FRUIT GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
A Meeting Will Be Held Mar. 13 al
Court House to Organize a
Market Association,

An attempt will be made to or gan
ize fruit growers marketing associa-
ton among the fruit growers of Kan
diyohi county who have surplus fruit
to sell. The County Horticultural So
ciety is taking the lead in the matter
and has arranged for a meeting at
the court house on Saturday, Mar. 13,
at 10 o'clock a. m. All fruit growers
regardless of whether members of the
Horticultural Society or not, are urg-
emily asked to attend. A man from
the Extension Division OF the Univer-
sity will be present to help discuss the
matter. Much good fruit goes to
waste each year in this county be-
cause Of lack of market. BY united
action it is believed that a market
can be found which will pay the grow
ers. It will be necessary for a suf1i.
cient number to join to ship in car
lots.
This is a matter well worth while,
and all who grow surplus fruit should
make it point to attend.

At nine o'clock Tuesday morning
Emmet DeFoe went up the windmill
on his mothers place to make some
repair on the mill. He stepped on q
defective plank and fell to the ground
twenty feet below. His head struck
a plank lying on the ground and the
top Of his skull was so seriously hac-

to do him any good by attempting an
operation. He remained in q semi
conscious state until $3.50 o'clock p.
M, when he passed away. He was
unable to speak before his death, but
seemed to be conscious of what was
going on about him. The mother was
alone 1T home with him at the time
of the accident, but secured imme-
date help from the neighbors. The
wife was at the home Of her parents
at the time.
The deceased was married six
weeks ago today to Miss Rose Mar

PART IN FIGHT
kand|yohl County In Lead for
County Option Shall
We Vote Now?l

The fight for county option is won.
Kandiyohi county has been a leader
in this fight from the first. Two de-
cades ago the delegation from this
county was instrumental in having it
inserted in the Peoples Party State
Platform. In those days it was look.
ed upon almost as an idle dream, and
practical politicians fought shy of it.
With the big annual fight on at Will
mar for dry town the necessity for
county option was felt very strongly.
At the big county option convention
at st. Paul some years ago this coun-
ty had delegation of more than one
hundred fifty delegates in attendance
with pennants and banners, which at.
tracted much attention. Finally the
issue was won in Willmar by repeated
dry victories. Willmar's successful
experience with the dry policy and
it's enforcement was a potent factor
in extending the policy to neighbor.
ing towns and cities, and it is safe to
say had given this city more favorable
advertising throughout the country
than anything else.
Last year the Village Of Raymond
voted no-license, making Kandiyohi
county entirely dry as far as licensed
saloons are concerned. In any of it's
incorporated towns, however, the IS
sue can be submitted at any spring
election by a petition being filed
Fortunately, saloon petitions have
become very unpopular, and no one
who values the good opinion of the
community cares to appear on one
The village Of Raymond, however, will
vote on the issue next Tuesday
Should it go wet, the action will no
option petition calling for a special
election to make the entire county
dry.
Personally, the editor believes it
would be we'll worth while to have a
county option vote in Kandiyohi
county at the earliest possible mo-
ment and have the question disposed
of locally for all time to come Not
only would it put a quietus on any at
tempts to submit the question in any
of our towns, but all question Of the
right to distribute by wholesale in
any part Of the county would be set
tied, for good. Then the moral effect
having Kandiyohi officially declared
dry as a whole would be benefit tC
the cause generally. The general coun
ty expense for such an election, Coun
ty Auditor Nelson estimates would
come to about 5000, and local expense
divided up among the thirty precincts
probably would run about from $3.50
to $3.50. This would be money wei
spent, we believe. The law requires
petition with twenty-five per cent o1
the voters Of the county to submit
the question. This would mean thai
nearly thousand signers would be
required to submit the question
What do our readers think? Let u:
hear from different parts Of the coun
ty. Who will volunteer to circulate
petitions in the different precincts.
