HEAVY STORM LOSS
 0N NEW HIGHWAY Destruction Caused by Down.
 pour Will Affect Progress UNDERPASS NOT FLOODED
Charles Warren Likely to Resign Cemetery Association Position Auxiliary Elections Scheduled For TOnight-Son Born.

Lashed by.-a bowling gale and swamped under heavy downpour, Berlin suffered considerable dam age last night through washouts and floods in the road construction area and in outlying districts.
 The storm was one of the worst recorded in this place and was gen. orally destructive.
 The portion of the main highway now under construction suffered the heaviest damages, uncompleted work being badly affected by the torrent of water which completely submerged many sections of the Highway and which wrecked graded portions.
 The Berlin underpass, the trouble spot on the highway for several construction, proved admirably cap able of handling the flood waters which in the past have mounted high on the occasion of heavy rains. Very little overflow was recorded at this spot during the hours of heav- jest rainfall and construction en- gineers are confident that the sew age system recently installed will prove efficient in the future.
 Dirt roads, especially the detours which have been used for the past several days with the closing of the E'arr, ipc aveplye roIlta nr0vp6 hazardous today to bus and automo- bile traffic, the shoulders of the roads having been washed away in several places. Traffic was slowed down and several traffic tangles re- suited from> close travelling on the detour roads when cars endeavored to escape slipping onto the soft shoulders and into the deep gullies washed out by rain.
 Work on the highways was sus- pended and q general reconditioning of the portions of roadway still to be laid with concrete must be made before activities can be resumed on Pennington avenue.
 Several large limbs and few trees were reported blown over Most of the trees fell in the outly- ing districts and only one branch in the Blue Hills district, blocked traffic when it fell across the road Way.

A STURDY DEVELOPMENT PREFERRED

~ SCAR H. SMITH, state commissioner of
J immigration, believes that land move
ment is definitely on in Minnesota To
substantiate this belief he cites the fact that
farm lands being purchased on a constantly
rising market, that farms are bringing prices
which have not been equalled since 1921 and that
continuous flow of inquiries to his office attests
healthy buyer interest in the state and its re-
sources.
The upward trend in land values is marked
yet Mr.. Smith not only refrains from character
izing the movement boom, but bluntly ex-
presses the hope that it will develop into no such
thing. Such position is eminently sound, and
will counter to the hopes and desires of no
who has the best interests of the state at
heart. The boom, it is very popularity con-
ceived, smacks of abnormal and unnatural
growth. 1t is often the product of unreason-
ing mob psychology in which ordinary sanity
and caution are cast to the winds in the zeal for
speculation and sudden wealth. 1t is the pendu-
lum which swings suddenly towards prosperity
pauses momentary at dizzy height, and dips
suddenly to retrace its course.
The present land movement in Minnesota
certainly does not of boom in any such
accepted sense. The resources of the state are
such that they easily absorb the extended
developments which are in store. The states
adaptabity to varied and profitable forms of
agriculture is asset permanent as it is
valuable; its lake and streams, supplied in prod
igal abundance, are possession which must be
numbered among its chief resources
Minnesota, fortunately is not a mine which
may be emptied of its treasure and abandoned
by reckless spectators 1t is significant that the
highest price recorded for farm land this spring
was in the heart of highly developed dairy
section; that the states potentialities as fur
farming center attracting national attention;
that its scenic and recreational advantages are
becoming an increasingly prominent factor in
the investors calculations. The trend is toward
sturdy development spurred by lively recogni-
tion of the states resources little more could be
asked in the way of growth, least of all the boom
which collapses of its own weght.-Minneapo-
Lis Tribune.

One local organization of women, the League
of Women Voters, has undertaken the job of

wood Falls. Now If the other organizations
will just help instead of hinder cooperate in
stead of compete, it were) that regretable situ-
alton may yet be cleaned up.

RENvILLE COUNTY WOMEN WIN

TT HE WOMEN of Renvie County, elimat
ed from jury service by their Board OF
County Commissioners, were indicated by
the decision of Judge Harold Baker of the Dis.
trict Court in the decision given March 10th
Judge Bakers decision reads:
1st-That the acts of said respond
ents the County Board of said Coun-
ty in preparing, certifying and filing said
jury lists as aforesaid SO as to omit and
exclude therefrom the names of all fe-
male voters of said County was arbi-
trary, Intentional unlawful and invalid
and that by reason thereof such jury
lists were not prepared in compliance
with law.
2nd-That the jury lists prepared
by said County Board as set forth in
Finding of Fact No. 4, be cancelled and
set aside and that said County Board
meet forthwith at the office of the
County Board of said County in the
Court House in the Village of Olivia in
said County, and then and there, without
discrimination, make and prepare jury
lists from the qualified voters of the
County, provided by law.
The Resolution which caused all the fracas
passed by the Board at its January meeting
and read thus:
ILLUMINATION of Women Jurors
Whereas the County Attorney,
James B. Baker, having recommended to
this Board that said Board eliminate and
do not list in its 1927 lists of jurors any
lady jurors, and
Whereas said County Board feeling
and believing it their duty to function
and cooperate with said County At
torney as to speed up the prosecution
of crime criminals and so as to rem
der every assistance available to the
prosecuting attorney, James B. Baker;
therefore be it resolved that we,
the Renville County Board will list
only male jurors in the 1927 list of jur-
to be certified to said Clerk of Dis
trict Court.
Resolution adopted"
Now that is settled and we hope no other
County Board ever again tries to submerge the
women of it's County. There is only one answer
to that sort of thing, and Judge Baker has given
it!

"a representative of large pub
fishing company, which publishes three
large magazines, was here Monday and
took up half day of the schools time
in organizing two teams that will go out
and boost for the publications named
above. The school is to get fifty cents for
each subscriber the contestant obtains.
It's fine scheme to boost the circula-
tion for these magazines and while they
are among the best published it does
not seem right that the school should be
made an egency to boost their circula-
ton. Our citizens will now be pestered
and perhaps have been by the students,
to subscribe for magazines they don't
want or don't care to take. Perhaps the
half day spent was well spent but to US
the taxpayers money could be spent to
better advantage than to listen to pro-
motion schemes by outsiders."-Ex.
This thing happened in some of
hools in Redwood County several years ago n
proved dead loss to everyone but the publis
g house. The school should be warned again
~ such procedure fact we know of no re
m why agents of any sort or description shou
J admitted to schools. either rural or tov
hools, on any pretext Whatsoever.
