One of the finest and most modern
dairy barns erected in this vivinity
the past year is that of the Pfau
Bros, near New Munich.
John Pfau and Leo D. Pau sons
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pfau, are
progressive young farmers and be-
lieve in making use of the latest
ideas and modern machinery in the
conduct of their farm work, and have
, made good use of such as far as pos
sible in the past, but early this year
came to the conclusion that without
modern barn facilities a dairy herd
cannot be profitably taken care of no
matter how diligently they pursued
the unpleasant and hard tasks of
dairying under ordinary barn condi-
tions.-Melrose Beacon.
The proposed bond issue for the
new school house met with little or
no opposition at the special election
held Tuesday. The vote was 21O to
40 for the bonds. This is small vote
but the majority is large. General
sentiment throughout the district
was that the bonds ought to carry
and would carry, hence the small
| votes.
Voting the bonds Tuesday cleared
away the last obstacle that stood be-
tween the distrist and the new school
house. The bonds voted were for
$4,000 which added to the $4,000
previously voted, gives the School
Board funds enough to complete and
equip the new school house accord
ing to the plans.
Work on the new building is al
ready under way and it is expected
that it will be ready for occupancy
when the school year opens in 1921
or shortly thereafter. Long Prairie
will then have school facilities Sec
ond to none in the state in towns Of
it's size.-Long Pririe Leader.
No. 7 the west bound evening flyer
on the Great Northern, crashed into
sleigh Monday evening shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock, few seconds af-
! ter the occupants of the rig had left
| it.
Will McFarlane, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hanson and
| children land Mrs. c. e. Perkins and
three of her children, were returning
| in Mr.. McFarlane's sleigh from a
! church Christmas tree celebration to
their homes in the northwest edge OF
this city, when the reach under the
sleigh parted, dragged short dis
lance, and finally caught fast on a
rail on the track at the M street
crossing.
Immediately the grown people
quilted the rig, taking the children
with them. Mr.. McFarlane had just
crawled underneath the sleigh to ex-
| tricate the reach when the headlight
of No. z shown down the track. He
is somewhat deaf, but was finally
warned of his peril just in time.
Parts of the sleigh were carried
hundred feet. No other damage was
done.-Alexandria Citizen-New
G. o. Knutson of Brooten was in
st. Cloud last week on the mission of
attempting to wipe out the distilla-
ton of moonshine liquor in that vii
lage, which he declares has become
a disgrace to the community. Stat
| ing that he received no cooperation
from the village officials, Knutson
applied to the county officials for ad-
vice, and at their suggestion, will
report the matter to Paul Keller,
| federal enforcement agent at Mime
apolis. The Brooten man declares
that conditions in his home. town will
soon be worse than they were under
license unless stop is put to the ac-
tivities of the illicit manufacturers
