The Central Minnesota Golf
Tournament which was played ov-
er the Sank Centre Country Club
course Monday and Tuesday, July
8, 10, was the most successful ever
held by the organization.
Every town where these tourna-

The association officers, Presi-

the cooperation of President D.

the Country Club had the course
in splendid condition for the
tour nament.
Dignitaries of Minnesota golfers
were on hand to compete for the
various prizes. D. N. Tallman, #

The stock and fixtures have been
purchased by the J. c.. Penney
Co. The stock will be closed out.
Incidentally watch for the large
closing out announcement in the

The announcement of Mr.. Sui

came as complete surprise to the
people of this community.
A. J. Lies, local manager for the
J. C. Penney Co., first preached

Leader about two weeks ago. The
gentleman was in a receptive mood
as he had been confined very close

ing up one of the most successful
mercantile businesses in Central
Minnesota.
Mr.. Flanagan, of St. Cloud,
and Mic Classen, of Devils Lake,
both old time store managers with
the Penny organization, came to
Sank Centre and looked over the
situation. Mr.. Classen remained
and assisted Mr.. Lies in closing
negotiations and taking the in

and the store opened this Thurs
day morning under the new man
agement.
In an interview with the Herald
editor Wednesday Mr.. Sullivan
stated that he hadn't any plans fo.

this excellent family will continue
to make Sank Centre their home.
The gentleman said that they
would play around for a while do

desired to visit for some time.
They will have returned to the
city and settled down in time for

Supreme Court Defines
Town Board Duties
Settles Road Dispute
Clearly in Decision Affecting
Watonwan County

"A decision of interest to town
ship officials and others interested
in road improvements was handed
down last week by the Minnesota
supreme court in which the court
confirms the right of town boards
to use their discretion and judy
ment in determining certain ques-
tions pertaining to road improve
ments. The court holds that man.
damus proceedings cannot be used
to control or coere the discretion
or judgment conferred upon pub
lie officials. They can be used
only to com pei the performance
of a duty which the law clearly
and positively requires an official
or tribunal to perform. Discretion
is the power or right of acting Of
ficially according to what appears
best and Appropriate under the cir
cumstances. 1t can not be con-
trolled, says the court.
The specific case came from
Long Lake, Watonwan county.
Ten years ago the board denied a
petition for the establishment of a
road. This was reversed by the
district court and the road estaJb-
lished, but the board did nothing
to improve the road. Mandamus
proceedings were started, and the
district court ordered the board
to open and improve the road. The
board appealed.
The decision points out that mon
eys appropriated at the annual
town meetings were not approp-
priated for one particular road.
They were voted for general roads
and bridges of the town, some for
grading, some for culverts or
bridges, some for repairs or grav-
cling. The board must say when,
where and what for it is to be
spent. The board is charged with
the duty of opening the road in
question. ''They have also their
duty in reference to roads gener-
ally anud for which the money was
appropriated. The extent, nature
and relative Importance of this i'm
provement with other improve
ments, repairs and maintenance
which may he deemed to be neces-
sary throughout the town are mat
tiers concerning which, in. general,
the discretion of the supervisors,
and not of the courts, must be ex-
ercised."
While holding that the lower
court erred in finding that there
were funds available for the inn
provement, the opinion says that
even if there are funds available
and sufficient for this project, that
is not enough. 1t must be made
to appear that there are funds
sufficient to carry out this project
and also to do whatever else may,
in the reasonable discretion of the
board, be needful on other town
roads. The supreme court upholds
the portion of the lower courts or
der which directs the town board
to remove fences and Instructions
and open the road, but the time
and expense of the improvements
is left to the board.

Agricultural Interests In
Minnesota Looking Up
Inquiries Coming, to the 10000
Lakes Association for Farm
Lands Justify Conclusion

Officials of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association and the Greater
Minnesota Association are pleased
with the returns of agricultural in
quiries received from advertising
placed this year and believe that
Minnesota is due for new agricul-
tural and industrial development.
Since the opening of the 1923 ad-
vertising campaign $40, inquiries
have been received for farm lands
and more are pouring into the Of
fees daily.
To take care of those asking for
agricultural information on Mime
sofa new agricultural booklet and
map is now being printed and will
be ready within a few days. This
map which shows the railroads and
roads of the state, the county
lines and all the important towns
will also carry a number of agri-
cultural pictures and some SPLEEN
did material concerning farming
opportunities here.
In the returns from advertising
placed this spring, Otto C. New
man, president of the Greater Min
nesota Association sees evidence
that the eyes Of the nation are
turning to Minnesota as a place in
which to live. Speaking of the
campaign he said: "The response
is much greater than we anticipat-
ed and there is every indication
that Minnesota will gain many new
citizens within the coming months.
An interesting feature is that not
only nearby states, but in all parts
of the nation there is growing in
terest in Minnesota. Many of the
inquiries received at headquarters
came from Florida, California and
other distant states, anad every
thing points to an increase in the
number Of new citizens coming to
our state"
From the advertising efforts of
the Ten Thousand Lakes Associa-
ton there have been a great num-
Der of inquiries for lakeshore prop
erty, the total number received by
July / being 1893. More inquiries
concerning vacations have also
been received this year than ever
before.

BUILD new SLIDES
Park Shops Make Boards
of Improved Design.

A playground slide, which is
proving successful in indianapolis
Fairgrounds this year, is being made
in the park shops at Brookside. The
new slide is made with angle iron
supports instead Of wood, and is
much more stable. The iron used is
strapped from old equipment. Cost
of production is less than half the
price formerly paid to outside
manufacturers.
Another innovation in the design
is in the handrail beside the ladder
of the slide, which is firmly bolted
so it can not slip.
In the old slides the handrails
were set in the wood. Wear soon
made them loosen, and necessitated
frequent replacement.
Park and recreation department
shops were merged this year under
superintendent of A. ). Bruce, in
an effort to better production and
curtail expense. With the greater
among of work passing through the
shop more specialization has been
possible than before.

ChiIdrenS Health Camp
Stresses Sunlight Baths

the curse of disease. In modern
times heliotherapy has been prac-
ticed more or less in France since
the end of the eighteenth century"
DR.. Morgan today emphasized the
fact that heliotharapy is one of the
important remedial factors in the
new child nutrition camp at Bridge
port.
He quoted the Children's Bureau
Bulletin further:
1.-THE first specific use of sunlight
for the treatment of tuberculosis
was made by the physicians of Lyons
about 1910, but it was not put on a
sound scientific basis until 1908
when Roller opened his clinic in
Sutherland. Today many hundreds
of children and adults with bone
and gland tuberculosis go to Switz-
erland to be treated with sun baths.
The best heliotherapy consist of
light baths (sun baths) and not heat
baths, and may be practiced at any
altitude or in any place where the
sunlight is clear. Switzerland is no
longer the only place where tubercu-
losis children may be seen playing
with very little clothes on in the
sun or lying on outdoor sun porches.
In many parts of this country, just
such scenes are common today"
DR.. Morgan emphasized that the
child nutrition camp at Bridgeport
is not a tuberculosis camp but is
operated merely as preventorium,
designed to rebuild the undernour-
ished child to normal condition so
that his resistance against disease
may be high.
