SANDSTONE WILL HAVE
B. B. ENTERTAINMENT
Base Ball Club Preparing to Make
Big Improvements on Diamond.
Legion Post Talks Over 4th Of
July Celebration.

The base ball entertainment COM
mittee called meeting Monday night
at which time it was decided to hold
basket ball game and dance Tues
day, March 80, in the opera house.
The teams have not been selected but
no doubt it will be great game as
P. E. Robinson will select and train
one of the teams and r. w. Barstow
will have charge of the opposing
team. Guy Thorne and his orchestra
will furnish the music for the dance
that will follow Immediately after the
game. The base ball boys will need
quite a little money to prepare the
diamond this year and will greatly
appreciate large attendance. Every
one is invited. Tickets for the game
will be 10 and 25 cents and dance
tickets 75c.
The local post of the American Lee
gion invited the business men to at
tend their meeting at the Masonic
temple last Thursday evening to dis
cuss the possibilities of having a
Fourth of July celebration here this
year. Only a few of the business men
turned out and not much enthusiasm
was shown at the meeting From
what could be learned Pine City is
also planning an elaborate celebra-
ton and after a lengthy discussion it
was deemed not advisable for both
towns to celebrate, and a committee
was appointed to investigate the re-
port. Three years ago the four posts
of the county were organized to spOn-
sor Fourth of July celebrations with
would be the first place to hold it.
Last year Hinckley put in bid and
it was held there. This year Askov
or Sandstone should have it and in
case that each wanted it they were
to draw lots 1t is, to be supposed that
the Pine City post should put forth
every effort to help either of these
towns to make it success, as both
Askov and Sandstone strongly sup
ported Pine City with the celebration
that was held at that place.
The Sandstone high school basket
ball team played the final game of
the season at Finlayson Saturday
night, when players selected from the
second and third teams defeated the
Finlayson team by score of 40 to-
8. This was the second game between
these teams for the season. The Fin
layson quint has only recently been
organized and naturally gets con-
siderable experience playing these
games. With an early start next year
Finlayson promises to have a very
good line up.
The ice in the river has been break
ing up rather fast during the, past
few days, and piling up on the dam.
Several charges of dynamite have
been set off in an effort to break up
the mass of ice that is threatening
to do damage to the dam and wheel
house.

Minnesota Legislative Letter

1t was argued by opponents of the bill
that men cannot be made or kept re.
ligious by law; that the unparalleled
progress of American civilization has
been possible because Of the freedom
of teaching in schools and colleges,
and that the proposed act would de-
stroy intellectual integrity.
The so-called teachers tenure bill
became a law last week when the
senate followed the lead of the house
by giving it substantial majority
The bill or law provides that in the
three big cities of Minnesota no teach
or, who has served three years OF
more, can be removed except after q
hearing and for cause. Being limit
ed in its application to the three
cities the law has not aroused much
interest in the state as whole, but in
the cities it has been an outstanding
issue for several years, and all candi-
dates for the legislature at the last
election were committed either for or
against the bill. Agitation for the
new law grew out of the fact that a
number of prominent teachers have
been summarily removed by the
board of education of Minneapolis on
the recommendation of the city super
intendent.
1t is confidently expected that when
Senator Thomas d. Schall arrives
from Washington to attend the hear
ings of the special committee of five
senators, who are to look into the
charges that the blind senator con-
Quoted lawless campaign two years
ago, there will be a hot time in St..
Paul. The senator sounded blast
of rage and defiance at Washington
when the Investigation was ordered
and sent telegram to the daily pa
pers in which he charged that the
investigation is nothing but nasty
politics, and he also intimates that

vert attention from the so-called
"state treasury scandal" Mr.. Schall
is now on the way home from Wash

SENATE

Campaign Investigation by Senate
Committee.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 15.-Rev. W.
B. Riley's anti-evolution bill is dead.
1t was killed in the senate by the
overwhelming vote of 55 to Z, after
the senate committee had refused to
recommend it for passage More in
terest was taken in this bill by the
public at large than in any other
bill that has been introduced at this
session. The senators and represent
tatives have been deluged by letters
and petitions asking them to vote for
CIR against the bill, and at the pub
lie hearing Wednesday night some O.
600 people crowded the house cham
Der to hear the arguments. At this
hearing Rev. Riley led the fight for
the bill, urging its passage because it
is conceded to be constitutional; is
admittedly in popular demand; is
manifestly fair; restricts no scientific
research, and is the only way of OBJ
tanning redress.
President L. D.Coffman of the Uni
versity of Minnesota was the foremost
speaker against the bill, others being
President L. w. Doe of ST. Olaf Col
lege, Rev. j. A. O. Stub of the Central
Lutheran Church of Minneapolis, Rev.
Frank S. Hickman of the Wesley
Foundation, Minneapolis, and Mrs.
j. S. King, president of the Univer-
sity women of the state. The,
thing that seemed to count the most
against the bill was the feeling among
the lawmakers that the enactment of
the proposed law would be reaction
airy move, barking back to the middle
ages and tending to restrict freedom
of thought and freedom of research.

A New Kind of Trimming.

Clara had never in her life wanted
anything half so badly. She stood
with her nose pressed against the
milliners window and gazed 1ongingly
at the beautiful plumes. They were
so stylish LOOKING. If her mother
would only let her have one, Anna
belle had new plume, and it was
just lovely.
But Mrs. Gordon had old-fashioned
ideas. She declared that plumes were
entirely too old for Clara. II want
you to have a nice neat little sailor
this Spring." she said. II suppose
you will want it for next Sunday, so
we might az well go in and buy it
now.'
Clara was sullen and pouted all the
time the milliner was trying the hats
on her. You see, she wants a
plume" explained Mrs Gordon, feel
ing not a little ashamed of her daugh-
ter.
'Oh, this hat is ever so much more
girlish than one with plume on"
purred the saleslady. There, dear,
see how you like that one" But Clara
would not even look in the mirror
II don't want a girlish hat she
mumbled; II want a stylish one" She
carried the hat home and stuck it
away in the closet out of sight. She
wouldn't have to look at it until Sun.

den away in the attic somewhere,
there was a large plume that her
grandfather had sent them when he
visited the ostrich farm in California.
1t took her only a few minutes to To-
cate it.. 1t was lovely, much nicer
even than Annabelle's. Clara draped
it over her plain little hat and was
delighted with the effect. She hadn't
time to sew it on. Pinning it on Sc
curely, she hurried out the side door
and off to Sunday school before her
mother could see her.
AS she entered the church she no.

She sailed into her classroom, her
head high. Annabelle made room for
her to sit beside her. staring at her
hat all the while. Good gracious.
Clara" she giggled. whatever have
you those big safety pins sticking In
your hat for?"
With a gasp Clara felt for her
plume. 1t was gone. All that was left
were three large and conspicuous
safety pins.

upon any sort of expedition as some

that you will feel appropriately dressed
in a costume of this sort.
A good plan. perhaps, is to have
such suit made with one jacket and
two skirts-let us say, a navy blue
jacket with plain blue skirt cut quite
straight and short. and another skirt
cut as straight and scant made of
checked navy blue and gray. Or your
jacket and one skirt may be black
with a gray checked or striped second
skirt. The skirt needs more frequent
attention from the tailor, so it is very
convenient to have an extra skirt to
wear when one skirt is being pressed
or cleaned. A number of washable or
cleanable blouses or shirt sweaters
andea fur scarf, and you are prepared
for almost any daytime occasion. If

then get some sort OF silk scarf.
The best coat for travel by land and
by water is a coat without fur trim

furs on the ocean trip. Quite the new

A frock of this sort takes up but little
space, and may be worn after unpack-
