CLOSES HOSPITAL.

DR.. P. E. Stangl, who assumed
charge Of the Plon hospital about
October 1, has closed his labors here
and returned to St. Cloud to resume
his practice.
The doctor sought and desired the
cooperation Of all the people Of
Paynesville, which he should have re-
ceived, but which he did not receive.
He decided to do the only sensible
thing he could do-quit.
1t will be no easy matter to get a
man of the ability Of DR.. Pa E. Stangl
to come to Paynesville to open up the
hospital. The town is small, and doc
tors who can handle a hospital such
as the one here, can make much more
by practicing in larger place, with
good deal less work and worry.
If this town is ever going to
amount to shucks, the business men
have got to get together and pull to-
gether.
Lets boost, not knock. - Paynes-

Telephone LINES BEING '
lNvENTORlED IN COUNTY
Commencement Of tho Valuation Of
the Toll Line Properties Of


All long distance telephone lines in
Kandiyohi County are being inven-
toried by the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission. The field
work, now under way in this county
is in charge Of Mr.. c. E. Hoy; Of
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The legislature Of 1917 authorized
the Commission to make a physical
valuation Of the long distance tele-
phone lines in the state. This ap-
praisal, when completed, will, among
other uses, constitute an important
factor in the determination Of the
fair value" Of the toll properties in
the consideration Of the reasonable
ness Of long distance telephone
charges in Minnesota.
D. F. Jurgensen, Chief Engineer Of
the Commission, has general SUPER
vision Of the work, and has coached
the field crews personally giving the
men about four weeks Of instruction,
both IN the office and in the field.
Five field crews are now at work
and more will be added as the work
progresses.
There are about ten thousand miles
Of telephone toll lines in the state,
all Of which must be examined and
reported upon by the field men. They
must note, not only every pole, with
it's class, size and condition, but also
the type, number and general condi-
ton of the crossarms, pins, insulat-
ors, wires and anchors; in fact Of
every physical unit making up tho
toll plant.
When the field notes are complet-
ed, they are sent in to headquarters
for final analyzation and compilation
by the Commissions engineers.

feated the Benson team in the game
played last Saturday evening on the
local floor, by a score of IS to %. The
game was rough, due to the fact that
there was no one on hand who was
capable of refereeing. Several times
the players stopped to argue as to
which team was playing the rough
est. Norling and Harstad did the
most scoring for the winners while
Bert Peterson and Froshaug counted
all the points for Benson. The score:
Christian .......F. b. Peterson

To lose a game which had been
counted almost as good as won,, is
bad enough, but to lose the mainstay
of the team, is a lot worse. Such
was the fate that befell the high
school basket ball team when they
met the Litchfield team at the latter
place last Saturday evening. The
score was 26-16.
Walt Erickson was the player in
jured, suffering a broken bone in his
right hand, which will undoubtedly
keep him out of the game the rest of
the season. At least the hand must
remain in cast for four weeks. The
accident happened after about five
minutes of play in the first halt, be-
fore either team had scored, and al
tho it is impossible to convince any
Of the winning team, it is our firm be-
lief that the score would have been
reversed, and Willmar would have
been the ones to win by ten points
had it not happened.
The best way to describe the game
is to recall the story of the Ford
which travelled five miles on its repu-
tation without an engine. Following
Erfckson's injury, instead Of going to
pieces, the team travelled at a fast
pace for just about thirty minutes, or
until within four minutes of the end
Of the game. With. the score stand

On Friday evening the teachers and
pupils of our schools entertained the
parents and friends. Our future cit
liens put on program that would do
credit to any school in this grand old
U. S. A. The teachers, Miss Linblad
and Miss Matthews, deserve great
credit for the careful training of the
children. 1t is too great task for
US to give a detailed account of the
program, which was patriotic and also
observing of Mothers Day. The songs
Rotations, drills and dialogues were
all especially good. The topsy-turvy
drill by the pupils of the third grade
and Yankee Doodle drill by the pri-
mary boys were loudly applauded. The
