Signal Bell At Railroad
Crossings to Be Replaced
State Commission Orders Stop Signs
in Place of Bells-Chaage
In 80 Days

St. Paul, Nov. 18-Railroad COM
panies operating throughout the state
have been asked to remove their bell
danger signals on crossings which are
designed as "stops" by the railroad
and warehouse commission, which is
making survey of grade crossings
throughout the state.
Frank Matson, member of the COM
mission said that the bell danger sig
nal is virtually valueless because of
the increased number of closed cars
which do not permit the drivers to
hear this signal and as consequence
are not aware of dangerous crossings.
Conspicuous signs designating
"stop" will replace the bell signals
on all crossings designated by the
commission, Mr.. Matson said. Al
ready more than 200 of these signals
have been removed by various rail
road companies. Mr.. Matson on
Thursday will begin a survey of
crossings on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific system in the state. Or
ders designating $50 "stop" crossings
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul and Isl ON the Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Sault Ste Marie were issued
by the commission today. The rail
road companies have 80 days in
which to make the designated signals.

made a profit of approximately ST..
100, most gratifying showing wher
the weather conditions are taken into
consideration. The total receipts Of
the association from all sources was
proper was $5,282.09. Two years
interest on outstanding certificates
amounting to $558.60 has been paio
and on Nov. IL there was a balance
on hand of $538.50.
The annual meeting of the Associ.
alton was held at the Community
Club rooms Thursday evening of last
week and attracted a fair sized
audience, several of them coming
from outside towns.
After President J. B. Schoenhof1
opened the meeting he read list OF
the holders of the certificates of in
debtedness, $50 in all, amounting te
$3,940.
The reports of Secretary Hillerud
and Treasurer Fred Fischer were
read and were found to balance to a
cent in the totals.
Joseph Weisner suggested that il
would stimulate interest of trainers
of horses if one Of the large stock
barns was moved to more advant-
ageous location. A committee consist
ing of Messre Weisner, Chas. Bruce
and Fred Fischer were appointed to
consider this matter.
The question of holding a poultry
show was discussed. With the advent
of the large plant for handling live
poultry operated. in Sank Centre by
Swift & Co., the unanimous opinion
of those present was that a poultry
show should be held in Sank Centre
every year under the auspices of the
Fair Association. President Schoen-
hoff will call the business men of the
city together in a short time to work
out the details for this show.
DR.. ]. A. Dubois expressed the
appreciation of all those interested
in the success of the fair of the
splendid work of the old officers and
made blanket motion, covering all
of the elective officers, that they
should be unanimously reelected.
Several of them endeavored to
duck but those present would not
listen to their reasons for retiring
and they were enthusiastically re
elected, as follows:
President. B. Schoenhoff.
Vice President-H. B. Otte.
Secretary-Gunther Hilelrud.
Treasurer-F'red Fischer.
H. P. Brunckschen of Freeport was
introduced and stated that the peo-
pie of his section were just begin
ming to appreciate the worth of the
fair. He promised every assistance
in the future that he could give the
association. The gentleman will be
one of the directors of the 1926 fair
Editor Carl Carlson of the Melrose
Beacon was called on and stated that
Melrose would continue to support
the fair Loyalty. Mr.. Carlson has al
ways given literally of space in his
excellent newspaper to promote the
best interests of the fair.
County Supt. VIM. Boerger ex-
planned the plans for the 1926 Spell
ing Contest. He said that while the
Spelling Contest was undoubtedly a

good thing for the fair it was a bet
ter thing for the Rural Schools and
for the children taking part. The
plan for next years contest provides
that child TO be eligible to enter
the contest must have attended school
at least 80 days during the school
year. The first prize winner any year
will not be eligible to compete in
following year. Mex year the con-
test will start at 1000 and will work
in relays.
Supt. Boerger also brought the
cheering news that the Teachers in
stitute will be held at Sank Centre
again next year during the county
fair.
He also announced that the meet
ing of the Stearns County School of
ficers next year will be held at Mel
rose.
In discussing the spelling contest
Mr.. LBoerger stated that the idea for
such a movement was suggested to
him by Miss Inga Nelson of this city,
a teacher in rural school.
In discussing the plans for next
years fair Fred Fischer suggested
that an historical pageant covering
the pioneer times Of the entire county
would be a splendid thing for the
fair and would prove highly enter
tanning and instructive. The asso-
citation became enthused over the
suggestion made by Mr.. Fischer and
President Schoenhoff was empowered
to appoint committee to work out
the details with the gentlemen. Mr..
Schoenhoff will take his time select
ing this important committee.
The date for holding the 1926 fair
was discussed informally. 1t was the
general sentiment that the late fair
was the best but that a few days
earlier would be preferable. If a
change is made it will be necessary
to go to about the middle of Septem-
Der as the last week in September a
very large Catholic convention will
assemble at Melrose for several days.
= President Schoenhoff will appoint
his directors and department heads
after the poultry show is out of the
way.
The following resolutions were
offered and unanimously passed:
Resolved that the officers OF the
Agficulturals Society express their
appreciation to Mayor VIM. Parker,
the City Council and all others who
so splendidly co-operated with their
time in rebuilding the buildings at
the fair grounds and also to the
making of the 1925 fair a success.
Resolved, further, that we appre-
ciate the valuable assistance rendered
by the directors both in Sank Centre
and elsewhere who labored so val
iantly for the success of the fair.
The spelling contest initiated and
successfully carried out by Co. Supt.
VIM. Boerger was the outstanding
feature of the 1925 fair. Mr.. Boer-
ger has ever been a jealous worker
for the success of the fair promises
to continue his good work. For this
the Fair Association is deeply CRATE
full.
After adjournment light lunch
was served.
The following is detailed state
ment of the finances of the 1925
fair:

Man Killed on Highway No. 3
Detour Near Avon Tuesday
Victim Was Farm Laborer With No
Known Relatives-Was About 4S
Years Old

Another automobile fatality was
recorded in Stearns county Tuesday
morning when Stabley Koski, aged 48
and single, lost control of his car on
a turn on the county road near st.
Anna, his car overturning and kill
ing Koski almost instantly, the steer
ing wheel crushing into his vitals.
Koski, who is native OF Ukrania,
but an American citizen, having lived
in this country for eighteen years,
was out on a turkey buying expedi-
ton when the accident occurred. He
resided at the John Thielman home
in Avon. He was to face liquor trans
portation charges in Glenwood soon
and told friends that he might go to
that place if the turkey business was
not promising today.
He had evidently started for Glen
wood when the accident occurred.
There was no trace of liquor in the
car, and Kosh was familiar with the
road on which he was driving so it
is thought that he forgot the curve
momentarily as his car was going at
a high rate of speed when it hit.
Death must have been almost in
slant.
The deceased has but one known
living relative, a brother last heard
of from in the Twin Cities. There is
no address Of the brother and it is
probable that he will never be reach
ed. Whether the deceased had rela-
tives in Ulrania is not known. Burial
will be made in Avon from the
Catholic church. The man had only
resided in Stearns county the past
few years.-St. Cloud Journal-Press

CONY HIGH LADS HIT HARD And
EASILY WIN over MORSE, u TO z

While Old Sol did his best to melt
everybody in attendance, Cony High
struggled against Morse High of
Bath for two hours and 25 minutes,
finally winning IL to 2 on Williams
field yesterday afternoon. Despite
some sweet hitting by the Red and
White lads the game was listless
affair, due in the main to the sud,
den hot spell.
1t was Kennebec Valley League
game and in winning Cony increased
her chances of tieing up the title
with Eallowell. There are a con-
siderable number of ifs and ands. but
should Cony win both games from
Gardiner she would finish in a tie
with the Granite City lads and in
be played off.
Babe Lapidus had the visitors well
in hand the entire route with the eX-
ception of the fourth when they
punched three of their seven blows
for a couple of tallies. The Babe
famed nine and the greater number
of the other outs were easy for the
infield.
Pete Bradstreet easily featured
with his terrific hitting that account
ed for seven of the IL runs. On his
first two trips to the platter he tore
off whiZZing doubles and on the third
attempt poled the pill to deep right
center for three sacks and scamper-
ed home when the peg to third went
wild. His fourth and final blow was
a fly that was just out of the reach
of the right gardener.
Constant surging has brought re-
suits regarding Cony spirit and there
was ample evidence of it in the form
OF cheering all through the game.
1t is hoped that this will continue and
be manifest at the two Gardiner
games.
Bonney, the Morse hurler, was hit
rather freely all through the matinee
and was also wild at times. Nc
Laughlin and Wilson did the best
stick work while Miller's fielding
featured. The score:

Waterville, June 3-The Colby
baseball team had their first after
Moons workout today on Seavern's
field since the Massachusetts, trip of
last week. owing to the poor weather
conditions. The local collegians will
polish up tomorrow and then journey
to Orono to meet the University of

In all probability either Eddie"
Corbett or Trainor will start on the
mound for Colby. In the exhibition
game the first of the season, the
Light Blue aggregation landed heav-
lily upon Trainor and then later in
the season they touched up Heal, a
southpaw, for a goodly number of
bingles; so it is expected that Coach
Roundy will use his best bet in Cor
bett against the Oronoians.
This game will wind up the season
for the Blue and Grey and the local
club are DESTROYS of taking the Maine
men into camp in revenge for the FL

How This Fish Walks

AS waters Inhabited by climbing
perch dry up, the existing puddles be-
come overstocked, and the fish leave
their old home, says Nature Maya
zine. They depart by hundreds, trav-
cling over the land. scattering in all
directions. Then the gill covers are
fully extended and the pectoral fins
spread out. The former are bent out
ward like a joint, the pointed ends
seeking a firm hold; by a twisting
and turning movement of the body
the creature is jerked forward. Then
the spines of the gill covers again
seek a firm hold. In this way the
climbing perch is able to move quite
rapidly. If the fish do not find water,
they will dig themselves into the mud
and can be found at depth of one
and q half feet
