; Officers Accepted. '..5s

The Mile Laos County Agricultural
society held it's annual meeting Tues
day afternoon in the commercial club
rooms. Twenty members were present
and an unusual amount of interest
was displayed in the subjects that
were brought up for discussion. ]"
The president, E. K. Evens, called
the meeting to order and introduced
the first business to come before the
members, the election of the board of
fifteen directors. He was requested
to appoint a committee of three to go
over the names of candidates suggest
ed for this board Of directors and pre-
pare list of Is to submit to the
members present. This committee
consisting of Louis Normandin, Wal
do Hammargren and A. E. Allen sub
mitted the following 1ist-Frank
Morneau, Milaca; John D.. Thinner,
Bogus Brook; Oscar Axell, Milo;
Peter Sehlin, East Side; Reid Alter,
Page; H. G. Thompson, Borgholm; Ed.
Seymour, Milaca township; Louis
Normandin, Greenbush; Oscar Stark,
Princeton township; C. H. Mel
son., A. E. Allen, w. H. Smith,
S. S. Peterson, E. K. Evens and Ira
Stanley from Princeton. 1t was sug-
gested that more directors should be
elected from the north end of the
county but Secretary Stanley ex-
planned that the bylaws of the asso-.
citation limited the number of direc-.
tors to Is. A. f. Allen and c. H. Mel
son offered to withdraw their names
from the list so as to make room for
some directors from the north end of
the county but it was the unanimous
opinion Of the members present that
the society could not afford to dispense
with the services of these men as
directors. It was suggested that the
secretary call a special meeting to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY Of amending the
bylaws so director could be elected
from each township in the county.
This matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the. board of diree-,
tors. 49, =. r.. :. 49,.
The secretary, Ira e. Stanley, read
his annual report which was accepted.

organization, FIRST NumDer
in Seasons Course.
The first number of the University
lyceum course will be put on tomor-
row (Friday) evening at 8 o'clock in
the high school auditorium. The in
strumentation of the Chicago orchcs-
trail club is ideal-harp, cello and vio-
lin, the finest Of solo instruments and
the most beautiful in unison.
Virginia Rice is the harpist. She
plays Lyon & Healy harp of rare
brilliance and power, an instrument
valued at a small fortune. Genevieve
Mead, the cellist, is player of ability.
Dewitt Depue is considered one of the
best violinists ever on the university
list of talent. BESSIE Coolidge is a
reader as we'll as violinist. She is
equally pleasing in serious and happy
readings, and has the knack of making
her audience forget her and, instead,
they see the characters she protrays.
The orchestra will give an evening
Of beautiful music, beautifully played.
The program will be varied by solos
for violin, cello and harp and by de-
scriptive numbers, IS we'll as by
special arrangements of old familiar
songs. Miss Coolidge's readings will
also make pleasant diversion.
The lyceum course deserves the
support. Of everybody. The enter
tainments are such that the whole
family can attend and enjoy them.
They bring to our town musical talent
that we could not otherwise have the
pleasure of hearing without the ex-
pense of going tc the city, and the
price Of the tickets is so low that they
are within the reach of all of us.
By buying a season ticket each enter
tainment costs but thirty cents for an
adult and twenty cents for a school
child. Children under eight are adj
mitted free if they are accompanied
by and sit with an adult. Single ad-
missions are fifty cents, so there is a
saving of dollar in the purchase Of a
season ticket.

that there is a recognized short crop

THE BOWLING MEMORIAL.
A Sum of 100000 is Being Raised for
an Addition to the State Hos
pital for Crippled Children.

an Addition to the State Hos
pital for Crippled Children.
In st. Paul there is today a state
hospital for crippled children. This
institution was opened in 1911 and
since then hundreds of children have
been received there. treated by the
best specialists in the state and dis
charged cured of their physical all
ments and educated in mind. THE
one man in this state who was most
interested in this hospital and worked
most strenuously. for it was Michael
Bowling. Having been crippled since
he was fifteen years old when he had
to have portions Of three of his limbs
amputated he had keen realization
>of the sufferings/and trials of the
crippled children. He said: "The
plight of the crippled child is beyond
conception. Dumb with the agony of
being different they are apt to be-
come crippled in mind as we'll as the
body and when that happens society
has lost valuable ally and gained a
bitter enemy" Once the sympathies
of a man like Mike Downing. were
aroused, he could mot remain inactive
and the later years of bis life were
devoted to working for the interests
of crippled children. Now that he is
gone it remains for his friends and
those who wish to befriend our help
less little ones to carry on his work.
This state hospital for crippled chill
dren in St. Paul will accommodate just
200 children and today there are 255
more little cripples waiting for
chance to enter the institution and re-
ceive the medical and surgical atten-
ton that they so sorely need. The
people Of Minnesota are attempting to
raise fund Of 100000 to build an
addition to this hospital. The Min
nesota Bankers association has al
ready subscribed $4,000 and now the
Minnesota Editorial association and
the Elks have charge of the campaign
to raise the remaining $4,000. The
state treasurer, Henry Rines, who is
in charge of the fund in this tenth
congressional district has stated that
the quota of Mile Laos county has
been fixed at $3.50. 1t would seem that
the people in this southern end of the
county would be doing their
part if they could raise between
$500 and $3.50. There are three farm
bureau units in this section of the
county, and surely it would not be too
much to expect that each one Of these
units could: raise ~$25. That would
leave about SITS to be collected in the
village Of Princeton.
x The Union as a member of the Edi-
torial association is making this ap-
peal to fits readers for contributions to
this fund. If you feel grateful for the
blessing Of having a, sound body show
your appreciation Of that fact, by con-

Saved from being ousted from the
house Of representatives by the bare
margin of eight votes, Thomas L.
Blanton, Texas democrat, was pub
licly reprimanded by Speaker Gillett
in accordance with resolution Of
censure against which not one vote
was cast. Then, moment later, as he
walked out of the chamber with all
eyes upon him, he toppfed over in a
heap Some of his colleagues who had
voted to expel him picked him up and
placed him on lounge. But he did
not stay there long. Rousing himself,
he stumbled out, the tears streaming
down his cheeks, and as he went away
he was heard to express the hope that
he might never see the house again.
There was no doubt of the fact, as
members expressed it, that the Texan
was utterly crushed and worn by his
experience of the day, an experience
that seldom comes during the life of
ten minutes, with hostile eyes upon
him, he fought to defend himself from
the charge that he had transgressed
