Mrs. John Buckley called on friends
at Morris Monday.
Mrs. George Gsnnow and son re.
turned last Friday from Starbuck
where she spent the past month re-
ceiving medical treatment She feels
much improved.
The warm weather of the past week
has created stir in base ball circles.
1t has likewise brought the organiza.
tion of three man team with the viii
Iage mayor as captain. The first
practice game was held Monday when
the street was used as diamond and
the catcher caught the ball in large
wooden pail since the necessary base
ball outfit hasn't been secured yet.
The bats were six feet long and six
inches wide. and the street was hard
ly wide enough for the herculean
swings of the batrers.

Has Unique Distinction
Hustling Stevens County Village
Has One Saloon but No
Marshal and No Church

Alberta is the only village in Ste
vens county and probably the only WILL
age of its size in the state which has
no marshal. The town has one saloon
but there is no work for a marshal be-
cause DRINKS are not permitted and
the people in and out of the town are
law abiding citizens. For several
years Alberta has not had a single
case in the district court at Morris
and the local justice finds no grist
coming to his mill. Years ago a
lock up was built but today there is
no lock or key and the building is
a monument of idleness. Strange
enough, the village is without church
although many of the citizens claim
membership of some religious organ
ization. Services are frequently hello
at the school house but there is ne
regular day. hour or place of worship.
Alberta intends to grow and some day
the village hopes to be metropolitan
enough to support marshal, Jail, E
church and the other civilizing infu
ences, and perhaps, get rid of it:
saloon.

Hundreds of Farmers and Their
Families Guests of CONNER
cial Club Saturday

The second free entertainment given
Alberta farmers by the business men
this year was held last Saturday after
noon when it is estimated three hum
dred persons responded to the invita-
tions. The entertainment was held
at the Star theatre where every inch
of available space was taken. Like
the first number, this one was grand
success.
Prof. Selke, of Chokio. was the
principal speaker of the day. The
program consisted of vocal and instru-
mental music, readings, pantomimes
and motion pictures, The song by the
girls glee club was one of the de-
!ightful numbers and the piano duet
by the Misses Danielson and Glessner
as we'll as the selection by Mr.. P. E.
Schlattman was received with pro-
longed applause and the numbers re-
sponded to encores. Miss Grace Hall
gave a reading and Miss Hazel Gull
GRANDSON delighted the audience with
a pantomime. The motion pictures
were interesting and instructive and
were sufficiently varied to suit every
body.
Farmers around Alberta are held in
high esteem by the village folk and
the entertainments only emphasize the
existing friendly feeling. The COM
mittee in charge of the entertainments
are being highly complimented on
their efforts and have every assurance
that town and country is being brought
closer together.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

Nobody will wish to make political
capital out of the repulsive last
scenes in the tragedy of Leo Frank.
But it surely is germane and proper
to point out that it was in the sover-
eign state of Georgia that this bar
barous overwhelming of law and or
der took place. The state of Georgia,
though unable to maintain it's own
authority, as ordained by it's courts
and by it's executive, attempts, with
large success, to impress its will up
on the nation. In congress Georgia
has two Senators and twelve Repre-
sentatives-a all Democrats. Senator
Hoke Smith is chairman of the com
mittee on education and labor and
member of six other committees,
among them the important committee
on finance (Which deals with the tar
iff). judiciary, and post offices and
post roads. His colleague, Senator
Thomas W. Hardwick, is new man
in the Senate, yet he is chairman OF
one committee Chat on expenditures
in the post office Department. and
member of five others. including
those dealing with immigration, post
offices and post roads, public build
ings and grounds. OF the twelve Con
gressmen from Georgia, two hold the
important chairmanships on interstate
and foreign commerce and on educa-
ton; while the other ten serve on
the committees on rivers and harbors,
public buildings, revision of the laws,
elections, military affairs, coinage,
naval affairs, agriculture, appropria-
tions, post Offices, foreign affairs. and
pensions. Thus it will be seen that
Georgia, which cannot govern itself,
plays big part in the governing OF
the rest of the country.
