The famous International Chinese
Exhibition, now on tour of the

ing attraction at the Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Live
stock Show, September to II, an
nounces Raymond A. Lee, secre-
tary.
Negotiations for bringing the
unique exhibit of Oriental life, hab-
its, costumes and curiosities to the
Minnesota State Fair have just
been completed with Madame F.
Bari, of Toronto, who is in charge
Of the tour.

State Seeks Safe
Spot for 100000
Care of that Much Cash Causes
State Treasurer Julius Schmahl
Sleepless Nights

st. Paul, July 22-State Treasurer
Julius A. Schmahl looking haggard
and a bit worried and confessing
to three sleepless nights, faced the
state investment board at the state
capitol Tuesday.
I'VE have to find," he declared
Someone to keep nearly $4,000, 600
in cold cash for 80 days."
Attorney General Benson scratch
ed his head and pondered.
Lets call out the army and put
the money under guard in the vault
in the state capitol" suggested
Governor Olson, humorously.
Consultation and debate followed.
Finally, $1,500,0O was disposed of
through purchase of state highway
bonds and another 81, 100000, it was
decided, will be used to pay Henne-
pin and Ramsey counties for money
spent on highways, authorized by
the last legislature.
The money has come from the
sale of trunk highway bonds and
federal highway aid. State deposit
cries are not especially interested
in keeping any more than they have
under the terms stipulated by law,
which call for collateral and in
terest payments.

Detours Increase the
States Maintenance Bill
Department Using 803 Miles of
County Roads to Bypass Con-
struction Jobs

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment this summer is maintaining
803 miles Of detours, according to
figures given out by Commissioner
G. M. Babcock. This is a larger
mileage Of detours than in any pre-
vious year. It Is due to the heavy
construction program made posi-
BILE by the bond issue and special
federal aid.
The Highway department endeav-
ors to maintain a detour on every
construction job, in condition to
carry the traffic without undue in
convenience. The average detour is
in about as good condition as the
average unpayed trunk highway. To
keep them in this condition, it IL
often necessary to gravel the roads
selected for detours, and sometimes
to grade or reshape them, before
opening them for detour purposes.
In other cases the road selected as
a detour may be in very good con-
dition at the start, but the increas
ed traffic will pound it to pieces.
In such cases it viii either be re-
graveled by the state before It is
turned back to the county, or an
allowance made to the county to
cover tile cost Of restoring the road
to normal condition.

LIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA
Fifth Child Narrowly Escapes
the Victims were IL, 9,

Minot, N. D., July 17-Four

and their father burned critic
ally when fire destroyed the
Frank j. Liebel farm home near
Raub, today. A fifth child
suffered less serious burns.
Mrs. Liebel and a Swear
old son, Jean, escaped injury.
Mr.. Liebel's recovery is doubt
full. The condition of Joseph
inc, 4, is not serious.
Those fatally burned were:
Florence, II; Margie, 9; Leon

reached the door with Jean in
her arms, stood helpless outside
as she heard the screams Of the
four older children as they fell
to the blazing cellar.
Mr.. Liebel fought the flames
and rescued Josephine. Forcing
open a window, he fell to the
ground with her in his arms.

Oscar Klonne Moves;
In Building IS Years
Second Oldest Business Firm In
Sank Centre Under the Same
Management

The business moving up
heaval of the past week brought
about one change which is Of
more than passing interest.
This was made when Oscar
Klonne, pioneer harness maker,
moved his establishment from
the corner store of the Bruce
Block to the Dubois building,
where the North American
Creamery Co. formerly was 10
Gated. The move was necessi-
tated by the fact that the Wal
dorf Cafe will soon move into
the corner store of the Bruce
Block.
Mr.. Klonne occupied a store
in the Bruce block for IS years,
10 of which were spent in the
place he just vacated, the bal
ance being in the part now oc-
cupied by the National Tea. Co.
The Klonne harness shop is
the second oldest business in
this city under one continuous
management; the oldest being
that of the Corner Drug Store
where p. B. Hanson has held
sway for many years.
Roy Working, who had his
plumbing works in the base
ment, has moved his stock to
one of the upper floors in the
Dubois block.
Another change was made
when c. G. Palmer moved his
shoe repair shop to a space in
the Pangburn Seed store, one
door south. Mr.. Palmer sold
his building to Henry Thielen
some time ago. The building
is now being renovated and put
into shape and as soon as the
work is completed Henry will
move his barber shop to the
new location.

Tourists Wreck Home of
Lindbergh at Little Falls
Souvenir Hunters Garry Away
Parts of House Where Filler
Lived In Boyhood

Little Falls, July 15- The con-
templated journey of the Lind
berghs to the Orient focuses at
tention upon the past exploits Of
the flying colonel"
Perhaps the least known place is
Lindbergh's boyhood home, a short
distance south Of here.
The tourist who seeks his birth
place will be disappointed if he
expects to find the road well mark
ed. He is told to drive "west of the
Mississippi river bridge, then turn
left at the Swedish church, this
side of the Pine Grove park. Upon
following these directions the tour
lists finds an ordinary sand road.
After following the road for a
mile and a half, he enters a "state
game refuge" really the first eff
fort of Minnesota to honor Lind
bergh.
Driving through this park, one
finds, tackled to al lone evergreen
tree, an old piece of cardboard on
which is printed the sign Picnic
Grounds" and in smaller letters,
"Lindy's Home"
At the left is a dilapidated frame
house, boarded up, with broken
windows and much writing, clearly
visible even from the road.
Entering the grounds an old gen.
tleman, wearing the star of Min
nesota deputy sheriff, appeared.
you're lookin' for Lindy's?" he
demanded. This is it. It was q
swell place once. Now look at it.
Tourists have made a mess of it."
Inside were pitable evidences OF
tourists lust. What had once been
beautiful mahogany cabinet stood
in a corner, propped up by stray
lumber, because some turist had
stolen it's solid base and even the
glass which once had covered its
doors.
An oak cabinet which had con-
tanned law books owned by Lin
dy's" father, one-time congressman
of the district, was empty. They
were valued at several hundred dol
lars.
Throughout the house the de-
struction was the same. In the
basement was what was left of the
old Saxon open touring car which
Lindbergh had once driven from
this house to Little Falls before he
knew much Of aerial navigation.
Some Of the wheels, and bits Of the
chassis, too heavy to carry away,
remained. Little was left Of pri-
vate water system which had been
installed many years before by
'Lindy's" father.
On the second floor, where Lin
dy" had had his boyhood workshop,
were mutilated doors, sagging be-
cause more souvenir hunters had
stripped even the hinges.
There is not single inche Of
wainscoting on the house which has
not been written upon.

Louis Larson Sponsors
Kiddie Baseball Team,
About Twenty Fifth Grade Young
sters Lined Up for Whole
some Sport

Some time ago Louis Larson
gathered number of boys
under twelve years into a
group for systematic training
in the rudiments of baseball.
Wednesday and Saturday af-
ternoons he takes these boys to
the fair grounds, where under
his supervision, they are given
a chance to develop physically
and learn to throw, hit and field
a baseball.
The idea was not 50 much TO
produce ball players as 70 give
the kiddies a chance for clean
and wholesome entertainment.
The boys are lined up in a
row and each given a chance to
field grounders, then they are
taught how to bat, after which
they choose sides and the game
is on.
Louis has about twenty boys
in his outfit and he has &C
complished a great deal with
the youngsters. The local Lee
gion Post has purchased a pro-
tector and mask and playing
will start in earnest within the
next few weeks. Any boys in
terested and who wish to join
the gang should see Mr.. Larson.
Another project in which
Louis is interested is a SWIM
ming hole for the boys in Sank
Lake. A place at the city park
was cleaned of rocks Tuesday
night and from now on the
youngsters will be able to swim
there under the supervision Of
Mr.. Larson. The days and the
time at which the boys may go
swimming there will be an
nounced in next weeks Herald.
Louis is doing great work and
a great deal of encouragement
should be given him in this I'M
dertaking. Besides having lot
Of fun the boys will be kept out
Of mischief and will learn some
thing that may be of value to
them in later years.
