DREAMLAND,
1.-THE Spendthrjft."

"The Spendthrift," the feature book
Ing at Dreamland for Thursday of this
week, hammers home a lesson thru
every inch of the six reels of the pic
ture. Irene Fenwick in the leading
role, handles the part as only an &C.
complished artist can. Mrs. Gretchen
JAMS has reared her two nieces to
economic not only in clothes and
money, but also in thought and emo
ton. Mrs. Jams was the mistress of
millions, yet the girls were taught to
be saving.
Richard Ward fell in love with Fran
ces, and the parental blessing was re-
fused. The young couple then eloped.
Then the trouble began. A liberal al
lowance wasn't enough for Frances.
Richard was unable to keep pace with
the bills payable. Credit weakened
and poverty stared the couple in the
face. Then came the second man
! with his offer of money, followed by
tragedy. The lesson taught by this
picture is lasting one.

Of public safety"
In silence the little company made
their way to the Courier office. The
policeman slipped away. and the three
friends sat in silence for few mo-
ments. I'VE now have the information
we desired. We are witnesses OF the
actual conditions fostered by Bud Nc
Crea's policy" 1t was Reginald Mel
son who spoke. Allan Rutledge arous-
ed himself. Bronson shall be clean!
he exclaimed almost tiercely. Let us
think over what We have seen and
heard for few days. and then we
can formulate plan Of campaign"
The report of the strange tour Of the
self appointed investigators spread
CONSERVATION among the gang" who
were in charge Of the city administra-
ton Of Bronson. Both the resort keep.
ers and the habitues Of the dives
brought the news the next day to Bud
McCrea. He hurriedly called on the
mayor for an explanation.
II hear you detailed policeman last
night to accompany those preachers
and that fool reporter on stunning
trip" said McCrea angrily.
The mayor looked surprised and re-
torted quickly, whats that?"
did you not detail an officer to &C.
company party last night who were
sneaking around town." McCrea was
plainly excited as he asked this ques-
ton.
II know nothing about It," said the
mayor. Tell me what has happened?"
Bud McCrea then told Of the mid
night tour of DR.. Rutledge, Mr.. Town
ley and Reginald Nelson, and of the
presence Of policeman with them.
1.-THE man surely had star on his
coat. He must have been fake po-
liceman. If that is so we will get even
with that crowd of Billy Sunday
dreamers If they try to make any
trouble"
The chief Of police also denied any
knowledge Of an officer acting as guide
in Bronson's underworld, and the az
fair was good deal Of mystery.

Dr.. Oppeqaard to Leave.

DR.. M. o. Oppegaard has decided to
move from New London and locate at
Minneapolis. He will leave New Lon
don about the first of next month, 60
ing from here to New York and Bos-
ton where for two months he will take
special work along surgical lines, and
by the first of the year will be located
for practice in the business district of
Minneapolis. The decision Of the doc
tor to remove from New London is a
matter of sincere regret to his many
friends here. During his five year
residence here he has met with re-
markable success in the practice of his
profession, and has been one of the
strongest factors in the advancement
of the village and the community.
Considering his ability, however, it
should not be a surprise that he has
decided to locate in a larger place. We
regret his departure, but wish him I'm.
bounded success and prosperity in his
wider field of work.-New London

KILLED BY TRAIN
Charles johnson Struck bv Great
Northern Engine and Instantly
Killed.

Northern Engine and Instantly
Killed.
Charles Johnson, a transient Swede
was Killed by the north bound passen-
ger engine Thursday afternoon of last
week about one mile north of Clara
City. The engine struck him on the
back of the head and the unfortunate
man must have been killed instantly.
Johnson had been working for Mr..
Kleene in Crate through harvest and
proved himself good workman,
About week previous to his death he
came to town with his partner, Ed.
Olson who also worked around here.
and then proceeded to spend their
money for booze, while they slept
nights in the attic of the Ideal Bar
bershop. When they left Clara City
Johnson appeared to be a sick man
for when he was out about mile he
informed his partner that he wanted
water and sat down on the side of the
track while Olson ran to Mr.. Tebben's
place to get aid and water. While he
was gone the north bound passenger
train came along and Johnson sitting
in dazed condition never heard it.
One of Mr.. Niemeyer's boys saw the
dangerous position of Johnson and ran
to give warning but came too late.
It seems strange that the engineer
could not have stopped the engine in
time before it struck the man as the
train at this point usually does not go
very fast due to the long up grade
from Clara City. The train never
stopped until it reached Raymond
when the south bound passenger train
crew were notified and they stopped
when it reached the body and brought
it to Clara City.
A post norton examination by dep
uty coroner Foshager showed one of
the lungs congested and the man must
have been sick with the pleurisy when
his death occurred.
Johnson was man of about forty
years of age.-Clara City Herald.

DRAINAGE PROBLEMS OF
WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA

Drainage Committee Gathering Data
For Report to be Made at
OrtonviIIe.
The Drainage Committee of the
West Central Minnesota Development
Association, thru Mr.. Higbie of Nor
ris, addressed a few inquiries to the
editor, which after consultation with
local men conversant with conditions
we answered as follows.
/. @. What percentage of crops
seeded we're destroyed in 1915 that
would have been saved if your county
had been properly ditched and under
drained? A. About per cent.
2. Q. What percentage of acreage
| would be added to the present crop
land if properly drained? A. One
sixth.
3. @. What do, you consider the
main problems involved in promoting
drainage work in West Central Min
nesota? A. Providing adequate main
drains in fiat country.
The following comments were added
by the editor:
The drainage problems of our coun-
ty are most difficult in southern half
| where adequate outlets are lacking.
southwest of Willmar the situation is
| the same as in southern Swift and
northern Chippewa, ie., the cost of
making an adequate main drain is pro-
hibitive for any one community. There
is great fall nearer the Minnesota
river, but it must be carried back thir-
ty or forty miles along the course OF
Hawk Creek, in order to provide ade-
quate outlet for thing from Willmar
to the southwest. Thru a large sec.
ton such a drain will make the coun.
try, which is now largely undeveloped.
Here is a project that is worthy of the
best efforts of the w. c. M. D. Assn,
and would enlist the hearty support
of at least three townships in our
county.

On August oath the bids for the con.
struction and finish of the buildings
which will comprise the tuberculosis
sanitarium at Granite Falls were let
There will be three buildings on the
grounds. Beside the main building
and power house, there will be build
ing for the nurses. The main build
ing will be two stories in height, and
will have full basement. There will
be room for "A beds, in addition to
quarters for the medical staff. It is
planned to have the building ready for
occupancy by June list of next year..
The last of a series of post office
robberies was the one at Candy last
Tuesday night. The robbers, who
seemed to be experienced in their pro.
fession entered the building by cut
ting the panels of a hardware store
next door. The safe was wrecked and
about $50 worth of stamps taken
Postal savings duplicate certificates
and a number of blank money orders
were also taken. The robbers made
their getaway in an auto.
Burglars were well repaid for their
trouble in breaking into the G. N
station at Appleton last Wednesday
night. They got two quarts of wills
key, which was an express shipment
and $3.50 taken from the telephone
pay station booth.
Rev. Chr. Peterson, pastor of the
Synod church, met with quite a ser
ious accident while on his way to at
tend a meeting of the Ladies' Society
of the Swenoda church. He was driv
ing his car and while passing the old
Horton farm, five miles south of town
a dead cottonwood tree blew over and
struck Mr.. Peterson in the face. Mrs
A. G. Arness and her daughter, who
were in the back seat of the car, were
not touched by the tree. They at once
summoned assistance. r. G.. Hanson
whose farm is close by, came in a
few minutes. They put Mr.. Peterson
in the back seat and Mr.. Hanson got
in the car, which was not damaged
and brought Mr.. Peterson to his home
DR.. Scofeld, who was called, upon ex
animation found that his nose had
been broken, and that he was severe
ly bruised about the face. We hope
that he will soon recover from his
painful injuries and that his health
will be in no way impaired.-Swift Co.
