city, distance of $50 miles. estab.

kota-a record which is considered
most remarkable owing to the fact
that for nearly the entire distance
the car Travelled through mud rang
ing all the way from four to ten
inches, in many places reaching over
the hubs.
The last lap Of the record run,
Milbank to Ortonville, a distance of
16 miles, was made in "a minutes.
For several miles the speedometer
registered between SO and SIS miles
per hour. Several bad places slowed
the car up to little over a walk"
The car was met here by the band
and vast crowd of people, who
gave MIR. Parmley and his party 1
warm ovation. Mr.. Parmley gave
a short ovation On the Importance Of
the occasion. and how this dedicatory
trip proved absolutely that the trail
was practical thoroughfare for the
tourist to take in crossing the state,
He also dwelt to considerable extent
on what the opening of the trans
continental trail would mean to the
country through which it passed.

Following the sinking of the Eng.
lish passenger boat. Lusitania. by q
German torpedo. and several other
such affairs in which American lives
we're lost, President Wilson has sent
to Germany remonstrance that ID

forth that Germany must give as.

1t is safe to say that never since
the Civil War has the American ma.
tion been placed in a more trying
position than over the above affair.
The Spanish war, as a result of the
loss of the Maine, was mere child's
play compared to what the results
Of the recent German actions may
be. The note which has been sent
by this government is firm and to
the point. The President. although
averse to foreign trouble. has shown
that there are conditions that would
put this nation in the fight.
Germany appears to be inclined to
ask arbitration. Should the matter
assume q serious ASPECT and this ma.
ton be declared formally at war
with Germany. peculiar situation
would arise. No one believes tina.
we would attempt to land an army
IN Europe. 1t would take TOO much
time to prepare one. Germany hai
no navy on the high seas. Hence
the war would simply mean all pos.
sible financial and moral support oil

to Germany, and perhaps the Selling

1t is time, though, that the ma

America is not 80 deeply obsesset

RED LETTER DAY IN MELRosE
Special Train Carrying $50 Sank Cen
treites Witness Formal Dedica-
cation of New School

Thursday was fete day in the
neighboring city of Melrose. 1t was
the occasion of the dedication of their
new $4,000 high school building,
erected during the current year to re-
place the one that was destroyed by
fire late last fall. ~.
1t is splendid structure, construct
ed along modern lines and few cities
of the size of Melrose in the state can
boast of as fine, well equipped school
building. ~- - ~. 80, -.
When our "supberb" starts doing
things she does them right and it is
seldom that an undertaking is pulled
off with eclat, smoothness and success
that characterized the dedication of
the new high school building at Mel
rose. .-r ..-..z ....
+ The New Munich, Meters Grove and
Melrose bands furnished the music.
The Sank Centre high school and the
Parochial school were invited and we
think most of them attended. We did
not know there were half as many
school kids in Sank Centre as boarded
the train in the afternoon for Melrose.
The Melrose schools, both public
and parochial, turned out en- masse,
while all the surrounding towns and
townships sent large delegations. It
was estimated that more than three
thousand people were present at the
exercises.
From the steps of the new building
after charming introduction by Mr..
Stephens, Governor Hammond deliv-
cred one of the best speeches we ever
heard on a similar occasion. It bris-
tied with patriotism, loyalty to the
state and nation and loyalty to the
law. The speaker was Frequently
brought to stand-still by the out
bursts of applause and at it's close he
received an ovation. -. 49,.
In the evening a public reception
was given the Governor at which he
spoke at some length taking "The Re.
sources of Minnesota" as the subject
of his remarks. Mr.. Donahue actee
as chairman of the meeting and intro
duced the speakers in his inimitablt
way. Among the other speakers wer,

the evening was the rendition of sew
eral selections by the violin club O.

showed careful training and rea

SKIM MILK ADVOCATED
AS FINE HUMAN FOOD
Department of Agriculture Rec
ommends It, But Warns Against
Contamination.

Skim milk is very economical food
the Department of Agriculture, and
might well be more largely used as
human food-this in spite of the fact
that it Is nine-tenths water. The argu-
ment for economy is based on the price
at which it is usually sold, and upon
the composition of the remaining tenth,
or the nutritive portion. The only
nutrient taken from it in skimming is
the butter fat. There is left, therefore,
in the skim milk not only all Of the
sugar, which amounts to about four
and one-half parts in every 100, and all
of the mineral substances, but also all
of the protein. The last-named sub
stance is important because, besides
serving as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars and starches do, it also supplies
nitrogenous tissue-building material.
milk, as well as of the mineral con-
stituents. which are also valuable for
body building, Is even greater than in
whole milk, the department experts de-
clare.
In recommending skim milk as food
the fact should always be kept in mind
that it has gone through one more
for family use than whole milk has
that of separation or skimming, the de-
partment warns. This, in the case of a
food material so liable to become con-
taminated and to be the carrier of
disease, is a very important matter, and
the consumer should take even more
pains than in buying whole milk 20
