a jumper yield in prospect. wheat
prices today underwent a material
downturn in the early dealings. Bears
were predicting a FREQ movement to

fact that elevator facilities here were
still clogged with grain tended further
to put bulls at a disadvantage. Open

September $1.13% to S1.13S, was fol

CONTEST WINNERS
MRS. q. w. MASSEY WON FIRST m
INTERESTING AND sEDUCA-
TIVE CONTEST r.

Mrs. G.. w. Massy of Little Falls,
with an excellent list, won first prize
in the Little Falls Herald P-Word
Puzzle Picture contest, all, the prize
winners, however, from the first to
sixth, being but IA points apart. Miss
es Clare Bake and Mary Kull Of,
Hillman tied for third place and ac-
cording to the rules were awarded a
division in proper ratio in the class
in which they qualified. 7...
The other winners were Miss Regina
Peterson, Vawter, second; Mrs. Leo
Schwientek, .Bowlus, fifth and Mrs.
Jesse Blaisdell, Ramey, sixth.
The lists with a medium number of
words proved to. be the winners, the
larger lists suffering with an overload
of words for, which the picture showed
no object or wherein the worker dupli-
Gated and as consequence suffered
from being penalized. E
The P-Word Puzzle has proved
most interesting pastime to the many
readers of The Herald during the past
few weeks. Many who did not send
lists found the puzzle interesting and
those who did send in lists have \ dis
covered the educative value Of word
chasing whether they won prizes or
not, and now know the meanings Of
more P-nouns than they ever knew
before.
The judges, County supt. of Schools
Sheldon, Municipal Judge P. S. Ran
dali and E. F. Shaw, put in many
hours over the lists, and with the aid
OF the Master List, Webster's New Iu-
ternational Dictionary and their wide
knowledge Of the meaning of words
did the work efficiently, fairly and
well.
. Besides the winners, honorable men
tion for very creditable lists, num-
Der OF whom were very few points be-
hind the winners, is given to Mrs C.

PETITION TO RUN DEToUR ON
EAST SIDE OF RIVER
;s REJECTED 3

St. Cloud Times, (19):-J John II.
Mullen, assistant state highway com
missioner, who was in the city yester-
day in connection with the g Return to
Prosperity, celebration, officially re-
jected the petition presented by Roy
alton business men, asking that the
state highway detour plan be changed
from the west side Of the river to the
cast side in order that Royalton might
receive portion Of the tourist busi-
ness. g
Two weeks ago, a committee Of five
prominent business men of Royalton
appeared before r. D. Jorgens, high
way maintenance engineer, petition
ing for the change. They volunteered
to pay for the upkeep Of the detour
from the Rice bridge to Royalton if
their request was granted. The COM
nlittce was armed with arguments in
favor of the change and for time it
appeared likely that the change would
be made, until recently, when it was
discovered that McCree- -Moos, contrac'
tors arc to use the bridge for hauling
sand to the scene of the paving. This
would not permit the change. .z.
Engineer Jorgens presented the con
trovcrsy to Commissioner Mullen, who
unconditionalE rejected the: detour
| change plan, stating that if the bridge
! was to be used by the contractors, the
large number Of teams and trucks
hauling sand and gravel would be
enough traffic for the bridge. He re-
ported that the structure has been
designated as sorely in need of repairs
and that extremely heavy traffic would
cause considerable trouble at a time
when the State would be unable to
meet the. repair expense.
The contractors have agreed to pay
for all repairs necessary as result of
their using the bridge, but if the road
was designated as & detour, the state
would be involved in the obligation.
No restriction will be made prohib-
ting tourists from taking the Royalto"
detour if they desire, but it will not
be designated as the official detour of
the state highway department., R. L.
Jorgcns declared this morning.
