Tourists may now make the journey there and back in one day at small expense.
 The birthplace of Gil Bias Is not the only attraction, Tor in the yi- cinity are the famous prehistoric caverns Of Al'amira. more than five hundred meters in depth, whose walls and roofs are adorned with paintings and scratched sketches dating back thousands Of years. The caverns are now furnished with an electric light system.
 The existence Of the caverns has been known for only 50 years. and they are supposed to have been the place O. refuge of the aboriginal inhabitants when threatened by ag- sressions from invaders.
 In the quiet village are also two komancsque churches and an inn where Gil Bias is supposed to have lived and which is still in use.

SCOTCH FARMERS
 AFFECTED BY us.
Distillers Purchasing More
 Barley Here

Edinburgh, Scotland Sept. lG (P
 John Barlcycorn's red nose has 4een slapped by the farmers of scotland. They are refusing 10 raise grain for the whiskey trade. eontendng that barley land does not pay, and great many tillers of the soil this year have turned their grain fields into pasture.
 Mating barley for the distillers ran be brought from abroad cheaper than it can be raised here, it is claimed. and the Na- 'ional Farmers Union Of Scot land has started a campaign to persuade the government 10 impose m import barley duty. The govern ment has baked at the suggestion on the ground that 10 impose an ex- rtse duty would upset existing intor- national treaties.
 James r. Brown, ot Dipple, Fo- ghabers, one Of the largest land owners in the, country has ahan- toned barley as q profitable crop and says Scotland is gradually going rom grain 10 grass
 "In spite of all the government says 1t has done for agriculture. the country continues to slip down steadily to grass which in many in- stances means waste" Brown ayers, Tt Is impossible for me and others m the same position 10 go on under present conditions without an effort 10 cut orIr losses"
 Brown has 455 arabic acres and }HO acres Of pasture, with 1o mar rled men living in houses on the 'arm. He started this year with 25 acres less under the blow than last year, and will turn more land 10 pasture as rapidly as he can. unless relief comes for the farmers.
 "Then,' he says. T shall be able 70 carry on with q shepherd a boy and q dog. The entire farm in pas 'ure could bc run by four men in- stead of the F as at present."
 Brown, who is not raising any barley this year for the first time m his career says, the price Of bar . l"y is no induccmont 10 grow it. The distillers have combined and re- dnced their working capital. and ome are working for only two 1onths in the year"

The modern home erected for
the st. sBenedictine Sisters by ST..
Paul's parish has been completed,
the contractor turning over the
keys to the property last evening
when the building was accepted.
This home has long been needed
as the Sisters have been quarter
ed in a building erected in 1896
for Home and Parochial school
purposes.
The new home is located be-
tween the Parish House and school,
facing east. It is simple and
beautiful exterior design, and
built of Menominee red pressed
brick. Paul Pappenfus of St.
Cloud had the general contract,
calling for consideration of Sill
600. Howard 'McGhee of this
city had the contract for heat and
plumbing which cost approximate
ly $1,750. M. A. Cole of this
city had the sub-contract for the
installation of the electric wiring
and fixtures,
On the north side of the front
reception hall is a large commun-
ity room where the Sisters will
spend much of their time while
working. Back of the commun-
.ity room. IS beautiful dining
room; west of the dining room is
a thoroughly modern kitchen. The
community room has, several built
in book cases and hooks.
: On the south Of the community
room are two small music rooms.
Back of these is a beautiful little
Chapel.
+. On the second floor are seven
sleeping rooms, with a large
closet off each, bath and linen
rooms. A restful sleeping or day
porch is at the west end of the
Home.
The building throughout is fin
ished with natural oak, both cas-
ings and fioors.
The plans for the building We're
drawn by Rev. FIR. Gilbert of St.
Johns College. When the build
ing was accepted last evening the
contractor was given a check in
full for the balance of his con-
tract.
The old building will be used
exclusively for school purposes.
Heretofore one of the school
rooms has been in the basement.
This will be done away with in the
future. Howard McGhee is in

Catches 12-Pound
Pike Barehdnded

There has been a SEEM
ingly fictitious fish story going
the rounds of Sank Centres
piscatorial artists and event.
ualIy has found its way into
print. In this particular
story Clyde Thomas is the
fisherman in the limelight.
The story runs thusly:
Mr.. Thomas while fishing
on Little Birch Lake early
Thursday evening came across
a huge wall eyed pike strug-
cling desperately for air near
the surface of the water. He
approached the fish several
times making quick grabs in
an effort to capture him bare
handed, and each time the big
fish, dove for deeper water,
returning again to the sur
face, exhausted. After a
long fifteen minutes of
splashing and grabbing, Mr..
Pike was actually landed into
the boat, openhanded: 1t is
.aid that his weight was ex-
actly IL and Sd pounds and
measured 80 inches in length.
This story is absolutely au.
thentic as there were several
witnesses present. Never
theless Mr.. Thomas stated
that he has applied for fish
liar license. 1t is common
sentiment that several others
should Immediately apply for
a similar license.
