Rubin, anxious to help, seized an iron
bar used for throwing switches, IN
tending to hold the arc back SO the
car could pass.
Evidently the iron switch bar
touched an uncovered part OF the cleo
trified arc. Rubin regained conscious
ness after electric light employees, who
came to fix the arc, had worked over
him for some time. A current of 5000
volts is said to have. passed into the
switch bar.
One of Rubin's heavy mitts was
burned through and a thumb was
burned, but he showed no other ef-
fects from the great electric shock,
except the temporary spell Of uncon-
sciousncss. The electric light men
took him home.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.

Gilbert o. Sand, well-known bust
ness man OF Willmar, has traded his
residence and store in this city for
the residence and store of Leonard
Johnson at Atwater, and expects to
make that village his future home.
This news will be heard with regret
by many Willmar friends of Mr.. Sand
and of his estimable family. He has
been in business at Willmar since
1902, and previous to that time was
employed as clothing salesman here
for five years. The exchange of resi-
dences will take place the latter part
of this month, when the families will
move. The business transfer takes
placeJan. l, after the annual in
voices have been made. Mr.. Leonard
Johnson is no stranger here, having
been in business here before moving
to Atwater. He will get fine stand
and location here now, and will have
the best wishes for success. The At
water Press comments on the change
as follows:
"The many friends of the Leonard
Johnson family will regret to have
them leave our village when the time
of departure comes, but the commun.
ity will be glad to know that the new
merchant is one of the finest business
men you may wish to know; most
pleasant in manner and upright in his
dealings. We have known Mr.. Sand
and his good family for number Of
years and can heartily welcome them
to our village

stage today, Elsie Ferguson loses none
Of her charm on the screen in her first
Aircraft picture, "Barbary Sheep"
which will be shown at Majestic on
Thursday and Friday, November 8
and 9. Miss Ferguson, 1t Is expected,
will become known as the most beau
tiful woman on the screen shortly af-
ter her appearance in her initial photo
play.
Double Crossed" Paramount
picture starring Pauline Frederick
will be shown on Monday and Tues
day, November IL and Is at Majestic
Theatre. It is modern play of love
and intrigue with a tremendous femi-
nine appeal. It is the story of young
society matron who discovers that
her husband with whom she is very
much in love and whom she has al
ways set upon a pedestal. has in his
youth committed serious slip. Miss
F'rederick's emotional acting is of the
highest order in the scene where she
overhears a detective trying to black
mail her husband with signed con.
fession.

Axel T. Johnson, president of the
Sunnyside Farmers Club introduced
Supt. Miller before the large audience
Prof. Henry E. Meyer Of Willmar d.
rected the singing for the evening and
also played a couple of musical selec-
tlons. He made a short talk about
Supt. Miller and his valuable exper-
fence received at the Morris Agricul-
tural School.
Prof. Rodegeb gave a few minutes
talk before introducing Mrs. William
Hengstler who spoke about Food Con-
servation. She asked the people to
have one meatless and one wheatless
day every week. She stated that on
meatless days, chicken or fish could
be had and on wheatless days, corn
meal, rye, etc., might be used. The
reason for having these two days
week is to give the soldiers the chance
of having meat and wheat foods on
those days. Mrs. Hengstler reports
that large number of Hoover pledge
cards were signed at the meeting.
Robert Johnson rendered a vocal
solo at the close of the program.
A corn husking contest was held be.
tween two members of each club. Each
team was to husk shock of corn
which had been brought in the build
ing. The prize was won by the Svea
team which was composed of Harold
Johnson and James Donnery. The
Sunnyside team was composed of
Lewis Eddy and Sam Johnson. Prof.
Rodegeb and Harold Nelson acted as
judges.
There were forty-nine entries in the
corn show. In the Yellow Dent class.
Albert Johnson won first prize and
Richard Johnson, second. In the
White Dent, Carl Johnson took first
and G. A. Bangtson, second. In flint
corn, Jacob Bouska took first and AL
bert johnson, second. Edward Norling
won the first prize for best single ear
and Anton Haroldson, second. Supr.
2. 3. Miller was the judge and his
work was interesting to those who as
sisted him.
The exhibit was a fine one and was
nicely arranged and decorated. With
the colored prize ribbons in place. it
made fine sight.
The success Of this big joint corn
show is largely due to the untiring ef-
forts of Robert Johnson, president of
the Svea club, and Axel T. Johnson.
president of the Sunnyside club. Both
are hustlers whose public spirit is
highly appreciated in the community.

forty-five minute talk. He spoke about
corn and how to produce more corn
by taking care of the seed corn and
planting good graded seed corn; and
making good dropping for each stand
of corn. Besides the subject of corn,
he made very enthusiastic patriotic
talk emphasizing the duties Of citizens
of the United States in the war; Supt.
