Trouble In the
Olson Family
Court and Jury Hear Case of Au-
to Collision Case in Which
Both Sides Claim Damages

"A case in which the litigants
were strangers was tried before
Municipal Judge R.. r. Kells and
jury at the Community Club rooms
in this city Monday afternoon. The
action was that of Ralph Olson of
Minneapolis against Theodore Oh
son of Huron, IS. ID. Ralph was
driving west on the detour No. 8
between Albany and Freeport.
Theodore was travelling east. Just
after Ralph made a sharp turn
there was collision in which both
cars were badly wrecked.
Ralph brought suit for $3.50
damages; Theodore in his answer
put in counter claim for $500.
! The evidence appeared to be
conflicting. The jury was given
the case at 4:30. After iballoting
for several times, eating supper
and playing several games of
grand nula, they reported to Judge
Kells, at $50 that agreement was
out of the question and they were
discharged. } .
Attorney l.. l.. Kells of this

Grading Of Highway No. A
Progressing Satisfactorily
Several Crews Are Working Be-
tween Sank Centre and
Long Prairie

Grading operations on the new
section of Highway No. a between
this city and Long Prairie, are
being rapidly pushed to compile
ton. At the present time work
has been done beyond Round Prai-
RE and culverts are completed on
the entire section. The new road
bed will join the present highway
short distance south of Long
Prairie and will eliminate the bad
curve around the lake just outside
of that city. The work from Sank
Lake north in the vicinity of
Spring Park has been completed
for some time and will most likely
soon be ready for gravel.
The contract for the new bridge
across Sank Lake has not as vet
been let, nor have bids been adj
vertised for, but it is generally
thought that the bridge viii be
completed this winter so that the
new road will be ready for travel
the early part of next year.

Summer Visiting Now at
its Height in Northwest
Family Picnics and Reunions Are
Numerous in This Era of
Good Roads y.

The summer visiting season is at
it's height just now in this county
and elsewhere in Minnesota. Fam
lily visits are increasing each year
since good roads and automobiles
made it possible to come and go
long distances in one day. Par
ents and grown up sons and daugh-
tiers, brothers and sisters, as well
as close friends, find it much cas-
ier to keep in touch with each
other now than before good roads
became general.
One nice thing about these au-
tomobile visits is that it is just as
easy to bring the whole family as
to come alone. By other modes of
transportation the cost was direct
ly in proportion to the number
making the trip, but with an au-
tomobile it costs no more to take
persons than to drive alone. So the
grandparents, married sons and
daughters and all the little cousins
can keep up a regular acquaint-
ance even if they live seventy-fve
or $50 miles apart.
This family visiting started with
the automobile but did not become
general until we had the marked
and regularly maintained trunk
highways. Before that 7 it was
risky for a person who had to be
back on the Job at fixed time, to
start out on a fifty mile trip. He
was not sure the road would be
good all the way. A shower might;
make the road impossible, or he
might lose his way and get many
miles off his course. Now he can
find out the condition of the road
in advance, and at this time of the.
year the trunk highways are near
ly al, good anyway. And they
are marked so that any driver with
normal intelligence cannot get lost
even after dark.
There are not only single fanli-
lies making these trips, but fam
lily picnics or reunions have her
come numerous, especially IN the
summer time when the days are
long. Several families, either re1r
atives or close friends, will agree
upon a centrally located meetiHg
place, start so as to get there bex
fore day for everybody, frosa
grandfather to the youngest baby.
The ride on paved or well MAIN
tanned gravel roads adds to tie
enjoyment. Even if you have q
hundred miles to go after supper
you get home in time to get q COED
nights rest before you get back
to your job next morning. IS SIS
With poor, uncertain roads, on
ly the rich could afford these trips
but with good roads everybodyb
doing it.

Nancy Ford and Dan
Cupid Have Run In

While Don Bishop was seat
ed comfortably in a soft cush-
toned seat in the Sherman
Theatre, St. Cloud, Monday
evening blissfully engrossed
in a reel scene being flashed
upon the playhouse screen,
Nancy, his collegiate Ford,
was outside enacting a real
scene. She was cracking
and suffering away caus-
ing considerable furore in
that vicinity.
1t was not until the po-
lice and fire department had
arrived upon the scene that
Donald was notified. When
his name was flashed upon
screen asking him to appear
at the box office he was some
what mystified. He fastened
forth only to find that Nancy
was the cause of the turmoil.
With the flames quenched and
the engine still functioning
he drove off of the main
thoroughfare and parked her
in front of a residence a few
blocks away, where she was
again left to her own diver
sion.
While seated on the ver-
anda some distance away
smoke was scented in the air.
First thoughts were of Nancy.
Certain enough she had burst
into flames a second time, ap-
parently hurt, owing to the
inattention shown her. This
time no fire department was
present to render service SO
the garden hose, buckets and
neighbors were pressed into
service to subdue Nancy's
flaming nature.
This ludicrous escapade
along with four flat tires a
gasoline shortage and Paul
Revere ride from Minneapolis
to St. Cloud for Dan Cupid's
sake constituted the tribula-
tons of Don's business trip
to the Twin Cities Monday.

NAVY Filler JUMPS
OVER SEVEN MILES
Reaches Unofficial Altitude
of $4,000 Feet But Rec
ords Are Destroyed
ENGINE GOES TO PIECES
Figures Place Height at
38,559 Feet Reached
By Champion

Washington, July 25 - After
setting an unofficial altitude re-
cord of $4,000 feet, Lieutenant C.
G.. Champion, navy air ace, piloted
a flaming, powerless plane nearly
seven miles to safety in a cornfeld
near here today. Lieutenant
Champions engine exploded at &c.
600 feet on the descent, all nine
pistons flying back through the
plane, SCATTERING the wings and en-
dangering his life.
Lieutenant Champion was burn
ed about the face and hands as he
fought to save his instruments, up
on which successful recognition of
the flight depended. He battled
to prevent a crash, which might
have destroyed the records.
Disappointment seemed in store
for him as the first check of the in
struments showed approximately
$4,000 feet, it was announced.
This figure, however, was not is
sued officially, and hope for a re-
cord still exists.
An ambulance, sent from Boil
ing field when officers saw his
plane hurtling to earth, found him
struggling to get out of his heavy
flying clothes, which he said were
smothering him.
He arose in a tiny Wright
Apache biplane from the field
jointly shared by the Boiling Field
army and Anacostia navy air fore
es at $40 "A. M.
Within 10 minutes he was out
of sight.
Within an hour his altimeter
registered between 100000 and 49,
600 feet, he said, whereas the
previous record was @40,810 feet,
set by Calico, of France. He
started to descend, but at about
$4,000 feet his nine cylinders blew
out, their heads ripping holes in
his planes wings and knocking the
oxygen tube from his mouth.

EARLY SESSION OF
CONGRESS IS URGED
Leaders of Both Parties
Claim Flood Relief for
South Is Imperative
TAX SLASH PROBABLE
Smoot, Republican, and
Harrison, Democratic,
Disagree

Washington, July 26-Because
of the burden of flood control and
tax legislation, two leading sena-
tors of opposite political align
ments, feel President Coolidge
should call congress into extra ses-
sion. -
The senators, Smoot, Repubi-
can, Utah, and Harrison, Demo-
crat, Mississippi, both believe the
move is essential so congress can
get underway the complicated and
lengthy task of enacting the tax
bill earlier than usual and then
turn to the important problem of
Mississippi river flood control.
The Mississippian declared the
extra session should commence
October 1, while Smoot who has
just returned from a call upon
the President in the Black Hills,
proposed the earlier assembly be-
tween October Is and November
l.. -
While concurring in the view
that the tax bill should precede all
other legislation tasks, the two
senators disagreed on the amount
of tax reduction
tSmoot, who is chairman of the
senate financial committe, declar-
I'd the deduction should reach
$500, 100000 and become effective
by March Is, before the next tax
returns are filed. Senator Harrison
proposed a cut of S500,000,000
with reductions including the lop-
ping off of corporation levies. and
surtaxes on medium sized incomes.
TGe Mfssissippian contended that
SmCot's reduction was the same as
that proposed by the Democrats
il the last session. Another fig
ure of $685., 100000 was set by
Representative Garrett of Tennes-
