T WOOD, July II. - The

cNnIt over the victory of Lee Barnes
IS year old local youth, in taking
first place in the pole vault at the
Paris Olympic games.
Shortly after. United Press dis

leading business men of the film
city met to plan[a monster reception
for the youth wien he returns home.
1t Will be II royal welcome to the
young athlete, who outclassed the
world S best pole vaulters.
1t is the belief here that Barnes
did not have to exert himself to win
the event. His mark of IL. feet S1a

PROCLAMATION

The boys and girls Of any age, the
citizens of the future, always re-
ceive inspiration from the study of
the lives of great men and women
who have preceded them. When
ever any man has risen from humble
circumstances, has served his coun-
try gloriously in the hour of emer-
gency, and continued to serve it faith
fully and conscientiously in times of
peace, it is most fitting that his re-
cord be held up as an example for
others to follow.
Such man was Knute Nelson. His
birth was most humble, his youth
was beset with hardships, yet he con-
quered all difficulties and rose to a
position next to the highest in the
land. At the age of seventeen he
responded to Lincoln's call for volun-
teers and rendered conspicuous SER
vice. AS member of the Legisla-
ture, as County Attorney, as State
Senator, as a member of Congress, as
Governor of his State, and for nearly
thirty years as a member of the Unit
ed States Senate, he gave his State
and country exceptionally value SER
vice. He was always modest, unself-
ish, gentle and kind, yet firm and un-
swerving once had he made up his
mind what was right.
A record of service and achieve
ment SO unusual and conspicuous
should be preserved by a permanent
memorial. 1t is proposed to erect a
bronze statue of Senator Nelson up
on the State Capitol grounds, and a
replica thereof in the city which was
his home. 1t is a tribute which we
owe to his memory. But memorial
like this is more than a mere token
of our love and respect for this SOL
der and statesman. 1t will be a bea-
con light which will guide our young
men and women in generations to
come, into the paths of patriotic SER
vice and eviction to their country.
Therefore l, J. A. o. Preus, Gov
ernor of Minnesota, do hereby des-
ignate the period from November
18th to December 1st as a time for
the collection of funds for this perm
anent memorial. Let me urge all cit
liens of the State not only to show
their appreciation of Nelson's SER
vices but let us by this means point
out to future generations what may
be accomplished in this land of OPP
portunity by any youth who has in
dustry, integrity, and the will to
serve.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have
hereto caused the Great Seal of the

u. S. CITIZENS IN
PALESTINE FAVORED
Status to Remain Until Rati-
hcation of Mandate.

Jerusalem.-Citizens of the United
States living in Palestine are accord
ed privileges over and above those Of
citizens and subjects of states who
are members Of the League Of Ma
tons.
This is true now pending American
ratification of the British mandate for
Palestine, but will probably cease to
be the case after the United States
government will have signed the con-
vention recognizing the mandate.
The convention, it is believed, will
secure for Americans in Palestine the
same rights as fall to subjects of
states who are league members, but
no more,
The status Of Americans in Pales-
tine will then probably be the same
as in Syria, to the French mandate
for which United States was report
ed recently to.have agreed.
For the present Americans here en-
Joy the rights of capitulations which,
before the dismemberment of the
Turkish empire, all great powers in
sisted on maintaining for their citi-
zens. America has not renounced its
capitulatory rights in Palestine, and
the American consul is the only one
holding court and trying cases be-
tween American residents.
The position of the American con-
sular court in Jerusalem is little
vague, because it runs parallel with
the British system Of justice now in
force.
The British government, however.
is not known to have raised any OBJ
lection to the existence of the con-
sular court. The Palestine author
tiles have even gone out of their way
to effect judgments made by the con-
sular court. An American sentenced
to prison by the consular court may
be locked up in a Palestine Jail.
United States Consul Oscar s. Heller,
having received no instructions to the
contrary, continues to sit in judgment
over American residents who get into
trouble, but he is not sure how long
this condition will continue.

THE METROPOLITAN MU.
scum OF ART
By T. T. MAXEY

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
primarily q "show place." occupies
high rank among our great educa-
tiOnal institutions. The largest and
most important museum of art in the
United States-the imposing structure
which houses the priceless treasures
occupies plot carved from the sacred
precincts of Central park, New York.
The astonishing exhibits here dis
played are a revelation and an educa-
ton. One could spend a month here
and not have time TO absorb the full
significance of all he saw.
A list of these exhibits would fill
this entire paper. To give you an i'm
preston of the extent, variety and I'M
usualness, mention the following:
A teapot made by John Coney who
engraved the plates for the first paper
mofey used in America and died more
than two centuries ago; room pa
pered with wall paper which hung in
an ancient home for more than 200
years; a collection of musical instru-
ments, arranged by country and ac-
cording to date; one of the richest col
lections Of English glass in existence;
displays of ornamental pottery from
distant lands; exhibits of oil paintings
and sculpturing extraordinary, bas-
kerry, laces, crystal, jade-everything
one can think of and many things
which one does not think Of

Outstanding features are baskets
and jewelry, the property of princess
only daughter of an Egyptian king
who reigned about 1900 B. c., found
in 1914 in the mud in the valley of the
River Nile near one of the pyramids
and supposedly overlooked by van
dals when the tomb of the princess
was ransacked many years before ::
the Tomb of Perneb, an Egyptian off
Ger of the period about $500 B. c., re
moved intact from it's resting place il
Egypt, borne by camels across the
desert sands, shipped across the ocean
and set up in the museum, exactly as
its builders left it. This tomb shows
both the tremendous size and the
dignity of the battle-ground architec.
ture of the ancient Egyptians. Its
brightly painted walls are silent re.
minders of the gayness OF color with
which these people associated the
tomb of death as compared with the
somberness common in our day.

Shed Moose Horns
Afford Hunter Living

Seattle, Wash.-A strange consign-
ment arrived here from Seward. 1t
was shipment Of moose antlers billed
to knife handle and bone novelty
factory in Tacoma. The shipment rep
resented two months work Of Nose
Harris, who for years has tramped over
the moose meadows of Kenaf PENN
sula gathering the old horns dropped
by the moose during the shedding proc
ess in February.
Harris says the antlers, although Of
the hardest bone material, must be
gathered from the damp forests soon
after they are left by the animals
In less than year they would return
to dust. so rapid is the decay in the
swampy country. Once safely in dry
factory the bone is indestructible.
From the broad smooth antlers, combs
handles and dice are cut. There is a
growing market for the bone articles
while scrap bone is shipped to China
and Japan.

tains. His assistants will be. some of
Switzerland's best climbers, none over
thirty-fve years old.
The Swiss intend emitting the heavy
oxygen apparatus carried by the Eng
lish expedition. Instead, they will
carry small phials of compressed and
liquid oxygen to be injected by syringe
and needle into the arteries, if over
come by breathing difficulties.
