Grygla. Verdict for plaintiff.
LITTLE GIRL HAS BIG FALL.

Alice Catherine, the little six year
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. C. O. An
derson, had terrible fall last Saturday
afternoon at about half past six o'clock,
and the fact that she is alive today can
be attributed to the good angel which
so often helps and protects the little
ones. She and another little girl were
playing about the Great Northern
water tank when they got the notion to
climb the ladder on the side of the
tank to the top. Alice was only three
rounds from the top, and looking down
to see If the other girl was following
her, she became dizzy and fell to the
ground, distance of about Is feet.
The little girl who was with her was
afraid to run home and tell about what
had happened, but she told some other
children playing near by. Some older
boys came to the spot where Alice lay
unconscious and carried her limp form
to her home. The doctor was summon
ed and he ordered the unfortunate little
girl sent to the hospital, where she re-
mained In an unconscious condition un-
til the following day. Since then she
has continued to improve and Il the
internal injuries she received are not
too severe, there is good hope now for
her complete recovery.

Director General Hines and his
chiefs Of staff of the Railroad admin

the proposed increase, it was stated,
and an early announcement is expected.
Mr.. Hines declared in ST. Paul a
few weeks ago that no increase would
be made. At almost the same moment

planned. The director general since

consumers throughout the country is

There are 10,0OO,OOO boys in the
United States between the ages of

JUNE II SET AS
GOOD ROADS DAY
Governors Proclamation Expected to
Heighten Interest in High
@ss WAYS,

With proclamation issued by Gov
ernor J. A. A. Burnquist designating
June 18th as good roads day, interest
in highway Improvement in Minnesota
is expected to heighten.
Harry G. Davis, secretary of the
Minnesota Highway Improvement asso-
citation, will begin speaking campaign
on the subject today that will continue
all month. He fires his first gun today
at Crookston. The governors procla-
nation follows:
''The legislature in 1913 passed a law
requiring the governor to issue annual
~ a proclamation designating the third
Tuesday in June as good roads day and
requesting the people of the state to
contribute labor, material and money
toward the improvement Of public high
ways in their respective communities
upon that day.
"By reason of the submission to the
people, the question of amending our
constitution so as to obtain the per-
manent Improvement Of our highways,
there has been a great increase of in
terest in the construction of good roads.
Therefore, realizing that improved
highways are one Of the states great
est needs, do hereby designate June
II, 1919, as good roads day, and urge
that on that day the people comply with
the legislative enactment and that until
next election, every effort be made to
call the attention of our voters to the
necessity Of adopting the proposed con-
stitutiOnal amendment"

WHAT rs THE MATTER
WITH THE WARREN BOYS?

Almost every small town in the val
lev now has base ball team and many
good games are being played in our
neighboring cities each week. Argyle,
Stephen, Alvarado, Hallock, Donaldson,
st. Vincent and many other towns, all
of them smaller than Warren, have
their teams. These teams are made up
from boys and young men from each Of
the towns and for this reason the citi-
zens of these villages can take more
pride in their teams than If profession
al base ball players made up the teams.
What is the matter with the young
men of Warren? Don't they have the
ambition and 'tpep" necessary to get
together and play ball or are they too
busy driving 'cofin nails" and pushing
billiard cues? There is no better,
healthier outdoor sport than base ball,
but the benefits are received by the
players not the fans who occupy the
grand stand or bleachers. The fans
may develop their lung power to q
great extent but the player builds up,
not only his muscular strength, but
trains the eye and mind to be alert at
all times.
n the professional base ball that has
been played in the city during the past
has removed the desire Of our young
men to engage IN active playing, then
we fear a great injury has been done.
Warren has an excellent base bal
park and the citizens Of Warren would
like to see the boys make use OF It.
Get together boys and let's play ball
