Several Major Propositions
Likely to Fail of Passage
In Last Rush

st. Paul, April g. Minnesota's
legislature put on full speed ahead
today in the hope of disposing of
five major problems and wadina
through more than 500 less impor
tant measures during the IA days
left for passage of bills.
A measure for conservation o.
the states natural resources be
came the most immediate problem
today as the house took up its I'M
finished business where it left off
Thursday when it adjourned for
Easter.
The most controversial angle of
the proposed new and unified de-
partment of conservation as pro-
vided in a bill now before the
house, is whether the department
shall be conducted by one commits
sioner or by five-man commission.
Legislators were prepared today
to resist attempts of many Of their
fellows to place pet bills" on spec
ial orders, under which they would
be considered at a certain hour and
day. A two-thirds vote is necessary
to place a bill on special orders in
either house, and only measures
affecting the general public welfare
are expected to be so designated in
the remainder Of the session.
More than $50 bills are on the
regular calendar and general orders
list of the senate, while nearly 300
measures are awaiting action in
the house. In addition to con-
servation, the following measures
are considered most important:
1. REINFORCEMENT - Bills
pending before each house. All

have a volley ball or kitten ball
game at least once week. Beware
of our teams, competitions! Olive
Cook will take charge of entertair-
ment and MAYA Shanahan refresh

ing the Jade God" their star play
of the school year on Sunday night,
April 10, at at 8 p. m. Judging from

God" some months ago, this drama
is far above the average, and was
received with a stamp of profess
sional acting. The Johnny Players
are establishing a reputation for
themselves that may be envied by
any dramatic group other than
professional. In st. Cloud recently
they staged the morality play
"Everyman" before total of $500
people in three successive perfor-
mances, all packed houses, with in
dications that they could have con-
tinued for a week had the play
been so advertised.
1.-THE Jade God" is modern
play that is filled with real thrills
and laughs from the opening cur
the show. It's scenic effects were
so beautiful that it was judged in
its performance 70 be the very best
that the wonderful, new auditorium
of st. Johns has yet produced. In

Department Made Prompt Re
spOnse-Drives Five Miles and
Saves Home-Loss Heavy

Wednesday afternoon about 4:45
the Sank Centre Fire Department
answered a call to the farm home
of John Ebensteiner, five miles
south of the city.
When the department arrived at
the home the extremely large, mod
ern barn was being rapidly de-
stroyed. A crew of eight men and
the pumper made the trip. The re-
cent rains had filled the large els
tern under the house and connec-
ton was soon made and a stream
was being played on the granary
20 inches away from the barn
and silo. This building which
had a sheet iron siding, was
saved. 1t was partially filed with
grain. The house was in jeopardy
for time. The prompt response
of the Sank Centre department un-
doubtedly saved Mr.. Eibensteiner
thousands of dollars.
The Ebensteiner home is equip
ped with Delco electric lighting

prove Crossing on the Fairy
Lake Road

Friday of this week the Minneso-
ia Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission will hold a hearing in this

pute between the Stearns County
Commissioners and the Great
Northern railway. This dispute has
to do with the crossing on the
Fairy Lake road just west of the

Quigley will represent the county
at this hearing. The change is an
important one as far as the High
way is concerned but a minor one
from an engineering standpoint. At
present the crossing has danger
Gus angle.
While the Highway commission is
in the city the Herald would sug-
gest to the City authorities to at
tempt to take up and discuss the
very dangerous man-killing cross
ing on the Great Northern on High

the city. This crossing is very in
adequately marked and is a men,

Men s Brotherhood
Dinner ON April22nd
DIR. Rempel, Brownton. Physician,
Had Thrilling Escape From
Russian BoIsheviki

A member of the medical corps
Of the White army of. Russia. A
thrilling escape from the Bolsheviki
in a wild dash over the Black Sea.
Stealing potatoes and cabbages to
keep alive.
Such are a few of the strange
events in the colorful life of DR.. D.
D. Rempel, of Brownton, Mimi,
which finally brought him and his
family to Minnesota.
When the war began DR.. Rempel
had just finished medical school
and had married in the town of
Dorpat in Esthonia, then a part of
Russia and one Of the Baltic coun-
tries which became an Independent
minority as a result of the World
war.
Drafted into military service, he
fought first under the banner of
Car Nicholas and, after the abdi-
cation of the Romanoffs, was a
member of the White army for 61s
years. Later came the division be-
tween the war lords of Russia and
the rise of the Bolsheviki. All mem
bers of the White army fed in peril
of their lives-with them Dr. and
Mrs. Rempel and their little daugh-
ter. They gradually were pushed
south until they reached Crimea
nearly thousand miles from Dor.
pat, from which they were separ-
ated both by the Bolsheviki and
emigration restrictions at Crimea.
When the Rempels finally were
given permission to return to Els.
thonia around through the western
European countries, the Crimear
consul delegated DR.. Rempel to cap.
tain a group of 100 other Esthoniar
men, women and children who also
were returning homeward.
Practically penniless, the little
band set forth across the Black sea
a distance of 400 miles, in a crazy
little boat which carried them tc
Constantinople. Here they were
housed in the French barracks fol
six weeks while the men of the
party earned enough money to rent
box car to carry them on through
Greece and into Bulgaria.
DIR. Rempel tells a thrilling story
of his experience. He has beer
engaged as the guest speaker al
the next dinner of the Mems Broth.

Church, of this city, Wednesday
