wise Providence inserted a clause into
the Constitution of the United States
that upon Congress alone devolves the
right to declare war. Will our represen-
tative in Congress dare to vote for war
his constituents do not desire and would
he dare to face them in the future if their
desires were made known to him? We
repeat, we are sovereign people still
and it is up to all OF US to inform our
Congressman that we are opposed to
war. If telegram is too expensive, in

Attorney General Smith was appealed
to and he rules as follows:
II do not now of any way in which
it can be mace legal for board to cor
tract with one of it's members. It is very
often expensive to obey the rule which
prevents a r:ember from dealing with
the council. The supreme court in the
Currie case 81 Minnesota 1853, says: It
matters not that the contract seems a
fair one TT . rvle is salutary one,
founded on pv bic policy, to guard against
the hazard of abuse, and cannot be de-
parted from to meet the exigencies of
particular cases.

right home to them, when two tramps
stole a bill off a locomotive in the round

three Weary Willies entered the round

a conversation. One tramp kept up the
conversation while the other two sneaked
over to one of the engines stalled there
and stole the bell. The theft was not
discovered until the hobos tried to dis

Observation-Disclosures SCHOOL
COURSE TWO YEARS.

Adding another two years to the high
school courses is again agitated by the
leading educators of the state and the
plan may be adopted at some not far
distant date by the boards of education
and Board OF Regents OF the State
University. The plan is to add two years
to the high school course, during which
time the preparatory studies, now given
at the University, are to be taken up.
President Vincent of the State Uni!
versity is one of the ardent supporters
of the plan and in a recent statement
strongly urged it's adoption. He points
out that if the plan is adopted it will
cut of two years of the time now re-
quired for young men and women to COM
plete the university course. The same
knowledge that is now impaired to them
there during the first two years they will
secure in the local high school and they
can remain under the home roof at time
when the influence and advice of parents
is most needed. '..:.
The cost of educating their children
will, at the same time, be greatly re-
duced to parents living outside the
cities Of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as
the items of board and expenses incident
al to city life will be saved: Best of all
is the fact that the young men and
women from rural communities will not
be. thrown into the whirlpool of city
temptations until their minds have had
two years more for development and
they are: therefore better prepared to
recognize and reject the things that on
the surface: glitter yet. are the most
treacherous pitfalls in life's pathway.
This proposition is one Of especial in
terest to the people of the rural sections
of the state and they should agitate,
discuss and urge it until the fact be-
comes evident that there is general
demand for it's adoption.

FIRST GIRL BABY IN FAMlL Y in
100 YEARS - :.

record, broken by the recent arrival of a
baby girl in the family of Mr.. and Mrs:
Chas. Stewart of Joy township, Martin
County. It is claimed this is the first
girl baby in the family for 100 years.
Family records and recollections. ex-

generations show that this is the first
daughter born to the Stewart name in
this branch of the family for nearly a
century,
The young lady is waxing lusty in spite
of the unusual honor attending her birth,
the proud parents are still celebrating
and Martin county again comes into
prominence as breaking another record.
