l1ocAL MEN RETURN FROM EAST.

LOCAL MEN RETURN FROM EAST
Chas. Sylvester, louis McNairy and
Frank Cannon returned Friday eve
ming from a trip to the east, the main
purpose Of which was to see some Of
the games in the world series. Among
the cities they visited were Cleveland
and Akron, Ohio, Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston.
Mr.. Sylvester witnessed three Of
! the games in the world series and Nc.
Marry and Cannon saw two. All three
saw the 12-inning game between Phil
adelphia and Boston, in which Leslie
Bush Of Brainerd pitched for the Ath-
letics. His tactics on the field were
much the same in the big league game
as when he played with Brainerd, they
said.
The most interesting part Of the trim
was visit to the national capitol and
the navy yards. They were shown
about in Washington by Congressman
G. A. Lindbergh Of this city, and were
introduced to President Wilson.
Mr.. Sylvester carried a camera
wherever he went and took pictures of
things of interest. While viewing the
navy yards he naturally snapped q tcw
pictures, but this did not continue
long, for an officer stopped him and
took the camera. It was taken to an
office where the film was removed and
the camera was then returned to Syl-
vester. The officer stated that the
films would be examined and returned
to him later. Great care is exercised
by the government to prevent stran-
gers from taking pictures in the yards.
The party from this city were told
that Jap was arrested short tire
before for taking pictures of the chem
istry rooms.
The local men are not a bit sorry
that they made the trip, but rather
are highly pleased to think that they
could enjoy themselves so immensely
in SO short a space Of time, being gone
but two weeks. They are now kept
busy telling stories about their trip to
friends.

.BRAINERD HIGH Il SHUT OUT
local HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
TEAM TOO MUCH FOR THEM
SCORE 10 TO %

The local hi gh school football team
made another important advance to-
ward the Northern Minnesota cham
pionship Saturday when they defeated
the Brainerd high school eleven by a
score Of 10 to 0. The locals feel quite
certain as to the outcome of games
with other teams and their confidence
has been greatly increased by the de-
feat of Brainerd, as teams from that
school have been top-notchers for some
time.
From start to finish the game was
one Of interest, although the score was
one-siaed. The up.river boys out
weighed the locals but did not have the
speed. Meyers, Elvig and Brannen
each made touchdown for Little Falls
and Longley kicked a goal. The wealth
er was far from favorable for football
and both teams felt the effects.
Following was the lineup Of the
teams:

eral weeks. In a rescript filed with
the Clerk OF the Federal Court to-
day United States Judge Edgar Aid

on the matter of bail until the final
hearing on the questions involved
in the eXtradition and habeas corpus

An extension of twenty days in

WOMAN GAVE OUT THE
NAMES OF The OWNERS
OF Daviess County Diamonds
Which, II Appears, Es.
capped Taxation.

The Owensboro Messenger of Fri
day says:
CONSERVATION among diamond
owners will likely arise over the in
formation that the Board of Super
visors for the tax books of the Da-
viess County Assessor, have listed
for taxation all diamonds about
which they were given information.
The names of 1913 people in Ovens
boro and Daviess county have been
furnished the Board of Supervisors
who, 1t is asserted. are the owners
of the brilliant gems, and who have
not assessed them for taxation. The
jewels alleged to be owned by the
1903 persons are valued at S42,7OO.
A tentative valuation has been plac-
ed on all of them by the Board.
The manner of obtaining the in
formation was unusual. While pre-
pairing to return from a ball game
last summer County Assessor Tan
ner was invited to ride in the motor
car of a man and his wife to the
city. En- route to town the woman
asked the Assessor why 1t was that
she was required to pay taxes on
her diamonds, when so many of her
friends did not do so. Assessor
Tanner informed her that when ask
ed, the owners of the stones denied
their possession and therefore he
could not assess them. She, then
volun ..aered to obtain the names OF
persons who possessed diamonds
and give them to him. The result
of her Investigations was handed to
the Assessor and by him to the
Board of Supervisors on Thursday
The name of the woman was not di-
vulged by the Assessor.
There were several other names
on the list given in by the woman
sleuth but upon revising the lists II
was found that they had listed theii
diamonds for taxation.

MONUMENTS ERECTED
TO LOVELY POTATOES
Drake and Raleigh Receive Hon.
ors Which They Do
Not Deserve.

There are monuments to human
beings, to animals, and, in one case
known to the writer, to a lifeboat,
but 1t has been reserved to Germany
to rear monuments to the potato.
At Gutenberg. Germany, a private
donor has erected really beautiful
monument in honor of the potato.
The upper part is a statue of Sir
Francis Drake, who is alleged to
have introduced the plant into Eu-
rope. This, and the pedestal also, is
draped with garlands of the potato
plant. with full-grown tubers. On
one side of the pedestal is brakes
name; on another side is an inscrip-
ton in praise of the potato; on an
other the name of the donor is
given.
Nor is this the only German town
having a monument to the glorifica-
ton of the potato. The town of
Murz has a similar statue to Drake
and the potato. and in several
small towns of the empire there are
similar monuments.
The funny thing about these stat
ues to Drake in association with the
introduction of the potato is that
Drake had no more to do with the
matter than you have. According
I i.c hn fpt Nf
| the potato was Sir Walter Raleigh.
Raleigh heard of such a plant from
his people whom he had sent out to
COLOMBO America, and he had some
sent to him in Ireland, where he is
alleged to have caused them to be
planted. Such, at least. is the gen
orally accepted version of the intro
duction of the potato, although we
known that Raleigh had as little to
do with the matter as Drake, for
Raleigh found the potato already
growing in Ireland, where it had
been introduced by the Spaniards
before his time.
=. But whether Raleigh or the Span
iards are the introducers of the po-
tato we now stand little chance Of
knowing; of one thing, however, We
do know, and that is that Drake hat
nothing to do with it. Yet German!
has erected statues to Drake anC
the potato-ITid Bits.
