Train Crash Can't
Stop School Girl.

Cokato-Even train crash could not
stop Adeline Dahlin from attending
school. After climbing from the wreck
age that resulted when the car in
which she was riding collided with a
train, she arrived at school in time for
morning classes. She and her brother
miraculously escaped without injury
when their car was completely de-
molished. Clarence Dahlin, living two
miles west of Cokato, was bringing his
sister to school and failed to see the
train as he approached railroad cross
ing. The train collided squarely with

wheels and threw the car back from
the tracks. The occupants had only
very minor injuries, Clarence receiving
a scratch on his cheek and Adeline a
small bruise on her leg.

Bad Weather and Labor
Troubles Fail to Halt
General Trend.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Some
branches of business struck a more
leisurely pace this week, but the
vagaries Of weather nor labor unrest
modified in a pronounced manner the
forward movement Dun & Bradstreet
said today in the review of business.
Deterrent influences restricted the
demand for some types of merchan-
disc" the agency said, but the trend
OF retail distribution continued up
ward. Slackness appeared in several
branches OF the wholesale market, due
to the small proportion of recorders,
but buying of Summer goods pro-
eeeded actively.
"Buoyed by growing backlogs, indus
trial operations were undiminished,
except at centers where strike condi-
tions prevailed"
The review estimated retail sales
Tor the country as a whole at from

preceding and from to II per cent
