LONG PRAIRIE
(From the Leader)

While having friendly wrestle
with julius Hanson in the store room
at Harris store late Tuesday after
noon, Fred Rooster had the misfor-
tune to fall over a sack of sugar and
fracture his right leg. Mr.. Rooster
was removed to his home and the in
jured member set but he will be laid
up in bed for many weeks.
At meeting of the county commit
tee in the village last Monday noon,
preliminary arrangements for the
county option election for Todd coun-
ty were completed. The committee
organized by electing H. E. Hart,
Long Prairie, president and Rudolph
Lee, secretary. The committee will
have active charge of the campaign
and a precinct organization will be
completed in the near future.
The Scow-Gutches contest case is
not ended yet. A petition of Mr..
Clutches. Since the first argument of
was granted by the Supreme court
on Tuesday and the date for the new
argument was set for Tuesday, April
6. The grounds for the petition were
that the full court did not sit in the
original hearing and if all members
had been present, the tie decision
would not have resulted. 1t will be
remembered that through the death
of Mr.. Justice Brown, the number of
judges was reduced to four and that
after the arguments the court divided,
two for Mr.. Scow and two for Mr..
Clutches. Since the first arbument of
the case Gov. Hammond has appoint
ed Albert Schaller to the vacancy and
thus with the full court sitting in the
case, no tie can result. Mr.. Schaller
will have the deciding vote in case the
other judges maintain their original
positions. The result of a verdict in
favor of Mr.. Scow will be to leave the
Clerk of Court office as it now is. If
Mr.. Clutches wins, the effect will be a
new election whereby the people will
again pass on the matter.

ALEXANDRIA
(From the Post-NeWs)


Last Thursday night while separ-
ating the milk on the farm of Leslie
Pennie in Orange, the oldest son,
Ronald Pennie, reached up and took
hold of tthe line shaft on the gasoline
engine. His mitten caught, carrying
him around several times with his
feet striking the rolf of the building
and his arm was broken between the
elbow and wrist before the engine
could be stopped. He was otherwise
uninjured.
The county agent question was vot
ed on at the spring elections in Pope
county with the result that the better
farming movement lost by about 2
to l. While it is expected the county
commissioners will abide by the vote,
the county agent will be retained by
some other means. The greatest OBJ
lection to the movement has been the
high taxes. 1t now appears that the
cost per farmer would amount to less
than IT of one mill on the assessed
valuation. This takes the "kick" out
of the argument of high taxes, says
a dispatch to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
The formal presentation of the
Strang trophy cups to the two senior
basket ball teams was made in the
high school assembly room last Fri
day afternoon the event being the
closing of the winter term of school.
These handsome silver cups were Of
fered by DR.. Strang to the winner in
basket ball tournament between the
senior and junior classes, one for each
of the boys and girls teams. The
purpose is to foster clean honest class
rivalry in athletics. This, with Sup
erintendent Jockeys plans of making
inter-games the chief aim of basket
ball produced the desired result. Some
eighty high school students were out
for practice duri"g the basket ball

OSAKIS

About fifty fans and business men
of the village met at the Empress
theatre last Friday evening to make
arrangements for putting a ball team
in the field this season. The meeting
was called to order by DR.. L. M.
ThorDurn. Gary Lee, secretary and
treasurer of the 1914 team, read his
annual report, which showed that the
club had collected and expended $685.
rs. Out of this collection a debt of
$40 was paid for the 1918 organiza
ton. The club will start the new
season with a balance of SIP in red
ink. E. H. Powell was elected man.

While some work was done last fall
on the new State road that has been
laid out between Osakis and West
Union to connect with Stearns coun-
ty road to Sank Centre, on account
of the early freeze-up there was not
the opportunity to get the road in
shape for spring travel. AS soon as
the new road can be placed in good
condition the Review is advised that
there will be no difficulty in having
the Red Trail routed over the new
road, and this work should be done
at the earliest possible date if West
Union and Osakis are to be benefited
by the through automobile travel this
season. The new maps will soon be
out and the markings must be
changed, but it will be difficult to get
the change made until the road is
made as good or better than the long
roundabout course to the south of
West Union that was taken last sum-
mer. The Review understands that
there is plenty of money available for
use on the new road and it would
seem that the thing to do is for the
proper authorities to get busy on this
work just as soon as possible. The
Osakis Commercial Club has about
$500 raised to be expended on bad
places on this end of the road, and
with the appropriation from Todd
county and the money available from
West Union township and village
there ought to be no great trouble
in fixing up this road permanently in
a comparatively short time. Spring
is liable to come onto US with rush

ENDORSE ANTI.SALOON LEAGUE.
Southern Convention Pledges Cooper
alton in Educational Campaign.

Houston, Texas, May 1.-THE
Southern Baptist convention at the
final session of it's 18th annual meet
ing here today created an educational
commission, pledged cooperation to
the Anti-saloon League of America
and similar organizations and adopt
ed resolutions deploring the presence
of a papal legatee at Washington and
alleged efforts of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy to gain control of our Gov
ernment."
The educational committee will be
composed of one representative from
each State.
The convention took no action with
regard to the Baraca and Philathea
movement, opposition to which was
expressed in a committee report. Dis
cussion of the report was interrupted
Saturday by a special order Of busi-
ness and it was not again taken up.
Before giving its endorsement to
the Anti-saloon League, the Conven-
ton voiced its objection to the cen
tralized form of government" recently
adopted by the league by the lnser-
ton of a clause in the report OF the
committee on temperance and social
service insisted that the league "be
kept in harmony with our democratic
institutions" Each of the Southern
Baptist churches is self-governing
and it was urged that the league be
so constituted that each State organ
ization be self-controlling.
The organization will meet next
year in Asheville, n. G.

English men-of-war have no ice

ships, and everybody knows how the
English fail to understand us on the
subject of the use of ice, especially in
our drinks.
An English officer was aboard one
of our ships of the Atlantic fleet, and,
on being served with an ice drink,
commented on the delights of having
cool water aboard. The American
officer responded with an offer of a
small cake of ice, which was sent the
following morning. Meeting the Eng
lishman ashore week later, the
American asked him if he had enjoy

SAVED FROM THE WRECK.
Divers at Georgetown Bring Up The

Georgetown, May 1s.-Divers have
at last succeeded in their efforts to
secure the engines and other machin-
cry of the $4,000, eighty-foot yacht
Lunaria, which went upon the rocks
of the north jetty off Georgetown bar
more than year ago, and has been
subjected to the pounding >>of the
waves for that time. Persistent eff
forts have been made to save the val
liable machinery of this palatial boat,
but without success till this week,
when daring divers succeeded in de-
taching the machinery from the brok-
en- hull, and turning it over to Messrs
C. /. Ford and T. w. Brightman, who
bought the wreck from the insurance
people.
The Lunaria was one of the finest
yachts on the Atlantic coast, and was
the property of a wealthy New York
er. Why she should have been al
lowed to go on the jetty has never
been explained The engines are in
excellent condition in spite of their
long immersion in the salt.

PUTS Up BABOON PRICES.
Big Stock in Hamburg, but Animals
Are Interned There.

We learn from London that in con-
sequence of the war balloons are very
high, alligators are scarce and polar
bears are firm. says the Boston Tran
script. In TACT, these animals COM
mand twice the prices bid in April
1914.
1t seems that in course of Ger
many's commercial expansion it got
control of the wild stock" markets
of the world Hamburg became the
centre of this trade, which is diligent-
ly prosecuted by German collectors.
Now Hamburg is isolated and
doubtless finds itself with big
stock of balloons, polar bears, alli-
gators, etc., on its hands which it can
not move. With the coming of peace
Hamburg may be expected to realize
on it's holdings, and sharp decline
in baboons is probable. Until the
war is over British families desirous
of pet baboons or polar bears will
have to pay fancy prices or go with
out.
American lovers of canary birds
are in similar predicament, for Ger
