar.
The presence of the snake, which
measured six feet, is accounted for
by James Caldwell, brakeman, who
says be saw the reptile leave a coal
car. The snake apparently crept into
the cellar to make it's winter home
sabotsky has barred the entrance
to the cellar. He says that after he
.ecovers from the shock to his nerv-
Gus system he may have the courage
to hunt the snake again.

MANY SPORTSMEN
ARE IN MINNESOTA
RECORD HORDE OF HUNTERS
PoURS IN FROM TWENTY
ONE STATES.
WILL MEAN NEAT REVENUE
1876 Licenses Are Issued to Non-Resi-
dents-State Commission Agent
Gives Statistics for Season
and Draws Conclusions.

St. Paul.-Hunters from twenty-one
states are tramping over the game
fields of Minnesota to prove for them
selves that Minnesota is the nimrod's
paradise. Never in the history OF the
state game and fish commission has
there been such a rush OF sportsmen
as at this season, according to II. A.
Rider, executive agent of the commits
sion, who has issued 435 small game
licenses to non-residents and expects
to issue fifty more before the season
ends. Last year, which was record
year, showed 4O3 licenses given out
20 non-residents. In 1911 there were
2S7.
Have Come for Years.
Many of the visiting sportsmen have
been coming to the state for years
Ind their success in the past not only
has encouraged them to return but to
tell their friends of the great sport to
be had in the forests and fields OF
Minnesota.
They came this year from nearly
every section of the union and even
from Canada, from New Hampshire in
The east and California in the west;
from Quebec and Florida. Naturally
The greater number of the visitors is
from the neighboring states of Iowa,
South Dakota and Wisconsin. Illinois
hunters seem to be partial to Mime
sofa, as more than fifty residents Of
Chicago have been supplied with per-
mits to shoot in Minnesota during the
present season.
The records of the commission show
that licenses were issued this year to
citizens of Michigan, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Pennsylva-
MIA, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Massa-
,husetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Ala
bama, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Montana in addition to the states pre-
Viously mentioned. ~
Five Here From Florida.
From Florida, long represented as
an ideal country for hunting, five
sportsmen have come. Among them
are Rev. E. E. Madeirs, formerly of St
Paul, but now resident of st. Peters
burg, Fla, and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Ringing, formerly of 'Baraboo, Wis.,,
but now at homs in Sarasota, Fla.
and e. c. and F. W. Long of Jackson.
vile. 72
Every nonresident taking out a
small game license in Minnesota pays
$40 for the privilege. These fees make
a tidy source of revenue for the state.
Mr.. Rider is of the opinion that the
revenue collected is only small ad-
vantage compared with the other bene.
fits derived by the state from the in
1uX of hunters. re r.

A day or SO after the school sea-

trician appeared at one of the schools
and began the installation of q
"spanker" in small ante room where
the children had access at all times,
when the school sessions were not on.
AS the "spanker" gradually assumed

were made, the unruly pupils began
to ask question and finally they
were given a demonstration of it's
ability to administer punishment.
Working on the same system as an
electric vibratory massage machine
the "spanker" delivers about five

TOWN WILL HIRE AN EXPERT

Morris is going to be rum" or man.
aged, by a town expert, by a man
whose speciality is town management,
who has been trained by education
and experience for just such work.
This is to follow as the result of q
change in the plan of government
adopted at recent election Morris
Is going under a commission form Of
government, in other words.
The commission is to consist of
three men, one of whom will have the
title of mayor. These three men will
be responsible for the government
Of the city.
But the real control of the city, the
executive management will be in the
hands of a trained expert. This man
is not necessarily to be resident of
the city. He may come from anywhere
In this or another county. The only
requirement to be made of him is that
he shall know his business, and know
how to put his knowledge into sue
cessful practice. 1t is in this that
Morris is making a wide departure
from commission forms in other
cities.
While the mayor will appoint the
chief of police, the latter will have to
look to the expert for guidance when
he is dealing with matters which give
him doubt.
The schools, however, do not come
under the supervision of the commits
sion. They will be managed as be-
fore by separate board.
The commission, under the new
plan, will be elected on the tradi-
tional election day in November
While under the new charter there
may be any number of tickets in the
field, a certain percentage of the vot.
ers being the only requirement for
nominating ticket, this fall there is
only one ticket up.
The ticket consists of E. ]. Jones,
for mayor, and ]. R. Kruger and N.
Vinge for commissioners.

Disease.

Chicago, Oct. 28-From Minneapo-

light in the gloomy life of Miss Ma
RE Golfers, who has been ostracized
and driven from one position to an
other. barred from homes and refug-
es, because she once served as a
nurse in a leper colony.
Despite the fact that she has been
given a clean bill of health by boards
of physicians, people looked upon her
with horror and stunned her as some
thing evil. Recently she announced
she would abandon the struggle and
devote the remainder of her life to
service in some foreign leper colony.
Then came letter from DR.. J. E.
Engstad, Minneapolis physician. The
letter was dated Oct. % and enclosed
card for Miss Golfers, assuring her
of a refuge in Minnesota, where, the
doctor says, they do not quarantine
for leprosy.
