Reserve-Sunday's ball game went

stone. Next Sunday the boys will
take on Flaxville at Medicine Lake.
Church services in the school house
last Sunday evening were well at
tended. 1t is evident that spirituality
is strong in this community if it is
appealed to by the right type of man.
We hope that the Rev. Stowell con-
tinues his work.
Next Sunday evening, May Goth,
the community will be entertained by
the Hugo and Nina Johnson Concert
Company. This pair of musicians are
coming with good recommendations,
and are said to be even better than
Skaarning who made such a hit a
few years ago with his ACCORDION.
The Company will render music in
accordance with the Day and promi-
ses to be different from the ordinary
entertainmentand dance.
The school year will come to 9

both teachers and pupils will be g
nabled to enjoy a long and much
needed holiday.
We notice a large quantity Of botf
wheat and flax being shipped t.
various points along the line, evident
ly for seed purposes. A lot of very
fine grain had been produced in this
district last year and it is a fine
thing for farmers in neighborinl
communities to be able to procure
such fine seed so close to home.

The Mother


That grey haired lady who sits by the
window
For whom is she waiting and watch
ing l wonder.
Her son, coming home gayly from
school
Or her daughter whom she considers
her jewel.
My Mother
Mother, It's the dearest name a per-
son knows
1t follows him wherever he goes
May never your tears be spent on me
Because I've gone astray from thee.
You've longed for me to be good and
true
| see in my dreams the figure of you;
You're urging me on to u life worth
while
You beckon me on, and calmly smile.
| pledge myself to you my mother
dear
And all other mothers who this
world cheer
May | be the nan you want me to be
For that is the joy you wanted to see.

REJECT THEORY
ON NEON LIGHT

The popular belief that the light
of neon-tubes has super-penetrst ton
powers in foggy, rainy and snowy
weather, was exploded yesterday by
the U. s. Bureau Of Standards.
Scientists there announced that ex.
tensive tests show 1t has only the
same powers as incandescent and
other electric lights Of the same
color and candle power.
1t has been generally accepted.
particularly throughout aeronautic
circles, that neon-tube light will
penetrate fog where incandescent
lamps will not.
Neon-tube lights, becoming In
creasingly popular for use in cleo

MAY FACE TRIAL
BOARD NEXT
WEEK

Graft charges hurled at
members Of the Third precinct
by Policeman James w. Ander-
son have been found to be
without foundation, according
to a report filed with Major
Henry G. Pratt, superinten-
dent Of police, today by Lieut..
Joseph Morgan.
Early in June, Anderson was
hailed before the Police Trial Board
for failure to pay certain debts
and in the course of the hearing
announced that he coud not pay
because he did not take graft a.
did certain other policemen in the
Third precinct.
Given Time in Matter
Pressed for specific instances Of
men taking money from bootleggers
and other law violators, Anderson
was unable to do 10 at that time
but was given an opportunity to
run down such rumors Of grating
that he had heard floating about
the precinct.
Ihe result OF the investigation
shows that the only person Ander-
son was able to locate was .
woman who was supposed to have
been in the house OF a notorious
botlegger when a policeman from
the Third precinct was paid $50 to
LAY off,"
The man who is supposed to have
paid the money, according to the
report. has a long police record
and has had his place padlocked.
Anderson probably will be brought
before the trial board on charges
but Just what they will be has not
been determined. It is likely, how
ever. that the specifications will
charge him with making q false
statement.
Major Pratt expressed his entire
confideTS,e in the personnel of the
Third precinct, but said that he
wanted to give Anderson every OPP
portunity to support the charges he
had made.
Any charges which may be
brought against Anderson win prob
ably be prepared and served on him
early next week.

Simmons request is in line with
observations recently made by mem

the Senate District Committee. to
the effect that the streets of the
Capital are overcrowded by parked
automobiles.
This phase of the local traffic
problem will be treated by the bu.

it was indicated today by Assistant
Director Murphy.

subject" he said. "but we do not
propose to finish II until later in the
