Would Connect Both Lakes.

1T is true. the state of Alinneso-
TIA, on more CORRECTLY speaking the
counties, under state law, are
dumping water through bitches in
to Lake Traverse, causing the
water of such lake to rise and over
flow the banks OF the Bois de
SiouN river and flood farm land
tributary. Browns Valley village
and the owners OF farm lands in
the bottom between Traverse and
Big Stone lakes have similar com
plant, but in our case the surplus
water comes from South Dakota by
reason OF bitches in Roberts coun-
ty flowing into the Little Mnneso-
ia river and nearly our entire viii
lage and'the farm lands immediate
nv tributary have been flooded as
late as July. We have never tho.

We do believe, however, that if
proper and united effort was
made through the representatives
in congress from the Dakotas and
Minnesota, that congress might he
induced to appropriate sufficient
sum of money to connect the two
lakes bv canal with system ol
locks, thereby not only improving
the lakes by navigation, but at the
same time provide a means OF tax
ing care ot the surplus waters il

sion between two Northwestern

sulting in the serious injury of
two persons, was reported early
Sunday.
Those severely injured were

tanned a deep cash in his lip
which measured four inches in
length and sustained internal
injuries i'm the region of the abb
domcn when he was thrown
against the back of the seat.
The baggageman also suffered
internal injuries and was hur-
ried to he hospital.
The accident occurred about
9:3o o m. and is supposed to
have been caused by an open
switch. The engineers and fire
men are said to nave escaped in

of the engines. One of the elec

have been out,

death OF Frank Maly OH Saturday
afternoon when telephone mes
sage brought tine information that
he had suffocated in his home on

Heretofore the assessor would

would give him notice OF the

the new plan, they will be re-
auired to furnish a carbon copy
of all the property listed to the
taxpayer. Whether this will
improve the service or not re-

i'll Farmers Bulletin 70S, Sug-
gestions for Parcel Post Market
ing This bulletin in addition to
explaining the postal rates and
measurement lines for parcel post
matter, discusses in some detail
the types of containers which are
most successful and the method OF
grading and packing produce, so it
will reach the consumer in good
condition and be attractive i'll
quality and appearance. In treat
ing standards for parcel post ship
ments, the bulletin tells how to Sc
lect, handle and pack poultry and
how TO grade and pack the various
fruits and vegetables which the
average farmer is likely to market
thru the post office.
The Bulletin points out tlrat one
of the common obstacles to estab-
fishing parcel post communication
between farmer and consumer is
that the farmer may be unwilllngly
to offer goods at price which at
tracts the customer or that the
consumer may offer a price lowel
than the farmer can obtain at {
lower market To quote the
bulletin: Not only must the far
iner have something additional tt
the usual price TO compensate hin
for the extra work, contalner ant
postage required but the consume
must also have something to at
tract him to marketing by parce
post In determining what the
price snail be, both the farm price
and the retail price paid by tll.
consumer when he markets in the
ordinary way should be taken into
consideration. The consume
must receive either better article
at the usual retail price or an az
ticle of the grade usually purcllas
y ed at some concession in price.
u 1t is probable that the poln
which will make the strongest ap
