THE SAUK c

The county board turned down the
petition of the armory board for an
appropriation to build an armory at
the county seat. The tax levy for the
year had been made up at the July
meeting and on the ground that no
money was available with which to
pay the appropriation, the board de-
cided not to grant the appropriation
The matter, however, may come up
another year. ...-
The board made an appropriation
of 100000 for the support of the
Farm Bureau, the money to be avail
able on or after January 1 next. TIE
Farm Bureau asked for 100000,
but the county board cut the amount
down to 100000 not because it is
unfriendly to the Farm Bureau, but
because no arrangements were made
when the tax levy for 1921 was being
considered, for such an appropria-
tion.-Long Prairie Leader.
Lillian Kregley, 9 year old, daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Kregley, res
idence in Foxhome, was accidentiy
shot in the side with a rifle last
Saturday and that it did not cause
her death is a miracle. The little
girl was with her brother, who was
Shooting birds and in some manner
the gun was discharged when the
boy was lifting it up. The injured
one was taken to the Fergus Falls
hospital where she has been resting
nicely. Her brother, Roy, of Camp
bell was notified at once and went
to his home.-Fergus Falls Tribune.

Use of a facial cosmetic prepara-
ton is believed to have caused the
death of four persons of one family
within the past four months, it was
reported by physicians at the Uni
versity hospital, following the death
of Lilly M. Fitzgerald, 16 years old,
Of Hewitt, MINI.
According to the hospital physi-
clans, the girl died from the effects
of lead poisoning. Her illness was
similar to that of the other three
members of the family, the cause OF
which was not known. A face pow
der that the girl was using was ex-
amined and found to contain lead
carbonate. 1t is being analysed at
the university laboratories.
The infant child Of Albert L.
Fitzgerald, father of the girl who
died here, died SUDDENLY in June, the
cause of death being undiscovered.
The death of an aunt of the girl from
similar illness followed closely, after
which the mother became i'll. Short
ly after the girl was stricken the
mother died, and the girl was
brought to the hospital here in an
effort to find the cause of her illness.
According to Mr.. Fitzgerald the
family had been using the facial
preparation for about five months.
He said that paste had been made
and used by the women members Of
the family, who did not suspect that
the substance was poisonous.-Ber-
