e. L. RUDE DEAD.

A telegram message was received
here last Thursday stating that E.
L. Rude died on January 5th.
Mr.. Rude was superintendent OF
schools in this district for two years,
resigning last summer to take charge
of school at Ulen, MINI. During
their stay here Mr.. and Mrs. Rude
won many friends who are very sad
to learn Of his untimely death. He
was a young man Of great promises
for the future, and his work here
was of the highest standard.
All that is known of his death
here is what was contained in the
telegram message received by Claus
C. Monker, clerk of the school board,
which merely stated that he died on
January 5th.
The News-Herald joins in with the
entire community in extending SYM
pathy to Mrs. Rude and the be-
reaved family.

THE GRIP
(By Walt Mason.)

Now, when a man has got cold
that makes him bark and zip, he
talks about his aches untold, and
says he has the grip. Aswel to
claim when chilblains flirt your toes
around about, and cause a picayunish
hurt, that you've rheumatic govt.
The grip it is a fell disease, unlike
the garden cold, and it was shipped a.
cross the seas, from Russia's frozen
world. Oh, it is fierce and it will
cook the goose of any gents, and
make the cold of commerce look like
tWenty-seven cents. The men who've
had it should receive due credit for
the same and if they die they ought
to leave long enduring fame. Alas,
distinction for them moulds, no lau-
rel wreaths this trip, for skates
with common ten-cent colds, all say
they have the grip. I've had the
real imported thing, Endorsed by
Nick, the Gar, and I, of course,
would like to spring grip stories,
near and far. Alas this world no
solace holds for one to whom it's
due; for all the skates within tin
horn colds remark, ''I've been there
too"

FARMERS OF EAST end
INTERESTED IN FARM LOANS
Hovland Takes Action Towards the
Formation Of a Federal Loan
Association.

A number of the residents of the
town of Rowland and the Reserva-
ton met on Saturday evening, the
18th instant, at the Hovland Town
Hall to take definite action towards
the formation of a Federal loan as
ISOLATION for the county. After a
careful consideration of the provi-
sions of the Federal Loan Act, four
teen of those present signifed their
willingness to become members of
such an association and made esti-
mates of the amounts they would
desire to borrow for the improve
ment of their farms. It was deci-
ded that similar actions by the other
sections of the coutny favoring the
formation of an association be
sought at the earliest possible dates,
and that should such action prove
that sufficient number of farmers
were willing to cooperate in the
movement, meeting should be held
at the county seat to perfect the
organization Of the association.
At the close of a most harmonious
meeting lunch was served by the
Hovland Community club.

Miss Schaller.
The fishermen have nearly all
taken in their nets and suspended
operations for the season. This has
been rather backward season for
the fishermen, we have had several
sever storms which caused much
damage to their nets and drove the
herring away from the shore so that
the catch this fall was far below
normal. The prices have been good
the whole season, and especially
during the latter part, as high as 81
cents per pound, has been paid, so
those who managed to save some of
their nets made a fair profit.

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
NOW IN FULL SWING
Speakership Of House Amicably Set
tied With no Scars or Bitter
ness Remaining
BY Martin w. Odland

Especial to the News Herald) -
The first week of the fortieth session
of the Minnesota legislature is a
thing of the past, but both branches
aren OF yet thoroughly organized for
business. The senate has disposed of
all prelminaries and is working a.
way with it's customary dignity. 1t
was easy for the senate to get under
way, owing to the fact that it's pre-
siding officer, the lieutenant govern
or, had already been chosen by the
people and the membership with one
exception, is the same as in the ses-
sion of 1915. 1t takes the house
longer to get down to business, be-
cause it's presiding officer, the speak
err, who appoints the committees and
most of the house employees, must
be chosen by the members-elect af~
ter the session opens and the men,
bership is twice as large as that of
the senate and largely made up of
recruits. Before the end of the pre-
sent week, however, the house will
be thoroughly organized and bills
will be under consideration in the
fifty odd committees, which Speaker
Ralph ]. Parker will announce in a
day or two.
The speakership fight ended before
the opening of the session and seems
to have left little, if any, bitterness
(which, of course, is very fortunate
and augers we'll for a successful ses-
sion. Two years ago the fight for
the speakership between former
Lieutenant Governor Gordon and H.
H. Flowers was not settled till after
the house convened, while the bitter.
ness became so intense that it lasted
through the session, preventing har-
monious action and causing the de-
feat of many meritorious measures
Two years ago the county option and
the liquor question in general were
the overshadowing issues in the
speakership contest, practically all
of the so-called "wets" being lined
up for Mr.. Flowers and the so-called
"drys" being back of Mr.. Gordon
In this winters speakership contest
the wet and dry issue cut some fig
ure in the beginning and was mainly
responsible for the elimination pro.
ceedings at Minneapolis December
%, which resulted in the withdrawal
of four prominent candidates and in
the pitting against each other OF
Ralph J. Parker and Charles H. War.
ner for the speakership belt; but
that issue vanished completely wher
the wet members of Ramsey county
and the third congressional district
swung into line for Parker, cinchine
his election.

boys and girls of the county have
carried off some of the chief honors
in the State Potato Growing Con-

STEAMER LIBERTY HAD
HARD STRUGGLE IN ICE
Reached Duluth Monday After q
Five Days Battle in the Ice
Field on Lake.

There was considerable anxiety
here over the condition of the Stea-
mer Liberty which left this port for
Duluth last Thursday morning and
was reported caught in the ice about
Two Harbors.
The Duluth News-Tribune of JAN
18th, has the following report Of her
safe arrival in port:
After having been caught in an
ice foe and carried to open waters
of Lake Superior, the fishing stea-
mer Liberty of the Scandal Fish
company arrived in Duluth yester-
day behind the tug Minnesota.
The voyage was one of the most
hazardous the ship has ever COM
pleted, it was said. After ''making'
Cornucopia on the south shore, then
Grand Marais and Grand Portage on
the north shore, the Liberty steamed
for Two Harbors to take on a cargo
of fish. A few miles northeast of
that port she was caught in a foe
and carried eastward.
The Scandal company sent the Min.
nesota to her rescue Saturday morn
ing. After an all day search, the tug
returned about p. m. and reported
failure to locate the Liberty. After
coaing, the Minnesota again took
up the search at 10 o'clock, and at
o'clock yesterday mornig discovered
the steamer few minutes after she
had been freed by the breaking up OF
the foe. The two vessels, put in al
Two Harbors where the Liberty re-
ceived shipment of fish,:
Later in the morning the tug de-
parted for Duluth, with the Liberty
following in her wake. The fishing
tugs Phelps and Fashion, (which hac
been held fast in the ice along the
north shore, also reached Duluth yes
terday.

legged offense of having accepted two
cash brides from Park L. Fullerton,
who admitted that he was operating
a "blind-pig" was found not guilty
by a jury in the district court of
that county on Thursday of last

the seriousness of the crime with
which he was charged, the case was
given great publicity and large
number of the people were interest
ed in and specializing as to the out
come
J. Gilbert Jelle, county attorney,
assisted by Attorney B. F. Fowler,
represented the state, and Attorney
John Dwan of this city was retained
by the defendant.
On account Of the outcome of the
trial of the case of the state against
William FOWL, ex-mayor, which in
volved a similar state of facts, the
attorneys for the prosecution object
ed to trying the case against Strand
before the same jury that had re-
turned a verdict of not guilty in the
FOWL case. Geo. w. Munford, Court
Commissioner, was appointed by
Judge Dancer to return a jury. A
great deal of time was used in the
examination of jurymen, a total of
thirty-four having been examined as
to their qualification.-Two Harbors
