STRANGERS COMMIT
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
AT FAIRFAX

The Fairfax Standard reports that
that village was the scene of a high
way robbery on Wednesday night of
last week, when three strangers
knocked down and robbed William
Deppert, a well known character of
that community. The strangers struck
up an acquaintance with Deppert at
the depot, learned of his rooming
place, and connived to attack him,
which they did when Deppert was
about to enter the hotel where he
roomed. Deppert's face was badly
swollen from the cowardly encounter
and he was relieved of his cash. The
strangers were still at large when the
account was reported by the Stand
ard. One Of the trio was connected
with carnival troup that visited
Fairfax last summer, being recogniz-
ed by several citizens while lettering
about town that day.

WINTER BEST TINE
TO IMPROVE WOODLOT

Farmers who own wood lands can
materially improve them at this sea-
son Of the year, says Parker Ander-
son, forester with the extension di-
vision of the University of Mime
sofa, by proper cutting and judicious
use. Timber is handled easier in
winter; horses used in the process
can earn part of their winter board.
Harvest your timber crop by re-
moving for fuel wood the diseased,
dead and down trees, and the trees
which are crowding out younger trees
of better Species" says Mr.. Ander-
son. Watch the second growth COM
ing on; poor tree may often prevent
valuable one from growing. Make
your cutting an improvement cutting
so that the final stand will be even
more valuable and capable of giving
larger financial returns than the or
iginal stand. Winter cut logs are
better than those cut in summer, for
timber cut now seasons more evenly
and is not subject to insect attacks
like summer cut logs.
Start cutting this winter with
definite future plans in mind. Lay
out an acre or so and go over it sys-
tematically; cut the trees which
should come out to improve the ap-
pearance and the future value of the
wOodlot."

JUDGE A. b. GISLASON
GIVES DECISION

Judge A. B. Gislason handed down
a decision last Thursday in the case
of Attorneys Pfaender & Glotzbach
and Attorneys Streissguth & Fordyce
VS.. the directors Of the State Bank of
Sleepy Eye in favor of the plaintiffs
who were seeking to obtain fees in
the amount of more than $4,000 for
services the directors in their suit
against Edward F. Berkner for set
Element of claims which the bank held
against him.
1t will be remembered that officers
of the bank made settlement with Mr..
Berkner out of court, thus ending
that action as trustees of the old
banks affairs, felt that the amount
asked, approximately $4,000 by Pa
faender & Glotzbach and approx
mately $4,000 by Streissguth & For
dyce, was exhorbitant and unfair to
the depositors.
The case was taken before Judge
Gislason, Attorney Albert Hauser of
Sleepy Eye acting for the bank direc-
tors.
Judge Gislason's decision gives
both firms of attorneys the exact
amount they claimed for services.
Cashier A. d. Bertrand stated that
the case will be appealed to the State
Supreme court. He further stated
that the directors of the bank still
feel that the fees are exhorbitant and
unfair to the depositors. and that the
directors will not feel they have done
their full duty until they get re-
duction or a decision from the SUI
preme court denying same.-Sleepy

Gou. Christensen Urges
Putting On Brakes

al expenditures since the war the
total tax bill of the American people
in 1926 was only $227,000,0OO lower
than in the peak year of 1920. The
cost of state government has nearly
doubled since 1919, and more than
trebled since 1913"
The governor pointed to the chang
ed value of the dollar as one cause for
the increase but greater than this, he
said, are laxness of executive con-
troll, duplication of activities, loose
checking of expense accounts, pay
rolls. the selection of employees on a
political basis rather than with re-
gard to efficiency, unwise financing
The government has too large a pay
roll, he said, pointing out that with
the government increasing laws and
duties its army of enforcement must
increase.

LAMBERTON SCHOOL
CHILDREN BADLY HURT

Two school children attending a
district school ten miles south of LAM
berton were seriously injured during
the high wind last Thursday while
playing on a Giant Stride swing in
the school yard. Unknown to the
teacher, Miss Hazel Downs, Oren
Kaushagen and Lucille Holland,
mounted the swing in the high wind,
and the terrific force of the gale
blew it at such a speed that the chill
dren could not stop it. The Kau-
shagen boy was thrown. off and
against the stone foundation of the
school. He was picked up unconscious
and rushed to the Heron Lake hos
pital, where upon an examination it
was found that he had suffered a
fracture of the skull and other injur-
les. 1t was feared that his injuries
would prove fatal. The Holland girl
had an arm broken and her face bad
ly cut by being thrown violently
against the ground.

 Former Governor Colqquitt of Dal- las sprang to his feet shouting ''let all good Democrats retire.." Imme- diately there was wild confusion throughout the auditorium and anti Smithies arose in body and held aloft banners some of which read, "all women are for Hoover; eight cocktails daily with Az "a full din- ner- pail" with Hoover.
 The bolting delegates then start ed for the exits and amid the tur moil as they filed out shouted back goodbye Tammany" They were an wered with a roar "get out you Rep uhlicans."

NO ACTION TAKEN BY COUNCIL 0N THE
 SCHOOL OFFERS
BIDS SUBMITTED FOUND TOO HIGH FOR s5oooo BOND ISSUE
 VOTED BY TOWN

Seward now has $50,O0O available, ready to be spent but does not know what to do with it. Bids are before the Common Council but they are al most $10,000 too strong, and there seems no possibility of accepting any one of them. In the meantime, the building committee of the Council is hLrriedly going over the plans in an effort to "cut the cloth" to the size Of the appropriation, in the hope that a new school house can still be achieved before the close of the pres ent school year. Their revised speci fications will be submitted to an ad- iouIned meeting of the Council to- morrow night and it is possible that some concrete suggestion or plan will be adopted which will permit early inception of building operations. However, it is pretty generally adr nitted by the Councilmen themselves that new plans entirely will have to De issued because the proposed plans apparently will not permit of the construction of the school and gym raeirr7 ot cost of less thao S5n GOO to say nothing Of furnishing and equiping the school building ard gymnasium.
 At last nights meeting o1 the Councll t4A-Ie Were lour D4us suDm,t- ted but one of them was only bid for the excavation of the basement.
 The Robinson Construction Co.,. of Seq, had submitted a blI y specified that il was only open for 10 days and the time had expired before the bid actually was opened. They offered to build the school house for $51,000, would take care of the ad- denda alterations for $500, would do the eXcavating for $500 and would build the gymnasium for $7,OOO or total of $60,300
 Gerhard Johnsen and Gust A. Pet erson, local contractors bid $47,S00 including the disposal tank but ex- cluding the gymnasium
 The Warrack Construction Co.,, of Seattle offered to construct the main building for $4S,700, the gymnasium for $7,000, the disposal tank for $2S0 and would do the concrete walks at 25 cents per square foot. NJ B. Nal Toy made an offer of $125 per cubic yard for the excavation.
 The Council had previously can vassed the votes and officially certf fled that the City of Seward had okeyad the bond issue by the 65 per cent required. In fact it was an overwhelming vote Of 20 to one for tha bonds. It was then resolved that the Council should accept the offer of the Bank of Seward to take the bonds, that offer permitting an i'm mediate credit of $15,0O0 for the preliminary work
 It was then that the bids were opened and the big snag was struck. Deep disappointment reigned as every Councilman had ardently de- sired that such bids might have been received as would permit the immad- tate letting of the contract and the beginning of construction work. It TOW becomes evident that the plans call for more than the money availa- bla will permit wherefore it becomes necessary, says Mayor Ray to cut the plans down to within the limits of the appropriation, allowing not more than s4O,000 for the school building and gymnasium and s1o,ooo for equipment

LONDON, May 12.-Substantial
progress in the endless war waged
by science against cancer was des-
cribed in postgraduate lecture at
the University of Leeds by Or. G. E.
GakJ, director of the surgical unit
at st. Bartholomew Hospital, Lon-
don, who declared that radium
treatment has cured a considerable
number of undoubtedly malignant
tumors.
The tumors were observed to dis
appear after exposure to rays OF
radium, DR.. GaSk stated. Reports
from various research Oenters
showed that in a majority of cases
in which hemorrhage was present,
it disappeared after irradiation,
though in some cases 1t returned
later.
Out Of siXty-nine cases in which
tumor formation was noted, it was
found to have disappeared COM
pletely in sixty cases after expos
ure to radium rays.
