monial counter, throttle any ambition
that, you might to enlist in the great
army of the postof1ce. For Uncle
Sam has decreed that no place shall
be found among letter tossers for grass
widows. They may be all right in
their places, but the niece with mari
tai understanding must break OF

postofice bureau.
Some time since. married women,
who we're anxious to multiply the
family savings by working IN the post
Office we're told that they would have
to center their talents elsewhere Now
comes the ban against those who have
sundered diplomatic relations with the
one she once promised to love, honor
and obey. Not only to be too unclubby
with his relatives Uncle Sam has de-
cided TO leave the loop hole for the
near-widow by placing her on the
eligible list once she obtains a divorce.
But as long as she is officially marrief
and unomcially free she is barred
from the home of the letter jugglers.
This Information was garnered to-
day in the announcement OF competi-

INTEREST IN ROAD MENDING
 BEES RAPIDLY BANNING
Men at Head of Enterprise Have Selected Good Speakers to Tell About it At the Festival to be Held New Years Day.

Warren McArthur who is heading the committee in charge of the road building on New Years day. is rap idly maturing his plans for one great big day and then some.
 Arrangements have been made for a brilliant list of speakers of whom Lin E. Orme, " A. MOuer, Dwight B. Heard, R. Kuchler. J. Montgomery and II. II. Gross are the principals. It is planned to knock off work at high noon, and then repair to the barbecue, stdrtinC that repast at r: 30. At 1:30, it is calculated that all the hungry ones will have been filled up. is not expected that any long Winded oTations will be indulged in, but that the speakers will confine themselves to short snapov dieressions on the subject of road building or other sim liar topics.
 Those who are to take part in the festival of dirt slinging, are requested to be at the chamber of commerce at S3o in the morning. The machines assembled there will form in line and parade through the city out to the park where the work will be done.
 In order to stimulate interest and get all those in line who have SO far failed to signify their intentions of being present AIr. McArthur has sent out a letter to the majority of the business and farmers organi"a- tioEs. which says in part:
 We want every section of the val ley to take part in the occasion and we are sure we all can get together on this date and be mutually helpful The good roads committee has ar ranged to do some actual road work on the roads in the Cactus National Park which lies between Phoenix and Tempe north of the state highway.
 A splendid response to appeals for cooperation has been received from all who have been interviewed on the matter. The committee is able to provide without cost a splendid barbecue for the good roads workers. and there have been many donations which will help us to do lot of ef- fective work on the road.
 We would like to have you write us with your views. and with any suggestions you may have to offer on the matter We hope that you will also let us know if you will he able to attend the celebration on Jan nary l. and about how many mem bers of your organization can attend with you"

 Secretary If State SidueE Osborn yesterday stated that there had been a number of persons who had made inquiries s5 to why their number plates had not been delivered to them from the postofficcs at the same time that the letters containing the ccr- tificates and small license discs had been handed out. AI~ Osborn called attention to the ftct that tho cuvcI- opes containing the large number plates are mailed at the same time as the certificates. the former being sent by parcel post and the latter by first-cllss mail Ks the parcel post mail is usually somewhat slower than the first-class matter, fl is not strange that the tags may somctiwci be little slow
 When sent by rarcel post. the tags cost five or six cents to mail II sent by firSt-class mail. tho post.-e on each would amount to thirty-iwo cents apiece and on ten thousand of the tags (that being the number which will probably be mailed ouD the bill for postage would be some thing like $3.200 but tho economical AIr Osborn has saved the state the neat sum of GOO, by using the par eel post and cutting tho postage ac- count down to about $500.

Work on remodeling of the Mime

ment constructed, new modern

becoming rapidly settled and land
men predict a bright future for home
seekers who are buying farms tribu-
tary to it.

IS GIVEN NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Holds Titus Case
Should Not Have Been Dismissed.

That Judge G. w. Stanton of Be-
midi erred in dismissing the action
of Orville Titus versus the Crookston
Lumber company at the close of the
plaintiffs case when it was tried at
the February term of district court
in 1914, is the ruling of the state SUI
preme court in a decision filed to-
day. Titus claimed he was injured
when he fell from a load of logs on
which he was working at the dock
of Plant No. 1, being in the employ
of the lumber company. He at once
brought suit for $1,000 for personal
injuries, Carl Hebron of this city be-
ing his attorney. Powell & Simpson
of Minneapolis and e. e. Mcdonald
Of Bemidji represented the company.
The case was dismissed on the ground
of contributory negligence. AS re-
suit of the ruling the case will be
tried at the next term of court here.

SAYS LlTTLEF0RK IS WET
State Supreme Court in Decision Filed
Today Rules That Village May
Have Saloons---Town Voted Dry
VICTORY IS BUT TEMPORARY

Even though the Town of Jameson,
in Koochiching county, voted "dry''
at an election held on March 9 of
this year, the saloons Of Littlefork,
village confined within it's limits,
must not close, according to a de-
cision of the state supreme court filed
at St. Paul this morning, thus end
ing controversy which has attracted
statewide attention.
The ruling of the high tribunal re-
verses the decision of Judge Stanton,
of the Fifteenth judicial district,
made several weeks ago when he
ruled that even though the village
voted wet" at the same election in
which the town voted dry" the sa-
looms must close. Littlefork votes
in all township elections.
On April 16 the village council
granted liquor license to L. J. La
londe. On May third Lalonde was
arrested for selling liquor without
legal authority. He applied to the
court for writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that he was illegally re-
strained Of his liberty. The writ
was granted and the matter came be,
fore Judge Stanton May 10 for de-
termination, Judge M. A. Spooner ap-
pearing for Lalonde and Franz
Jevne, Koochiching county attorney,
appearing for the state.
Judge Stanton ruled that the vii
lage should be dry" and the appeal
followed.
Koochiching county is to vote on
county option August and as the
temperance advocates are practically
assured of victory it appears that the
ruling of the supreme court will af-
ford but trivial advantage to Little
fork saloon men.
