Automatic Awning Company.

!
Wlnslow Monday evening, after
an absence of several weeks in
Los Angeles in the interest of
his patent automatic awning roll
Ter. He has organized a com
pany to manufacture and put the
new device on the market, under
the name of the Drumm Auto
matte Roller Company, and the
plant for the manufacture will
be located in Chicago, where Mr..
Drumm will go shortly to direct
the work.
Mr.. Drumm's patent is a thor
oughly demonstrated practical
automatic awning roller. and will
prove a growing success as soon
as they begin introducing them
on the market, and it is to be re-
GREETED that sufficient induce
ment could not be offered to have
the factory located here. The
usual argument of high freight
rates to and from inland points
would not apply in any great
measure in this instance, as the
patented feature is simply an
automatic clutch spring that can
and will be shipped either by ex-
press or parcel post. 1t is the
securing of little factories that
give promise of developing into
a growing industry that makes
for towns prosperity, and op-
portunities of this kind should
not be passed up without little
investigation of it's possibilities.
The editor has personal knowl-
edge of several small inland cit
les that harbored and encouraged
alittle industry, which later grew
to be the main support of the
town. The most striking exam
pie is little Nebraska town
where incubators are being man.
ufactured. 1t was patented by a
local resident, who was hardly
possessed of capital sufficient to
get out his letters patent. Local
capital went behind him in a linn
tied amount, and the factory
opened in a hay barn. To-day
more than half of the adult pop
ulation in this village now grown
to 5000, are employed in this in
cubator factory, and the men be-
hind it have all been made rich.
Every foot of lumber has to be
shipped IN with no terminal rate
advantage, and the manufacture
ed product, taking the highest
freight rate, is shipped all over
the United States, and even to
foreign countries.
The commercial club should get
in touch with Mr.. Drumm, and
see if it would be possible to get
his plant established here.

Small Pox at Canyon Diablo.

DR.. Oscar S. Brown informs
US there are two Well-defned
cases of small pox in the Mexican
colony at Canyon Diablo, and
two cases in Williams among
Mexican immigrants only recent
ly brought to this country to
work on the railroad, and, they
evidently brought the disease
with them. There are 200 quar-
antined under guard at Williams
to prevent the spread of the
disease, and the family at the
Canyon has been put under
guard. The health officers of
Coconino county are taking ac-
tive measures to stamp out the
disease and prevent an epidemic.
The United States government
is very particular to see that
sheep and cattle imported into
this country are quarantined for
a proper season to see there is no
contagious disease among them,
but we allow immigrants from
that disease infected country to
come over and mingle with our
people without any precaution
whatever.

WANT RACING AT co. FAIRS
Horsemen Plan to Form Circuit to In
clude Central Section of this
Satellite Falls Meeting

Horsemen in this section of the
state have interested themselves in
establishing racing circuit to include
st. Cloud, Sank Centre, Morris, Glen
wood and Little Falls and possibly
some other cities, where county fairs
are held each year, the races to held
in connection with these fairs, if pos
sible, says the Little Falls Herald. A
meeting was held at the First Nation
al bank in this city Friday 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, field
of fast horses would race at each
county fair and an effort would be
made to have the individual fair asso-
Citations 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
ountyC 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,

TOWNSHIPS ASKED
TO MAKE EXHIBITS
SECRETARY STREBEL OF AGRI-

ING UP FAIR FEATURE
SENDS letter To CLERKS
ASKS COOPERATION IN SECUR-
ING WIDER REPRESENTA-
TION OF ATTRIBUTES

Exhibition by townships at county
fairs is hobby of Secretary Sire
bel of the Agricultural Society of
Stearns County, and with the support
and backing of the board of directors,
he has started the ball rolling to make
this one of the big features of the
annual Sank Centre fair. Secretary
Strebel says he will not be satisfied
until every township in the county has
an exhibit at the annual show and his
views are expressed in the following
letter which he addressed during this
week to every town clerk in Stearns
county:
"The Stearns County Fairs sphere
of influence is too limited. 1t does not
reach all parts of the county as it
ought. The managegent is endeavor-
ing to remedy this defect this year but
your hearty cooperation must be en-
listed if this proposition is to be sue
cessfully put across.
what is wanted is a Township Ex-
hibit. Every township in the entire
county should be represented at the
next county fair with at least an ag-
ricultural exhibit-a collection of
sheaves and seeds Of grains and gras-
ses. The collection need not be large
for it will be the quality Of the ex-
hibit that will count.
cit has been suggested that no prize
be offered this year. If any interest
is manifested in this exhibition by the
townships, the management will make
it an annual event and offer either
substantial premium or trophy cup.
Gould we count on you to prepare
an exhibit for your township at next
county fair? If not, could you give me
the name of some one in your town.
ship who would look after this mat
ter? The management feels that this
is move in the right direction be-
cause the county fair is the county's
very best advertising medium and by
it every township should be benefited.
This makes such a scheme possible.

get your views pertaining to this
proposition"

When the Procession had arrived at
the bottom of the elevated lawn on the
banks of the Potomac, where the ca
valry halted, the infantry marched to-

lines-the Clergy, the Masonic Broth

vault and the funeral service OF the
Church was performed.-The firing
was repeated from the veffel in the
river, and the sounds echoed from the
wood and hills.
Three general discharges by the
infantry-the cavalry, and II pieces
of artillery, which lined the banks OF
the Potomac back of the Vault, paid
the laft tribute to the entombed Com
mander in Chef of the Armies of the

RUNS INTO CALIFORNIA FLOODS
Laurel Kells Returns From Months
Visit in Southland-Held Fifty
Hours By BlOcade.

Laurel Kells returned last Friday
from an interesting months visit to
Los Angeles and other Southern Cal
ifornia points. Unexpected interest
was given by reason of the high water
and floods which swept California
during the time of the visit of Mr..
Kells. He wanted to see the San
Diego exposition but the floods had
washed out all railways and he could
get no further south than. Los An
geles. In that city he and Mrs. Kells
and their two children visited with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas Kells and Miss
Blanche KeHs. Mrs.. Kells and child
rem remain for the remainder Of the
winter. While in the California
southland Mr.. Kells met AL jacob,
who was in San Diego at the time of
the breaking of the Lower Otay dam,
and from whom he received a graphic
description of the catastrophe which
cost scores of lives and millions of
dollars in property loss. Mr.. jacob
was most impressed by the thousands
of rattlesnakes which were swept
down from the mountains into the
city region. Among others seen by
the Kells' were the Watsons, Mitch
ellis, Reylicks, Bars and Mrs. Tubbs
and Miss Tubbs. Laurel came back
via the Western Pacific route and it
took him eight days. He accounts for
fifty hours of the time by being
stranded at Oroville, Calf, because
of a rock slide.

WILEY ARRESTED;
ROBBERY CHARGED
THIRD YOUNG MAN IN COUNTY
JAIL TO ANSWER FOR CON-
PLICITY IN HOLDUP
JOHN SCHWARTZ is SOUGHT
OFFICIALS CLAIM TO HAVE Sc
CURED CONFESSION WHICH
duplicates QUARTET

Chief of Police Fish has received
word from Sheriff B. E. Schooner
that Charles Wiley, alias William
Wiley, alias Charles Hug h S,
alias Matt Hughes, is in the county
Jail at St. Cloud on the charge of
completely in the holding up and rob
bling of B. E. Halboth of Akeley in
this city two weeks ago and for which
Charles Lawrence and Howard John
son are now in the county Jail accused
of the crime and awaiting action of
the grand jury.
Wiley was arrested Tuesday at
Portage, Wis, and, according to St.
Cloud papers he made a confession in
which he duplicates himself, Johnson,
Lawrence and John Schwartz. The
sheriff is now looking for the latter,
who was known to have been in Min
neapolis last week. Wiley was work
ing as coal shoveler at Portage but
had stopped work a few hours before
the sheriff reached the city. Schoen-
Ell thought Wiley had flown but he
picked him up at the postoffice. The
St. Cloud Times of Wednesday night
says of the arrest:
civilian Wiley, alias Matt Hughes
arrived in St. Cloud about one o'clock
this morning in the custody Of Sheriff
3. E. Schooner. Wiley was appre-
hended at Portage, Wis, and decided
to accompany the sheriff quietly. He
is wanted for an affair in which B. E..
Halboth of Akeley was robbed at Sank
Centre.
''Willey was accused by Lawrence
and johnson, who are being held for
the same crime. Wiley sent a post
card to one of the men and through
this was located at Portage. He had
left Sank Centre Immediately follow
ing the robbery. Another who is ac-
cused by Lawrence and Johnson is
still at large.
The sheriff succeeded in catching
Wiley when he called for mail at the
Portage pestoffice.
County Attorney Paul Ahles sue
ceeded late today in breaking through
the wall of reserve that Wiley had
built about himself and obtained a
fairly complete confession. Wiley
admitted his own participation in the
crime and indirectly implicated the
three others.
According to his story, Wiley and
Schwartz committed the robbery, the
plans for which had been perfected
with the help of Johnson. Each of
the four received share of the
money. Schwartz has not been locat-
ed.
"The charge against Wiley is first
degree robbery. Bail for the other
two has been fixed at $1,000 apiece"

STUDENTS NOT BARRED

Even though county fairs are sup.
ported by state school funds, students
who are attending parochial institu-
tiions are not barred from competing
for prizes in contests conducted by the
county school organizations. This is
the ruling made by the attorney gen.
eral who passed on the question at
request of County Superintendent w.
A. Boerger, says the St. Cloud Jour-
nal-Press. State Auditor Preus held
that the fact that the student was an
attendant of a Catholic institution
would bar him as the schol was not
part of the state system. This opin-
ion the attorney general overrules.

EASTER SUNDAY COMES
~gON APRIL %; LATEST
DATE, IN LAST CENTURY

The 1916 calendar year pre-
jsents numerous unusual; features
and one of the most interesting
is the late-coming of Easter
Sunday, which falls on April %,
nineteen days later than in 1915,
and the latest in 100 years. Not
again until 21O6 will there be
such a late Easter. In the year
325 A. D., the old council of Nice
established Ash Wednesday and
Easter Sunday, the former al
ways to come forty days in adj
vance of Easter, which is fixed
by solar and lunar calculations.
According to Nicene laws, Eas-
ter shall come annually on or af-
ter the vernal equinox, which is
always March FL. Therefore, it
will be seen that the earliest
date on which Easter Sunday
may fall is March FL and the lat
est date is April 25. Inasmuch
as Easter this year comes on
April %, the Lenten period will
begin March Is. Again, the year
1916 was ushered in on Saturday
and will go out on Sunday. This
is a happening that very seldom
occurs and one that gives to 1916
fifty-three Saturdays. This
would occur regularly every %
years except that the compilers
of the Gregorian calendar pro-
vided that centuries not divisihle
evenly by four years shall not be
leap years. When a century oc-
ours as did 1900 there is lapse
of forty years between leap
years that begin on Saturday
and end on Sunday. From this
year on the 28-year period pro-
proceeds according to the estab-
lished rule.

ENTERTAIN THEATRE PARTY

]. A. Caughren and C. D. Marshall
were hosts at a big theatre party
Wednesday night at the performance

At the time of the "stear feed" the

Wednesday night was discrimination.
