GRACEVILLE EDITOR
BOWS TO new LAW
Subscription Contest Started
Three Weeks Ago Halted as
Promoter Saw Danger

Another newspaper publisher in this
section of Minnesota has decided to
stand for enforcement of the state
laws. This time it is H. L. Day of
the Graceville Enterprise. About three
weeks Editor Day started newspaper
subscription contest and advertised
the proposition extensively. His pro-
position looked good and Editor Day
intended to finish it absolutely ON the
square" giving prizes and premiums
and cash to every girl in the contest.
Then his attention was called to new
state law governing contests, and he
read the provisions. Although he had
gone to considerable expense in get
ing the contest started he decided he
didn't want any of the contestants
made liable TO prosecution. or to him
self appear in the light of law break
er, he decided to cancel all arrange
ments. This is what Editor Day said
about the matter in his last weeks is
sue of the Enterprise:
"Our attention having been called to
the fact that subscription contests,
such as this paper has been advertis-
ing, are unlawful and Secs. 1899 and
5000 of the Revised Laws of the State
of Minnesota apparently proving this
fact. we have decided to call the contest
off. as we do not wish to run counter
to the laws in any particular.
"Any person who has paid subscrip-
tion to this paper in greater amount
than usual, because of the contest,
may receive same by calling at this
Office if desired; otherwise amount will
be credited on his subscription. Un-
der these circumstances the price OF
The Enterprise will be raised to 81. sc
per year after January 1st, 1916. in
stead of at the time first advertised. .
The Enterprise is easily worth 81. sc
per year without a premium,

Kopitzke Gets High Yield

The best wheat yield reported so
far in Stevens county this season came
from the farm of John Kopitzke this
week where threshers finished their
job last Saturday night. From a
forty acre field Mr.. Kopitzke took
1900 bushels of fine Marquis wheat.
or 30 bushels per acre.
The rest of the grain did not run
quite SO strong. Most of the farm
was seeded to bearded wheat last
spring and the yield reported was
twenty seven and a4half bushels per
acre. The 40 acre tract of Marquis
was tried as an experiment. and will
be repeated next year on larger
scale.
H. j. Collie. one OF the most sue
cessfull threshermen here this season,
says he has run of about thirty five
days more near Morris and in the
northern part of the county. With
favorable weather he believes he will
finish about Nov. 10. Shock thresh.
ing has been delayed seriously the
past ten days because of wet weather.

at the women building. Artistic de-
signs and clever Workmanship charac-
terized every specimen shown and the
judges felt fairly bewildered when
they. tackled their task. A handsome
hand-stitched quilt headed the dis
play. Cakes and preserves along with
bread, pickles and honey attracted the
attention of visitors aud furnished
much to talk about and compare.
Never before had so many varieties
and such fine poultry been shown as
this year. The new show coops were
in use for the first time and every coop

persons came there for refreshment
and rest.
In point of attendance Saturday
beat the first day by small margin.
1895 people passed the gates on Fri
day and on Saturday the number in
creased to 1872. The crowds were
handled easily and not single arrest
was made during the fair. Downtown

but all manners of graft were sup
pressed. A merry go-round did good
business all through the fair.
Hotels and livery barns were taxed
to the limit but every visitor was ac-
commodated with the usual excellent
service without extra charge.

TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE GARY

Judge Martin, as a young lawyer and

himself fortunate in gaining an intro

tried the anarchists. The Judge took
a shine to the young chap and pro-
posed a game Of billiards, wherein
Martin made a technical error that
he remembered for long. Gary played
an old mans game, and Martin then.
as now, was particularly handy with
a cue.
Picture a contest of "a points with
four balls on a four and one-half by
nine table. The Judge (barely bend
ing), with a childish bridge and a
nerveless stroke, missed his first shot.
Martin, in shirtsleeves, crouched over
the table like a jockey plotting a win.

twenty when he turned and saw the
judge disappearing through the door
and moving with rufled dignity.
