INVENTOR OF PORTABLE
THRESHER DEAD
Lived in Penury for Several Years,
But Died Wealthy Man.

. Il 8
J. r. G. Karlen, farmer, soldier and
inventor, who for some years was a
resident near Thief River Falls, is re-
ported to have passed away at Vino
ma. He was born in Switzerland
and came as a young man to this
country to make his fortune. Later
he enlisted in the army and after the
war settled down to farming. He had
always been interested in the culture
Of fax and hemp, and having implicit
belief in the possibility of a machine
TO thresh the fax without destroying
the fibre, he labored to invent such a
contrivance.
Not long ago he perfected ma
chine Of this kind and it was patented
but he was a poor man and found diff
fculty in finding anyone to capitalize
a concern to the extent that satisfied
him. After having made several at
tempts, he finally succeeded at Vino
ma in finding men Of means who were
willing to capitalize a concern with
him.
At his death his estate is said to
be worth half million dollars.

Beware of Land Fakers.

The Sheaf has communication
from Elbert Bede of Cottage Grove,
Oregon, who some years ago was
publisher of this paper in which he
comments upon a fake real estate adj
vertisement which has appeared in a
number Of papers in this. section. A
party pretending that he is q. S.
surveyor and timberman advertises a
large tract of Oregon land thrown
open for settlement and for anyone
desiring information they have but to
send a sum of money, and a map
with information and instructions
will be forwarded. The ad. has APP
peared in a number Of papers but Mr..
Bede informs us that it is sheer fake,
that there is no such tract of land
open for settlement in Oregon, nor
are there any such tracts which could
be opened and furthermore the per-
son who has inserted the fake an
nouncement has disappeared.
We wish to extend a warning to
anyone who may have been attracted
by the advertisement for it is merely
a fake money making scheme.

Dreamland Theatre is going to en-
large his building SO that he will bet
ter be able to accommodate the large
attendance. Building operations will
commence soon to make an addition
to the north end Of the building Of
about 80 feet. Thus the seating
capacity will be increased by about
so seats. For several months the
attendance each evening has been SO
large that the building has been
found inadequate, but in the future
Manager Hanson expects to be able
better to care for the large crowds.
No other change will be made, and as

sented at the opera house. The con-
tract for the building has been given

MAN DROWNED IN RED RIVER

Last Monday a mans body was dis
covered near Oslo floating down the
Red River, which at closer investiga-
ton was found to be that of. Frank
Brock, q man OF so years Of age, who
for several years has been a resident
of that place. He was last seen in
Oslo on Friday, on that day he left
town for the. Mcdonald farm in that
vicinity, where he was supposed to
have work. He came to this place
but left there about 1920 the same
evening and was not seen about the
place after that. Evidently he made
his way to the river which is a mile
and a half from the farm and it is be-
leived that the deed was committed
in the morning. The presumption is
that the act was one Of suicide, and
that he was not in his right mind at
the time for it seems that he was
given to roaming. ainlessly about
Another presumption is that a gen
.c,.al disatisfaction with his condition
dislike Of work caused him to com
nit suicide. He was found by
Thompson, the bridge watchman
Monday evening. The coroner was
summoned Immediately and an in
quest was held.

new ART BUILDING
FOR FAIR GROUNDS
Two Buildings to go up Before Sept.
H.-Farmers' Clubs to Have
Exhibits.

At a meeting of the Fair Associa-
ton Monday it was decided to erect
general exhibit building at the fair
grounds, this building to be complet-
ed before the opening of the county
fair September H.
An appropriation of $500 by. the
county commissioners at their July
meeting, and the proceeds from the
race meet July 3rd and 4th make this
proposition possibility. Last week
committee of four, consisting of,
Aug. A. Johnson, R. B. Taralseth,
p. T. Frank and G. A. Nelson,
went to neighboring counties to gain
ideas on suitable and appropriate
buildings and they have now submit
ted their plans. The contemplated
building will be octagonal in shape,
each side to be 16 feet long. This
building will be located east of the
present arts building and building
operations will be commenced as soon
as contract bids have been let.
There will thus be two new build

building for rural school exhibits is a
sure thing and will soon be under con-
ctruction. There are about $3.50 in
the county superintendent Office to
be used for such a purpose.
Another important as well as novel
innovation will be introduced this
year, that of having Farmers Clubs
exhibits. s100 have been appropriate
ed for this purpose, three prizes of
fifty, thirty and twenty dollars res
pectively to be devoted to such ex-
hibits. This is new thing, but it
ought to prove very successful, for
there are some live organizations in
the country among the farmers.
The fair this year promises to be
one of the best in the history of the
county, many high class attractions
have been procured, about which q
more definite announcement will be
made later.

ty commissioners were struggling
with vexatious problems of equali-
cation Of assessments, their labors
We're cut short by the visit Of a dele
CATION Of about IS ladies from Vari-
Gus parts Of the county The pur-
pose Of this intrusion was to cause
the commissioners to take immediate
action on the proposition for coun-
ty sanatorium and to show that there
was a sentiment in favor of, it. The
commissioners room being too small
the meeting was held in the court
room. Mrs. Robinson introduced the
ladies to the commissioners and ex-
planned the purpose of their coming.
She urged them to take immediate
action for the people of the county
demand it at this time. Marshall
county was the first to take up the
war against tuberculosis, but no pro-
gress has been made, fer education
without isolation of open cases, does
not improve conditions a great deal.
When she had finished she introduced
Miss Victoria johnson of Nelson
Park who in a very effective talk
gave the opinions Of the people in
that part of the county. She spoke
in behalf Of the Nelson Park associa-
ton and made it known that the SEN
tiaaent out there is strongly in favor
of a sanatorium for Marshall county
alone Miss Rankin read some reso-
lutions signed by a number of ladies
from Stephen who being unable to be
present, made their sentiments
known in that way. DR.. Theo. Brat
rud gave history of the situation in
the county. The death rate in Mar
shall county would be very much low
er than the average We're there not
so many deaths from tuberculosis
There are so cases in this county that
are improperly cared for. Judge
IGrindeland told of the progress made
in the fight against tuberculosis II
| the state. it took some tisae before
the governs aant could be interested
but it has been learned by experience
that the sanatoriun is the enly effec.
tive method by which the disease car
be overcome and for this reason the
state is willing to aid the counties il

HOME IS REASON
FOR SUFFRAGE
MRS. POPPLER GIVES REASON
WHY STATES SHOULD HAVE
EQUAL SUFFRAGE-HOME is THE
BEST REASON 49, COOPERATION
FROM MEN WHO ARE READERS.

Not only in the United States but in
every constitutional country in the
world the movement for equal suffrage
is gathering strength. The right Of
suffrage is the fundamental principle
of a democracy, the right for which
men have fought and died, and as such
it has become ar issue with the intelli-
gent, alert women of our time. Wo-
men have ceased to exist as a sub
sidiary class, dependent On a ruling
class, economically, mentally, and spir-
itually. They look on life now. not
with the trusting eyes Of children, but
az reasoning adults. Just as any other
social group, they have group opinions
and group ideals for which they are
consistently working.
Back or every great movement are
great men, and this is also true of the
equal suffrage movement Women lead
ers nave gained courage and inspira-
ton from the active sympathy and CO.
operation of the men who are leaders
in the worlds progress. These are men
who have high and generous impulses
and a vision of real brotherhood. The
only reason we have not equal suffrage
now Is because the powers for good are
not so compactly organized and SO per-
sistent in their efforts as the opposi-
tion. The house cleaning power of the
women's vote is what the vice-mongers,
the retail liquor dealers. the brewers
associations, the gamblers, the Kings or
the under world, and the employers Of
child labor are SO vigorously lighting.
After a recent dry" victory in an
Illinois town where the "wets" had
reigned corruptly serene for more than
q half century until the women voted
them out this year., the president of the
retail liquor dealers league declared he
would challenge the constitutionality
of the women's vote. Well they have
done 1t and it will now be decided By
one or two judges. after the represen-
tatives of the people have threshed 1t
all out and mad 1t a law! And yet this
