County Options Sweep.

AS county option elections steadily
increase the "dry" territory of Min
nesota it becomes more and more ap-
parent that state prohibition will be
one Of the important propositions to
be brought up at the next legislative
session, and what is more, it will in
all probability pass as the people, a
vast majority, by their ballots, are
making known their desire that the
saloon be abolished.
To date twenty-six counties have
been made "dry' by option elections,
a total of two hundred and thirty
eight saloons being closed as a re-
suit. In Polk county So saloons will
close, in Clay 81 and Todd %, these
being the counties in which liquor
establishments are hit hardest. Of
tertail and Dodge counties have lost
but one bar each.
Following is given the number of
saloons closed in counties carried by
option, with the exception of those
given above: Lyon 4; Kanabec 2;
Chisago g.. Isanti 3; Lac Qui Parle
4; Swift 2; Roseau 8; Yellow Medi-
cine 2; Carlton 10; Mobiles 10; Doug
las g.; Rock 8; Fillmore g.; Lincoln
4; Murray 5; Watonwan 6; Renville
IA; Kandiyohi, none; Redwood -;
Traverse 7; Pipestone 7.
The results of Mondays elections
will GUST seventy-three saloons, as
follows:
Watonwan County-Six saloons at
st. James and Darfur; Todd county
Twenty-Five saloons at Staples, Long
Prairie, Browerville, Bertha, Gray
Eagle and Burnhamville; Renyille
county-fourteen saloons at Olivia,
Bird Island, Buffalo Lake and Fair

looms at. Seaforth, Sanborn, North

looms. -.

doubt and the, official count. will be
required to make it, certain. Red
wood is also close, with a "dry"
margin Of only 80. . ". y~
Mankato and Rochester saved their
saloons by unexpected large ma
jorities, for the '*'wets," which over
came tdry'' leads in the remaining
districts of Blue Earth and Olmsted
counties. Mankato gave the "wets'
524 margin, of which more than 800
was in one ward, while the county
outside was nearly 200 "wet.''
Kandiyohi county went 'dry'' al
most three to one, and is the, banner
dry county Of the state, so / far,
both as to proportionate dry vote and
as to, majority, which was over L.
400. Yet the vote was 500 lighter
than last fall.

"Diversification" of crops is one
of the scientific farming tenets be-
ing pounded home by the Department
of Agriculture. It is getting results
but some of the results of the cam
paign are amusing as we'll as graft
flying. An expert of the department
received word from a southern farm
er that he was "diversifying" by
quitting sugar planting and using
all his land to raise tomatoes.
The departments plan is to foster
production of home gardens, encour-
age thrift by teaching people to can
fruit and vegetables for home use
to have farmers grow their own hay,
peas, corn, potatoes, oats and some
cane or surghum for syrup, and to
produce their own meat supply if
possible. In the south the depart
ment's experts are particularly driv-
ing in the idea that there is almost
always some waste land which could
be profitably used to raise livestock
for the family meat supply at least.

GOLF|Ae TRAGEDY IS
ENACTED At DETROIT
Max Marston Makes Play That Causes
Much Surprise Among
Large Gallery.
By JOHN G. ANDERsON.

Detroit, Mich. Sept. IA golfns
tragedy was enacted today on the
eighteenth green of the Detroit Coun-
try Club. 1t was a tragedy from the
standpoint OF the East, but 1t vas
quite the opposite from the Western
ers' point OF view. Bob Gardner had
been three down TO Max Marston. with
but five holes to play; he had reduced
this lead, by excellent golf. TO one
down. with two holes to play. and then
at the seventeenth, after playing a
grand shot out OF the rough IL, the
green and laying the putt up to with
in few inches of the hole, had seen
Max do likewise. Then Gardner drove
a fine ball to the eighteenth a mid
iron shot. and came to rest twenty
feet away from the pin, Marsten
played another beauty. which left him
only foot or two further away. He
played up his putt to within two and
half feet of the hole, leaving Gard
ner with a half-stymie.
He later putted and missed. Then
IL was up to the Baltusrol player to
take a few moments of deliberation
10 make sure OF getting down and
winning the match and a place In the
finals. But. to the surprise of most
OF the spectators present Max hit the
ball with no hesitation. as il he want
ed the matter over as quickly as pos
sihie. and the ball rolled to one side.
leaving n clear field for Gardner to
hole for a three and gain the chance
of an extra hole and ultimate victory.
| asked Mr.. Marston when he came
in why he had played so quickly. and
he said that il was because of the
curling slope which il was necessary
TO get over before the short putt
reached the hole. He believed that
there was as much chance OF running
1t down by just going up and hitting
the ball as spending time to study
the putt.
1t was a strenuous day for all con-
cerned, particularly the pair just men
toned. They were followed by ire
mendous gallery and forced to play
under pressure all the time. while
Sherman and myself. with only a
small body of the faithful. trotted
along and had good time. despite
the trials and fluctuations Of missed
short puts.
Marston started OF in the morning
az IL he were going to make short
shift of the whole business and was
three up at the seventh hole, and then
ne lost four of the next six, and when
they started to play the last hole was
still one down
Gardner drove into the trap at the
left green and lost the hole and then
sat down to lunch with no change
from their morning first tee start.

JAMES CANTER WILL
4 GET ANOTHER TRIAL

Bristol. Va, Sept 3.-The action of
the Virginia Supreme Court In grant
ing James Canter the advantage Of a
writ of error is not looked upon as a
surprise. Canter. who Is nineteen years
old, Is under sentence to follow his
brother, Luther to the electric chair
for the horrible assault and murder
Of Mrs Maude Wilson found dead in
her home near Bristol April "a last.
Luther Canter, the older brother con-
fessed his guilt, but exonerated James.
Luther maintained his statement to the
last that James had no part in the
crime. II Is practically settled that
James will be given new trial. al
though the court is yet to inquire into
the records before it's final order is
entered.

play was sent out on the road to meet
