CANCELLED HIS LICENSE
Would Be Groom Objected To Pub
licity At Albert Lea.


licity At Albert Lea.
Thursday Palmer E. Jensen and
Miss Hattie G. Johnson, came up
from Winnebago county, Iowa, and
after securing a marriage license
from Clerk of Court Spencer. or
dered him not to let The Tribune
have the item. Mr.. Spencer stated
that his books were matters of pub
lie record and that he could not pro-
mise to keep the news out of local
papers. Mr.. Jenson then came over
to the Tribune and asked that the
license be suppressed from our pa
per as he didn't want any of his
friends and relatives to know about
the marriage taking place. We in
formed him that the Tribune gave
all the news all the time and would
have to give his license along with
the others. We did not tell him we
would hold 1t back for a few days
to give him an opportunity to get
nicely on the honeymoon trip. He
said he would cancel his license
and get il somewhere else If we in
sisted on publishing the news. He
cancelled the license and Mr.. Spen-
Ger is out 81 rs. But Mr.. Spencer
wants to treat everyone alike. His
books are open to the public at
any time. We hope the little differ
ences in Albert Lea will not delay
the marriage of this Winnebago
county couple and that they will
live long and happily as man and
wife. Thus endeth the first chap
ter-we may not get the next. =

WAS STURDY PIONEER
kirs. James Blake, Who Died A
Fairfax, This Week.

Fairfax, This Week.
Especial TO The Free Press
Sleepy Eye, June 10.-The death
OF Mrs. James Blake which occur
red at her home in Fairfax. and
whose funeral was held Tuesday
at that place removed one Of the
pioneers of this part or the state
and lady who was identified in
large measure with the early his
tory OF Sleepy Eye.
Justine Madeline LaFramboise
sided in Ridgely township with her
parents at the time of the Sioux
outbreak. With her mother. broth
ers and sister she fed to Fort
Ridgely, enduring a journey oi
hardship and perils such as befell
but a very few. After hours OF
cautious advancement. with the
murderous war whoops of the RED
men ringing in their ears they
reached the protecting walls. Of the
Fort, where they remained until
the outbreak was over. During
the siege of the fort with her moth
er she moulded bullets for the SOL
diers and proved one of the brav-
| ing days. Three of her brothers,
Joseph, Alexis and William, acted
as scouts during the outbreak.
She inherited the sturdy quail
ties of her PARENTS, who braved the
hardships of the then wild country
and with industry above the com
prehension of the present genera
ton, started the foundation Of
prosperous state, prosperity and
| independence such as no other
country enjoys: With the same in
dustry she displayed in assisting
her parents she used to advantage
in acquiring an education. Spend
ing a year in a ladies' seminary at
normal school at Manakto from
which she graduated. After her
graduation she taught school a
number of years and was the first
teacher in Sleepy Eye.
This first school was conducted
in a little log cabin. There are
several who attended this school
and although they can recall many
| incidents of interest that occurred
during those eventful days, one
that win remain vivid in their mem
ories as long as time shall last Is
the day when the first train arriy-
ed in Sleepy Eye. The teacher de-
clared the day legal holiday and
Win net pupils SuS was oI tAC uS
pot platform with the rest Of the
Inhabitants of Sleepy Eye to wei
come the first train. 1t was a day
that heralded the advent OF great
things. 1t brought the outside
world to one of the most beautiful
and productive sections in the state
and paved the way for a steady
growth for Sleepy Eye and Brown
county.
When one considers the small
school of those days and the mag
nificent structure OF learning here
now, from which forty four stu
dents graduated Friday night, one
can not help but think that 1t was
to the courage, integrity and in
dustry of such persons as Mrs.
Blake that conditions Of today are
largely due.
In 1874 she was married to
James Blake. Nine children were
born to them, of which eight child
rem and her husband remain to
mourn her loss. They are Richard
of Powers, Mont. Mrs. VIM. Lane
of Ridgely, Arthur at, home, Mrs.
L c. Bennke Of Beltratni, Abbie of
Shelby, Mont, James of st. Paul,
Wilbur and Agnes at home.

grasses. Once started in grain, the
rust spreads rapidly in favorable
weather from one grain plant to the
next and the volume of destruction
depends only upon conditions favor
able to rust growth. Where there
are no barberTy bushes, there can
be no rust.
The work of the next two or three
years in digging barberry bushes
will determine whether Minnesota
and other wheat growing states will
continue TO produce this important
crop or be content with a fine crop
Of barberries. and no grain accord

!" Buck PriUates - Are
Scarce In the Army
Grave Concern Being Experienc-
ed Over Problem Of Dis
appearing Doughboy.
TAssociated Press plspatch. ]

Washington, D. c., June Eek
animation of war department sta
tistics obtained today diseloses
that doughboys, just plain buck
privates" of infantry, are becoming
almost as scarce in the army as
second lieutenants were a while
back.
The buddy" with the bayonet is
the man relied on to win victories.
Every other element of the army
exists merely to help him on with
the job. Yet as congress has or
dained successive classes, the num-
bers of the plain bucks" has
dwindled until there is grave con-
cern over the problem of the dis
doughboy. ...
- Even the aggregate infantry
strength has shown a dispropor-
tion.te shTinkage. On April 30,
1917, there were 53,165 enlisted
men in the infantry. Today, with
the total strength of the army
considerably higher, there are At.
837 men in the foot regiments and
probably. it is said, not 10000 Of
these are to be classified as just
plain buck privates."
The impending additional reduc-
ton in the size of the army win
show a further drop, officers say
and leave the military machine a
highly specialized skeleton the
bones of which are the officers,
non commissioned officers, special
service like artillery, air service,
motor transport and the bombers,
automatic rife men, machine gun
ners, signallers and other keymen
in the infantry units with few
humble bayonet welding bucks"
Major General Harbord, deputy
chief of staff, pointed out the sit
nation in the testimony before the
senate military committee.

Dodge Center, June 10.-The
state supreme court has reaffrmed
the decision of the district court in
the matter of setting aside the de-
cision of the railroad and ware
house commission in ordering the
consolidation of the Northwestern
and Great Western depots at Dodge
Center.
The fight for the establishment
of union depot in that city began
about four years ago. The railroad
and warehouse board decided
against the railroads and ordered
the consolidation of the depots. Res
idents of the village favored the
construction of a station within
easy access to the business part
Of town.
The railroads took the case to
the district court, where the decision
was against the ruling of the com :
mission. In the supreme court this

was upheld.
