FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES-No.
The Two Types Of Tea

There are two distinct types of tea, namely
Black Tea and Green Tea. Both are made
from the same bush and both are equally
pure. The difference is in the process OF
manufacture which gives each different
flavor. Black Tea after it is pIucked Is
withered and partially fired or dried, then
allowed to oxidize by being exposed to the
air. This gives Black Tea its dark reddish
color when drawn. Green tea Is immedi-
ately steamed after pluckine, which pre-
vents oxidation. There are delicious blends
of "SALADA" In both of these types and
also unique blend of Black and Green Tea
Mixed.

Commander
MRS. SPENCER OF WINONA
HEADS AUXILIARY; HIT RADI-
CALISM HARD BLOW; CONVEN-
TION GREAT SUCCESS.

Joseph P. O,Hara of Glencoe, over
seas veteran of the Saith Division, was
unanimously elected commander OF
the Minnesota Department, American
Legion, at the closing session of its
sixth annual convention at. Thief
River Falls Wednesday. 1t was Mr.,
O'Hara who withdrew from the COM
Membership race at st. Cloud last
year in favor of Edwin Lindell Of
Minneapolis.
M. D. Haferman, Lindstrom, was
chosen first vice-commander; Fred
Miller, Little Falls, second vice-com-
mander; Nicholas E. Phillips, Mime
apolis, third vice-commander. j. M
Henry, Winona, was chosen national
executive committeeman in the most
closely contested race of the whole
convention.
Mrs. Rose H. Spencer of Winona
was elected president of the auxili-
ary. Mrs. A. F. Amundsen, Little
Falls, was named first vice-president
and Mrs. j. M. Bishop, Thief River
Falls, second vice-president.
State commanders from now on will
serve two years instead of one, fol-
lowing the decision at late session
Tuesday to make such change in
its constitution. Earlier in the day
the convention voted to meet in
Mankato next year.
Delegates to Legion and Auxiliary
convention Wednesday bade farewell
to Thief River Falls and departed for
Winnipeg, where they were the
guests of the city at banquet that
night. Special trains for the Mani
toba capitol started promptly at
noon.
A night session following the
parade and the annual contests wound
up all convention business except
election of officers. The convention
voted to ask the boad Of control to
apppoint an assistant to the state well

Move to Improve
Minnesota Rural
Schools Begun
INSPECTOR CRITICIZES ANTI
QUATED TYPES; AMPLE FUNDS
AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUC-
TION OF STRUCTURES.

Declaring that Minnesota is sacri.
ficing it's rural schools to it's agri-
cultural ambition, Samuel A. Chall-
man, state inspector of school build
ings in the office of j. M. Mcconnell
commissioner of education, began a
movement to improve Minnesota's
rural school system.
Antiquated one and two-room school
houses "out of style for genera
ton" are the particular target at
attempt to increase consolidation OF
rural schools and bring about the
building of modern, up-to-date school
buildings.
Ambitious rural Minnesota, rush
ing erection of palatial barns, silos
and creameries for the indispensable
dairy cow and similar monuments tC
other leading phases of the states
great farm industry is neglecting its
Schools" Mr.. Challman said. "While
literally thousands are going TOWARD
furthering crop marketing agencies
and other agricultural activities soms
agrarian communities still persist
in building antiquated one and two
room schools"
As consequence of this, Mr.. Chall
man declared in his plea for deflec.
tion of some agricultural money to-
ward school building.
One hundred ninety-three rural
school children are working under
backward surroundings much longer
than social conditions in the com.
munities would warrant.
If the present indifference contin.
ues to spread, the states educational
status will be lowered, thus undermin-
ing the work accomplished under the
system of schools established by
pioneers under adverse conditions.
Of the total expenditures of SIG,
412,192 recorded in 1924 for new
schools and additions and improve
ments to old structures, the bulk ma.
turally went toward institutions in
the cities and towns, but the differ.
ence was accentuated because vir.
tually all the 115 rural schoolhouses
built last year were of the one and two
room type.
The rural school condition is highly
inexcusable because there is nc
shortage of funds; ample assistance
and advice has been offered; because
these obsolete types of schools are
not being erected in the poorer sec.
tions of the north state, but in the
richer regions Of central and ives
tern Minnesota.
There is sufficient room in this

County Fair Days
Drawing Near for
Brown County
NEIGHBORING FAIR PROMISES
TO BETTER RECORDS MADE
AT LAST YEARS SHOW; MANY
EXCELLENT ATTRACTIONS.

Once again the stage is being set
for the annual Brown County Fair
which will be held in New Ulm on
Thursday, Friday, Saturday ard Sun
day, August 27, %, 20 and 30. And so
great is the program which is being
prepared by the management that the
fair board can well defy any other
county fair to put up program which
will equal the one to be presented at
the fair this year. Already ranked
as one Of the best county fairs in the
state the leaps and bounds made by
the Brown County Agricultural Socie-
ty are so great that it is but quss-
ton of time when the local fair will
be acknowledged the greatest of coun-
ty fairs.
VIM. A. Lindemann, secretary of the
local agricultural society has annOunc-
ed that the Springfield Orpheus band
under the direction of Capt. JOS. Hof-
:meister and the 2O5th Infantry band
of this city directed by A. p. Boock
will furnish the music during fair
time. The Orpheus band will play
on Friday afternoon and evening and
the local band will furnish the music
on Saturday and Sunday. Besides
these two great musical organizations
there will be several selections put or:
by the special band of the Royal
American Amusement Shows during
the three days.
AS usual the fair will abound with
educational exhibits of all kinds.
Strenuous effort, earnest strife, spirit
ed contention and strong rivalry may
be expected among the many animat-
ed contestants for the premium honors
and prize money offered for the vari-
Gus lines to be displayed. Agricultural
hall will contain products of the field,
garden and orchard while the women's
department will give the people an
opportunity to view beautiful array
of women's industry and handiwork.
Choice food products such as bread,
cake, pies and other varieties of culin-
ary art will be on display. Another
exhibit which will prove of interest
will be put on by the state department
of mines and food and dairy products.
Another interesting and educational
feature of the fair is the boys and
girls club work. So great has the
interest in this feature become that
the fair management has found itself
compelled to remodel one of the build
ings at the grounds into home for
the club during their attendance at
the fair. This year there are over
100 enrolled in this work and the ex-
hibits displayed by members Of the
club are bound to create sensation.
Entries in the livestock department
promise to be greater than ever for
according to Secretary Lindemann the
entries are coming in faster than ever
before. The hog department especi-
ally shows great interest and the
showing in this line is increasing from
year to year. Some of the biggest
and best hogs in the state are shown
at the local fair.
Poultry exhibits at the fair are the
greatest of any in the state. For
years the poultry fanciers of the
county have been pulling down prizes

Tragedy at Bean
Lake; Westbrook
Man browns
TRAGEDY OCCURS WHILE IN
SWIMMING; BINGHAM LAKE
MAN HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.

Elmer Hanson, bachelor, 81
years of age whose home was at
Westbrook, was drowned in Bean
Lake Sunday afternoon. He had gone
to the lake that day and the last
seen Of him was at about five o'clock
in the afternoon when he prepared
to enter the water again, having
been out short time after being
in the water several hours. 1t is pre-
sumed that he was seized with
cramps and sank, as his body was
doubled up when found.
His absence was not noticed until
Monday when he failed to show up
for work. Investigation revealed that
his car had been at the lake all
night and his clothes were also
found checked in the bath house
and which were not noticed the pre-
vious night Attendants at the re-
sort stated that cars frequently
were left there over night and had
thought it but another case of u
car being left there by the owner
when unable to get it started.
Efforts were made to find the body
Monday which was recovered at
about nine o'clock that evening near
the recently installed water wheel
and the body was taken to West
brook for burial.
Another near tradgedy occurred at
the lake that day when Fred Butler
Of Bingham Lake, fell out of boat
Sunday morning, and was rescued
after being nearly exhausted Im-
mediate first-aid efforts brought him
back to consciousness, and by the
following day he was nearly normal.
A few moments longer in the water
would undoubtedly have meant his
death, too Lamberton Light.

Mystery Solved;
Boys Confess
DESIRE TO SEE STORIES IN Pa!
PER HEADLINES; OTHER
CRIMES LAID TO ACTIONS OF
JUVENILES.

Craving to see headline story in
the papers is the reason given for the
desecration of the Kasota graveyard
August 6, by two brothers, fourteen
an dtwelve years old, who confessed
to the vandalism here.
The older boy not only confess
ed to tipping over twenty-eigh.
gravestones, but said he set fire to
country schoolhouse last fall
and committed number Of petty
thefts in the community over a per-
iod of a year, officers say.
The older boy, Clyde Dzelke made
the confession before F. L. Warrant,
justice of peace, and o. p. Buell.,
a notary. He named his younger
brother as his accomplice.
Many of the stones desecrated
were from forty to seventy-five years
old and more than half of them were
broken and can not be- replaced. The
damage done is estimated at from
81 900 to $4,000.
The boy also confessed to tipping
over seven tombstones in the ceme-
terry late last May. He was taken to
LIE Sueur Center Monday might by
Sheriff Hugo Bolke and remanded to
the custody of Judge C. j. Brown OF
lie Sueur county Juvenile court. The
younger boy is visiting with rela-
tives in st. Paul, but authorities ex-
pected him to be arrested there at
once.
The boys are the sons Of farmer
living two miles east of Kasota.
Both boys are out on parole for
the burning of the Bautwen school
house near Kasota They were con-
victed on circumstantial evidence in
juvenile court a few weeks later but
never confessed. For this reason
they were paroled.
Justice F. L. Warrant, who was
placed in charge Of the boys last
fall, obtained the confession. The
two boys are sons of John Dzelke, a
farmer near Kasota Mankato Free
