Train Fails to Disturb
Sleep; Judge Wakes Man.

1t may have been the heat, although
police say that didn't figure much in
the case. But when George Riley, 81,
took a snooze on recent Sunday
morning he picked the railroad tracks
just outside of Red Wing. And he slept
so soundly that he didn't hear an ap-
preaching train nor notice that it halted
to permit removal of his inert form
from the tracks to permit further pro-
greSs. Police, called from Red Wing,
found that Riley could sleep under any
or all circumstances. "He slept sound
ly as we hoisted him over a wire fence
and pasture land to the roadway where
we could load him into an automobile, u
said the officer. "He was still sleeping
when we deposited him in bunk at the
police station" Riley "awoke" long
enough the following morning to hear
Municipal Judge Francis Watson say
"ten days" in the county Jail. Then he
lapsed back into slumber again.

Haze SnOUbaU Fight
With Temperature los.

Granite Falls-With the thermometer
outside the George Mooney gravel pit
recording 108 degrees in the shade,
down in the pit where the temperature
was at least 100 the drivers Of the
Hallet gravel trucks waged a merry
SNOWFALL fight the afternoon of July IA
at Granite Falls. A liar, did you say?
Read on. The steam shovel was scoop
ing up gravel for the shouldering of
highway 212. Suddenly the shovels
dipper came up half full of snow. A
little careful maneuvering on the part
of the operator. uncovered a fine large
snowbank- remainder OF
last winter and which had been pre-
served by a landslide that covered it
with eight feet of gravel For an hour
or more the truck drivers were riding
their vehicles with clumps of snow atop
their heads, while every little while one
of the perspiring men would take a
headlong dive into the rapidly dis
appearing white bank. Several of the
men, it is rumored, refused to engage
in the SNOWFALL fight, fearing that the
snow might melt in the air, become
boiling water in the terrific heat, and
scald them to death!

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Virginia Daily Enterprise-There is
no finer assemblage of citizens than
those splendid pioneers of the Mime
sofa iron country who are banded to-
gether in the Vermilion Range Old Set
tiers association, and they show their
excellent attributes in many ways, and
not least in the numbers which attend
the annual gathering. Last week the
group met in Tower and next year they
meet at Ely. Noting that three of the
familiar neighbors of earlier days were
absent from the Tower conclave, con-
fined to their homes by illness, the as
ISOLATION took action to remember these
folk, flowers and words of cheer being
dispatched to them. Those who were
thus recalled, as only such group of
friendly pioneers could do it, were
County Treasurer William G. Sargent
Duluth, John Anderson of Dodge Center
and Mrs. j. H. Jeffrey, Virginia. We
may live and move in very busy world
and sometimes an unsentimental world
but these three pioneers Of a great
country know that someone is interested
and that someone cares about them
The incident is fine eXemplification OF
the better human impulses.

Watch Lost IL Years
Ago Found; Still Runs.

Hutchinson-A watch lost II years
ago in plowed field was found last
week in good running order, very little
the worse for wear. The watch was
given to John E. Albrecht, as a con-
firmation present in the spring of 1924,
and lost the same fall. His father, VIM.
@. Albrecht, reached down from his
corn pillow last week and picked up the
watch from where it had lain for II
years. After bringing it into a jeweler,
it was found the watch was still in
running condition without the need of
new parts, and all that was necessary
was a thorough cleaning and oiling
The watch was a Is jewel in a yellow
gold case. A peculiar incident in the
find was that John, the loser and owner
Of the watch, did not know it had been
found until the peculiar facts of the
case were announced in the newspapers

ASK OPINIONS
OF SP0RTSMEN
Game and Fish Director Seeks
Hunters Recommendations
on Bird Seasons.

A QUESTIONABLE asking sportSmen and
game wardens for their recommend
lions for the 1896 game bird seasons has
been sent out by A. C. Hanson, director
of the division of game and fish.
The suggestions of the majority of
SportSmen will be included in Mr..
Hanson,s recommendations to the con-
servation commission.
In letter accompanying the question
naire it is stated that uniform season
would be better conservation policy
than having pheasants open at one time
and quail or grouse at another.
"This would also prove more con-
venient for the majority of the sports
men and We could have better law en-
forcement," the letter continues. For
instance, if the pheasant season should
open october Is and close october %
and we had uniform season, all other
upland birds upon which an open season
is advisable could be taken within that
same period"
There has been some question
whether or not the closing of one county
and opening of another has been the
best conservation policy. If, for in
stance, the majority of the sportsmen
desire full seven day open season on
pheaSants throughout the state, it would
simplify matters for the sportsmen and
wardens too as the knowledge of county
lines would not be necessary.
Then, too, there would not be so
much concentration of hunters in GER
tain counties. There are of course good
arguments why one county should be
open and another closed-but not only
should the best conservation method be
considered, but also the convenience of
the Sportsmen and adequate law en-
forcement. Laws or regulations that
permit taking a hen pheasant in one
county and not in another next to it are
difficult of enforcement"
Sportsmen's organizations who have
not received the QUESTIONABLE are asked
to communicate with the division OF
game and fish.

Flies May Carry Filth,
Disease: SlU0t EN-!

August is housefly season in Mime
sofa. Housewives and food purveyors
are specially cautioned in this weeks
bulletin from the Public Health Edu-
cation Committee of the Minnesota
State Medical association to keep flies
out of houses and away from food.
It is impossible to measure exactly
what the role of the fly may have been
in any given epidemic of infectious dis
ease or food poisoning, according to
this bulletin. But the ability of the fly
to carry deadly disease germs and filth
is well established. Health authorities
all agree that many otherwise unex-
planned outbreaks of disease Or food
poisoning can be laid to the account Of
the house fly.
Flies breed in filth. They feed upon
it, carry it with them on legs, wings,
bodies, and deposit it from crop or
intestines wherever they light. There
is nothing at all to prevent them from
carrying late summer infections, even
poliomyelitis from the sick to the well.
To eradicate flies completely it will
be necessary to eradicate their breed
ing places, usually in piles of refuse or
manure, or to screen these places ade-
quately. Such eradication comes slowly
in most communities. In the meantime
householders, restaurant keepers, food
sellers, can keep them out Of houses
eating places and stores by adequate
screening, use of insect sprays and the
homely fly swatter. Swatting the fly
will not solve the community fly prob
lem but it is recommended by the
physicians as an aid to individual pro-
lection against disease and filth.

Turkey Egg ThrOlUn
AUdy Matches in Sun.

Moose Lake-Anyone who doubts the
heat of the past few weeks should in
terview Halvor Ellevseth, farmer near
Moose Lake, where it was SO warm
that a turkey egg he had thrown away
Matched out in the sun. In cleaning up
around the barn Ellevseth tossed what
apparently was a well-worn turkey egg
onto the manure pile, and much to his
surprise, it Matched a perfect baby
turkey. He took the youngster ;ato the
house, where it was tended with the
greatest of care. Ellevseth was reported
as saying, ~'I expect to get around S4

Freak White SparrOlU
CAPTURED by Farmer

Thief River Falls-Did you ever see a
white sparrow? The first seen in the
district of Thief River Falls was brought
into town by Won Void, farmer eight
miles north of that city. While Won
Void was milking in the barn, the
sparrow flew in and sat on his knee
At first sight he thought it was small
chick. He captured it and brought it
into town for display as a freak os
nature. The bird is practically pure
white, but is undoubtedly full-fledged
sparrow and natural in every respect
but its color.

Final liquidation of the Presi-
dents grandiloquent idea of
planting a shelter belt OF
trees 100 miles wide, from the
Canadian border to the Gulf
of Mexico, is now announced.
The young trees collected for
the forestation are to be given
to farmers, who will be en-
couraged to plant them as
wind-breaks. This is not des-
cent from the sublime to the
ridiculous, but is reduction OF
the ridiculous to a common
sense basis, thinks the Los

This scheme has cost the
government 100000 so fa1
and Comptroller Nc
Carl brought the matter to a
head when he refused to sign

ever come from the italian side, and
on the 9th it's intensity was redoubled.
The infantry attack came in after
noon, when the vi corps attacked the
Gorilla bridgehead and the XI corps
the SUBMITS of San Michele. Saba
tho was taken on the run in 40 min
utes. Austrians counterattacked and
gained precious time for their COM
mander to arrange their withdrawal.
The Italians had been preparing
for this attack on Gorilla and the
Carso since winter. The Duke, for
his II divisions, had only 1850 guns,
of which 800 were super-size trench
mortars constructed during the win
ter to makeup for the deficiency in
heavy artillery which the manufac-
turing resources of Italy couldn't
supply.
The range of this mortar was long
err and destructive power great but
its necessary forward position and
the big flame of it's discharge made
it a relatively easy target for the
enemy's guns. The forward position
also made the ammunition supply a
great problem. Guns could fire only
600 rounds or so before rerifling.
The loss of the Gorilla bridgehead
was a severe blow to the Austrians.
But there Cadorna stopped. He was
not sure the Austrians were not stand
ing on a line prepared we'll in adj
vance, and his artillery was made
quate for any further sustained at
tack

OTHERS VIEWS
THE UNDERPASS.

To the Editor:
During the last few weeks we have
been reading much about the under
pass in the Dispatch. Citizens have
been expressing themselves as to the
wisdom of spending such a large sum
in making the underpass. So, as a
tax payer, I feel like expressing my
self relative to this matter
1t has been estimated that it will
cost $150,000 to complete the under
pass. To me this seems like a large
sum for small town like Henderson
to put into one unit or project, es-
pecially does this seem true when the
city needs so many other things.
There are certain parts of our town
where the streets are in bad condition.
Some of the streets within the cor
poration have not been put in good
condition since winter when all I'M
paved streets were almost impossible.
If one should get in a car at the Hen
derSOn Institute gate or the Jubilee
hospital, the corner of which is in the
corporation, and travel to Atlanta,
Ga, or to the exertme southern end
of Florida or to New York City: the
worst road over which he would have
to travel would be from the starting
point to Chestnut Street in Hender-
son, or whether he Travelled Rock
spring or Pearl street. What is true
in this part of the city obtains in
many other sections.
The Jubilee Hospital, one of the
most needed institutions in the city is
without sewer, the colored high
school is without sewer connection.
1t many parts of our city the insight
ly surface toilets and not only un-
slightly but are unsanitary, which
condition is liable to cause typhoid
fever and other diseases. This situa-
ton does not endanger the health and
lives of the people living in these sec
tions only, but the health and lives of
the entire city.
Now, we have a fine high school
here of which I trust we are all proud,
1 know that I am glad, indeed, that
we have such a fine plant for the
children of Henderson which will be
ample for years to come and maybe
for generations unborn for which
Henderson should rejoice. 1 think it
is a fine spirit the good people of
Henderson have shown in improving
our school system during the last year
at a cost of over a quarter of million
dollars.
But what about our colored schools =?
