about to get out of lead and one Of the
men told us to wait and he would get
the bullets. He was gone about

back with chips that looked like slate

TESTING CITY ORDINANCE
ON EARLY CLOSING
Volner Handy and F. C. Craig Fined
in City Court and Both
Appeal

Within the past few days Volnel
Handy, who runs a pool room anc
restaurant, and F. G. Craig, who op-
crates the Craig drug store, have been
arrested and each fined $500 in the
city court and both appealed.
The question involved seems to be
whether or not the city has a legal
right to enforce an ordinance requir-
ing business houses to close not later
than 10 o'clock p. m, The ordinance
under which the arrests were made
specifies that all business houses ex-
cept public utilities, shall close not
later than 10 o'clock p. m. The valid
ity of the ordinance is to be tested in
the circuit court. Whether or not the
cases will be heard at the June term
which convenes next Monday, remains
to be seen.
There has been some discussion over
the ordinance and certain persons feel
that the closing of business houses at
the hour of ten at night is an unreas-
enable and unfair interference with
the rights of business. Others con-
END that if the city has not the right
% specify ten o'clock it has not the
tight to specify any other hour and
hat would mean that any business
house can remain open all night if it !
10 chooses. Practically every town
md city has a closing hour. Some
lain that the right to require bust
less houses to close is entirely within
he province of the city, but because
en- o'clock is unreasonably early that
he courts will not sustain the ordi-
lance. The outcome will be watched
With no small degree of interest.

A GOOD DAYS WORK BY
SECRETARY A. |. GARRISON
Showed a Badly Discouraged Woman
Better Way Than the
Suicide Route.

A woman sat weeping in the gov.
ernor's outer office. A boy of 81,
years with his arms tightly claspeC
about her neck sought to comfort his
mother, and frequently pressed hi,
face to hers and admins tered kiss
the imprint of which was as often
washed away in the tears which
streamed from eyes red with weeping.
She was miserable. She was discon-
solate and respondent. She said she
had been waging the fight against
starvation for five months without
any hope of winning the battle. She
had tried to make living for her
self and boy and had gone hungry in
the attempt.
She wanted pardon for the hus-
band who had been convicted of high
way robbery and had received a SEN
tence of five years in prison.
She was discussing her plight with
A. l.. Garrison, secretary of the gov
ernor, and he was endeavoring to
make things as easy as possible for
her.
Finally she suggested that he let
her have sufficient funds with which
to purchase the necessary means for
self-de destruction-that's how desperate
she had grown in brooding over her
condition and the fight against the
world for sustaining wage and a
chance to keep herself and boy re-
spectacle. Her plan for destruction
also included the boy whom she fear
ed to leave alone.
She sat there for an hour or more,
but when she left she had gotten
above the clouds that hovered about |
her when she entered the outer Offices.
The job Of being secretary to gov
eronr is not an easy one by any means
The incident above recited is only one
of many with which Mr.. Garrison has
had to deal in the course of a year.
Bue he handled it ito queens TASTE"
and when the woman left she was
smiling; she had resolved to take an
other try at the problem, and she was
frank enough 10 admit to the Secrc-
tary that she was glad she came and
that things were not as black as they
had appeared.
The governors secretary had dis
suaded her from the rash intent OF
He had expressed
the belief that she never really in
tended to destroy herself and her boy
that nothing could be gained by such
a step and everything lost; that
wait of few months, or a year or
two, would mean the beginning of
lifetime OF happiness; that recent
happenings might be viewed as but
rifle upon life's sea. Anyhow, he
put new life and hope into heart
which was at the bursting point and
gave encoura cement to a soul which
was deep in the mire of dependency.
Anyhow, those who visit the executive
offices at regular intervals and who OBJ
served the interview are bound to
admit that A. L. Garrison did good
dax's work

CLIFTY BALL GAME
NOT PLAYED TO FINISH
Ruling of Umpire Objected to by
Crossville and Game Closed
at End of Seventh

The Crossville boys motored to
Clifty Sunday to play the fast team
from that place. The game was by
far the most exciting that has been
played this year, and had developed
into a pitchers battle between Kilgore
of Clifty and Burnett of Crossville,
with Burnett having a bit the best
of it.
Only two hits were gathered off the
delivery of Burnett, and one of those
was of the scratch variety, while the
visitors secured four off Kilgore, Bra
dy and l.. Toilet each securing two.
Fast fielding featured both sides. Up
to the Ist half of the eight inning only
one run had been scored, the Clifty
boys getting that one on an error.
Then suddenly what seemed to be
sure victory for the visitors went to
naught and resulted in the game be-
ing called I to o in favor Of Clifty.
The visitors opened the eighth with
rush and it looked as tho they were
going to bat Kilgore from the mound.
With second and third base occupied
and one man out, Kilgore threw to
third base to catch Moore who was
playing off, Moore, by nice hook
slide easily beat the throw to the base,
but the umpire waved him out and
then the pandemonium broke out The
umpire, who was supposed to call the
bases never saw the play, the arbi-
traitor calling the balls and strikes
rendered the decision to which the
visitors took exception. 1t was clear
ly obvious to all who saw the play
that Moore was safe, but the umpire
didn't see it that way, SO, thus a
good game of ball ended

NO PERFECT SCORES -.
II FOR BUTTER WINNERS

Of all the contests to be staged
at the coming Minnesota State Fair
September 2 to 9, the butter COM
petition will be the only one in which
the winner will not be able to make
a perfect score, no matter how per-
feet the butter may be. ..
The flavor may be perfect, the
body and color may be faultIess, the
exact amount of salt may have been
used, and the package in which it
is n.shibited may meet with the ap-
prevail of the judges, yet no .exper-
fenced official will consent to a
score of 100 points. The reason for
this is that professional judges
throughout the country have adopt
ed an arbitrary rule not to score
butter 100 per cent, even though
the flavor-flavor counts As points
can not be criticised. The judges
will re..4body, color, salt: and
package perfectly but rarely will
score flavor. more than AZ or a.43
points. AS. a result, it is almost i'm
possible for an exhibitor Of butter
to get much higher than Sc to 81
points. = = 3: ~ - :
