Is Lakes Dry In One
Year In Martin County

At least 16 of Martin county's
lakes, all of which had water in them
within the last two years, are dry as
the result of the continued drouth,
says the Fairmont Sentinel.
Save for a few small mudholes,
the areas that were covered with as
much as six or eight feet of water
are now overgrown with vegetation.
In a few instances the lake bot
toms still are covered with a few
inches of water, but, as in the case
of Temperance lake near Sherburn,
"a snipe can walk across without
getting his knees wet"
At least 50 lakes have disappeared
completely in the last half century
in Martin county alone. All abound
ed with fish, water fowl and fur
bearing animals, many with wooded
shores - community beauty spots
that never can be restored by arti-
fetal means.
The fifty lakes referred to do not
include the Is that have gone dry
this summer, for it is hoped and ex-
pected that rains and snow will re-
store the latter within a few years.
The others, however, have been COM
pletely drained and the land titled so
that to the casual observer or new
conner they never existed.

BODY OF UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND AT WILLMAR YARDS

The body Of the unknown man kill
ed in the railroad yards at Willmar
was buried in the potter's field at
Fairview. All efforts at identified
ton failed. Before burial pictures
were taken and Sheriff Paul E. An
derson made finger prints record.
The man was about 40 years old,
about feet z inches tall and weigh
ed about It's younds. He had dark
brown hair. His left eye was gone,
and there was only one tooth in the
upper jaw. He wore glasses and on
a case for the glasses was the name
Of an Ashland, Wis, jeweler, this
being the only clue to Identification
found on the body.
Just how this man came to his
death is not known except that a
westbound train passed over his
body. He may have been riding on
the oil train and fell off, or in try
ing to board the train when it was
in motion, fell under the wheels.
Mrs. L. E. Estes, crossing the
tracks discovered the body and mott
fed the railroad authorities.

Parker College Dorm
Now a Home for Aged

Approximately a thousand persons
inspected the Winnebago Residence
last week, before and after the dedi-
catory ceremonies which threw open
the doors Of a home for the aged of
the Baptist church. The home is a
three-story structure, recently re-
modelled at a cost of $4,000, former
ly the dormitory of Parker College.
For more than a year Baptists of
five states, North and South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, have
been working through their organiza-
ton, The Northwest Baptist Home
Society, to provide home for their
aged.
N. T. Mears, president of the So
ciety, presided at the dedication cere-
monies. Representatives from the
five sponsoring states were present
and each spoke briefly of their sat-
isfaction in the project.

WILLMAR SQUAD RAIDS
LONG LAKE RESORT

Members of the Willmar prohibi-
ton squad with o. J. Westgaard and
Steve White, deputy sheriffs raided
the Curtis and Beard resort at Long
Lake, near New London recently.
The raiders found some beer and
some moonshine and arrested Duane
Beard on the charge of sale and pos
session.
The defendant was arraigned be-
fore Commissioner Henry T. Ronning.
He was held to the December term
of court, bond being set at $4,000.
The resort had license, granted
by the county commissioners, to
hold public dances. Since the license
did not include the right to engage in
the liquor business, the matter may
come before the commissioners for
consideration.

Inventor Demonstrates
New Pumping Device

Henry Feldman, 32-year-old, who
came to America from Germany two
years ago, displayed a new pumping
device he has invented at the recent
Farm Bureau picnic at Shakopee.
Designed to eliminate the labor of
pumping water for cattle, the pump
is operated by the cow as she steps
to the trough to drink. A pivoted
frame is suspended before the water
trough and the cow is obliged to
thrust her head through the frame
to reach the trough. This action
pushes the frame forward and causes
the pump to operate.
One stroke of the pump will sup
ply two gallons Of water, Feldman
said, and one pump will supply the
needs of rs head of cattle.

DRY LAW COSTS

A per capita expenditure by the
people Of the United States Of 80
cents annually is estimated by the
Wickersham report on "the cost of
crime" to be the price of federal pro-
hibition enforcement efforts.

state the cost of the government of
enforcing the dry law, leaving out of
consideration all appropriation for
the prohibition bureau. 1t split up
the costs Of marshals, prosecutors,
courts and criminal enforcement an
nually in Minnesota as $161, 1874.

The phrase "springing up like a
mushroom overnight has some
truth, since mushrooms grow at a
phenomenal rate during moist, hot
seasons. This is partly explained by
the fact that much of the tissue
forms before the fungus breaks
through the surface Of the ground.
Then the fungus tissue absorbs wa
ter quickly and expands very rapid
ly in wet weather.

ANNIVERSARY
Cafe Man Celebrates Year
in His New Location;
Club Congratulates

Members of the Chamber OF
Commerce sat down to turkey
feed this noon at the regular SEES
sion. The occasion was the first
anniversary of the opening of the
Plowman confectionery and cafe in
its new location. On behalf of the
Club Vice President CA. Crawford
called Mr.. Plowman to the floor
and expressed the clubs apprecia-
tion of his establishment, assured
him of the towns continued sup
port and bespoke many happy re-
turns of the day.
In a fitting manner Mr.. Plow-
man responded, calling attention to
the fact that while it was his first
birthday in his new location, he
had been serving the people OF
the community for seven or eight
years, had every faith in the flu
ture of the community and ex-
pressed his appreciation of the 10y
al support which the people Of
Kennewick had given him.
Mr.. Plowman's birthday celebra-
ton was continued all day and
many local people as well as resi-
dents from across the river were
present in the evening when an
orchestra played during the meal
hour and Mr.. Plowman passed out
cigars and candy to his guests.
The club gave A. F. Brown a
rousing send off for the work he
had done in getting the new street
lighting system started.

RGEGROWERS
TOINCREASE
GRASS ACREAGE
Big Y Officials Say Asparagus
is Best Money Maker in this
Section; Need Not Fear
OverproductiOn

Asparagus is this locality's best
bet, is the declaration of Manag-
er H. w. Desgranges of the Big Y
at meeting Of growers held on
Monday night Of this week at the
Masonic hall. He stated that even
this year, when nearly every crop
produced showed loss, that pro-
fits were taken from local grass
patches and that if in such condi-
tions this was possible, a vastly
greater acreage should be put out
here.
General Manager J w. Heber.
was also present at the meeting,
giving a review of the apple sit
uation. Owing to the increased box
apple production in the East this
year, the large crop and the gen.
|eral economic conditions the OUT
look, he said, was not too bright,
but held as his opinion that the
crop now being held from the Yak
ina valley would be disposed Of
before the season closed. He was
of the opinion that the apple sit
uation would improve greatly in
another year.
The reduction in the freight rate
while not Of much benefit to the
growers this year, would prove a
decided factor in the shipment Of
next years crop and should make
it easier for the grower to secure
a margin of profit for his product.
The manager of the Sunnyside
cannery, which takes consider
able portion of the cannery grass
from this section, urged the farm
ers to increase their paintings, as
conditions here seemed ideal for
the production Of the high quality
product which has now made such
favorable impression on widely
scattered markets.
He stated that there was not
much possibility of an over pro-
duction of the high quality of as
paragus which this section pro-
duces, and that he was confident
that even larger profits could be
secured when the acreage was en-
largd.
