rying on special studies under the super
vision of the members Of the faculty of the
Wharton School and the superintendent of
the nlants. This is the first step in the
adoption of the laboratory process Of busi-
ness education.
Watching the Graduates
''Gn order to ascertain whether the men
graduated from the Wharton School were
being successfully trained for their voca-
tions In life and whether they were filling
their positions in a manner satisfactory to
their employers and TO themselves, the in
dustrial service department was established,
department which is in constant com
munication with several large employing
firms to find out what kind Of men these
firms need. All Of our graduates placed
with these firms are followed up TO find out
whether they are making good or are failing
in their work.
I'm these instances inquiries are made
both, of the men themselves and of their
employers. We hope and expect that by
this means the business training afforded by
the Wharton School will dovetail more and
more into the actual needs Of the world of
business.
The class of students now attracted by
q business training In the Wharton School
Is more earnest than it formerly was. The
men themselves realize that the preparation
which they are receiving is for the purpose
OF enabling them to make the most of them
selves and Of their opportunities in the

The Indifferent Eliminated

The indifferent and the careless students
are eliminated by the severity of the work,
ana only those. finish the course who are
determined to make the most of themselves
ana are willing to work hard to accomplish
this result.
I'm general, it may be said that business
training IS becoming more definite and ef
fective. The work of the students is made
harder year by year, as it should be. and
at the same time increasing emphasis is
being laid upon the teaching Of those liberal

miles from town. The land drains
excellently both as regards air and
water, and experts say it is ideally
situated for peaches. AT any rate,
that is what the company was or
ganized for, and the stockholders
are enthusiastic in their holdings.
100-acres is now being grubbed and
plowed and 10,S00 peach trees will
be set out within the month. AS we
stated at the outset, two Fordson
tractors are literally tearing the
ground to pieces, and insuring a

The next three months will be
filled with wire-pulling, button
holeing and all round goodfellow-
ship on the part of some dozen
candidates.
The Democratic primary will
be held June 3rd, and the woods
are literally full of candidates.
Possibly never before in the his
tory of Richmond county politics
have the personnel of the candi-
dates been as good, and the mat.
ter of choice as difficult.
To begin with, there are four
excellent candidates for Sheriff,
Sheriff r. L. McD Donald is a can
didate to succeed himself. Then
there are Carl c. Shores and ]. B.
Reynolds, two deputies who have
served faithfully, and Homer D.
Baldwin, who was Sheriff for
several terms a number of years
ago. These four men have many
friends over the county, and each
man is a good mixer and clever
politician. "
The race for Clerk Of Court
will be equally as close. Four
men are candid dates for this posi-
|tion. They are the present
Clerk, ]. "A. McAulay, former
Clerk e. I. Covington, C.E. d.
'Egertcn, Ysdkin River Power
Company manager here, and w.
S. Thomas, retiring postmaster.
And here again a voter is put to
a hard row of sturnps to make a
choice.
So far the Posi- DISPATCH has
heard of no candidate opposing
R. L. Johnson for Register of
Deeds, nor any one opposing the
present Coroner and Surveyor,
nor any dne against any one Of
the five County Commissioners.
For Judge of this Judicial dis

the present Judge, Walter E.

Solicitor A. M. Stack, of Monroe.
The fight for Solicitor will Be
equally as close, there being four

one from Scotland and two from

The special term primarily was
for the Dennis Jessup case and
Leak Ben Key case, But the
former was concluded in a few
minutes, and the latter continued
ito April 10th term.
Upon converting Monday af-
ternoon the Dennis Jessup case
was called. He is a young white
man from Fayetteville who was
tried at January term, 1921, with
Arch Manor for the theft of H.
H. Anderson's Ford at Hamlet
th, Sunday night before Christ
mas 1920. Both we're convicted
and sentenced to 5 years in the
pen. Both appealed, but later
Manor decided to go on and
serve his sentence. The Supreme
Court gave Jessup a new trial,
and so it began Monday. BY
consent a number Of Fayetteville
men were allowed to testify to
Jessup's character, and then the
State introduced Chief Braswell,
Hal Laskey and II. Hs Anderson
These told Of the car being
stolen, but could not directly con.
meet Jessup with it. Arch Ma.
nor, whom the Sheriff had
brought back Sunday from the
peditentiary camp in Graham
county, was then introduced, the
State having reason to believe
he would testify that Jessup was
party to the theft. But this was
not the case. Instead Manor's
testinoney wrs that Jessup had
nothing to do with it, knew moth
ing of the car being taken, and
reafirmed his previous state.
ment that he himself had not
stolen it but while drunk had
taken it in the belief that it be,
longed to his brother-in-law
Dleykan. Upon Manor's state
ment, the Judge directed that a
verdict of not guilty be rendered.
Younger Smith was next tried.
He is a young white man who
was charged with stealing cloth
from Hannah Pickett mill, Upon
Mr.. Jenkins inability to swear
that the actual cloth in question
came from his mill, the Judge di-
rected a verdict of not guilty.

Mrs. Laird went upstairs to put the
child asleep. She spent some time
there and it would appear that the
stovepipe leading through thin
partition became overheated and
burst into flames.
When. Mrs. Laird descended to the
kitchen the fire had gained consid-
cradle Roadway owing to the fiimsy
condition of the partitions which
consisted of cloth and paper pasted
over it. She called to her husband
who was out in the yard. He rushed
into the house and had to fight his
way through the flames to the upper
floor, where he rescued the child
Just in time to save it from burning
to death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Laird then escaped
from the burning building together
with their other two children, but
were not able to save anything but
the clothing they had on. The con :
tents of the building were covered
by insurance carried with Theodore
williams. The building, which is
practically total loss. is owned by
Len Burrill of this city. Mr.. Bur.
i'll had the structure covered by in

NEW MANKATO CREAMERY
NOW READY FOR BUSINESS
Handsome Plant On North Front Street, One
Of Best of Its Kind In Great
Northwest r..

We're installed by the Mankato Elec-
trio company The plumbing in the
place was installed by Krost &
Harry and the heating plant by the
Mankato Manufacturing company OF
this city. The King Ventilating com
pany of Owatonna installed the VEN
Itilators throughout the building.
All floors in the creamery are OF
smooth concrete, while the vain
scoting in the work rooms up to Il
considerable height is enameled
brick, another feature which will
permit Of neatness. An elevator
leads from the basement to the top
floor of the house. The second floor
for the time being will not be used
but later on the offices will be To-
rated there and the remainder of the
space utilized for other purposes.
II Is safe TO say that the new home
Of the Mankato Creamery associa-
ton is the finest in every way of any
structure of its kind in southern
Minnesota.
Perhaps the happiest man in the
employ of the association is M: A.
Shons, the expert butter maker,
who for several years past has
tickled TIE palates of butter users
turning out. He says that it will be
an inspiration to make even better
butter in the new home of the com
pany. ,-r
The flowing well sunk on the site
Of the creamery has force sufficient
Of it's own to raise the water to the
ceiling of the first floor thus lnsur-
ing an abundant supply of good fresh
water for butter making.
The new creamery is certainly a
credit to the association and to the
part of the street it is erected on.
There are four hundred and ten
cream producers now patronizing the
institution.
The present officers of the Man
kato Creamery association are: Au-
gust Schultz, president; Nick

secretary; A. L. Veigel general man
ager. The directors are the above Of

Wind Picked un Fish

st. Peter Herald: Thousands of
crappies were cast upon the shores
of Lake Washington in LeSueur
county during the heavy wind last
Thursday. News of the phenome-
non was brought to this city by
Game Warden Martin Hahn and a
large number of people went out to
the lake to pick up mess of fish.
The fish were cast up from the shall
lows on the northeast end of the
lake. It seems that the sixty mile
gale which swept the water, picked
up huge waves and carried the fish
out of the shallow bottom far upon
the sloping beach. Many of them
were cast thirty feet from the shore
line, where thousands died, besides
the large number picked UP by people
who heard the strange happening.
J. A. Wagner went out to the lake
that evening and picked up barrel
and grain sack full of large sized
crappies in very few moments.
