Ralston Property
Owners Get Decree

Owing to the fact that the
editor of the Enterprise did not
understand that the Ralston
Avenue sidewalk case was entire
ly settled no mention was made
of the case last week.
AS member of the town board
we had no official notice of such
action and did not deem it advisa-
bic to speak in an off hand mar
ner.
We have since learned that the
case was taken before Judge
lavender of the district court
by Attorney John Schultz for the
town and a decree was entered
tavoring the Plaintiffs, or proper
ty owners on the street. This
action was taken by the town
uoard after going into the case
with Mr.. Schultz who advised
this mode Of procedure.
In the first place the board had
determined to settle the matter
without further litigation if pos
sIble in the interest of harmony
and good will among the towns
people and litigants.
The decision establishes the
:laim of the plaintiffs that the
south boundary line was that in
heated by the fence and on which
Ine some Of the property owners
nad already built sidewalks, and
afterwards another walk was
built by the town on the line con-
Cended for.
1t is now back to where the
caSe started except that the town
Is under the embarrassment Of
laving a sidewalk on some of the
property, that will be removed if
the property owner desires. and
al the same time it is up to the
town to pay the court costs which
approximate probably $l3O. 90.
On the other hand some of the
property owners who had not al
ready put down sidewalks have
he option of exchanging land
occupied by the walk which was
put down by the city for the
walk or having the walk removed
in which case they will probably
oe required to construct new ones
Some Of them have expressed
themselves as satisfied to have
the walk remain and will deed
he land for the same.
Speaking for the town board
according to the sentiments cX.
pressed we feel certain that The
BOARD will be glad to have the
case settled with as little further
friction as possible but will do al
IN it's power to conserve the best
interests of the town whose Gus
todians they are.

weather was concerned. 1t very
frequently happens that the roads

dampen the ardor of both aspir-
ant and elector.
The aspirant knows that some
of the voters are only anxious for
an excuse to keep from going to
the polls and this sort of a day
furnishes a very good one. so the
only way to combat this apathy is
toprovide conveyances and to
have their lieutenants go around
and "pry' them out and haul
them to the polls. Monday was
no exception to the rule and
heroic work was done on both
sides. DR.. Fosters friends and
supporters reckoned on his popu-
larity as the entering wedge that
would separate Richard Minges
from the presidency of the school
board. but they took no chances
and overlooked no one that was
likely to help their cause aloug.
On the other hand Mr.. Minges'
friends felt that he had a fighting
chance and they got out and work.

Mr.. Minges was handicapped
to certain degree by having to
serve on the board, but his friends
did what they could to overcome
this disavantage.
So far as we know there was
no mudsiinging. except that each
candidate was accused of favor

be detrimental to their interests

became over jealous in their be-

DR.. Foster stoutly denied any
such intentions and as for Mr..
Minges anyone who had been in
any way familiar with his school
record knew absolutely where he
stood on both Of these points of
controversy and knew there was
no grounds for such a story.
The result was however, that
DR.. Foster was elected by 48
votes over Mr.. Minges out of All
votes cast. Two ballots were
spoiled and T. H. kruse received
seven, leaving 255 for Foster and
POT for Minges.
The polls closed at Z o'clock

Berlin has ascertained that there are
442 American citizens in Germany, OF
which 1S9 are men. IT'S women and IS
children. OF the total number 46 are
students and las business men,
dentists, doctors. artists. etc. Only 1856
of the 442 were born in America. The
newspaper says:
These Americans who have turned
their backs on the old country posi-
bly,. to escape military service now
claim the right of hospitality here,
while their hearts and tax bills belong
overseas. Perhaps the noble Prince of
Peace Wilson will claim them back to
help American militarism fight Ger

Lemons Written and
Beauty the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces OF orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint Of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautitier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, saIlowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should natur-
ally help to whiten, soften, freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost and
any grocer win supply the lemons.
