first, borrow the money on the credit

That your committee recommends
the erection of a modern creamery

two stories, 80 feet wide and 60 feet
long, the dimensions to be changed
as will be found most suitable and the
cost of the structure not to exceed

MISSING MAN FOUND DEAD
Boys on Hunting Excursion Clear Up
Mystery Which Has Perplexed
Authorities,
DEAD

St, Cloud, Oct 9.--The body Of Will
liam Krunweige, the aged man who
mysteriously disappeared from st.
Joseph Home at noon, April IL, was
found yesterday afternon by Bert and
James Olson, two young farmer boys,
who were wandering through a mea-
dow while hunting. The body of the
aged man was found by the boys be-
tween four and five o'clock. They
were attracted by the odor emitted
from the body. When they discovered
the body of a man lying in the tall
grass they Immediately notified their
parents. Mrs. Olson then accompanied
the boys to st. Joseph's Home and
told of the discovery.
The authorities at ST. Joseph's
home Immediately dispatched man
to the scene. He identified the body as
that of Krumwiege. The clothes of
the man were practically the only
means of identifying him, the features
having lost their semblance.
The meadow to which Krumwiege
had wandered is about three miles
northeast of the Home. He was seen
there the day after he had disappear
ed, but the search at that time was

Rev. Brown also places great faith
in potatoes as a crop and left hur-

pressed the opinion, however, that
he did not believe the exigencies of
the potato gathering would prevent
him from attending the state confer

churches at Northfeld next week. 1t

A knock from those who do not want

The preliminary work of organiza-

plete and with far greater measure
of success than we anticipated. To
those who have chosen to help the
farmer in the task of solidifying his
political power, either by taking men,
bership or in any way contributing to
the work, / want now to publicly
thank you in the name of the 1916
farmers of this vicinity who are men,

Most of the business men have been
very kind and courteous and when
they understand that increasing the

are many of the stalwart farmers who
have spent their time and money to
build their organization. Through
the columns of the NOnpartisan

MINNESOTA SCENIC HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION TO GATHER
HERE IN ANNUAL SESSION
MOVEMENT GAINS In IMPETUS
DIRECTORS WORK. TO HAVE EN-
TIRE ROUTE IN FINE CON-
DITION BY NEXT FALL

DR.. j. A. Dubois returned Wednes-
day from Brainerd where he attended
a meeting of the directors of the Min
nesota Scenic Highway association.
Stearns county was further represent
ed by DR.. p A. Hilbert Of Metrose
and between those two delegates they
landed the annual meeting of the as
sociation to be held in Sauk Centre
on Aug. A, 1917. This will bring here
good roads enthusiasts from all parts
of the state.
DR.. Dubois states it was the sense OF
the directors meeting that every en-
deavor should be made to have the en-
tire route of the proposed Minnesota
Scenic highway in such condition by
September, 1917, to permit of mon
ster automobile outing or ''joyride" to
last week or more passing along the
entire route. This suggestion was met
with enthusiasm and all directors
present pledged themselves to work
to attain that end.
Reports from all districts were that
the Minnesota Scenic highway was
growing in popularity rapidly in all
directions and in all regions traversed
by the road and that it had taken the
lead throughout the state over all
other automobile routes.
Meeting at the same time in Brain
erd were representatives of the Du-
luth-Fargo Highway association
which is working in conjunction with
the Minnesota Scenic Highway asso-
citation and proposes to build lateral
line between the cite of Duluth and
Fargo as an offshoot of the larger
route.

The aged man disappeared on April
IL. He left the. home at dinner time,
without knowledge to the authorities
When he did not return in the evening
the sisters notified police authorities
in the city. It was first suspected
that he wandered to st. .Cluod. He was
very fond Of children, and the sisters
believed that he had grown lonesome
and had gone to the city to see some
children. They called him the "candy
man," because he always had some
candy for them.
Krunwiege was seen on the streets
during thei afternoon and the follow
ing day was see nwandering east of
the city.
Several searching parties were or
ganized but their efforts at locating
the aged man were in vain.
After his disappearance, it was
thought that he had probably fallen
into the river and had been taken
down the stream.
The weather at the time he disap-.
peared was miserable. A cold rain
fell all day Tuesday, the day when he
and the following week
was chilly and wet. There is no doubt
but that the man died of exhaustion
and exposure. He probably died a
day or so after he left the home.
The funeral was held this after
noon. Interment was made at Calvary

a statement by Rev Arhuthnot:
In my opinion the natural right OF
a woman 10 vote is just as sound as
that Of man and rests exactly upon
the sane ground Women should vote
because all fairminded persons will
agree they have right TO express
their choice a. To who the office
holders shall be inasmuch as they,
along with all others are controlled
and subjected 10 the laws their re-
personalities shall enact Suffrage
should no more be matter OF sex any
more than 10 should be a matter OF
race. The Acknowledgement OF women
is usurpatiOn Of power. a relic of
barbarism unworthy OF chivalrous
manhood thar should be restored and
made right by the freedom loving
sons OF West Virginia rolling up a
great majority for Woman Suffrage az
the ballot box next November
In future years our descendants
will look back 10 these times and
marvel at the supreme effrontery OF
the male population arrOgating 10
themselves an the privileges of

mr.. GREEN WOULD
CORRECT INJUSTICE

Hon. Henry s. Green, the distin.
guished head OF the West Virginia
department OF archives and history.
needs no Introduction to any reader
HIS fame in his special department
mas extended far beyond the confines
OF state boundaries. He is an author
lily. Not only is he far known as
state historian and archivist but he
Is as well known as an editorial writer.
NO subpect OF public interest has been
completely discussed until Editor
Green has had his say. As there has
been no question OF equal importance
before the people in a couple of gener.
atoms he has. OF course. taken ad.
yanced ground on the equal franchise
amendment. Following is Mr.. Green S
statement:
favor the adoption OF the equal
suffrage amendment to our state con
sutuuon because OF what seems to
me 10 be fundamental Injustice in
our present Limitation OF the right OF
suffrage 10 one sex. Exclusion OF wo.
men from participation in the man
agement and direction OF public az.
ialrs Is as unjust and illogical as those
archaic preJudices which formerly
excluded women from the many lines
OF professional and industrial en-.
deaVor in which they are now working
SIDE by side with men. The seX-ob-
session which has forbidden women
10 take part In the affairs OF govern.
ment Is survival of that same feeling
which in backward civilizations stu
compels women to veil their faces and
keeps them shut up in harems. In
the new social order toward which
our humanity IS earnestly striving. the
activities OF the state are destined To
be greatly extended and diversified
They viii impinge on the individual
ne from many angles. The absurd.
lty and injustice of excluding half OF
the normal adults OF the population
from any participation In those actiy-
tiles Will become increasingly evident.
Inc world has discovered that n needs
women workers in most other fields
OF human activity. II is rapidly ar.
irving at a consciousness OF the same
need in the field OF government and
craftsmanship. What has hitherto
passed in the world for democracy
has been in fact a mere androcrAcy.
The true democracy Is 10 arrive when
We have a universal regime OF equal
suffrage.
