MINNESOTA CROPS
ARE FAIR TO GOOD

The crops throughout the state of
Minnesota are reported as above the
average in some places, while in
others as fair. In the southern part
of the state, the corn is prospectively
in good condition with the hay crop a
little short on account of the lack of
rain at the opportune time earlier in
the summer. The small grain yield,
in places where it has been threshed,
is from Is to so bushels, which in
cludes wheat, barley, and oats.
In this section together with other
sections of the state, the potato, baga,
and other vegetable crops are reported
to be good and with fair price for
the products, the farmer will come
out on the right side of the ledger this
year it is hoped.

Weather Forced Married
Couples To Stay Home

The dance that was given for mar
ried couples Monday night was
sparsely attended due to the weather
conditions. About nine or ten couples
were there, nevertheless and reported
good time. Chris Eriksen, Mrs.

were on the last committee and have
decided to serve again on another
dance which will be given Monday
evening, September 10. The weather

OPENS
TUES. SEPT. 4
Meeting of Teachers To Be
Held Monday Afternoon
to Outline Work for Com
ing Year. Bus Lines An
nOunced.

BY Saturday of this week, all of the
teachers are expected to be in town
in preparation for the opening of
school on Tuesday morning. AS usual
a teachers meeting will be held on
the afternoon of September 3rd when
the plans for the years work will be
discussed.
The high school teachers have al
ready arrived and have been spending
some time during the past week in
arranging the work for the coming
year.
Because of some apparent misun-
derstanding regarding the compulsory
attendance law for school children,
the following explanation might be
necessary: The state law requires
that all children between the ages Of
eight and sixteen attend school every
day school is in session. This applies
whether or not the pupil has COM
pleted the work of the eighth grade.
The law states, however, that the
school board may excuse from further
attendance those children who have
satisfactorily completed the work of
the eighth grade for the time required.
In order to have completed the work
of the eighth grade satisfactorily it
is not necessary that the pupil shall
have passed all of the state examin-
ations, but it is necessary that the
required work in the grade as outlined
by the teacher is passed.
All such requests for excuses must
be presented to the school board or
the superintendent for approval with
in the first week of school or before.
1t should be understood, however,
that pupils in high school who have
to stay out Of school a great deal of
time cannot be expected to get credit
for their work as it is impossible for
them to do the required work if they
are out of school too much. A high
school ruling also states that any stu
dent who fails in two subjects during
the first semester will not be allowed
to enter during the second semester,

Aged Miner Tells
OF Prank Played
On Mark Twain
BY United Press Leased Wire

SEATTLE, Wash. July 3O.-FeW
people who note the r'odrst way in
which jim Dennison, -, now lives
realize ttat he once owned one third
ot a gold mine which has yielded
425, 900 600
Nearly 80 years ago, Hennison was
one Of the three owners OF the
lIomcstake Gold Mine in CaIifor-
mia. Not realizing the value OF his
holdings. he sold his interest for
100000 and spent the money. Now
he is living alone in poverty.
In spite Of the fact that Dcuni
son resides within 80 miles of
Seattle, he has not visited the city
for 30 years. He has never used a
telephone, nor has he ever ridden
in zone of these mcdern contrap-
tiong' known as elevators, he said.
One Of the noted events of his
life was the hoax that he and sever
al companions worked on Mark
Twain. The author claimed that the
event was 1.-THE most genuine scare
Of his life.
When Twain was entering the
town of Silver City, Nevada, to give
. lecture many years ago, Dcnmison
and some friends held up the stage
on the outskirts of town. The author
was relieved of $50.
At banquet thar night, it was
explained to Twain that the affair
was just a joke and the $50 was
returned.

W.C.T.U. PRESIDENT
SAYS PROHIBITION
TO REMAIN in i. S.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July
3o.-Prohibition in the United
States will not be repealed, Mrs,
i Ella a. Boole, president of the
/ American Women S Christian Tenn
/ Pcrance Union, last night told the
! 18th convention of the world S W.
/ C.T.U.
! Marvellous as have been the re
/ suits of prohibition we have not re
/ cclved the full benefit of this good
/ law because of the determined OPP
! position Of the liquor trade in those
| countries where it is not illegal to
manufacture, and of those who were
conerolled by greed, avarice and APP
petitc,' Mrs. Boole continued.
In most of the states the prohi-
bition law is as well observed and
enforced as any other law but there
are certain wet centerS which domi-
nate large section of the press and
Of public opinion. On the other
hand a study of the opposition to
prohibition as Indicated by the 50
wet bills introduced in the last con
gress. seeking to modify or repeal
prohibition, reveals the fact THAI
the authors Of these bills come from
only Eine states and that they live
in 10 cities s-New York and Buffa-
10, Newark, Detroit, st. Paul, Chica-
90, st. Louis, Baltimore. Boston and
Milwaukee.
"'These cities have been domnat
ed by massimilated immigrants who
have not had the benefit of the
years of education in total alsti.
ncnce. Social leaders who believe
immunity from law violation is
their right because they have pre-
war stocks of liquor or have the
money to purchase from the boot
logger, share responsibility for the
violation of this law.
''The election of Il congress is
the real referendum ON national pro
hibition. This congress has failed
to report any of the proposed wet
bills; and recent votes in the House
ef Representatives show chat this
popular body, representing Ameri-
can opinion now contains more dry
members than it contained the day
it passed the federal prohibition
law. The American congress is
standing back of the lSth Amend
mcnt.
I'm conclusion, prohibition in
America will not be repealed. Gov
ernment control VIII not supplant
prohibition in the United States, for
government control means govern
mcnt sale and the bartender be
comes Il government agent. Coy
crnment control does not solve the
problems Of manufacture or trans
