paign for Special Rates
!. on Car Lines.

Street car fares paid by the children
'of Washington to 60 to and from
school amounts to $3.50 day or $751;
514 T street. who renewed his cam
psign today to have Congress provide
special rates on the traction lines for
school children. In a supplementary
petition to chairmen of. the Senate and
House District committees Mr.. Wright
requests that something be done to
tighten the Sar-fare burden unneces-
Sariiy placed upon the helpless school
children of Washington"
Z street car fares are no less an ed
tlcational facility than schoolhouSeS,
the petition states. 'and car fare for
school children should be within the
means of the humblest home. For no
reason whatsoever should the street
exacted and derived from school chill
dren, and 1 again solicit your co-opera-
ton to the end that Congress may au-
thorize lower car fare for the school
children-the same to be either half
fare or not less than six tickets for
Quarter-and thereby grant financial
relief to many parents who, to Keep
their children in school, are struggling
against the pitiless odds"
The petition points out that in Gin
cinnati, which has a population of
4O1.247, the street car fare is cents
or two tickets for II cents. This
school year." said Mr.. Wright. '6,5z7
pupils enrolled in the day and night
classes in Cincinnati pay full fare in
riding to and from school. In other
words, the pupils cited pay more than
$1.100 a day for car fare, or approx
mately 100000 annually.
THE population of Washington Is
-437671 or 36324 more than the popu.
lation OF Cincinnati. It seems reason
able then to assume that Washington
has q larger school enrolment than
Cincinnati, that at least as any, il not
more, pupils ride to and from school on
rate Of four tokens for 40 Cents the
car fare paid by the pupils attending
the day and night schools in Washing
ton Is approximately $3.50 day or
$191, 900 a year."

WAITING FOR THE CAR
To the Editor Of The Star:

Your editorial. waiting for the
Car" in Thursdays paper seems to
overlook entirely the possibility that
IL any one should wait on the side
walk, as you suggest, they would
have the pleasure of seeing the street
car pass swiftly up the street with
out them. Where there are no plat
forms there may be few passengers,
and at least in the rural districts,
where I most frequently board q car.
there are more seats than passengers.
and there can be no question of want
ing to be first. The rule which re-
quires autom obiles to stop fifteen feet
back of a stopping street car may be
a blessing to passengers wishing to
alight, but it Is quite the reverse for
any one wishing to board a car. The
disposition Of automobilists to push
ahead, which you mention, is very
real. and greatly interferes with the
view Of the motorman just at the
moment when the would-be passen-
ger on the sidewalk is trying to catch
his eye. The dangers of standing in
the street are obvious, but your rem
.edy would lead to many cold suppers.

The executive committee of the

county met last Friday afternoon in
the farm bureau office at elk River at
which time the general outline of the
work for the coming year was dis
c Used by the members of the commit
tee. Aside from the general develop
nent of the farm bureau and county
agent work in the county, it was rec
commended that some experiments in
connection with the adaptability of
Huban sweet clover to Sherburne coun
ty be made. 1t was also recommended
that few demonstrations on the use
of soil packers and their results be
considered. From the standpoint of
soil improvement and increasing the
farm income it was recommended that
the dairy industry be given all assis-
lance that can be extended for its de-
velopment. The boys and girls club
work will also be strong feature of
the bureau program for the coming
year. C. C. Hickman,

HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"

In 1853, while General Lyman's
N. Y, during the French and Indian
war, sentinels at one outpost began
to disappear mysteri0usly. Night after
nigh6 a soldier was posted there and
the next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men In the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman gave orders for them to call out
''Who goes there?" three times, if they
heard any noise, and then if no answer
came, to fire. But the disappearance
continued until his men were panic
stricken and refused to take such q
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, member OF
Major Rogers rangers, volunteered to
go on guard at that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he heard rustIing in the leaves
nearby. The sounds were those
OF an animal scuttling about on the
ground for food and, peering through
the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint
starlight huge creature, which he
recognized as bear, slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something in the bears gait aroused
the scouts suspicion. Putnam obeyed
the generals orders. He challenged
three times and then fired. loud
groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the scout rushed forward
he found the bear in it's death agony.
Then he turned the animal over. En-
closed in the shaggy skin, still clutch
ing tOmahaWk but stone dead, lay
giant Indian.
The mystery was solved. The other
sentinels had believed it was a real
bear they heard and allowed the dar-
ing warrior to get near enough to use
his tomahawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinels dis
appeared.
Some time after this event, Putnam
was captured by the Indians, who
started to burn him at the stake. Just
as the flames began to scorch his buck
to fall and put out the fire. The saw
ages collected more dry wood and
: again began the torture. But again
they were fOiled.
A French officer appeared upon the
scene, dashed through the ring OF
flame. kicked the blazing brands right
and left and released the scout, telling
the Indians that he must send Putnam
to Montreal to be questioned by Gen
eral Montcalm. Putnam was held
in Canada until an exchange of prison
ers allowed him to return to his home
and he lived to become famous gen.
eral in the Revolution

Watch for Thieves.

During the last week a number of
farmers in Sherburne county have
been visited with chicken thieves.
Some of these thieves have confined
their operations to night work, visit
ing the coops in the small hours of
the night and helping themselves to
the contents. Other thieves have been
less cautious and have even gone so
far as to pose as poultry buyers, Wis.,
iting the farmers in the day time,
getting them to crate their chickens
and then returning in the night and
stealing both the chickens and crates.
A word to the wise should be suffi-
cient. Lock the door before the poul-
try is stolen. Fill the good old shot
gun with buskshot and don't be afrai@
to use it. The law is on your side
In the name of civilization and a de-
cent and respectable place for man
to live in, shooting is even too good
for thief.
