The following letter has been sent
out by the Mankato normal school:
To County Superintendents and
Those Interested in Rural Education:
The Mankato normal school now
finds itself able to enter energetical-
ly upon the work of training teach
ers for the rural schools, falling in
to line with the sixty-five normal
schools in various parts of the coun-
try that have established departments
of rural education.
A large rural school near the city,
but far enough away so that the COM
munity is typically rural, has been
associated with the normal school on
terms that give us full control. One
of the best training teachers in the
tate has been engaged AS teacher of
this school for next year, and large
amount of assistance will be furnish
ed by the special teachers of the nor
NAL school, constant connection be-
ing maintained by means of the
school automobile.
The department of rural education
will have as its head Mr.. Henry H.
Fuller, a. thoroughly trained special
ist in this field, graduate of the
Kalamazoo normal school, and of the
Michigan Agricultural college, with
experience in all kinds of schools.
The development of the department
will be put into Mr.. FIller's hands
and he will seek the cooperation of
the county superintendent and all
other persons engaged in rural edu-
cation.
One phase of the work will be a
series of conferences on rural life
and education at the normal school.
Such conference is to be held July
Is and 10, and l wish to urge every
county superintendent in our part of
the state to be here and take part in

RICH ARE HIT QUITE
HARD IN The TAX BILL
That Is Claim Made BY Certain
Senators; But Others
Say Nay
UNITED Press Dispatch.l


Washington, July 3.-The war rev.
enue bill, in its present shape in the
hands of the senate; designated to
raise $1,670,000,000, will fall most
heavily on incomes, excess profits,
resulting from the war, distilled
spirits, wines, liquors, soft drinks and
tobacco products. 1t is claimed that
the measure hits the rich much more
heavily and the poor much more
lightly than the measure as it origin
ally reached the committee, yet many
senators still are dissatisfied, and say
the bill is still to light on the rich and
too heavy on the poor. They argue
that as the poor men are vastly in
majority, and therefore must do
most Of the fighting, the rich should
pay corresponding heavy part of
the expense.
The one per cent tax on automo-
biles, the five cent tax on certain
kilograms and telephone messages,
the fact that it will cost one cent
more to send a letter, the tax of two
cents a pound on coffee, five cents a
pound on tea, three cents on cocoa,
half cent a pound on sugar, one
cent a pound on glucose, taxes on
canned fruits, and the increase of the
postage rate on second class mail
by a quarter of a cent pound are
all important features.

new ULM COMPANY
HANDED. TO LUvERNE
City In the Southwest Corner
OF State Is Given National
Guard Unit

Governor Burnquist yesterday aft
ernoon turned over to A. o. Mo-
reaux an order transferring A COM
pany of the Second regiment, Min
nesota national guard, from New
Ulm to Luverne, says The st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
The New Ulm company, said to be
the oldest guard organization In the
state, was broken up after the re-
turn of the troops from the border.
A Reorganization to recruit the
company to war strength failed.
There are now fifty-four men in
New Ulm who have taken the Fed
eral oath and these probably will GO
to H company of Mankato and K
company of st. Peter, both of which
are short of men. There has been
some talk of organizing battery OF
artillery at New Ulm, but it has not
materialized thus far.
New Ulm formerly had three
branches of the service, a company
of infantry, a regimental band and a
machine gun company.
Luverne has 100 men who have
passed the examination and are
ready to take the federal oath and
fifty more will be examined within
the next two weeks.
Robert A. Grout will be captain OF
the new company; J. S. Kellihan, first
lieutenant, and Ed. c. Dixie, second
lieutenant.

ACTION OVER THE NOTE
-,G0ES To HIGHER COURT
Riley Case In District Tribunal
Has Some Very interest
ing Features

On behalf Of the estate Of Bridget
Riley, deceased, a motion will be
made in the district court for a new
trial of the suit brought by Agnes
Riley, her daughter-in-law, to re-
cover on promissory note, which
was indorsed by Bridget Riley and
others. This is the suit wherein a
verdict in the sum of $S59.3O against
the estate was returned by the jury
last Saturday.
Those mainly interested in this
suit are two daughters of Bridget
Riley, Mrs. John Mccall of Mankato
and Mrs. Maggie Mutt of Lake Crys-
tai, and Agnes Riley, wife of John
Riley OF Lake Crystal, son of Bridg-
ct Riley. The two daughters are the
only heirs named in the will.
The note was originally for the
sum of $500. 1t was given many
years ago by Pat Riley and August
Zempel, a firm that dealt in farm i'm
plements at Lake Crystal, to the New
York wholesale machine house of d
M. Osborne & Co. Riley & Zempel
owed the Osborne company money
and could not pay it at the time. Sc
the note was given and it was in
dorsed by Pat Riley's mother
Bridget Riley; his father, Dennis
Riley; the other son, John Riley
and the latter's sister, Mrs. Mutt. Tc
lsecure the note further, John Riley
pledged some school certificates thai
he held against an 80-acre tract OF
farm land in Butternut Valley.
Later the firm of Russell & Moonar
of Madelia, related to the Rileys
paid the Osborne people, and took ar
assignment of the note and the pledge
of the school certificates. Afterwards
John Riley and his wife, Agnes Riley
turned over the school certificates to
Russell & Moonan, and Agnes Riley
had the note assigned to her.
1t was thus that she became the
owner of the note. 1t was claimed
on behalf of the state that the note
had grown so old as to be outlawed
Agnes Riley claimed that her moth
er had kept the note alive by max
ing payments on it. Whether the
note had or had not been allowed tc
die was the main question at issue

Some People Mistake
Whales For the German
SubboatS In Pacific Ocean

John c. Lane, mayor of the
city and county of Honolulu, has
written to the Commercial club,
asking to have it made known to
those who have been contemplate
ing trips to Hawaii that the war
situation has not changed Homo
lulu, or affected the voyaging con-
dition in any way. All Of the no.
tells are still open, and the usual
pastimes and attractions are offer
ed. He states that the rumors OF
submarines in the Pacific have
gotten around over the country on
account of reports founded in
every instance on errors of vision,
people mistaking other crafts or
whales, which are quite common
between San Francisco and Homo
lulu, for submarines.

BRING IN THE VIOLATORS
That Will Do More Good Than
Quoting the Law to Them.

Chief of Police Ario remarked to-
day that automobiles and motor cy-
cles were being run day and night
with the mufflers cut out or discon-
nected, 80 that much unnecessary
noise was made. He quoted the fol-
lowing paragraph in the state law
regulating this matter and said those
who violated the provision would be
arrested:
Every such motor vehicle using
gasoline or motor power shall use a
muffler, so-called, and the same
shall not be cut out or disconnect-
ed within the limits of any city or
village within the state or at the
time of passing any horse or animal
being led, ridden or driven"
lit is time that the violators of the
law were arrested. Quoting the law
has but little effect on those who
keep their mufflers open and create
a noise that is disagreeable. Arrests
and fines would put a stop to the
practice.]
