lowing resolution: Resolved, that the
honorable board Of county commits
sioners take this matter UP with the
state tax commission, and to use all
means in their power to bring relief
and save these lands from the tenorm-
Gus damage caused by the annual over
flow of the Minnesota river.
The farmers were assured that the
board would investigate the matter
and take it up with the stateautorities-
And that's where it will rest foranother

KVALE AGAIN TO
BE CANDIDATE
OUSTED NONPARTISANC CANDI-
DATE IN 7TH DISTRICT
PROTESTED.
OUTCOME TO BE WATCHED
WITH GREAT INTEREST in
WHOLE COUNTRY.

Rev. 0. J. Kvale Of Benson was
ousted Tuesday as republican nomi-
nee for congress in the seventh Min
nesota district for violating the cor
rupt practices law of the state in
making false statements about his OPP
ponent, Andrew ]. Volstead. The
decision by Judge Albert Johnson of
Red Wing, who heard the testimony
in the case recently at Benson, gives
the nomination to Congressman Vol
stead. Counsel for Mr. Kvale an
nounced that they will file an appeal
with the state supreme court immedi-
ately.
By Petition.
In the event of an adverse decision
by the supreme court, it is considered
certain that the Nonpartisan league
will take steps at once to place Mr..
Kvale on the ballot by petition as an
independent candidate for congress.
Mr.. Kvale was the candidate Of the
Nonpartisan league for the republican
in the primaries June Fl, against
15,o59 for Mr. Volstead, who has repre-
sented the district in congress since
1oOo. n pcClClOl1 was lieu NY u. ( =.
Flaten and 48 others, contesting the
nomination on the ground that Mr..
Kvale had violated the corrupt
practices law. This petition is sus-
tanned by Judge Johnson.
Of Nationwide Interest.
r. The decision attains nationwide in
terest because Congressman Volstead
is author of the national prohibition
law which bears his name, and chair
man of the judiciary committee of the
house, which has charge of such slegis-
lation. He has been a target for the
"wets" and his defeat in the primaries
was subject for rejoicing among the
wet element all over the country.
Under the rule of seniority in the
house, his place as chairman Of the
committee would be taken in the next
congress by wet, if he were defeated.

Tastel of Lake Benton visited local

Special exhibits relating to the early

These include early pictures of the
fort, commencing with a sketch made
in 1848 and continuing down to the

MANkATO IRISH PLAN BIG 81
RALLY IN NEAR FUTURE
Speakers of National and Inter
national Reputation to Be
Secured.

Monday evening well attended
meeting of local sons OF Erin was
neld to formulate plans for big Gree
Ireland rally. Committees were ap-
pointed to engage speakers and make
such other arrangements as are necces-
tsary. The rally will be advertised far
and wide and it is anticipated that
several thousand people will attend.
Speakers of national and international
reputation have been secured, but the
exact date has not been decided upon.
Local Irishmeh have long hoped to
aid the cause Of their countrymen who
are fighting to free themselves of the
English yoke, but it was not until af-
ter the big party conventions that it
was realized that only immense re-
monstrance against the course of the
American government in it's position
on the Irish question could bring
about change: Recognition Of the
Irish republic will be demanded, local
lrlshmen say, until the point be gained.

TO ship WOOL

BROWN COUNTY WOOL GROW
ERS, ASSOCIATION SELLS
70 CHICAGO HOUSE.
WILL TRY TO GET BIDS ON
DIFFERENT GRADES
NEXT YEAR.

At meeting held in the Commercial
Club rooms in Sleepy Eye the mem
bers of the Brown County Wool
Growers Assn. decided to consign their
wool clip to the National Wool Ware
house & Storage Company in Chicago.
This company has agreed to grade,
store, assume all risks, and sell the
wool for a charge Of three cents per
pound. The State Federation of Farm
Bureaus has made ARRANGEMENTS 10
have a representative present while the
wool from Minnesota is being handled.
thus assuring complete satisfaction and
fair representation to everyone con-
cerned. The commission, storage. ex-
penses OF our representative and freight
should not run over four or five cents
per pound.
The association will ship it's wool
from Sleepy Eye on Monday, August
End. Any wool grower who has not
disposed of his wool and who wishes
to take advantage Of this method of
getting the most he can out of it will
be allowed to ship with the association.
In fact, it is desirable that as many as
possible bring their wool in on that
day. We want Brown county to make
a good showing in cooperative market
ing OF wool, says F. NJ. Bane, county
agent.
At the time the Wool Growers Assn.
was organized it was planned to have
the wool brought to Sleepy Eye, secure
the services of an expert grader to
grade the wool, and then call for bids
on each grade. All at once the bottom
went out Of the wool market just about
the time most Of the men were shear
ing. 1t was apparent that the original
plan would hardly be satisfactory
under the new conditions. hence the
decision of the members to consign
this years clip and possibly work out
the original plan next year.

partment of the Northern Division,
who has been instructor also during
the first three weeks. First aid work
will be presented the fourth week by
G.. r. G. Fisher, First Aid demon
strator for the Division; and DR.. Cecile
Moriarity of Minneapolis, will instruct
in the detection of physical defects and
symptoms Of communicable diseases

like to say. In, the meetings between
the conference committee Of the Com
mittee OF Forty Eight and that of the
Labor Party, there was almost fierce
diversity of views, and yet think
that, when each morning we left those
weary all night sessions, each side
realized the honest intentions Of the
other, and however we clashed in
views, we respected each other as men
and came away friends, though we
could not yet be allies. 1t was not
labor''s cause we differed on, nor the
need Of "a great party that would give
to all the fruit Of their own toll and q
representation in the management Of
industry. It was whether the way
to do this was by class movement.

GIRL SAVED BY
GIBBON SWIMMER.
JUGA TOR CRIMSON OF HANSK a
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.
RESCUING SCENE WAS WITNES.
SED BY ABOUT FIFTY
PEOPLE.

Henry Lubitz of Gibbon. was the
nero OF the day at Lake Hanska last
Sunday. He saved the life Of Juga
iorgrlmson, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Anton Torgrimson of Hanska at
Che Lake shore near Fort Hill.
Miss Iorgrlmson, a graduate nurse
from a Minneapolis hospital, while
bathing near the shore got into deep
water losing control of her feet and
floating out into the lake. She could
not swim and struggled hard to keep
on the surface.
Father Tries to Save Her.
Crying for help she attracted the at
'tentlon OF her father, who at once
made an attempt to save her by wading
as far as he could walk until the water
reached over his shoulders and he him
self was in danger to lose his life.
BY this time, the girls Jpredicament
was noticed by other people standing
at the shore and Henry :Lubitz of
G1bbon, without taking off any of his
clothes ,leaped into the water and
swan out to the place where the gir]
had just disappeared for the second
time. When she came up again he
grapped her and brought her to safety.
n Did Not Move.
/, A circumstance that helped to make
the rescue possible was that Miss Tor
CRIMSON held quiet as soon as Mr..
Lubltz reached her. Had she con-
tlnued struggling it might have 'mean9
death for both of them since the
rescuer's movements were encumbered
by his clothes. The girl no doubt re
membered Instructions she received
during her course of training at the
hospital and acted accordingly.
About fifty people witnessed the
heroic deed Of Mr.. Lubitz, among them
Mr.. and Ms. Harold Sallet of New Ulm
Having been brought back to the shore
theglrl soon recovered.
