WANT \ RACES ATClOUN|lI11|Y FAIRS
HORSE1dEN WANT TO FORM CIR,
CUT TO INCLUDE CENTRAL
SECTION OF STATE

Horsemen in this section of the state
have interested themselves in estab-
fishing a racing circuit to include St.
Cloud, Sank Centre, Morris, Glenwood
and Little Falls and possibly some
other cities, where county fairs are
held each year, the races to be held
in connection with these fairs, if pos
sible. A meeting was held at the
First National bank in this city Fri
day for that purpose and although
nothing definite was done at that time
the feasibility Of the proposition was
discussed and it was decided to hold
another meeting later.
As suggested at the meeting, a field
of fast horses would race at each
county fair and an effort would be
made to have the individual fair as
sociations offer purses for the local
events and also to get up some prize
for the winners in the entire circuit.
While in the past the Morrison
County Cooperative Agricultural So
ciety has not favored horse racing at
the county fair, the matter will be
brought before that organization be-
fore the horsemen hold another meet
ing. The grounds Of the fair society
are also inadequate for race track
but it is believed that additional land
could be secured for this purpose.

Austin Koslosk Of this city, mem
Der of the local committee which had
charge Of raising funds for suffering
Poles in Europe, is in receipt Of q let
ter from Henry Sienkiewicz, president
of the general relief committee, at
Vevey, acknowled ging receipt OF 665
francs ($125.O0),, which was raised by
the Polish youDr ladies of this city at
supper given at the Maurin hall
some time ago, for that purpose. The
writer extended the committees sin
cere thanks to the ladies for their gen
erous aid in bringing relief to Poland.
In his letter. Mr.. Sienkiewicz states
that the needs in stricken Poland are
very great indeed. It is probable that
the local people will send some cloth
ing to the committee in the near fu-
ture and Mr.. Koslosky suggested this
in his letter to the general committee
with the remittance. Mr.. Sienkiewicz
stated that this would be deemed a
great kindness and would be greatly
appreciated.
Many will no doubt be interested in
knowing that Mr.. Sienkiewicz, who is
doing so much relief work for the
Poles in Europe, is the author Of Quo
Vadis, The Fire and Sword, and sever
al other great novels. Quo Vadis has
been seen here in motion pictures.

under advisement and will render a
decision later.

CAN'T CATCH BULL MOOSE NOW

Val. E. Kasparek IS IN receipt OF
letter from a trapper living at Grand
Marais in response to an inquiry, stat
ing that it will be impossible to Sc
sure a bull moose until May or June
as that is practically the only time
one can be caught. In order to get
the moose a permit must be secured
from the state game and fish commits
sion. The trapper estimated that the
cost of getting the animal would be
about $75.
The park authorities here are anx-
ious to get bull moose for the park
and if a permit can be secured the
proposition made to Mr.. Kasparek will
no doubt be accepted. It has been
found hard to keep small animals in
the park as they require too much care
and cannot withstand the cold Of the
winter, whereas the large animals
need but little care and do not seem
to mind the cold a great deal.

BETTER FOR WINTER;
NURSE CROP

A thin seeding Of grain is the best:
insurance of a good stand of clover. A
half bushel or three pecks Of grain as
a nurse crop will protect the young
clover plants, and at the same time:
give them room to grow.
Winter killing is often brought
about by not allowing the clover to
make good growth in the fan. IF
the farmer cuts his clover late or pas
lures it down so that it goes into, the
winter without good protection to the
crowns, he often finds much Of it dead
in the spring. Late pasturing and late
cutting are especially dangerous to the
clover field.

DENT IS RECALLED
 TO THE CAPITAL

Montgomery, April s.--(Special)- re- sponse to a telegram from Chairman James Hay of the military affairs com mittee of the National House of Repre- sentatives, Congressman s. Hugh Dent will return to Washington tomorrow morning. For the past two weeks MT. Dent has been making a hurried cam paigr of the Second district in the in- terest of his candidacy for reelection, and while he has not been able to visit all the principal places in the district, he has gone to the more important of them Today he went to Troy, where he spoke to a large and enthusiastic audience.
 MT. Dent said before leaving for Wash ington that he did not know whether he would be able to return to Alabama be- fore the May primary. He declared he left Washington with the permission of the leaders of the party.
 T am grateful for the opportunity af- forded me to visit as many portions of the district as I have, and my only re- gret is that I cannot continue the tour of my district, especially in view of the fact that I have everywhere been so cordially received. If 1t is possible I shall return to the district before the primary. but consider it my first duty to remain on guard in Washington with other loyal democrats in carrying out the programme of the President" said MT. Dent.

ALLOWED
 LIBERTY IN VIENNA Four Prisoners Went Off, cially to Bed at 10, But
 Got Up Again

London March 2O.-(Special. )-Evidentl Vienna have not lost their sense of humor. Nor Is this surprising, for ap- parently they are not badly treated, not being interned. though they have to re- port themselves regularly at the police station, and to observe certain other regulations.
 One of these is that they shall be in bed by 10, but evidently officialdom Is disposed to wink at attractions of this rule. So at least, tale that has just been told by one of those useful neutrals who has just returned from the still com raratively gay Austrian capital indi- cates.
 One night week or so ago, it seems. four Englishmen were having a round" of drinks and listening to the music at the well known Hapsburg cafe, near the Ripgstrasse The hour was close on mid night, but there they sat as if there were no regulations in the whole world con- polling them to be anywhere else. Sud- denly in walked dapper Austrian of ficer who instantly spotted the group of Anglo-SaXons and recognized that they were such. Stepping up to their table and saluting and clicking his heels to- gether he inquired fairly courteously if they were not English and dis not know that the rules compelled them to be in bed at 10?
 Quite right, old sport" replied Lon doner in the group. And we did go to bed officially at 10, but then, you see, we unofficially got up again.'
 The officer burst out laughing, waved his hand good humoredly and went on his way without another word.

BRITISH WAR OFFICE 0VERPAyS BY $750 Sends Check for 5000 In- stead of $25O- Naughty
 When Corrected

London, March 20.-The town is filled with stories of the extravagance and mis- takes of the government. The war is costing more a day than any war ever cost before, and it is being claimed pret- ty generally that 1t ought not to cost nearly so much. As the taxpayers be- gin to feel the pinch the criticism grows Curiously enough, however, in all the tales of extravaganza that are going around there are very few about actual graft. People are accused of careless and reckless spending of public money, but thus far the charges of misappro- priation are few.
 There is one tale that is going the rounds that is typical of many. A man of business made contract with the war office to furnish it with a thousand bamboo poles for tents at shilling per pole. He fulfilled his contract, delivering the poles and sent in his bill to the war office 1000 poles at one shilling each. He finally was sent a check, but instead of it's being for 1000 shillings, or 50 pounds, it was for e1000 This was bad enough, but when he went back to the war of flee to point out the, mistake, showing that he had been overpaid to the tune of several thousand dollars, he was met with rebuff, officials assuming the atti- tude that the war office can do no wrong, nor make financial mistakes The patriot was naturally very much vexed and went away. Now he has the check for f1000 and doesn't know what to do with it. He does not care to cash it, as the money does not belong to him, and as he really does not need the s50 actually coming to him, he is thinking of having the check framed. as a memento of the
 AL And of course, he is going to have ques- tions asked in Parliament about it.

Roller Skates in Business

From Popular Science Monthly
 During the rush hours, when telegrap ph operators are busiest Western Union boys glide on roller skates from desk to desk. snatching the messages from the hooks without even stopping and scarcely slack ening their speed. The boys and oper- ators cooperate in the ratio of about one to 22. That is, with one boy for every p operators, the messages are not al- lowed to stay on their hooks more than one second before being snapped up.
 The skates are fitted with rubber roll CTS, so that another feature of modern business efficiency-sile been con- sidered. Every second is scored down in black and White on the telegrams, and elflclency experts study these figures in an attempt to cut down the seconds to fractions of seconds. The use of skates reduces the time according to the space which has to be covered The main office in Baltimore has five boys who work in shifts, two being able to handle the work of 45 of the swiftest operators. The room is 50 feet long and accommodates many operators Best of all, the boys enjoy their work.
