NOT LIKE new EXPERIENCE
the Franks INDUCED in by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricities of Yankee char
acter are innumerable, and they are
almost always amusing. In a Maine
town gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn when
the horse of the village butcher-a
rather frisky animal-came dashing
madly over a terrace from the street,
flinging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with shoulder of beef
on top of him, and q big block of ice
thumped with good deal of force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
it and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by a
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. AS
soon as he could be restored to con-
sciousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move, found
he could not, gave a sickly smile, and
then said, jauntily:
ooh, it's nothing! I don't mind. I'm
used to it."

Misuse Of Funds Charged.
Shortages and overcharges have
cost the village of Hibbing nearly $685.
900 in the last five years, says a re-
port filed with Governor J. A. A. Burn
quist by Andrew E. Fritz, state public
examiner. The legality of other trans
actions involving $4S,25O additional vii
lage funds is questioned.
How the village receipts ran up from
1888, $50 in 1910 to more than 100000
in 1914, is shown, also an increase in
village expenditures from 100000 in
1910 to $1,233,700 in 1914. Another
comparison discloses that in March,
1915, 1926 persons were on the viii
lage payrolls and Ito voters cast bal
lots for candidates for mayor of the
village.
Few Officials Named.
Mayor Victor L. Powers is mention
ed but once in the report, and then
as one of several officials criticized
for accepting claims for collections
against village employees. This is n
connection with statement that I'M
proper methods are permitted in in
dorsing payroll vouchers and orders,
and leave nothing to indicate that the
right parties receive the orders, &C.
cording to the examiner.
Village officials are criticized for
lack of proper accounting in some de-
partments, but few are named in the
report. Supplementary reports are to
follow, it is explained, The examina-
ton being continued, and state Off
Gals said that further disclosures or
irregularities and questionable expen-
ditures of village funds will be made.
The present report fills 268 pages.
Favors Ditch improvements.
The state drainage board has voted
to recommend to the next Legislature
the appropriation of special fund for
ditch improvements to prevent further
floods in Wilkin county. G. w. Bur-
rows, R. E. Johnson and J. A. Jorgen-
son made up commission that urged
action to that end. They explained
that the cutoff in Ottertail river is of
no practical value under existing con.
ditions and that rebuilding of It's
mouth is necessary to make it ade.

Nearly $4,000 in Five Years, Says
Report Filed With Governor by
State Public Examiner.

Minnesota infantry troops have Just
had their most severe marching test
since they came to Texas. With
packs, guns and about 40 pounds of
equipment the infantrymen of the
First, Second and Third regiments
marched distances ranging from IL
to Is miles. 1t was hot and about 20
men in each regiment were compelled
to fall out. There was some difficulty
IN getting these men back to camp as
each regiment took only one ambu.
lance and some of the men had to
wait on the road.
With three companies of the First
Minnesota on border patrol duty on
the Rio Grande south of camp, the
First regiment made it's weekly hike"
somewhat short in numbers. The men
marched through Mercedes and con-
tinued about two and one-half miles
east.
II Is Banner Company.
H company, the smallest company
tn the regiment, was the banner COM
pany on the march, only losing one
man.
The First Minnesota was given q
thorough inspection and for the first
time had a practice at pitching pup"
tents. The inspection was on regi-
mental parade ground.
When Captain Percy McClay led c
company of Minneapolis out Of camp
to do garrison and patrol duty at
Champions store on the Rio Grande
eight miles southwest of camp, the
men of the other companies lined up
and cheered. This is the third COM
pany of the First to go on border duty.
A company is at Mercedes pumping
station and B company at Progreso.
No Ice Cooled Water.
Second Lieutenant David Moore, F
company, First Minnesota, has been
refused commission under the work
ings of the new army bill and will
return to Minneapolis.
Second Lieutenant Walter R. Gra-
ham of E company, who has been with
the Twenty-eighth at Fort Ringold, will
go with the regiment to Fort Sam
Fordyce, Texas. ~"
The Second Minnesota misses ice
water which has been supplied until
recently. Big canvas bags have re-
placed the water barrels and air-cool-
ed water has supplanted ice-cooled
water. Chloride of lime is being used
in the Second Minnesota water and
the water is no longer boiled.
A Spanish class which meets twice
week is feature of the schedule
in Mollison hall.
When it comes to model kitchens D
company, Second Minnesota, North
field, can hold up it's head with any
of them. The kitchen accommodations
include not only a large icebox, but
vegetable cellars.

Certaiin-teed
Roofing

takes tits place in the SUM- and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process 50
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore.
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills. expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine.
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTA1N-TEED i. such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness Il, 2or 3 ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
