Santa lie, Dec. l4.-Charges or
suspensions-as he calls them
against Mrs. Ruth c. Miller, Voca-
tional education director, are wiped
off - except $10.65 - and those
against j. II. Wagner, former sup
erinteedent Of public instruction,
declared settled, upon his paying
the state $l1.45 by Travelling Audi
tor A. G. Whittier in his report Of
his settlement with them.
The charges, or suspensions, were
the sums charged against them by
the travelling auditor in his depart
ment of education report until they
were explained. In Wagner's case
these totaled more than $4,000.
The S10.65 still charged
against Mrs. Miller, according
to Whittier, is still uncx-
planned. Tho item originally
was S11.45, but, he says, Mrs.
Miller explained so cents and
he cut that much off. The
charge was made ''for errors
in addition" by her subordin-
ates, but he holds her rcspon-
sible until further explanation
is given.
He allows Mrs. Miller S189.05
for garage bill on a trip to Las
Vegas, saying although the bill was
not receipted it was attached to
the voucher and the purposes of
the audit are practically complied
with" and $172.90 miscellaneous
items not itemized, on her affida-
Wit of payment, and adds that she
itemized the vouchers listed in the
original report as not properly
itemiZed
This, he says, disposes Of the
main charges against Mrs. Miller. +!
He still clings TO the asser-
lions made in the original re-
port that the department I'M
der Wagner's administration
was "run without system so far
as accounting for money was
concerned that carciessness
was manifested in the expcndi-
turc of the states money, that
his examination showed lack of
knowledge of necessity for per-
feet records of transactions,
lack of system i'm accounting
and office methods.
He quotes these from the original |
report and after saying they are
the only charges he made against
Wagner, declares:
"And the supplemental audit, II |
1t can be called one, bears out and I
proves the statements quoted |
above"
Replying to Wagner's state
meDt he couldn't get the de-
partmcnt audited when he left,
Whittier says" more than 100
state and county officials went
ont of office on the same date
and he and three assistants
couldn't audit all their offices.
He with one was looking into
the "Davisson shortage" an
other into the "Martinez short
age and the other in the
state trcaSurer's office at tho
time.
This. he adds, doesn't "relieve |
him of whatever blame may attach |
10 the lack of system in his ac-
counting for travel expense"
1.-The fact that Mr.. Wagner drew |
moneys for travel in advance from |
his funds and attempted to make |
out his itemized statement only at |
the end Of each year was produce |
tive of trouble and confusion" he |
says. 1.-THE additional fact that at |
this time, eleven months after the |
completion Of his tenure of office, |
he has presented still other settle !
ment vouchers, differing material |
~ from those presented at the end |
of each year, with new and addi- |
tional charges. is proof Of lack of

All roads will or should lead to
Fairy Lake Resort July Fourth.
There will be other celebrations of a
comparatively small scale in nearby
communities but none of them can
compare with the elaborate plans
worked out by Manager Zimmerman
of Fairy Lake Resort. Mr.. thinner
mann believes the people of this Sec
ton are back of his project, and
backed by that faith, ne has invested
fully $1,000 in ADJUSTMENTS and attrac-
lions for this big event.
The Sank Centre and Long Prairie
bands will be amalgamated that day
making an organization of 40 pieces
to dispense patriotic and lively airs
for the occasion.
The thhletic program is unusually
attractive. Farmer Paul Domke will
meet Policeman John Albrecht of Min
neapolis, in a finish wrestling match.
These gentlemen met on the mat in
Sank Centre a few weeks ago, Domke
winning after a hard battle. The
Minneapolis 'grappler has demanded
another meeting and will be accomo-
dated at Fairy Lake Resort the 18th.
There will also be a couple of snappy
boxing bouts, one Of 10 and the other
of six rounds. These two events will
be under the auspices Of Robert Swift
Post, American Legion.
l. The big ball game in the afternoon
will be between the fast Melrose and
the X. C's., of st. Cloud for a $500
purse. This will be a lively contest.
The barbecue at which an 800-lb.
steer will be offered up as a sacrifice,
will be a big attraction. Every adj
mission to the grounds will be entitled
to a plate of barbecue, free, as long
as the animal lasts.
There will be number of races and
events for cash prizes and in the eve
ming there will be sham battle and
an unusual fireworks display.
Because of the very heavy expense
Mr.. Zimmerman will charge an adj
mission fee of so cents an tax at the
gate for adults; children Is Genus and

cept the wrestling and boxing bouts

When the curtain rises on the first

Mrs. Baxter, Miss Blanche Lockead

SAIL BOAT CAPSIZES

Skipper William Moore who sails
the one and only sailing craft on Sank
Lake, met with a bit of fresh water
experience while jockeing his cat
boat rig in stiff breeze up the lake
The boat was handling hard under
a big spread of canvass and in at
tempting to come ''in-stays" while
lacking down the lake, the boat was
caught broad-side and capsized. Other
than little wet canvass and few
damp clothes Captain Bill and his
"crew" did not suffer seriously from
their experience. The boat owned by
Mr.. Moore is nondescript type built
for shallow water service and rugged
without head-sail which makes the
craft bit hard to handle while beat
ing up against a stiff bretze.

The company, which took advantage
of the public's good nature two nights
at the Caughren, were a big disap-
pointment to the theatre-goers. Com

troupe, the public naturally looked fol
something well worth seeing most

But the ghost walked for the Dixie

the opening round Sunday night. AL
most entirely without the usual min

street clothes, the entire company
(both Of them) sounded their own
death knell in Sank Centre when they
opened with the first cackle of the
evening.
One of the endmen, so-called, had a
tinge of minstrel experience. The
rest were just cheap niger per-
formers of the type who usually
stampede the niger nickleodiums in
the southern cities.
On Sunday evening the audience
stayed almost through the second
"round" or act. Monday night they
didn't do quite so well. However, the
grand finale came Tuesday morning

The aggregation struggled on to
Melrose where they gypped the faith

longer.
In justice to Manager Parker of the

that the organization had good recon-
