INSTALLS DICTAPHONE

Attorney K. J. Mcdonald has in.
stalled a dictaphone in his law office
The dictaphone is, an electric device
which enables one to dictate into the
speaker and the voice is recorded or
a cylinder record, similar to the Edi-
son photograph record. The records
are permanent. The other part OF
the machine is similar to phono-
graph with ear phones and driven by
a motor controlled by a foot lever.
Thus an answer to a letter may be
dictated at the most convenient
time, and the stenographer type
writes the letter later. For example
the lawyer may dictate his answer
to letter at his convenience and his
stenographer later in another room
by the record on the other machine
hears the dictation and writes the
letter. The foot lever controls the
record so the dictation is taken up at
the speed desired. Both the part
making the record and the part re-
producing the records may be turned
back for alterations and corrections
at will.
After the records have been used
they may be put in a machine which
shaves off thin layer and used
again.-Walnut Grove Tribune.

SCHOOL CHARTER
CHANGE AT MANKATO
DEFEATED BY MARGIN

During the past several months a
number of citizens of Mankato have
been advocating change in the con-
duct of the Mankato public schools.
They proposed changing the system
from special form of charter to that
of an independent school district
charter. At a meeting held Wednes-
day evening of last week, and which
was attended by about 500 citizens
the matter came up for decision.
After considerable parley a vote
was taken and the proposition was
defeated by vote Of 266 to 100.
There can be no question but that
the affairs Of the district can be
better conducted under a charter in
an independent district as in New
Ulm, than under a special charter as
in Mankato. In the first place the
number of members of the board are
fewer and there is therefore less
chance for politics entering into the
activities of the board.-Brown Co.

DR.C.L.HANSON OF
MORGAN SUMMONED
Succumbed Last Week at RO.
chester HOspital-Leayes
Wife and One Son

DR.. Glen L. Hanson, Morgan vet
Urinary, and a former Sleepy Eye
youth, passed away Wednesday of
last week at the Worrel hospital at
Rochester, after an illness of only
two weeks, caused by poisoning. He
was but 20 years Of age at the time
of his death.
While at the hospital at Rochester
reports received in this community
indicated that his condition was very
serious and news of his death came
as a shock to friends in this vicini-
ty.
Death was attributed to poisoning,
and it is believed that he contracted
the affliction in the work of his pro-
fession. When the case of poisoning
developed he went to a specialist at
Minneapolis and on December 9Th he
went to Rochester where it was
found that his condition required the
best of medical skill, but all efforts
to save his life were futile.
DR.. Hanson, a son of Mrs. Louis
Hanson of Eden township, and form
erly Of this city, was but 20 years of
age. He was an ex-service man and
enlisted in South Dakota, shortly
after this country entered the world
conflict. He was teaching school at
the time.
Taking the veterinary course at
Ames, Iowa, DR.. Hanson graduated
from the Ames College and located at
Morgan in 1925, where he had built
up a splendid practice. He was a
member of the Masonic order, and
took an active interest in the civic
affairs of his community.
Deceased is survived by his grief
stricken widow and one son, Robert,
seven years old.

They were saving wood at the
home of their father, John Olson, a
short distance from Storden. The
saw was being operated by a tractor,
and the fly wheel evidently got more
speed than it could stand. When the
wheel went to pieces the fragments
were hurled with tremendous force
in two directions from the saw. One
caught Harry Olson and literally de-
capitated him, severing the head al
most entirely from the body. To the
others present it was a most horri-
flying sight.
Marvin, his twelve year old broth
er, was sitting on the tractor, in the
opposite direction from the saw. One
of the pieces caught him with such
force as to sever the arm from his

rushed to the hospital at Slayton,
but because of the loss of blood and
the shock, he succumbed that even
ing. The arm was taken off right at
the body.
Those who were present say that it
is almost impossible to imagine the
force with which the pieces were
hurled through the air. Some Of
them were found one thousand feet
away from the saw.
Mr.. Olson was perhaps twenty-sev,
en- or eight years old, and had been
married three years. He leaves his
wife and one child to mourn his loss.
They live on a farm north of Stor-
den. The entire countryside was
shocked at the terrible accident,
which is one of the worst that has
occurred in the history. of the coun-
ty. The two deaths are a terrific
blow to family and friends. Cotton

WHAT is A DEBENTURE?

"Debenture" is derivative from
the Latin words debentur mihi-
there is owing to me-" The term
is commonly used in financial circles.
The debenture feature of the farm
relief bill, as favored by the senate
and opposed by the house, provides
that for every bushel of wheat, fol
instance, that is exported by far
mer, he shall receive from the govern.
ment a certificate (debenture) gooo
for 81 cents. This is one-half the
tariff on wheat imported to this coun
try.
The 21-cent debenture is only gooe
for payment of tariff charges. The
farmer will sell this debenture tt
business men who import goods. The
business men will use the debenture
for payment of tariff charges.
Opponents of the debenture charge
that it is bounty to the farmer. De
tenders reply that it is no more {
bounty than is the tariff.

This question calls imperatively

And while communities are investi-

other public institutions can come in

life in school fires shames the nation.

UNIONS BOOST MEMBERSHIP

The International Association OF
Machinists and the international
Union of Operating Engineers each
report increases in membership OF
some $500 since the first of the year.
Other unions report substantial mem
bership gains.
1t is notable that the unions which
are making aggressive membership
campaigns, as in the case of the
machinists and operating engineers,
are the ones making the biggest
membership gains. What they have
accomplished shows what virtually
any trade union can do if it tackles
organization work with energy and
determination. That there is apathy
among workers toward organization
is generally admitted. But it should
not be forgotten that apathy can be
overcome by hard work, which many
unions are proving.

NOT PEACE MAKERS

Tension increases in Elizabethton,
with hundreds of ramed soldiers,
many anxious to exercise their au-
thority, filling the streets of the town
and surrounding the mills, whose
workers are striking for American
standards of wages. Ill-feeling is
growing, and day by day it is harder
to avoid trouble.
Ill-feeling always increases when
soldiers intervene in strike diff
Guilty Local citizens and peace off
GERS regard themselves as competent
to deal with local problems and quite
properly resent the presence of armed
outsiders, who may or may not un-
derstand local questions.

community is invariably unwise. In
stead of bringing peace, they bring
an atmosphere of war and complicate

SOLDIERS WOULD TERRIFY
WOMEN

Witnesses before the senate conf
mittee on manufactures testified that
women constitute rs per cent of Eliz-
abe<hton strikers.
The employees suspended work to
check wholesale victimization of their
more active associates after the first
strike secured them small wage in
creases.
Eight hundred soldiers are armed
with machine guns that are parked
on the highways and are mounted or
the roofs of buildings.
The strikers demand that Governor
Horton end this intimidation, punish
kidnapers, re-establish law and cal
for living wage, rather than at
tempt to break the strike and drive
workers back to the mills.

SENATORS TOLD OF LOW WAGES
TO GIRLS IN SOUTHERN MILLS

Girls employed in the rayon mills
have nothing left when they pay for
their board and for the barest neces-
sary expenses Margaret Bowen, of
Elzabethton, told senators who are
holding hearings on resolution to
investigate southern textile labor
conditions.
The witness is young girl, soft
spoken and self possessed, although
this is the farthest she ever was from
home. She is secretary of the union
that was organized after the walk
out. She told the senators that out
of her $1,000 weekly wage she paid
$5 for room and board, 81 for bus
fare, 81 for laundry and 81 for in
surance.
Miss Bowen denied strikers violat-
ed the law, but said they had been
"agitated and aggravated almost to
death" One girl was even fined for
fainting. Others were fined for pow
dering their noses.
In referring to the clubbing by
policemen, she said "this was not a
nice thing to do"
Miss Matilda Lindsay, field repre-
sentative of the National Women's
Trade Union League, said the Eliza
bethton strike was the voluntary
action of employees and was in no way
connected with outside influences.
