At its meeting last Monday night
the city counsel made an order against
riding motor cycles past the Chautau-

move. 1t would also be appreciated
il motor cycle owners were compelled
to use mufflers on their machines.
There are some very fine fellows in
town who take keen delight in their
motor cycles. but they do not railize
that the noise they make daily, and
nightly too, calls down many curses
upon their heads. 1t would also be
well to limit their speed Oh the public
streets to not more than fifty miles
an hour. Some of the boys are riding
too fast for public safety, and conf
plants are heard daily about them.
The Chautauqua begins tomorrow
and we respectfully rise to remark
that il might be a good idea TO sprin-
kle the streets, the one leading to the

Lincoln proposed to fight it out on

line being Railroad street and the
enemy being represented by our
sturdy constable. George Cotant. The
bone of contention was a child. 1t
seems that II. Lincoln, colored, has
been abusing his children OF late and
that Constable Cotant reproved him
for it. Lincoln took exception TO the
remarks of the officer and descended
upon him in a black mood. But the

too much for him and Lincoln sits in
sorrow and remorse in the place

SWAN SWANSON SAVED
FROM FIRE IN ST. PAUL
St. Paul Man Rushed Into Burning
Building and Led Morris Man
Thru Flames to Safety

The following account is taken
from the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
Tuesday, May 8, of the narrow es-
cape of Swan Swanson, of Morris,
from death in a burning rOoming
house in st. Paul. Mr.. Swanson's
eyesight has been troubling him and
he was in st. Paul having his eyes
treated by an eye specialist.
Lost in the burning halls of the
Ormond rooming house, 315 IL st. Pc
ter street, Swan Swanson, blind, was
rescued early today only when Ray
Kelly, 671 St. Anthony avenue,
dashed into the building and led him
. through the flames to safety.
''Kelly was passing the rooming
house. Seeing smoke issuing from
the building and hearing the clang of
the fire bells, he dashed into the
building. Swanson, whose room was
next to that in which the fire broke
out, was cropping hopelessly in the
hall. He had come here from Morris,
Mimi, to have his eyes treated by
DR.. Emil Boeckman.
''Mrs. Edna Miller and Miss Ethel
Smith awoke to find the walls Of
their room af1ame and were forced to
fee through the fire to the street in
their night clothes.

Another year of crop failures

Miller to about IS representative
business men and farmers Saturday
afternoon in the Commercial Club
rooms. These men were assembled
to plan the best method for Stevens
county to do its part in the heavy
demand for foodstuffs that is being
asked of Minnesota. All realized
that the American farmer as "a SOL
d1er of the soil' has a greater re-
sponsibility than anyone serving in
the cause of the United States.
A county organization was per-
tected for the close cooperation of
the farmers and business men in the
county in the important matters of
labor questions, financial matters,
enl1stments, care of the soldier boys
from the county, who are now at the
front, and the protection to the coun-
ty during the period of war. r. M,

Gus choice for president. Supt. P. e.

Womens' Civic League at Browns
Valley and a leader in the Red
Cross work that the ladies of
