LEGION POSTS TO GET RIFLES.

The War Department is now engaged
on plans for the distribution this year
of about 100000 army rifles to the posts
of The American Legion throughout the
country. Provision was made for the
distribution Of these rifles, valued at
about $2,O00,O00, by legislation recent,
~ enacted by Congress.
In addition to the loan Of rifles, the
bill provides for the sale to posts Of
The American Legion of "blank am
munition in suitable amounts for said
rifles" and further specifies that the
rifles be 'obsolete or condemned army
rifles" and that the number distributed
shall not exceed ten such rifles to any
one post" --- 49, ~. .as.
The posts Of The American Legion
requested these obsolete rifles to use ''in
connection with the funeral ceremonies
Of deceased soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, and for other post ceremonial
purposes" the uses to which the rifles
are to be put having been included in
the bill. The rifles will be stripped Of
bayonets and other appurtenances, as
was done in the loan by the government
Of obsolete rifles to the high school
cadets in Washington. j.
No distribution can be made until
some system for handling the loan will
have been devised. ..

DR.. Westenberg To
Lecture Here FRIDAY

The Marshall County management of
the Armenian Relief Work begs to ex-
plain that the twice postponement of
the lecture, with moving pictures on
Armenia, was in default neither of DR..
Westenberg nor the local nagement.
The first time the entertainment was
called off because Of the "f1u'. The
second time DR.. Westenberg was in
Thief River Falls but because Of snow
bound trains could not get hcre. not
even by team due to the fact hat he
carries heavy equipment. But we
know that this official film depicting the
true conditions of Armenia, together
with the lecture by one who has been
an eyewitness to it all, is of such keen
instructive interest that we are not sat
isfed until the people Of Warren and
vicinity have had the opportunity to see
and hear them. We are, therefore,
bringing DR.. Westenberg here directly
from Minneapolis, and the entertain
ment will be given Friday evening,
April %, at 8 o'clock, in the High School
Auditorium. 1t is our sincere convic-
ton that no one should fail to- avail
himself Of this opportunity to get the
first hand information of the true con-
ditions in the Near East, and thereby,
it possible, come to a fuller realiza ton
of why the American people are con-
tributing millions of dollars for relief
in that far off country. The entertain
ment is free

VOLUME KIN
Babcock Plan. .
Is :
led

Robert r. Gibson, a representative of
the Minnesota Highway Improvement
Association, voluntary organization
formed to promote the good roads
movement, was in town Monday. He
addressed a fair sized audience at the
city hall in the evening explaining the
so-called Babcock Plan and Constitu-
tional Amendment No. 1, which is to be
voted on at the general election Noyem-
Der 2, 1920. Mr.. Gibson is thoroughly
posted on the subject and explained
many features in regard to the pro-
posed plan of road improvement not so
clearly understood by the public.
Briefly, under the Babcock plan. it is
proposed to build about 1000 miles of
hard surface trunk highways, connect
ing every county seat and town of i'm
portance in the state. The money for
the building and maintenance of these
state roads is to be raised by a tax on
automobiles. At the present time there
are some over 100000 automobiles in
the state and the number is increasing
continually. With an average tax of
say SIS per car, a fund exceeding five
million dollars will be raised annually
for road purposes and will be sufficient
to put on pay-as-yOu-gO construction
program. The law makes provision for
raising money by sale of bonds in case
it should be necessary to make up any
deficiency, but it is believed that it will
never become necessary to raise money
by this method. The automobile tax
will provide ample funds in the opinion
of those who have studied the matter,
and the general taxes will not be in
creased. Furthermore, this plan will
remove from the counties and town.
ships the burden of building and main
tanning these roads and will release the
present county and township road
monies for building and maintaining
1850 miles of gravelled roads, at an
estimated cost Of $4,000 per mile, to
connect with these trunk roads. A good
road to every farm is the ultimate aim.
This road building scheme will advance
the value of farm property and make
Minnesota the foremost state in the
union in the matter of roads. Every
farmer should favor the plan. But if
the plan is to be realized, Amendment
No. must be carried at the next cleo
ton. Every voter therefore is urged to
vote yes on Amendment No. l:
At the conclusion of his talk, Mr..
Gibson answered many questions in
regard to the Babcock plan. When it is
fully understood there is not likely to
be much opposition to it on the part of
anyone.
A series of good roads slides were
shown at the Strand later in the even
ing and proved to be very interesting.

Warren May Furnish
Electricity to Argyle

A meeting of the Warren Commercial
Club was held this afternoon to con-
slider matters in connection with the
City Electric Light Plant and especial
~ the proposition that has come from
Argyle to purchase electric current for
lighting said town. The city council
and the electric light and water COM
mission desired to learn the sentiment
OF the people Of Warren in regard to
these matters. Mr. Jackson. an cleo
trlcal engineer, was present and ex-
planned the proposition and what i'm
provements would be needed in the
Warren plant in order to meet the pres
ent requirements Of our city and also
supply Argyle with the current it may
need. 1t seems that Argyle has also
outgrown its present plant, which will
have to be rebuilt, at great expense, if
the town is to be adequately supplied
with current. There was a lively dis
cussion Of the question and finally a
resolution was passed unanimously re-
commencing that the city council and
the city Light commission assist the peo-
pie of Argyle in their lighting problem
by furnishing them current from the
Warrent plant at a rate to be deter
mined fand that shall be just and fair
to both towns. The Warren electric
light plant is running now practically
up to its full capacity and will have to
be enlarged now for the second or third
time. aIn making this enlargement, the
growth of the city must be anticipated,
and il we can do good turn to our
neighbOr town by furnishing If current
also, by all means let us do so.

COUNTRY SCHOOL CHILDREN
FALL BELOW CITY PUPILS
IN HEALTH STANDARDS

During the past week 70 pupils in
Districts No. ~ (McCrea). 81 and 50
(Holt), and 20 and II (Excel), were
given physical examinations by Eliza
beth Hanson, r. n, Marshall county
public health nurse. Only four were
without any apparent defects Nine
teen had defective vision. SO had de-
fective teeth, 60 had defective tonsils
and adenoids. seven had defective ear
conditions, two had pediculosis, and one
was suffering from orthopedic defects.
Only three had glasses. Three had
had tonsils and adenoids removed.
In standards of health, country school
children. fall considerably below city
pupils. For instance, in the same num-
Der of city children only p would be
suffering from dental defects. 10 from
tonsils and adenoids, and II from eye
defects. This is no doubt due to the
better food, sanitation. and living con-
ditions generally of the city. But
should not the country child be given
the same opportunities for normal ply
steal development as the city child?

PUBLIC MAY INVEST
IN STATE BONDS

The Soldiers Bonus Board of the
State of Minnesota is offering for sale
to the general public $4,7000,000 worth
of certificates Of Indebtedness. These
bonds are issued in amounts Of $780,
$500 and $1,000, and bear interest at 5
per cent which is paid semi-annually
They are direct obligations on the state
and are exempt from all taxes, federal
and state. By investing in these certi-
fcates the public will not only make a
good investment, but will perform a
patriotic service, as the proceeds will
be used in making bonus payments to
returned service men and women. The
boys themselves can make no wiser in
vestment of their bonus checks than the
purchase of these bonds.

Street Paving
Is Delayed

The work Of street paving, which
should have been started by this time,
has been delayed for certain reason
that was not fOreseen at the time the
contract was let. Under the law passed
last year, municipalities are empowered
to issue certificates of Indebtedness for
street paving and our city council had
entered into an agreement with trust
company to purchase our certificates, as
funds We're needed to pay the contrac-
tor. A question as to the constitutions
atty Of the 1919 paving law has been
raised by the cities Of Appleton and
Pennington, where paving also is con-
templated and the matter is now before
the courts. The case is brought before
Judge Converse and his decision is
awaited any day. Then the case will
no doubt be appealed to the supreme
court for final determination. How
soon the supreme court will act, no one
can say, but it is hoped that the case
can be advanced on the calendar and a
decisions arrived at early in May. If
that can lie done, the work will proceed
and there will be ample time to COM
plete same before freezing weather sets
in. Without a favorable decision, the
trust company will not buy any paving
certificates, and the city, consequently,
would have no funds for the contem-
plated improvement But, good consti-
tutional~ lawyers have expressed them
selves as confident that the law will be
found constitutional. Many towns in
the state are in the same predicament
as Warren in regard to paving and are
anxiously awaiting decision in the
case in time to permit construction

WARREN BREAD CLUB
HOLDS BAKING CONTEST,

The domestic science room in the
high school hummed with the buzz of
industry last Saturday. The bread
makers of Warren were responsible.
This club of ten, composed entirely
of girls from the Sophomore class with
the single exception of one little girl,
Louise HalvOrsOn, from the seventh
grade, was organized last February by
Miss Parker. Early in March r. E.
Hooper became interested in the work
and offered three prizes in pyrex ware
to further the movement.
The local contest was held on Satur-
day. None who had not made the re-
quired nine yeast bread bakings and six
quick bread bakings could participate.
1t speaks we'll for the club to say that
each entrant maintained a high grade
Of work and the club continued one
hundred per cent strong, while to be a
standard club only a sixty per cent
finish was required.
The girls began to work at - 80 p
IN. al1ti:s3y 10 p. M. the bread was ready
for scoring, with the following result:
Martha Grindeland, first, pyrex bread
dish; Helen Rays. second, pyrex pie
plIlc lLtue1 IlOStlludul. py1 ca
baking dish. Louise Halvorson tied
with one of the three members of the
demonstration team
Every baking was a success. Instead
Of the bare requirement each girl took
pride in doing many extra bakings and
having them scored. Martha Grinde-
land had record of twenty three yeast
breads and many quick breads.
The three girls having the highest
score will. compete with the winners
from other bread clubs in Marshall
county the latter part of the month and
the winner in this contest will repre-
sent Marshall county at the State Fair
next September.
The'city Of Warren, particularly the
club members, parents and Miss Parker
are to be congratulated on the work
done thus far. 1t rarely happens that
a club maintains 100 per cent efficiency
throughout the season as has the War
] rem bread club.
The youths of Warren have abilities
undiscovered and capacities untitled
Such enterprises as this are the means
| through which new awakenings are
i made and the foundations are laid fol
true and noble American citizenship.

School Pupils Give
Fine Patriotic Program

Pupils from the grades Of the Warren
pupllc schools rendered very pleasing
entertainment at the high school audi
torium last Friday evening to a large
audience. Over one hundred children
participated and the excellent manner
in which the children played their parts
speaks well for the teachers who az
ranged the program.
The first number on the program was
bread making and judging demonstra-
ton by Misses Mae Nelson, Marguerite
Holmquist and Ethel Rosendahl mem
bers of the Warren Girls Bread Club.
They demonstrated in an interesting
manner the process of making a loaf of
bread and also the method of judging
and scoring bread
Then followed a pretty little selec-
ton, "Spring Flower Garden in which
pupils of the first and fourth grades
represented various flowers Bird Day
Verses" and Making the Flag" were
then given by pupils of the first grade
A scene from civilian Tell'' was next
presented by group of fifth grade
work. A flag drill by girls Of the Sec
Ouu anu lnlru SrdueS was very pretty
number.
''The Brownie Band' was the title of
cantata given by pupils Of all the
grades in costumes representing
brownies. fairies. wood nymphs. gypsies,
butterflies. flowers and owls.
The entertainment on the whole was
very creditable to the school and the
teachers. and was greatly enjoyed by
the large audience present.
