H. D. Judson, of St. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, was here yesterday in the in
terests of the Itasca Park Highway.
This highway, as Leader readers will
recall, was established three or four
years ago to run from Itasca Park
south to the Iowa line and then on
into Missouri. Due to the fact that
the war left conditions more or less
unsettled nothing much was done
with the Itasca Park Highway. Mr..
Judson says, however, that citizens of
st. Joe, Missouri, are much interested
as are also citizens in Iowa, and with
out doubt the road is to be establish
ed in very efficient way. AS re-
suit of the work done some three
years ago, this trail is already blazed
from Sank Centre south through Will
mar, Redwood Falls, Jackson, Win
dom, to the Iowa line and except for
a few miles around Belgrade is one
of the. best graveled roads in Mime
sofa. From the Iowa line the Itasca
Park Highway is practically an air
line and without doubt it is destined
to be one of the most popular routes
from the south and southwest thru
Minnesota to the lake region. Mr..
Judson says that convention is to be
held at some point in Iowa this win
ter to arrange an organization to take
more complete charge of this high
Way.-Long Prairie Leader.
Considerable excitement and i'll
feeling has prevailed in District 81,
Hillman, as the result of the alleged
hiring of a colored school teacher
there, but late developments in the
matter seem to indicate that matters
will be satisfactorily adjusted and
possibly another teacher will be en-
gagged.
It seems that a member of the
school board from that district select

eants on file with County Supt. Shell.

Soon the word was passed around il
that vicinity that she was a coloret
woman and last Monday, delegation
from there came to the Office of the
county superintendent and sought tx

she had admitted being but one
sixteenth white. She has a husband
and, several children and the tamil,
is living in Hillman.
An investigation by Mr.. Sheldor
disclosed that legal contract had mo-
been entered into by the board as the
law requires that the teacher OF
teachers be engaged at meeting Of
the board duly called for that pur
pose and of which all the member,
have been properly notified and il
this case two members of the boart
