Family Of Amos Hale Ask
Investigation Of His Death
Numerous Evidences that Young
Man Was Murdered-No Mo-
tive for Suicide is Known .st

Members of the Amos Hale fam
lily are strongly of the opinion that
Amos Hale, Jr., who was reported
to have committed suicide in Min
neapolis on Saturday, July IA, was
murdered. &aa
They state that the underclothes
worn by Amos were very much
stained with blood and there hav-
ing been nothing in his manner of
death to have caused this bleeding
they regard the coroner's report
Of suicide~as without proper foun-
dation. They also report that the
young man was wounded. cut and
bruised about the abdomen and one
leg. They are not satisfied with
the decision of the authorities that
death was the result of suicide and
are asking for further investiga-
ton of the case. The blood stain
ed underclothes which he wore at
the time the body was discovered
were returned to the Hale home
here with other belongings left by
the young man and it was this in
cident of the blood stains on the
undergarments, the wounds on
the body together with other cir
cumstances which has prompted
the relatives and friends of the
young man to doubt the idea of

suicide and to ask for an investi-
cation as to foul play.
Amos was a very quiet and re-
served young man. He had good
habits and there was nothing what
ever in his life or actions to in
dictate a reason for suicide. He
had left his home only few days
before he was discovered dead in
the Glenwood hotel, Minneapolis,
and when he left here was in his
usual health and spirits. There
was absolutely nothing to suggest
or indicate that he had any such
idea in his mind as the taking of
his life. He had frequently gone
to Minneapolis in the past several
years where he had never had any
trouble in getting work and while
in Minneapolis had usually stayed
at the Glenwood hotel, so that the
surroundings were familiar to him.
He felt quite at home there and
knew a good many around the
place.
The chief of police, Minneapolis,
is being asked to look into the mat
ter further and this he will I'M
doubtedly do. In their sad be-
reavement Mr.. and Mrs. Hale and
family have the sympathy of all
their friends and neighbors. Mr..
and Mrs. Hale are old settlers of
our community and Amos, their
son, enjoyed an excellent reputa-
tion as a young man of character
and standing. In the efforts of
the family to have this case in
vestigated, the facts learned and
justice established, they will have
the support and backing of the en-
tire community. - Long Prairie

New Map Folder and Book
let Big Boost to Minnesota
Advantages of State Outlined by
10000 Lakes, Greater Mime
sofa Association

Telling of the advantages OF
Minnesota as a place in which to
live is the purpose of new book
let which has just been published
by the Ten Thousand Lakes Asso-
citation and the Greater Minneso-
ia Association.
The new publication is in reality
an agricultural map folder. On
| one side there is a map of the state
showing the various counties
highways, railroads and giving 9TH
err information that would be de-
sired by a prospective citizen. On
the other side the agricultural ad-
vantages of the state are set forth.
Attention of the prospective
settler is called to the fact that
there will never be a better time
than the present to invest in Min
'nesota; that prices are reasonable
and that all kinds of farms from
the fully improved to the wild
undeveloped lands are available at
attractive terms. - ;
The new folder tells of the pro-
gress Minnesota has made in re-
cent years in farm development
while many other states have been
going backward agriculturally. 1t
tells of the markets which are af-
forded in the busy smaller cities of
the state as well as the three great
terminals, Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth. The advantages of
cooperative marketing in which
Minnesota leads are set forth and
information is given concerning
the fertility of soil and the various
crops which do we'll here.
Attention is called to the fact
that transportation facilities are
the best, with more than 5000
miles of railroads and 100000
miles Of public highways, 1000
miles of which are included in the
state trunk system. The desira-
bility Of Minnesota as a place in
which to live because of her splen.1
did educational system, her fine
cities, her healthful climate and
her recreational advantages is al
so brought out.
The first of the booklets were
sent out to more than 600 mail in
quiries which were received from
advertising placed by the asso-
Citations in national publications
during the months of May and
June.

Watch Signs! Is Plea
to Night Drivers
Four Shapes of Markers Warn OF
-Four Kinds of Hazards on
Highways

Watch the signs at night, is the
suggestion of the Minnesota High
way department. 1t will help to
prevent accidents and make night
driving easier, says a bulletin
from Commissioner G. M. Bah
cocks office.
Warning signs calling attention
to az Lroaching turns, curves, cross
roads, railroad crossings and other
hazs rds, are placed just outside the
roadway, about 80 inches high,
where the light from the headlamps
W, strike them. They are placed
just far enough back from the
tirn or crossing to give drivers
ample time to slow up or stop ii
necessary.
The warning signs have black
letters with a yellow background,
this color combination having been
found most visible under general
conditions. Under normal condi-
lions, the words on the sign may
be easily read by the light of TIE
head lamps, but if motorists will
RENE mber that the shape of the
sign also means something, they
will know what to look for wheG
tn. words cannot be read.
There are four classes of warn
ing signs, each with different
shape, as follows:
Ortagonal, requiring full stop
Used at approach to Through
roads and at railroad crossings
where law requires full stop.
Diamond shape, used at turns
| curves, hills and similar hazards
which require slowing down.
Square signs, used to designate
cross roads, schools and other con
ditions which require caution but
which do not always require slow
ing down.
Round signs, used as advance
signal to warn of approach to rail
road crossing, placed some distance
back from the crossing. The octa
gonal "stop" sign when used il
placed near the point where the
stop must be made.
The heavy traffic on many of the
main highways is causing a steady
increase in night driving. The
warning signs, by facilitating night
driving, are actually increasing
the daily capacity of the highways
Correctly adjusted headlights
which illuminate the road without
binding approaching drivers, also
i make night driving easier.
The increased use of the high.
ways at night has caused the Min
nesota Highway department to in.
stall luminous signs on T. H. No
1, from Owatonna to Duluth. The
ordinary warning signs, though
easily seen in ordinary circum-
stances, are sometimes difficult to
see when there is a steady stream
of approaching headlights. The
new type signs, with glass letters
which reflect the light at night, are
easily seen in spite of the oncom-
ing headlights. The installation on
No. 1 is in the nature of an, ex-
pertinent to determine if the adj
vantages of the new type signs
justify the added cost. .
