WASHINGTON
MEMORIAL
UNVEILED
Assistant Secretary OF
State Carr Presides at
Ceremonies in Goteborg

Hands across the seas are the
fashion of the hour.
| When Crown Prince Gustavus
Adolphus of Sweden was in Wash
! ington unwilling the monument to
/ his great countryman, John Erics-
son, a similar ceremony was taxing
place in Goteborg, Sweden, with
! Assistant Secretary Of State Wilbur
J. Carr representing the Onlteu
/ States.
It was from Goteborg, called
| Golden Gate of the North, that
the first Swedes sailed for America,
and the city is still the chief point
of departure for Swedish in1nal-
grants.
Bust Of Washington
! Secretary Carr unveiled bust OF
General George Washington and adj
dressed .aa enthusiastic crowd gath
cred for the ceremonies. Following
i the unveising wreaths were placed
at the foot of the monument by
Mary and Sonia Jonsson, daughters
of a prominent citizen of Goteborg.
and curiously enough collateral
descendants OF Washington. The
Girls mother was an American
woman, the great-greatsgrand
daughter of Lawrence Washington.
! At a luncheon following the cere-
monies Mrs. Carr, who IL ac-
campaigning her husband on the
| trip, was presented with magnifi-
cent Orrefors glass in recollection
Of her too short stay in Goteborg.
The Cars stayed three days in
the picturesque little city. Too
short. indeed" agreed Mrs. Carr
writing from Oslo where they went
from Goteborg.
Mrs. Carr describes herself as
enthralled with the beauty of that
wonderous northland she is seeing
for the first time. The towering
mountains and wonderful fjords
are too marvellous for words. she
enthusizes.
Go to Stockholm
She writes that the party ex-
pected to go to Stockholm the last
week in July. And from that city
will make a leisurely trip home.
A translation inclosed Of an arti-
Gle In Goteborg paper describing
the ceremonies is very amusing.
Mr.. Cars attire for the occasion
is described minutely. While Mrs.
Carr ON the contrary is passed over
with the briefest of mention. The
writer commiserates with the sa'
torially perfect American as the
day was one OF the warmest on
record for the city.
Criticizes Countrymen
In complimenting Mr.. Carr the
writer takes q gentle slap at some
OF his own countrymen for per-
hitting the warmth of the day to
tempt them into neglect OF the
proper attire for the occasion.

Claude Spiekers of Austin, MINI. and
leased to Henry Stomberg Jr. The
auctioneers were VIM. Holland OF
Waterloo, Iowa and Smith & Pier
son. Mr.. Holland makes selling land
at auction his business and done the
talking part of the sale. The bids
were started at $500 an acre and
run up to Sis when the farm was
knocked down to the tenant, Henry
Stomberg Jr. The farm surely came
into the hands of one Of our most
Industrious and steady young men
and we congratulate Henry on his
purchase.
While the above is not a bumper
price for a good farm yet it shows
that man with the thought of a
home for his family in mind sees in
this an opportunity to help himself
and by hard work and good manage
ment in term of years become the
owner OF a property that will adj
vance in value year by year and
therefore not only secure a home
but be the beneficiary of the natural
rise in land values that is bound to
come.-Renville Star Farmer.

EIGHT YEARS AFTER

Sergt. Alvin C.. York, who trans
ed into camp one day with 1872 we'll
filled German helmets following him
won Americas acclaim eight years
ago as the World wars greatest indi-
vidual hero. He was stormed with
theatrical and movie contracts. He
rejected them. He had an idea.
The other day his idea began to
take real shape, when the sergeant
broke ground at jamestown, Tenn.
for the Alvin c. York Industrial In
stitute.--4t is to be a 100000 school,
with drmitories for boys and girls.
York is more than a great hero of
the war. He has placed himself Sec
ond to the hill people in the Blue
Mountains of the Cumberland pla-
teau. 1t is his hope that these peo-
pie, many of whom are still untouch-
ed by the finger of modern civiliza-
ton, be given a chance to learn the
practical, better things of life.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO CAMP DODGE

Many Minnesota Legionnaires spent
time at Camp Dodge Iowa. Many
hot and dusty, cold and snowy
marches they made there. Often
they wonder what the old camp looks
like now.
Uncle Sam has.leased his 1900 acres
to Hall Brothers, who are now filling
in bitches, removing concrete drive
ways, restoring the land to its normal
condition as quickly as possible. They
have two years left of their lease, by
which time the land will look like it
did when the big camp YVES construct
ed.
Even now it is difficult to recognize
the outline of that huge military hive.
Most OF it was planted to corn last
year and vast-cribs occupy the ground
where military barracks once stood.
The land occupied by the immense
hospital of forty acres while the flu
played havoc with soldier Toys in 1918
is cornfield.
Cattle and hogs roam over ground
once vibrant with the melody of
bands and the dash and pageantry of
a vast army. Those pastoral hills
and valley give no discordant note.
but are calm and serene in peaceful
meditation and historic compose.

AN ELEVENTH HOUR PEOPLE

We are an eleventh hour people,
most of US at least. We wait till
the last day to send for our auto Ii
censes, and put on the plates just in
time to avoid arrest. We pay our
personal property taxes on the last
day of February and our real es-
tate taxes on the last days of May
and October. We wait till March Is
to send in our income tax return and
hope Uncle Sam will note the post
mark if it arrives late. We start
for the depot when the train whistles
and get to the theatre as the curtain
rises. We put on our storm windows
at the sign of the first blizzard and
leave them on till the flies come.
We go to bed tired and get up the
same way. We send flowers to our
friends after they're. dead and are
late at the funeral We were the
last to enter the war and are the last
to make peace. We are eleventh
hour people, but we get there just
the same.-Springfield AdvancePress.

ROOM FOR ALL.

z. E. Howard, in his Wheaton Ga
zette, writes the following brief ar
ticle, which should prove an inspira
ton to all who read it: The editor
had visitor the other day whom hi
was proud to meet. At twenty this
man had common school education
and was working in logging camp
Today he is one of the leading lawyers
in good sized Minnesota town, has
educated large family of children
and is fairly well fixed financially
There is nothing remarkable about
that, except that he gained his educa-
ton and position in life in spite of a
tremendous handicap. But here is
the story:
John (that is not his name but will
do as well as any was hit by fall
ing tree in a logging camp and his
right foot was torn off He was haul
ed to town and then taken to Mime
apolis where four different operations
were necessary before the leg finally
healed, leaving him but three or four
inches of the femur bone. He had
saved up three or four hundred dol
lars before the accident but when
he was able to leave the hospital on
clutches his money was all gone and
he owed around a thousand dollars.
With but one leg and a big debt
he might have been tempted to stand
on the street corner and accept do
nations from the passers-but instead
he hunted up job teaching country
school of nearby town. He studied
enough nights and week ends so that
he kept up with his classes. In the
summer he acted as bally-hoo for car
nivals and circuses, sold portable
bathtubs and peddled books. Anyway,
he made enough money to keep him
going and after he finished high
school he took a law course.
He has been county attorney for a
big county and is today one of the
big lawyers of the state. He says
that never once did he regret the
decision to make his way in spite
Of handicap. He paid off his thous-
and dollars debt before he finished
school and said the day when that was
paid was sure big day in his life
His slogan Is, "There is room in this
world for everyone"

ONE WAY TO GET
AWAY FROM DANCE LAW

One of the dance pavilion manag-
ers just across the line in Pipestone
county is putting on row stunt in
the dance line. Refused license by
the township board the management
now holds free dances. The manage
ment hires the orchestra and provides
the hall, and he makes his profit on
the sale of soft drinks, sandwiches
etc. Under the old plan when he had
to secure a permit, two or three
special cops were on duty every night,
now he does his own ccpping. The
next legislature will correct the law
to take care of just such evasions of
the dance law.Lake Wilson. Pilot.

BANKS ARE
HELD LIABLE FOR
CHECK DELAYS
COURT DECIDES AGAINST ST.
PAUL, THIEF RIVER FALLS
INSTITUTIONS in DAMAGE
SUIT.

Banks failing to make presentment
of negotiable paper received for col.
lection are liable for any loss that
may result to the holder of the paper
Judge Andrew Grindeland ruled in
district court in the case of j. A.
McEnelly versus the American Ma
tional Bank of st. Paul and the First
and Peoples State Bank of Thief
River Falls.
The case arose from a transaction
which started October 81, 1925. The
Farmers and Merchants State Bank
of Thief River Falls issued a cashiers
check for several hundred dollars.
The check did not reach Thief
National bank October %.
The check was forwarded to the
First and Peoples State banks, where
it was received October 81, 1925. This
bank retained the check until the
following Monday and taen returned
it to st. Paul without presenting it
for payment.
The check did not reach Theft
River Falls again until November 5,
the day the Farmers and Merchants
State bank closed. The owner of the
check could not get his money.
Mr.. McEnelly, the owner, then
brought action charging the defen-
dants were negligent in failing to
present the check and also in holding
it too long.
Judge Grindeland held that the de-
PENDANTS were under obligation to
make presentment and that when a
bank receives paper of that kind for
collection it is obliged to handle it
to the extent, at least, of making
presentment, and that the collecting
bank cannot, of its own accord. re-
fuse to accept the paper for collection.

MANS FADING PRESTICE

William Allen White in Emporia
Gazette: For five days we have been
bordering upon the sad fate of the
Berlin man who came home and found
his young wife in flesh colored stock
ings, short skirt, an armless dress
and bobbed hair. The reader will re-
member the story: It was in the
Gazette. It told of the mans surprise
chagrin and sorrow; and the story
went on to say that after he had
consoled himself with a few assuag-
ing drinks-and who would begrudge
him that poor boon to his suffering!
he went out into the street in the
moonlight by way of revenge upon
society in general and the so-called
softer sex in particular, clad, as he
rushed from his home, only in his
shirt and bedroom slippers. Then a
cruel and unjust government arrested
and jailed him. To that sad pass
has mans degradation come.
He had on as much raiment, ounce
for ounce, as his wife had. She was
not molested. His clothes for all do
nestle and hygenic purposes were
probably even better distributed than
hers. AS scenic spectacle he was
no more shocking than she. Yet he
sits all alone in Jail all day long with
nothing a-tall to do but to be think
ing of you!"
While she, merely because she is a
female, goes forth wearing dab Of
cotton, spool Of silk and gets away
with lot Of indecent exposure under
the protection of fashion.
Man is lost.
He never can come back.
He began by giving woman his
seat in the street car. Then he gave
her the ballot. Whereupon she took
away his booze and now she takes off
her clothes and runs wild.
And if man tries to regain his an
cient rights to frisk his manly beauty
in the moonlight for the delight Of
the populace-what does he get.
\ Will he get six months in Jail and
the opprobium Of public opinion mold
ed by the soft but subtle hands of wo-
man?
Man on this planet is busted COM
munity! He might as we'll quit.
