Skunk Harmless II
He Is Treated Right

Periodical reports are regularly
and frequently printed in the pa
pers at this time of year Of
skunks appearing and stampeding
citizens, policemen and other Off
Gals as if they were the German
army and yellow fever combined in
stead of being as friendly and harm
lesc as an ordinary cat.
One was found in a schoolhouse
and instead of being allowed to de-
part in peace a posse was raised
and the "critter" shot and school
dismissed for the day. The inter.
esting figure is that the skunk al.
ways has to be killed and trouble
started; in the country the incident
attracts little attention and the
skunk is not molested, but city peo-
pie seem to take an aggressive
course.
A skunk is usually able to depart
the way he entered and if not i'm
posed upon will seldom start any
thing. II met on the sidewalk,
porch or in the woodshed as a So
cial equal, he will be as friendly
as you are.-Canaan Reporter.

Last week William Simmer re-
modelled his blacksmith shop,
which stands on Oak street south
of the Lee House, into an attrac.
tive one-story structure. The
building formerly was a two-story
affair and as the upper story was
not being utilized the move was
well warranted. Mr.. Simmer has
now caused the building and sur
roundings to assume a brighter as
pect.
Leo Hedin, of Minneapolis, has
started building operati ms at the
rear of the Burg store for the err
ection of thirty foot brick aidi-
ton to the structure. Monday, the
excavation for the nasemen. was
commenced. With :he volume of
business and the reple5e stock car
ried by the Burg company, the
present quarters are rather con-
| TESTED, but with the additional
store space now being built there
will be ample room for the proper
displaying of stock.

Begging for Auto Rides
is Under Ban of Police
State Law Prohibits Dangerous
Practice-Will Be Enforced
in ST. Paul

Announcement by the st. Paul
police that they will enforce the
ordinance against soliciting rides
from the streets and highways calls
attention to the fact that the state
law also prohibits this practice.
The law reads:
"No person shall stand in the
travelled portion of roadway for
the purpose of or while soliciting
a ride from the driver of any W
hicle other than "a common car
rier."
Another section of the law says
that "no person shall ride in or
jump into or upon any vehicle
without the consent of the driver"
Recently two st. Paul men
tagged another for a ride, which
was granted. In an accident a few
seconds later one of them was
killed and the other man and. the
driver were injured.
Standing in streets or highways
begging for rides is an extremely
dangerous practice, but it is done
by many school children and some
grown-ups. But it il. well to re-
member that even if the law
against this practice is not enforc-
ed, those who violate this rule
may he caught in accidents which
are more serious than arrests.
The st. Paul police, besides ar
resting offenders, propose to start
a campaign of education through
the schools.
