The Lifting of the ban on musk
rats" announced in advices from St.
Paul last week, does not affect Stearns
county, according to Deputy Sheriff

AS result of the information

An order closing the season for
muskrats was issued during the ad.
ministration of Governor Burnquist
This ban was lifted in certain counties
last week by Governor Preus, but this
new order does not concern Stearns
county.
According to Mr.. Miller the only
counties opened for the trapping of
muskrats are Lac qui Parle, Lyon,
Brown, Lincoln, Murray, Redwood,
Kandiyohi, Cottonwood, jackson,
Chippewa, Yellow Medicine, Mobiles
and Swift.

ping in this vicinity" said Mr.. Miller.

tors mind again and again. And a
letter to Washington vas written.
Governmental Investigation began.
But there seemed to be some difficulty,
for, born in the same town, with the
name of Walter Mcclure, was a nan
who had deserted from the navy four
months previous to the time Edward
Mcclure joined the army. And the
pension bureau, always suspicious,
contended they were the same.
The editor questioned Mcclure about
this OH his mex visit. But the old
ma was vehement in his denials and
insisted there must be a mistake.
YES, a mistake in the records"
agreed the editor. "It will all be
Strengthened out" he said assuringly.
"Soon, Mr.. Mcclure, we'll have your
pension for you"
1t was a cold March day when the
old man happened in the newspaper
office again. This time the editor had
good news for him. That very week
a man from Washington would come
with the pension.
The official examiner of pension
seekers arrived the following morning.
He remained until evening. 1t was an
hour before train time. All day long
he had questioned and cross-ques-
toned the old man. This strange CO
Incidence of the other man with a
similar description and similar name
puzzled him, but the old nan was not
to be shaken.
The train was starting soon. There
was no more time to be patient He
must be brutal.

LEGION FORD

The Ford touring car that the Lee
gion boys have so long been endeavor-
ing to sell you tickets for has been
rafled, and when you see one of the
ex-service men coming down the pike
you needn't dodge and hide your head
any more because he will not try to
sell you any more rattle tickets. The
Legion sold 1850 tickets at 10 cents
apiece, and the boys are too tagged by
their effort to do anything but sigh
with relief. George X. %Sinnamon, who
staged the rattle, says he would not
rattle another Ford if they were CIV
ing them away. Louis Morey, who
lives On Maple avenu in West Wild
wood, is the lucky lad who drove the
fatal fivver from the Arcade on Dec
Grafton Day evening. He spent $3.50
on chances. The lucky number was
picked out of an ice cream cone tin
by Miss Elsie Springer, of SO Elgin

the papers had to say about the
North's hard fight, and l joined the

grub-all the rest of my story is true.
You know it is !"
The official returned to Washington.
and Edward Mcclure returned to the
hotel. A brief note from Washington
to the editor told of the investigation.
and of the rule hat made a pension
for a deserter impossible. But he
tried to have an exception made, urg-
ing the old mans valorous service and
his extreme age in extenuation, and
the people in Washington promised
to do what they could.
Day after day went by, but Edward
Mcclure failed to visit his friend the
editor. Finally one afternoon the ed
itor closed his desk and went to the
hotel in search of the old man.
But he had gone. They said he had
taken a chill and had left a few nights
before for a hospital. But they did
not know which one. IF you hear OF
him." said the editor. II would like to
know at once" And the manager
promised.
Some weeks went by. One day an
oficial-looking envelope arrived at the
hotel and true to his word the man
ager telephOned the editor. When he
reached the hotel he opened the long
envelope, to find that Edward Mcclure
was to receive his pension for meri-
torious service. Enclosed was the
check-a big check.

In Bellevue hospital. And there he
went.
Soon down the line he saw the face
of Edward Mcclure. Still immaculate,
he lay there gaunt and white.
"He is often delirious, but very
harmless and so weak" said the nurse
as they approached his bed. He Is
dying. He caught a bad cold and he
had been so poorly nourished that he
hadn't the strength to stand it. To

The youthful star, Jackie Coogan,
appeared in "Peck's Bad Boy at the
Casino Theatre last Monday and Tues
day. The story of "Peck's Bad Boy
is not the old familiar one, but has
been brought up to date as a starring
vehicle for the "Kid." Jackie, who is
five years old, was found" by Charlie
Chaplin, who proclaimed him the
greatest dramatic find" Of the year.
He worked for a year with Chaplin
producing the King of Comedians
greatest picture, "The Kid" which was
shown in New York not so long ago
at the Strand Theatre. Since then
he has been known from coast to coast
as the kid" Mr.. Hunt was indeed
fortunate to secure the Kids latest
picture because it is in great demand
all over the country. That the au-
diences who packed the Casino appre-
ciated it was manifested by the gales
of laughter which could be heard out
side on the boardwalk.
