want GAME REFUGE HERE
HEARING HELD ON PETITION TO
ESTABLISH BIG REFUGE BE-
LOW LITTLE FALLS

A meeting Of landowners, sports
men, and others interested in the Gre
alton Of game refuge south Of Little
Falls, was held at the F. Graham farm
near Gregory Tuesday afternoon. The
attendance was small, only a few To-
cal men being present and but few
farmers living within the area of the
proposed reserve. Carlos Avery, state
game warden, presided over the hear
ing but he took no action at the time
announcing that decision would be
made later.
AS proposed, a game refuge cover
ing twenty-five sections lying between
the Mississippi and Platte rivers,
south Of Little Falls, would be estab-
lished. This refuge could be made
so for limited number Of years OF
permanently, and in either instance,
hunting would not be permitted on
the premises included in the refuge,
nor would any person be permitted to
trespass with dog or gun. In this way
the birds would be unmolested and it
is believed would propagate very fast.
Mr.. Avery states that these refugees
are being established all over the
state and that such steps must be
taken, otherwise the legislature will
put closed season on hunting in the
entire state before long.
Mr.. Avery, while here, urged the
organization Of sportsmen So
ciety. Local parties will probably
try to organize such a society in the
near future

Newman and which he calls The All
Stars, will clash for high honors at

The Elks have played two games
already this season and have won both
and they believe that there will be
nothing to coping the game Sunday
but Pete Newman things otherwise.
He is going to pitch for his team and
says that he has not arranged for any
other pitcher either, which can be tax
en- to mean that he will stick through
to the end and that he has confidence
in himself although he has not been
in a game Of baseball for three or
four years.
For the Elks the lineup will be as
follows: Berg SIS, Wetzel cf, Stoll 2b,
Longley 3b, Sylvester ID, Cannon, rf,

MORRISON Gets Third PLACE
IN CENTRAL SECTION AT STATE
FAIR-WADENA GETS
FIRST PLACE

Morrison county came out thirl in
the Central section at the state fair
this year, her exhibit scoring 976
points out Of possible 1900, three
points higher than Todd county, which
was fourth There were only four
counties in the central section which
competed. Wadena county OF the
first prize, scoring 1,O271a. Cass coun-
ty, in the northern section, won the
state trophy, with score Of 1866.
Washington county got the first prize
for beauty in this section.
The showing made by Morrison
county is considered good, in view
Of the poor growing season. Although
it has not been possible to obtain the
scores on the individual exhibits, it
is believed that the. corn, potato and
fruit exhibits and miscellaneous
scored high, but that the grains did
not show up so we'll. LICK
Messrs. A. H. Larson of the local
high school and Verne steward of
Royalton high put on the exhibit, de-
voting a great deal of time to the
work, and to them is due much credit
for the showing Morrison county
made, as well as to those who furnish
ed the material for the exhibit.
Following are the names of the
counties that had exhibits at the fair
and their score and prizes:
Northern Division

WILL Be A LIVE CAMPAIGN
SIXTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
MET HERE; MONDAY

A well attended meeting Of the de-
mocratic congressional committee of
this district was held Monday after
noon at the. Buckman hotel, with
Harvey Grimmer of st. Cloud
presiding.
Matters pertaining to the campaign
were taken up for discussion and the
situation as expressed by those pres
ent from the different counties
showed an excellent opportunity for
the success of the congressional
candidate
Hon. William F. Donohue, candi-
date of the party in the district, gave
the committee most encouraging re.
ports of the tenders Of support that
are being received daily. He has been
assured Of support from most u4iees:
pected quarters, and many of the
most prominent republicans of the
district have either written or told
him personally of their intentions of
working and voting for HIM.
It was felt that the settlement of
the threatened railroad strike by a
democratic president and a demo-
cratic congress-the question having
been made a partisan one by the
practically solid vote against the pre-
venting a strike by the republican
senate, including the two Minnesota
senators-would create an unusually
friendly sentiment in favor of Mr..
Donohue througout his district. A
telegram congratulating the president
On his successful efforts in behalf of
the working people and the public
generally was forwarded to- the presi-
dent by the officers of the committee,
as follows:
Little Falls, Minn., Sept 4, 1916. .
To the President, White House, Wash
ington, D. c.:
The Democratic Congressional COM
mittee of the Sixth Minnesota dis
trict, in session here today, extends
heartiest congratulations ON your sue
cessful adjustment of the threatened
railroad strike, with all its attendant
miseries.
The Democrats Of Minnesota hope
to give you the electoral vote of the
state as matter Of simple justice.
We know that thousands of men of
other parties join in the spirit of this
message.
Harvey W.. Grimmer, Chairman,
E. w. Swenson, Secretary.
An appeal to the voters Of the dis.
trict in behalf Of Mr.. Donohue was
presented and endorsed by the full
committee. It will appear later.
An advisory committee headed by
DR.. J. A.. Dubois Of Sauk Center, who
led thel democratic fight two years
ago for congress in the Sixth district
was announced. It includes one OF
more leading democrats of each
county.
It was reported from Walker, Cass
county, that strong Donohue club
had been organized there, and had
pledged its best efforts to the work
Of advancing Donohue 3 interests il
Cass county. Other clubs having fo1
their purpose the promotion Of thu
Melrose mans candidacy are in tn,
making. =. a-
Mr.. Donohue viii open his campaign
on the evening Of September 8, hav
ing accepted an invitation to speal
before the Donohue club at Walker
Other speaking dates are at the fai
at Motley on the afternoon of Sep
tember IA and at the Cass county fai
at Pillager on September %.

Need of a Library.

I regard books in my library In
much the same way that sea ca plain
regards the charts in his chart room,
writes Jack London in the Phi fladel-
phia North American. 1t is manifestly
impossible for a sea captain to carry
in his head the memory Of all the
reefs, rocks, shoals, harbors, points,
lighthouses, beacons and buoys of all
the coasts Of the world; and no sea
captain endeavors to store his head
with such mass of knowledge. What
he does is to know his way about in
the chartroom, and when he picks up
a new coast, he takes out the proper
chart and has immediate access to all
information about that coast. So it
should be with books. Just as the
captain must have we'll equipped
chartroom, so the student and think
er must have a well equipped library
and must know his way about that IL
brary.
I, for one, never can have too many
books; nor can my books cover too
many subjects. I may never read
them all, but they are always there,
and never know what strange coast
l am going to pick up at any time in
sailing the world of knowledge.

TUESDAY,.

Reports from Zurich say that Hol-
land has closed the frontier towar
Germany and massed her entire army
on the German front. Fear of viola
ton of her neutrality, directly or in
directly, as a consequence Of the an
ticipated allied offensive, is supposed
to have led to Hollands recent war
preparations.
The French are heavily bombardins
the German positions on the Douau'
mont-VauX front, northeast of Verdun,
it is believed in preparation for a new
counter attack. Artillery is active On
the west side of the Mouse also. Der.
lin claims gains in the Verdun region
and admits loss of mine crater to the
British, southeast of Ypres.
General Ivanoff, commanding the
Russian armies in Volhynia and Cali

planes has raided Essen and other
