G.. A. Ottomeyer returned last Satur-
day from Towner, N. D., where he had
been the last ten weeks looking after a
general merchandise store and stock for
a wholesale house. Mr.. Ottomeyer is
glad to get back to Southern Minnesota
where everything is green and looks
prosperous. He says that around Towner
and the western part Of North Dakota
the crops are pretty well dried up and
that a good deal of damage has been done
by the grasshoppers. A great deal Of
n oney is. spent by the people in North
Dakota to exerminate the grasshoppers.
McHenry county of which Towner is the
county seat has spent $4,000 alone
against this plague and other counties
have spent great deal more money for
that purpose. MIR. Ottomeyer witnessed
one of the hottest elections ever held in
that state. This was the referendum
vote on the seven laws passed by the
last Non-P Partisan legislature, the laws
being approved by the voters by major
tiles ranging from 5000 to $4,000. As
far as he could find out the people in
general seem to be well satisfied with the
administration given them by the Non
Partisan League.

New Ulm baseball team put the Mbosh

ARMS WEIGH A TON
TRAFFIC OFFICERS
HAVE DISCOVERED

Human arms extended at right
angles from the body for a period OF
several hours, weigh a ton,' said Ser
geant John Duncan of the traffic
squad Duncan was commenting upon
the success achieved in traffic regu-
lations since the police department
placed officers at street intersections
in the business district several
weeks ago.
1.-THE traffic squad has been a great
aid to motorists and others travelling
on wheels and has proved a safeguard
to pedestrians. But it Is hard on the
arms. Try it and see. They begin to
weigh down. Arms which the average
man doesn't know he has, because
they are so light, soon begin to feel
like they had been placed there for
the exclusive purpose of holding up
the earth. Earth is right. l am cor
rectly quoted.
But the human arm as a traffic
regulator will soon give away to the
mechanical arm. The department is
having made at the city shops, several
semaphore signals to be used at the
street intersections. When these are
in commission, the officer will work
with his brains exclusively and let
the semaphore do the rest"
Duncan said there had been no ac-
cidents of consequence since the traf-
fic officer went on the job. However,
he cautioned the public to observe the
signals, as close observance of the
signals greatly expedite traffic and
reduce the risk of accidents.
