FARM STORE TO p. f.
ROWELL, LONG PRAIRIE

o. S. Bjone, who came here from
Sank Centre early last December
to open and operate the Clover
Farm Store in Osakis, sold his bus
mess last week to p. E. Rowell Of
Long Prairie.
Mr.. Rowell is the owner of the
Glover Farm Store at Long Prairie
and he will manage the store there
in addition to the one he has ac-
quired here.
John Muenzhuber who has been
associated with Mr.. Rowell in the
retail business at Long Prairie will
be in charge of the local store since
Mr.. Rowell will continue to make
his home at the Todd county seat,
where he is active in civic affairs,
being a vice president of the Long
Prairie Commercial club.
Mr.. Muenzhuber used to be a
star Long Prairie high school ath-
lete, and he should win a berth for
himself on the Osakis league ball
team.
Mr.. Rowell has been operating
the Clover Farm Store in Long
Prairie since August, 1884.
Mr.. Bjone and his family have
vacated the house into which they
moved recently and have moved
their furniture into the rooms over
Martins Grocery. His plans for the
future are indefinite. Mrs. Bjone
and son will stay here until school
is out, following which she expects

Historical Society

Historical Society.
It is proper at this point to men,
ton some of the types of mater
ials in which the Historical Society
would not be interested. This lack
of interest is not due to lack of
intrinsic value in these articles but
merely to lack of suitability for
placement in a historical museum.
Among such unsuitable materials
would be articles whose primary n
terest is artistic; geological speci-
mems such as fossils and minerals;
natural history specimens such as
stuffed birds, animals, fish, in
sects; botanical specimens such
as grasses and flowers; in addition,
articles which belong distinctly to
the souvenir or relic class are like
ly to have little value, especially
relics Of disasters appealing chief
ly to morbid curiosity.
1t is difficult to adequately des-
cribe the articles which are suit
able for placement in the historical
museum. The total range of posi-
BILE offerings is so wide, so many
classes are bound to escape atten-
ton, and so many interesting and
valuable items are likely to appear
The Stea-ns County Historical
Society then is presenting a rough
outline of the materials desired.
We solicit cooperation in making
this museum a real educational in
stitution and a cultural center
which will appeal to local pride.

Acquittal For Schrupp
Voted By Todd Jury
Four Hours Required For Not
Guilty Decision Late
Friday

Circumstantial evidence, termed
too weak to convict, resulted in
the acquittal of Ed. Schrupp, Long
Prairie machine shop operator, of
the murder Of Louise Loehrke, %
year-old woman who died on the
morning of January "a in a hospi-
tai there.
Schrupp, 50-year-old father of
three children, burst into a bolster
Gus jubilation in the courtroom at
AIS p. m, Friday, when the jury
returned, after four hours Of DELHI
Grafton and brought in a verdict OF
not guilty of murder in the second
degree. He slapped his attorneys on
the back after standing dazed for
a minute while the knowledge that
his 77-day confinement in Jail was
over and he was a free man.
Louise Loehrke, it was alleged,
died on the morning of January
"a in the Long Prairie hospital as
the result of a blow inflicted on
the back of her head. The state
attempted to prove that the blow
was delivered by Schrupp. Attor-
neys for the defendant sought to
show that the evidence was weak
and did not involve the defendent,
and indicated that Miss Loehrke
had fallen and injured herself be-
fore she reached the Schrupp ma
chine shop from which she was ia
ken to a hospital.

BASEBALL
By HALSEY HALL

Houston, Texas, April Prem
ember the books you've read and
the movies you have seen where
the young hero becomes a great
pitcher. No one can hit him, much
less get an honest basehit, he goes
to the majors, they try to tempt
him, the newspapers blare great
headlines whenever he pitches and
he always makes good?
Well, we've often wondered what
would happen if such a fellow
really did come along :. and here
he is. He's Robert Bob Teller of
the Cleveland Indians. His perfor-
nance against the New York
Giants Of striking out II men and
allowing no hits in the first eight
innings he worked against them,
proved that Teller may be the
dream boy of baseball. And you
got all the drama and fiction-like
surroundings you could wish when
Umpire Bill KLEIN, SO years old and
the dean of all arbiters-in-blue,
took off his hat and mask at the
end of Feller's second stay on the
mound, wiped his brow and said,
1--WE seen 'em come and go, but I
never saw such a curveball as this
Teller showed me today"
Where Teller has been hailed al
most exclusively as fast ball pit
cher, he now comes into being as
the possessor of a good curve. And
what is more to the point, it is
sharp and fast. You know too many
pitchers slow up too appreciably
on their curves. 1t "hangs" in the
air and the hitter can follow ii
easily.
1t would be impossible for Eel
ler's curve to be as fast as his hard
one, but it is very fast, neverthe-
less and, if he can keep it up and
not blow up like a nickel fire.
cracker about July fourth, he in
deed will be the living image OF
your fiction and movie hero.
1t is not going to be such bad
year from the standpoint of pro
ducing good young pitchers. Nor is
it going to be unusual. The team
with the most new twirlers is the
Boston Bee outfit and we dom
suppose any club ever had so many
old rockies" Look at 'em :. Lot
Fette, Jim Turner, Truett Sewell
Bill Harris and Bill Perrin. Why
there's a veteran staff in the Asso
citation. Strangely enough, Fette, al
90, is the only one who has never
had previous big league oppor
tunity.
We urge you to watch a less.
sung-of youngster who may riva-
Teller. He is Johnny Wander Nicer
Cincinnati southpaw. He struck out
almost 300 men in small loop last
season but, more important, he has
been pitching great ball this spring
If he's a true left-hander, he also
combines some added eccentricities
which will make him harder to hi
and harder to get along with.
Those are the boys to watch /.

Stearns county All members and
friends are anticipating some en-
tightening entertainment at the
big spring All Dramatic Festival
to be held in the new Rockville
Auditorium, Friday evening, April
80, according to the county club
leader.
Four clubs have reported doing
intensive pract;cing on their one
act plays. Mary Blakely, director of
the Paynesville-Koron club play
Taking Faith er's Place" reports
that the club nas already presented
their play as community entertain
ment at Paynesville. Hester Slap
les, st. Cloud, is director of Station
Y. Y. Y. Y" the Sank Valley All
selection.
"At the Stroke of Twelve" is the
exciting mystery comedy chosen by
the Lynden Go-getters as their con-
tribution to the Spring Festival re-
ports Bertha Lumley, Junior lead
er and director. Miss Leona Biele-
jeski, Holdingford dramatic coach
is again directing the Holdingford
Sunshine Club which have selected
the play Toast We All Can Drink
The Belgrade Progressives and
Rockville Cooperators are also
planning a part on the dramatic
program. Names and director OF
the plays have not been reported.
The Unity Hustlers have selected
a short All dramatic skit "A Pep
per Upper" recommended by the
National Committee for Al club
work at Chicago. The Gopher
Prairie skit has not been reported
Besides this interesting enter
tainment, a Roscoe All Peppers
Musical Group is rendering a vocal
contribution. Musical intermissions
will be given by the Luxembourg All
Orchestra and Raymond-Ashley
girls trio.
Many All boys are busy building
bird-houses and feeders for the
annual bird house contest held in
conjunction with the dramatic fest
ival. The best exhibit and scrap
book will be sent to the District
contest May 8. Likewise the winner
in the Essay contest on Coopera-
ton. It will be remembered the
county winner in the 1896 contest
was also the state winner. Keen
competition is expected in the essay
entries which are due in the coun-
ty office April Is.

NEED LICENSE TO SPEAR

Fishermen, who wish to indulge
in spring spearing, says Came
Warden Vornbrock, may do so now,
as the season for spearing rough
fish during the daytime is now
open. After May LIST, artificial
lights may be used while spearing
in streams and running waters
Artificial lights are prohibited on
lakes at all times. There are some
fishermen who are of the opinion
that they do not need a license to
spear. This is erroneous, and their
attention is called to the Attorney
Generals ruling of May 81, 1888,
which states that a license is nee
essary for the spearing of rough
fish.

Fire Survey Of City
Reveals Many Defects

close proximity Of the property. He
advised that the city employ an in
spector to enforce a building or
dinance, and that the inspector
see that all wires be placed in con-
duit. In closing he remarked that
Sank Centre had an excellent wat
er supply and ample storage
tanks, and working from thereon
will be able to bring the equip
ment up to standard.
Louis L. Law gave an explana-
ton and discussion Of fire proven
ton and its berefit to Sank Cen
ire. Fire prevention is purely and
simply a community affair. During
the past twenty-years people have
begun to see that reckless destruc-
ton Of propertyAis needless and as
a result fire prevention activities
have increased. In the United
States, he said, property damage
during the past 20 years totalled
eight billion dollars. Yearly losses
vary from year to year. Following
the world war they began to
mount until 1895 when they reach
ed $685., 100000, which exceeded
losses in any other country in the
world. Since 1925 losses have been
reduced until 1896, when they be-
gan again to use. Losses are felt
by everyone, as all must pay. The
annual loss Of life, he said, averag-
ed 10000 people yearly during the
past ten years. Two-thirds OF
the lives lost were among women
and children. Sank Centres fire
loss during the past twenty years,
he stated, was 100000. Mr.. Law
has studied conditions of schools,
and he stated that conditions in
our Senior High school are as bad
as any he has ever seen in any
town in Minnesota. He said the
third floor in our school should
not be used fer housing children,
and continued that it would be bet
ter to divide the scholars into two
groups and hold school for each
group one-haf day, instead Of over
crowding the building to twice its
capacity as at present.
In closing the meeting d. B.
Caughren, president Of the Com
munity Club, thanked all who had
participated In making the survey
a successful event.

School Application
Rejected By PWA

r. J. Malloy, Secretary of the
Sank Centre School District Tax
payers Association, returned last
evening after an extended tour of
Minnesota cities, including Still
water, gathering facts and data
pertinent to their respective school
bond issues.
For some weeks it has been evil
dent that a radical change was talk
ing place in the matter of P. w. A.
grants for pubic projects, it be-
coming more and more evident
that federal aid for these projects
must be expended only on relief
workers instead of the old system
of contractors teing the sole judge
of whom they might employ.
That this change is now rather
definite is set forth in the follow
inc news story published in the
saltwater Daily Gazette of Tues
day of this week. Mr.. Malloy SUBJ
mitted a copy OF the paper to us
for reprint since it doubtless car
ries much of interest to local cit
liens. Certainly it makes plain the
fact that at this time no definite
plans for school construction pur-
poses can be made until all uncer-
tainties regarding the amount and
form of p. w. A. allotment are
cleared up. 1t is significant that,
according to the Gazette, "all APP
plications requesting a As percent
grant have automatically been re-
jected."
The application of the saltwater
School Board Tor a Federal grant
Of As per cent of the cost Of con-
structing two new school buildings
here has been rejected.
That is the information brought
back to saltwater by a personal
representative Of the board who
has been in touch with the situa-
ton in the nations capitol for the
past week.
No official announcement has
been made as yet by the PWA but
members Of the hoard have been
informed that the application, as
submitted, was one of many tabled
by the administration, until a new
emergency relief set-up has been
approved.
Following a conference with
aides of Harry l.. Hopkins, Public
Works Administrator, the board re-
preventative reported that all ap-
plications requesting a 45 per cent
grant have automatically been re-
jected.

Information on the revised set-up
is not definite at the present time.
1t is the belief OF board members
that 1t will include provision
calling for exclusive employment
of relief labor, with no provisions
made for materials.
The Public Works Administra-
ton office in st. Paul, which Is in
charge Of this district, has received
no official order changing the reg
ulations on PWA applications and
administration; in fact, Capt. r. A.
Radford, in charge Of the office,
stated that even if the information
received here was correct, there Is
no need to get excited over it."
Despite Captain Radford's reas-
surance, the school board members
view the octlook as decidedly
gloomy. A new set-up will neces-
state a revision of the entire costs
estimates based upon allotments
for relief labor and materials.
The original application called for
an allotment of $2O2,5O0 which
would cover partial costs of labor,
materials, attorneys and archi-
tect's fees, and Incidental expenses.
Until they have read the new APP
plication regulations, the board
members will not make decision
regarding their future action.
If the information they have re-
ceived is correct, and they believe
that 1t is, cost of constructing the
two buildings will be increased. If
it will be possible to finance the
project without materially raising
taxes the board will undoubtedly
go ahead with the present plans.
The application for the grant was
made several months ago by the
board and recently the taxpayers
of Saltwater voted overwhelmingly
in favor of a nond issue to aid in
financing the project
