STANDPIPE MATTER
TO Referendum
MATTER TO BE DECIDED AT
MEETING OF COMMISSION
AND COUNCIL
engineer WOLFF TO EXPLAIN
CITY WOULD INSTALL PIPE AT
ONCE IF COST is FOUND
AGREEABLE

1t is probable that the laying of a
standpipe system as an improve
ment to the city's water facilities,
will be put to a referendum vote of
the people of Sank Centre within a
short time.
The matter will be decided next
week at a joint meeting of the city
council and the light and water COM
mission.
Apparently there is a hitch in the
proceedings in the new standpi2e
plan which it is believed can he
Strengthened out at joint meeting
of the two bodies at which Engineer
Wolff of St. Paul, who is furnishing
estimates on the job, will be called
upon to discuss before this joint
meeting.
Members of the commission stated
Tuesday that it had been agreed to
hold this special meeting next weeka
The estimate furnished by Mr..
Wolff recently, has been taken before
the council for action, but due to
some misunderstanding as to costs,
has not been acted upon.
1t is understood that since the late
estimate was made, the cost of in
stallation of this pipe, has increased
considerable, and for this reason, the
city fathers have asked for further
advice before giving the matter their
serious consideration.
One of the reasons for a joint
meeting of the commission and coun-
Gil, is to have the matter of costs
fully explained and then considering
the advisability of putting the ques-
ton to a vote Of the people.
The plan of the city is to install
the standpipe just as soon as an
agreement can be reached but the
installation of the entire improved
water system will not be undertaken
at the present time.
The matter of liberation system
is also included in the estimate furn-
ished by Mr.. Wolff, who has been
working on this estimate for num-
Der Of weeks. The question Of wells
will also be brought before this meet
ing and will probably also be put to
referendum vote.

Local Girls Win
State Fair Laurals
Miss Idella Jenc Best Gamer in
MinnesOta-WhOle Team
Makes Good

The Sank Centre high school has
the distinction of having the state
champion canning expert. 1de!la
Jenc of Sank Centre, won the gold
medal at the state fair last week,
which distinguishes her as being tn
most efficient Gamer, and the best
demonstration of the art in the state
of Minnesota. The young lady won
the championship in competition with
over forty others from other sec
lions of the state. Besides being
popular with the photographers fol-
lowing the award. In addition to the
gold medal she will also receive 3
prize of $50.
The Judge commented especial!
on the girls wonderful skill and abll-
ity, and the combined speed and ease
with which she did her work. Il
was all clear and complete. The Ole
proverb that practice makes per-
feet was very we'll brought home :;
her, and certainly serves as an OBJ
ject lesson to all of us. During the
summer Idella canned nearly 500
Jars of fruit and vegetables, and
during the month of August she was
very faithful in attending the rehear-
sails and practices conducted by E.
M. Gillig, the local agriculturist.
A team of three girls was also
coached by E. M. Gillig, to take part
in the team contests at the State
Fair. The girls in this team were
Idelle Jenc, Louise Borgmann and
Elizabeth Irish, all Of this city. This
team had a tie score with the Vino
ma team for the champion team, but
in the final toss-up the judges heart
must have weakened in favor of the
woman coaching the Winona team.
1t probably was a matter of prudence
and general principles to let the wo-
man have her laurels in her own
realm of domestic endeavor. For the
coach nf tho Sa,lk Centre girls is a
man. Nearly all of the forty-.wo
teams were of course, coached by a
Domestic Science teacher or some
lady, well versed in the art.
The Sank Centre team received
second place, with prizes amounting
to about $35 to $40. The judge COM
plimented the team on the splendid
way in which they worked together
and on the speed and clearness with
(which they performed their task
Holding the audience better than any
other team, is the judges report
Each member of the team receives a
silver achievement medal. .
!, Stearns County Fair visitors will
have an opportunity to see these girls
in their work at the county fair this
week. The team will demonstrate
ION Thursday and on Friday after
noon at 200 p. m. in the School Ex-
ehibits Building On the Fair grounds.
Everyone is invited to come in and
see this diligent little team IN their
canning work. The three members
of the team have canned close to
1900 jars of fruit and vegetables this
season. They are experts. Make it a
point to Sc them at the fair.

State Women Denied
Separate Election Booth
Assistant to Attorney General Issues
Opinion on Future Use
. of Ballot

Separate ballot boxes will not be
provided for women IN the elections
in Minnesota according to an opinion
covering many phases of the election
laws of Minnesota as affected by tbs
passage of the federal sufferage
amendment. The opinion was writ
ten by Rollin l.. Smith, assistant IL
the office of Clifford L. Hilton, at
torney general.
Questions regarding the effect o.
the Suffrage act on voting have
been asked by county auditors ant
city and village clerks in al part,
of the. State. In answer to inquire.
from Henry Knott, city clerk of Min
neapolis, Mr.. Smith answers these
questions:
@. Will women be permitted to
vote for all offices?
A. Yes.
@. Will separate ballot boxes
be provided for women?
A. No. The Minnesota laws
formerly required separate ball
| lot boxes for women, because
previously they could vote only
on a few matters. Women now
are permitted to vote on all mat
tiers and no reason exists for sep
arate ballot boxes. 81
@. Are femal voters eligible to, 1
serve as election judges and I
clerks? 81
A. Yes, if qualified. s1
@. Can regular judges appoint |
additional volunteer judges?
A. No. The statute specifies
the number of judges and clerks
to be appointed for districts and
the judges have not power to en-
large that number.
Mr.. Smith says the fact there viii
be more voters as a result of the suf
rage act will tend to delay the
compiling of returns on election day;
and that provisions for more voting
places and clerks undoubtedly viii
be remedied by the next Legislature
More booths and voting equipment
can be provided to assist in speeding
up the voting, however, he advises.
