Brothers Meet, Stage
Family Car Accident.

Kiester-n one must have an auto &C
cident, perhaps it would be safe to keep
it right in the family and not go out
among strangers for some one to run
into. AT any rate, that's what hap
pened to two brothers of the Walters
community, near Kiester, recently. Or
vile Meyer, accompanied by Maynard
Waeholz, collided with car driven by
his brother, Alfred Meyer, on the road
near the George Meyer farm. They met
at the peak of sharp hill. Both were
evidently driving in the middle of the
road, as the shoulders are soft at that
point. The front wheels of Alfred's car
caught the rear wheel of Orville's auto,
throwing the latter sidewise into the
ditch. The ditch is narrow and deep,
and his car rolled down the hill, with
the rear part of the car on the outside
bank, and the front part on the road
bank. 1t turned over several times but
the two boys were thrown out through
the top on the first turn. Both were
generally bruised but not seriously in
jured.

HOning Pigeon Loses
Way: Lands in Minnesota.

Park Rapids-A homing pigeon that
was 1900 miles from its home cote was
picked up recently by r. j. Story of
Hubbard. The bird carried a message
contained in tiny aluminium cylinder
attached to its wing, but was slightly"
off its course and appeared very much
lost out in the wilds of Minnesota and
over a thousand miles off it's course.
Story forwarded the message the pigeon
carried to the party addressed, and a
few days later received a message in
return from the Hazelton Brick Co. OF
Hazelton, Pa, telling him the bird was
their property and had been released
eleven days before from South Orange,
N. j. The pigeon was declared by its
owners to have been one of their most
dependable carriers and used for carry
ing many important messages. How or
why 1t got off its course and landed in
Minnesota is not known. Story returned
the bird to its owners and received as
a reward two young homing pigeons
from the Hazelton concern as a gift.

Saved From Wringer as
Plug Drops From Socket.

ElySian-Caught between the rollers
of a washing machine by her hair and
fingers, Mrs. R. T. Edwards of Elysian
had a miracle" escape when the cleo
trio plug dropped out of the socket and
stopped the machine just in time to
perhaps save her life. In STOPPING over
the electric wringer, her hair caught be-
tween the rollers, and reaching out to
grasp the rolls with her hand, two
fingers caught in the wringer. She
firmly believes that it was an answer
to a prayer that at the moment the
electric plug dropped out of the socket
and the machine stopped. Being alone
in the house at the time, she called for
help, but her screams were unheard and
she was kept in that uncomfortable posi-
ton until her husband came home and
released her. Mrs. Edwards suffered a
severe shock, but is recovering from the
injuries and is thankful for what she
regards as an act of Providence in the
timely diSconnection of the electric cord
which operated the machine.

Birds Qualify Pastor
As Safe, Careful DriDer

Isle-When a garage mechanic lifted
the hood of Pastor willard Vetter's
travel-worn sedan to squirt drop of
oil here and there, he found tangible
evidence that the minister must be a
careful and safe driver. At the rear
of the motor, carefully entwined among
the curves of the exhaust pipe, was
"a perfectly appointed sparrow's nest
ready for occupancy. During some
period when the car was idle, unknown
to the owner, the birds had come
through from underneath the car,
bringing in leaves, twigs and feathers,
and completed a flll-grown nest While
the bottom layer of material was bit
scorched from the exhaust pipe, the
rest of the nest was unchanged No
eggs have as yet been deposited, so it
is presumed that the birds had not been
living in the car a very long period.

Oldest County Tax Receipt
ShOIUs 'DepraUed' Times.

Delano-Tax bills of today aren't
those of yesterday, as evidenced by a
receipt brought in by E. A. Welker,
Delano, dated 1858 and listing a total
assessment of $685. for 100 acre farm!
The receipt, which was issued the same
year that Minnesota was admitted to
the Union, is written in long hand on
a slip of paper Il inches wide and TX
inches long. 1t was issued to O. A.
Wright, grandfather of Mr. Welker. On
one side it reads as follows: C. A.
Wright: Your State, county, town and
school tax is $685.. On the reverse side
it reads as follows: Received payment,
James P. Lyle. The Wright family came
to Minnesota in 1857 from Erie, Pennsyl-
vania, part way by boat and part way
by covered wagon. Their first stop was
in Minneapolis, where Mrs. Welkers
uncle owned and operated the only dry
goods store. It took the family two days
to drive from Minneapolis to Wright
county. With a good imagination, it
is not hard to conceive of Farmer
Wright sitting down to tear his hair
at the frightful tax bill. Think of it!
A tax of $685. on a single farm! What
does the government think we are,

Don't Stop at Scene
of Auto Accidents.

The Minnesota Public Safety COM
mittee today asked motorists to assist
in reducing the accident toll by re-
framing from stopping at the scene Of
mishaps.
The request is prompted by numerous
reports Of secondary accidents resulting
when curious motorists create additional
hazards by blocking the highways in
the vicinity Of mishaps.
Motorists approaching a scene of an
accident should drive slowly, but should
not stop when it is obvious that the
injured are being aided sufficiently"
c. H. Zealand, director of the COM
mittee, said.
Reports of further mishaps caused by
jammed highways following an accident
are coming with increasing frequency,
from members of the state highway
patrol and police and sheriffs, he said
At the same time, Mr. Zealand an
nounced that offers of free booth space
for safety exhibits had been received
from officials of many fairs throughout
the state.
The Minnesota Public Safety COM
mittee will provide a portion of the ex-
hibit for the fairs, he said.

DriUer Sleeps Peacefully
in Overturned Automobile

Fergus Falls-If one must have an ac-
cident, he might as well be nonchalant
about it! So believes one driver near
Fergus Falls, at least, who was dis
covered sleeping soundly in his car after
the vehicle had overturned on the high
way. Carl Sorflaten found the over
turned car just behind the three mile
bridge on the Otter Tail road. When
he stopped to investigate he found a
man in the seat who failed to respond
to shouts. Believing him dead, Sort
laten summoned boys spearing fish in
the river nearby to help right the car
The driver was sound asleep and did
not take kindly to being disturbed and
aroused from his slumber. He was under
the influence of liquor, and was finally
taken in charge by friends who hap
pened to come along.

AuxY SUPPORTS
R.0.T.C. UNITS
Mrs. Brownell, Local National
Defense Chairman, Outlines
Units Attitude.

Vigorous support for the maintenance
of Reserve officers Training Corps units
in schools and colleges is being given by
American Legion Auxiliary women
throughout the country, according to
Mrs. Byrd Brownell, national defense
chairman of the local Auxiliary unit.
The Auxiliary believes that this military
training has high educational and
charcter-building value, as well as being
the keystone of the nations national
defense system, stated Mrs. BrowneH.
1.-The Auxiliary is working actively to
keep the R. o. T. C. from being under
mined by the campaign against military
training that is now sweeping the
nation" she said. This campaign is
being conducted in the name Of peace
but is actually endangering the future
peace of the country by weakening our
defense against war. Under our demo-
cratic system, only small number of
professional officers is maintained and
for the leadership of the large armies
needed in war We depend upon the OFF,
GERS Reserve Corps which draws its
members from the graduates of the R.
o. T. c. Destroying the r. o. T. c.
would destroy a fundamental feature of
our national defense.
But the r. o. T. G. not only trains
young men to do their duty as citizens
in a national emergency. 1t also con-
stitutes fine system of physical train
ing, supplies intellectual stimulus and
mental discipline. Far from giving
young men militaristic minds and in
veSting war with glamour, as its OPP
ponentS claim, it gives them true
understanding of war. They learn that
war is mechanical, unromantic and
horrible, something to be avoided as
widely as possible. The training helps
make them fine, useful citizens for
peace-time service in addition to
equipping them to fulfill the duty of
every citizen in time of Wharf.-The de-
Tense of the nation"

golf at the Blooming Prairie Country
Club, Rolv Rye goes in for fishing as

while he was walking across the bridge
which crosses the creek hazard at the

sucker swimming along with the cur
rent. Bringing his trusty driver down
with bang, Rye knocked the fish out
cold and fished 1t out of the water.
Besides working up an appetite, he also
helped fill the larder for the Sunday

Fails Out of Bed,
Breaks Her Thumb!

Luverne-MiSS Katherine Nuffer, of

tured right thumb this week as the re-
suit of an accident which would make
anyone blush. She broke the digit
when she fell out of bed one morning
just what caused Miss Nuffer to fall
out of bed is matter of conjecture
because she prefers to keep the details
to herself, but one guess is that she
must have been riding one of those
wild night horses we hear about.

Vacation Time Chores
Advised By Doctors.

One of the most important summer
chores for parents and children should
be the annual physical check-over to
see if the children are developing
properly and to make any physical cor
rections that may need to be made be-
fore fall and school roll around again.
Members of the Public Health Edu-
cation Committee OF the Minnesota
State Medical Association especially
urge the Importance of this annual
check over in a bulletin issued today.
If dental work is necessary, If eyes
need to be examined, if diseased ton
sis need attention, the leisure and
warm weather of summer provide the
best opportunity for taking care of all
of them.
Summer is a good time to catch up
on sleep and rest, to gain needed pounds
in weight for the children who are
found to be seriously underweight.
Too often the children who are re-
leased from school are allowed to run
unchecked from the early morning un-
til far later than the ordinary school
day bed time. The result is that they
turn up at school in September thinner
and wearier than when they left it in
June.
Parents are especially urged by the
physicians to keep stern upper hand
as regards hours of sleep and to make
some arrangement whereby, even in hot
weather, the children get an adequate
amount Children up to seven and
eight years of age should have IL hours
of sleep. Nine, ten and eleven year
olds need liz hours; IL and Is year
olds need 10h and 10 hours; IA and Is
919, and 16, hours of sleep.

Pulls Up 20 Fish
In Single Cast!

Worthington-At least one of the
fishermen who besieged Okabena for
bullheads week ago was astounded by
his luck. He caught 20 bullheads, 8
carp, 8 crappies, and 3 pike in one
cast! When his line snagged in some
wire he pulled to the surface an elab-
crate fish trap that had been planted
near a crilvert under a grade. The
catch caused quite sensation along the
waterfront. The game fish were re-
turned to the lake and the trap des-
troyed. Fish traps in any form are IL
legal, and the person who planted the
trap is subject to arrest and a heavy
fine.
