Der of Historic Spots
While Away

Frank j. Thompson. clerk of dis
trict court, and district deputy
grand exalted ruler of the Southern
Minnesota jurisdiction OF the B. P. o,
E.. has returned home from Atlanta,
Ca, yesterday where he attended
the annual national convention Of
the B. p. o. E. held recently. with
abundance of praise for the hospi-
tality and general good time shown
to the Elks by the citizens of At
lanta.
Atlanta, according to Mr.. Thomp
SON, is very beautiful southern city.
During his week visit at the capital
OF Georgia he visited all the i'm
portant historic points of interest.
He declared that the large picture
Of the Battle OF Atlanta. during the
Civil war. which is set in large
open am phitheatre is marvellous
piece OF artistic painting. The work
was done by three German artists
and it took them three years to com
plete the work. The picture is cir

the center of the enclosure can see

upon, with actual cannon and other
war instruments scattered about the
ground near the bottom of the
scene.
Mr.. Thompson also visited the
famous Stone Mountain, where the
great sculptor. Burglun, is carving
the famous statues Of Generals Rob-
ert e. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and
other generals. The work he said
is being accomplished by night and
day work. During the night, pic
lures Of the famous general are
flashed on the side OF the huge
mountain side and artists outline
the figures in white. In the day
time, drillers, with electric drills,
follow the lines drawn. The noun :
tain is S67 feet high and each figure
is 125 feet from hoof of horse to hat
Of figure.
Mr.. Thmpson and DR.. o'Brien of
st. Paul visited the scene and
watched the workers. So high were
they on the side of the mountain,
that they appeared to be mere
specks to the watchers below.
On the return trip from Atlanta,
Thompson stopped at HARRISBURG.
Pa, and watched General John
Pershfng review the Pennsylvania

VIEWS OF LAYMEN

Mankato, July 20.-I think at this
time attention should be called to
the school board election Saturday,
July 81. This is the most important
election in SO far as the city or
Mankato is concerned that we have.
Everyone Is vitality interested or
should be In the proper outcome. II
directly affects the interests that are
dearest to everyone. What is more
important than the education OF our
children. We should give them the
best opportunities that Is possible
and at the same time in these days
OF stress and hard times, we should
select members that will economize
wherever possible. We need mem
bers of business ability that know
how to get the value out Of money
spent.
OF all the money raised by taxa
ton in Mankato forty per cent is
for the schools and only thirty four
per cent is for all other city activi-
ties. This shows that we should take
more interest in those that are to
spend this great amount. Our high
taxes are due TO a very great extent.
to the large sums paid out for our
schools. We see these elections 60
Ing ny uCidult llhC IL 10 IuiS year III
the first district, because no one is
to such an important position.
Personally l have greater interest
in the school election and the choice
Of members than most anyone else.
IF the taxes are high at once, every
one says this is due to the city al
ministration," when in fact It Is due
to extravaganza in administering
the schools that use more money
than all the other activities of the
entire city.
Some members of the present
school board have been trying to
practice some very needed econom
les and have thus brought upon
themselves the wrath OF the friends
of those who have received the
mony uselessly expended.
Be sure to scrutinize very careful
ly the records of the present mem
bers who are running for election
and vote for those who are trying
to practice a little sane economy;
also scrutinized the records of those
who are asking for an election and
IL their past actions do not indicate
that they were for proper economy
then II is your duty to go to the
polls and express your opinion by
your ballot. Let us not stay at home
and then kick because some things
are not as We wish. 1t is more nee
essary to exercise proper care and
thought in the selection of the
school board, than it is to select
proper city officials. Place the blame
for extravaganza and high taxes
where it belongs and do som ething to
correct 1t.
l hope everyone will give this
matter proper thought and that ev-
cry one will get out and vote &C
cording to their best judgment..-W.
A. Beach, mayor.
