.BORAH IS SILENT

Johnson Shows Goodness To-
ward Idaho Scion,
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14,-There is
much speculation about Senator 30
rah s selection Of q candidate to sup
port In 1924.
Will Borah go with Johnson
again?" is one OF the questions.
Borah is proving himself capable
Of a sphinx-like silence The natural
assumption at the outset was he would
once more support Johnson, as a
progressive, That assumption was
based on previous close association,
long friendship and the supposed iden-
tity of progressive aims.
So far as Borah is concerned there
has been no break in the friendnness
OF his relations with Senator Johnson.
The GOODNESS arose with Johnson and
1t has been no secret around the Sen
ate there was a GOODNESS.

SUMMER SCHOOL
SESSIONS SUCCESS
High and Graded institutions
Are Achieving Excel
lent Results

The summer session Of the Man =
kato High and grade schools which
Is now being held at the Lincoln
school, is the largest, as well as the
most successful of any OF the sum
mer schools held here in past
years. There are ZIG students en-
rolled in the high school and SO in
the grades. The school term began
June II and will continue until July
20. The school hours are from eight
o'clock in the morning until 1925
o'clock at noon.
THE Lincoln building Is a most
desirable place to hold a SUNNI er
school" said principal Guy Smith.
we hold all of our classes in the
rooms where the sun does not strike
and we find no complaint either
from the students or teachers be-
cause of the heat. One might think
after these students have been in
school all winter, they would be
restless and discomfort to study
during this heated period, but / have
never seen students take up the
work as well. Yesterday, one boy
asked me when the term closed; he
said he was sorry, and wished it
would continue all summer. OF
course this is not the case with all,
but it is an example of the way they
have taken hold of the work. be-
lieve the summer school Is a won
derful institution and very helpful
for students, especially those who
are behind with their work. Many
people have the idea that only stu
dents go to summer school who are
behind with their work, but this Is
not the case. said Principal Smith.
Those in the grade go for this
reason, but the majority of the high
school students are very ambitious,
and want to advance as rapidly as
possible. Again some are deficient
In probably one study and wish to
make it up, but they are all SO en-
thuiastic and "peppy" about it, that
the teachers are really enjoying
their work with them this summer.
The teachers in the grades are
Miss Clara Kelly, Miss Minnie Mel
son, Miss Marie Burmeister and
Miss Isabelle Chesser. In the high
school department the teachers are,
Principal Guy Smith, who is in
instructor in United States History,
/, Miss Bill, teacher in English II,
A. C. Clark, Civics, Mrs. Eberhart,
ancient history, Mrs. Nellie Gillis-
pie, Jr. history Ill. D. N. Ling,
wood work. drawing. E. o. Paden,
Jr. Mathematics Ill, Miss Jenni
Sass. Foods, Mrs. Mary Trafton, bio
logy, Mrs. Ethel Webster, book
keeping and Miss M. A. Almeter,
typewriting. During the second per-
iod other subjects are taught by the
same instructors. AS the students
are working hard and wish to COM
plete their work taken up they will
have no exercises OF any kind at
the completion Of the term as they
do not wish to detract the time from
their studies for its preparation.

TRIES TO FIRE BUILDING
Biazes at Worthington Discovered In
Plenty of Time

Worthington, July 1.-TWO at
tempts were made early Saturday
morning to fire the plant Of the
Farmers Cooperative Company.
Both were found and extinguished
soon after being started, with a
minimum of damage to the build
ings Likewise both had been care
fully planted where, had they gotten
any headway at all, it would have
them. The first fire was discovered
blazing merrily behind the large door
under the car loading spout in the
new building, and the second In a
lean to at the west end of the old
elevator.
Discovery Of the first fire was
made by the night crew on the Oma =
ha yard engine, engaged in spotting
cars on the house track. The dis
! coyerers hurried to the freight house
the night crew from that establish
ment rushing to the fire with the
/ powerful chemical outfit which is
kept for emergency use at the. term
inal. The blaze was quickly quench
ed but for the sake of certainty
Manager Orville Smith was notified
but a thorough search Of the pre-
mises revealed no further danger. M
A
| a while, and later developments
more than justified this decision.
About an hour after his arrival at
| the plant, he discovered the second
attempt, which had been hndled in
a place even more dangerous than
the first. So an alarm was turned
In, and the fire company summoned
Meanwhile Mr.: Smith got busy with
/ the company fire extinguisher, &C
the efforts of the firemen were con
fined mostly to a thorough investi
cation under the floors Of the old
structure, to make sure that no fire
was burning In the accumulation oi
dust and debris under the old floor
| BY the time this was completed, II
was too late for any more fire bus
/ work.
/ Oil soaked waste discovered ir
both places leaves no doubt as tC
the incendiary origin of the out
breaks. Mr.. Smith also treasures g
rude species of billy, found on the
premises, and designed with what
intent he knows not.
/ The fact that the fires were dis
covered almost imm ediately Is the
i only reason greater damage was no
done to the buildings. The larger O
the two elevators is a wooden struc.
Iture, covered with corrugated iron
erected in 1915. A fierce blaze ,un
/ der good headway, would have beer
exceedingly difficult to handle. The
accumulation Of dust in the ole
structure would have caused a regu.
lar confagration.

FOUR PEOPLE WERE HURT
Brandes Family, New Ulm, Had Al
UnpIeasant Experience.

Brandes Family, New Ulm, HAD An
Unpleasant Experience.
New Ulm, July While Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Brandes and their chill
dren, Leonard. aged twelve, and
Cornelia, aged eleven, were motor
ing to the Emmanuel Lutheran
church at CORTLAND township from
their farm home about three miles
distance from the church Sunday
morning. shortly before $3.50 o'clock,
their Ford car was struck by an auto
containing two negro couples, which
was speeding toward them. The
Brandes machine had just passed
the Theodore Precht car and was be-
ing guided back to the right side Of
the road, when the oncoming tour
lists came along and hit the Brandes
auto amidships. The bumper of the
tourist machine passed Under the
rear wheel Of the Brandes car, caus-
ing the latter to overturn crosswise
of the road.
Mrs. Brandes sustained a COM
plete fracture of the right collarbone,
while the daughter received an ugly
cash, some two inches long, in the
right forehead, and the son was
bruised about the head. Mr.. Brandes
suffered q wrenched knee. The injur-
ed were brought to the Union hospi-
tai here, where Mrs. Brandes' frac-
ture was reduced and the daughters
cash sewed up, requiring several
stitches. They were able to return
home in the afternoon.
Although the negro tourists slack
ened their pace, following the colli--
sion, they did not stop long enough
to be questioned as to their identity.
and in the excitement that prevailed,
no one thought of obtaining their IL
cense number.

John Gangler, residing on Section
Is, in Larkin township, at a point
about eQuidistant from Wilmont,
Lismore and Adrian, went on a fish
ing trip to Granite Falls, or some
such place. He thoughtlessly left
behind him a trail as broad as the
Mississippi valley, the principal
points of interest in which con-
sisted of a complete copper still,
capacity about twenty five gallons,
400 gallons of mash already in fine
shape for distilling, and other arti-
cles which In the opinion Of the
law constitute prima facie evidence
that the gentleman was in the dis
tilling business in grim earnest.
Gangler returned Sunday-the
still was confscated Saturday morn
ing-and was picked up on the
streets OF Wilmont that afteronon
by Sheriff Rowe. After lodging in
the county jail the rest of the after

fore noon, before Judge Hughes. On

and one half gallons of the product

to having the stuff in his possession,
but was inclined to balk at the
charge Of maintaining a nuisance:
However, he was fined 500 and
costs. In addition. he was required
to give bond in the sum of 1000
for appearance before the October
term of the district court.
