Holding the townsmen here at bay

STORES KEEP OPEN
THEY WILL NOT CLOSE ON
ARMISTYCE DAY
Monday Is Observance Date, But Le-
gion Says Do Business
As Usual

At a recent meeting of Lorentz
Post No. II, American Legion, it
was decided not to ask merchants to
close their places of business next
Monday in observance of Armistice
Day. 1t was felt that inasmuch as
business conditions have been none
too good during the summer, and
owing to the fact that the merchants
have made special arrangements to
serve the trade during Buyers Prize
Week, which opens Saturday, no
such request would be made this
year of the business houses.
Plans have been made for par
ade of ex-service men at 1880
o'clock Monday evening, which is to
be followed by a dance at the Ar
mory, arranged for by the American
Legion auxiliary. Business men and
and the public Is invited to attend
the dance, the proceeds of which is
to be used for equipping the Ameri-
can Legion headquarters.
Business men participating i In
Buyers Prize Week are reminded
that supplies should be called for
at the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton Offices not later than tomorrow.
It is anticipated that automobile
parking space will be at a premium
during Buyers Prize Week, and the
committee consequently is arranging
for extra space for this purpose. The
situation can be helped considerably
by cooperation of business men
and others who drive their cars to
work by parking in back of their
places of business or by leaving
their cars at home. This is impor-
tant and should receive careful con-
sideration by all concerned.

There is no specific law which
governs the case of L. T. JEFF
ferson, resigned member of the
board of education, relative to
his election as an instructor by
the board for the Veterans bur-
eau agricultural course, but it Is
covered in the General Statute,
Revised Laws of 1913, Section
1917, according to an attorney Of
Mankato.
The law referred to reads as
follows:
Every public official who
shall be authorized to sell or
lease any property, to make any
contract In his official capa-
city, or to take part in making
any such sale, lease or contract,
and every employee Of such Of
f1cer who shall voluntarily be-
come interested individually In
such sale, lease or contract, d.
rectly or Indirectly, shall be
guilty of gross misdemeanor."
A case was cited by the at
torfiey interviewed in a decision
rendered in 1910 against DIR. A.
o Bjellaud OF Mankato who sued
the city for 81 ,695 on q contract
made with the city for 81 900 for
professional services during
typhoid fever epidemic, while he
was a member Of the Mankato
board of health for which he re-
ceived a salary Of $500 yearly.
The supreme court held. that
the contract was void as the
physician was a public officer In
being a member Of the board OF
health and denied the claim.
The attorney interviewed by
The Free Press stated that the
opinion of the attorney general
in the case Of the employment
OF q member of the school hoari
at Rapidan as q driver OF the
school bus, which was decla,ed
ILLEGAL, was similar to the ore
which Involved the member OF
