Yield Although Said "Any-

Farmers generally in this section
are optimistic over the prospects
of better than average crop yield
this year, though many expressed
fear that anything can happen"
between now and the harvest.
That was the gist of a repor.
made by G. L. Easton yesterday
after he had made a survey Of con-
ditions in this locality. His itinera-
ry carried him east to Melrose,
south to St. Martin, and back by
way Of Belgrade and Padua. He
visited about % farms. He believed
that the rains Wednesday would
strengthen optimism among farm
ers residing on the lighter soils,
whose crops were feeling the eff
fects of the sustained heat wave.
Farmers this week are moving
into the rye fields for the early
grain harvest. Rye he reported Is

Maneuvers" - Start
From Pillsbury
5000 AS INVADER ARMY
Defending Force of 10000
Men WILL Be Stationed
At Camp Ripley

The peaceful countryside near
Camp Ripley, Minnesota, will be
the scene of the greatest demon
stration of armed strength in a
peace time maneuver in this Sec
ton. It will be the first "war
games" here since the World War.
Company M of the 2O6th Infan-
try National Guards will be one
of nine machine gun outfits in the
maneuvers and they go into camp
at Pillsbury August 9Th. It was
said by Captain Roy Scott that
about 10000 men Of the National
Guard and the Regular Army
would take part in the sham bat
ties.
Company M will be part Of the
group of 5000 invaders who will
start from their base at Pillsbury
after a weeks encampment. The
advance will be a 26 mile hike to
Camp Ripley. In addition to that
hike will be a daily hike of a six
mile total to and from the drilling
field during the first week. In
this invading force will be the
2O5th and 2O6th Of the National
Guards, the Bird Infantry of the
Regular Army of Fort Smelling, a
tank corps, calvalry unit and a
regiment of artillery. Their head
quarters at Pillsbury will be in cot
tages rented by the government.
simultaneously in Camp Ripley,
26 miles away, an assemblage Of
10000 men will be the defending
forces. They will number the 135th
National Guards, the 151st and
125th Artillery, and the air squad

The two forces will move along
the roads through the intervening

w. NJ. Parker
Chairman OF
State COP
Succeeds Thomas McCabe,
Who Resigned Post Held
Since 1884
WAS VICE CHAIRMAN
Reason For Resignation Civ
en- AS Purely Personal
Retires from Politics

w. M. Parker, Of this city,, has
been advanced to the chairman
ship Of the State central commit
tee Of the Republican party, owing
to the resignation Of Thomas M.
McCabe, Duluth, who held that
post since 1894. Mr.. Parker was
elected first vice chairman some
weeks ago, and automatically sue
ceeds to the craftsmanship.
Mr.. McCabe has attempted to re-
sign before, and in a letter to Mr..
Parker explained his decision as
follows:
1.-THE reasons for my resignation
are purely personal. I wish to re-
tire from politics to devote all my
time to my profession. have
been DESTROYS of retiring for some
time, but did not feel that I should
do so until the party was on its
way toward a reorganization and
in such condition that it could car
ry on an effective battle against
the opposition next year.
II feel now that this point has
been reached. No party dissension
exists, and as you know, the last
state central committee meeting
approved a constitution to be SUBJ
mitted to statewide convention
this fall. If this constitution is
adopted, 1t will revolutionize the
party organization in the state of
Minnesota. 1t will take control
away from the candidates and
place 1t in the hands of the duly
elected party officials.
1.-THE past method Of selection OF
the state central committee and
executive committee by the candi-
dates was absurd. If the proposed
constitution can remedy this situa.
ton, 1t will be a forward STEP"
McCabe became head Of the state
central committee in July, 1884
succeeding e. L. Mcmillan at q
Republican nominees convention
at st. Paul.
Mr.. Parker is the first man
from Stearns county to hold the
position as state chairman Of the
Republican State Central Commit
tee. This new position will make II
necessary for Mr.. Parker to spend
the greater part of his time in St
Paul, where headquarter offices
are maintained.
According to news dispatches
Mr.. Parker will serve in the posi-
ton made vacant by Mr.. McCabe's
resignation until after the conven-
ton to be held this fall to adopt a
new constitution, after which, I'M
der the proposed constitution, all
the county chairmen of the state
will meet to elect a new state
chairman.
Residents of Sank Centre are
elated in the advancement Of the
local man. 1t Is an honor seldom
conferred upon residents of small
err cities and villages.

Library Tennis Court
To Be Ready Soon
Work VIII Begin Immediately Or
Repairing Court And Laying
Tapes

The library tennis court will be
ready for use next week, Coach
Gene Harvey, in charge of the
Municipal recreational program,
announced today. Work will begin
Immediately in repairing the court
and laying tapes. The tennis court
will Immediately be assimilated in
to recreational groups program.
Definite hours for tennis instruc-
ton and supervision have been set
up and are announced in the pro-
gram this week. During those hours
the court Is reserved for those con-
nected and registered under the
program. Anyone else who desires
to play on the Library court will
not be barred but are asked to play
during free hours.
The court is usually opened in
May, and the nearly two months
delay, this season was occasioned
by an action Of the School Board.
It was recommended that Main
Street property is unfit for school
playground use, since the traffic
problem of the street creates a
hazard. The School Board then put
up to the voters the proposition
for selling the Main Street proper
ty which would have included a
part Of the tennis court. When the
proposition was defeated by the
voters, work on the court contin-
ued. Had the vote gone through, it
is believed that courts would have
been maintained on other school
property.

Sonof Pioneer
Businessman
PassedAway
Edward A. Capser, Veteran
Businessman, of Grafton,
Died at Age of 81
WAS BURIED JULY 9TH
Was Responsible In Large
Measure for Firms
Continued Growth

From the Walsh County Record,
OF Grafton, N. D., came the report
Of the death of Edward A. Capser,
former resident of Sank Centre.
Mr.. Capser, prominent merchant
in the Dakota city, passed away
Monday, July 5th. Deceased was
well-known in this city and his
passing came as a shock to his
many friends in and about Sank
Centre. The following is the obit-
uary reprinted from the Record:
An Illness which began 10 years
ago and grew progressively worse
despite the efforts Of the best med
ical science, Monday claimed the
life Of Edward A. Capser, Ga, long
prominent figure in the business
world Of Grafton and recognized
as one Of the leading merchants Of
the northwest.
1t was while he was in the very
prime Of life and shortly after he
and associates took over the own
ership and operation of the w. w.
Reyleck company, large Grafton
department store, that Mr.. Capser
was first attacked by the illness
which was eventually to claim his
life. The best skill. of medical
science, including the services Of
the Mayo clinic at Rochester,
Mimi, was enlisted in his behalf
but to no avail.
At first the effect of the malady
"a paralysis Of the spine-was
hardly noticeable but grew steadily
worse until, during the past year,
Mr.. Capser was practically help
less.
Edward Anthony Capser was
born in the famed little town Of
Sank Centre, Mimi, also the birth
place Of Sinclair Lewis, Americas
best known fictionist. Lewis was
boy growing up in the commun-
ity which was later to be the locale
for his first great novel, Main
Street." while Mr.. Capser was
young clerk in his fathers store.
The date Of his birth was April 81,
1873.
His parents, Joseph and Mary
Capser, were Of thrifty German
stock and his father was one Of
the leading and earliest merchants
Of the community. It was in his
store that Mr.. Capser received the
early training which was to make
him one Of the recognized leading
merchants of the northwest.
Fifty years ago this summer his
brother-in-law, w. w. Reyleck, en-
gagged in the mercantile business
in the then new town Of Grafton.
Ten years later, in 1897, Mr. Capser
came to Grafton to become asso-
ciated with him. He continued in
the employ of Mr.. Reyleck until
1908 when he moved to st. Paul to
become associated with Merrill,
Greer & Chapman, large whole
sale house. He continued in that
position until 1913 when he return
ed to Grafton, to again become as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Reyleck, this
time with an interest in the bust
ness.
A close student Of the best mer-
chandising methods, with an in
finite capacity for detail, and a
fine sense Of values. he became in
dispensable in the Reyleck COM
pany and during the last years
that Mr.. Reyleck owned the bust
ness, practically the entire respon-
sibility for it's management was
lodged in Mr.. Capser.
In 1925 when Mr.. Reyleck decid-

PLAN IS IN EFFECT NOW
To Encourage Use of Water
On Lawns, Trees, and

To maintain beautiful city dur
ing the hot summer months, wher
it is usually necessary to use wa
ter to keep the lawns and gardens

Commission has made a reduction
in water rates in the residential
district.
This plan was inaugurated tt

in an effort to keep the lawns
green, to protect trees, and main
tain beautiful flower gardens.
This reduction in rates, a tenn
porary offer for this quarter, will
be in effect until September Goth
It has been made on the 40c pei
1000 gallon rate, or the first steI
of the present water rate.
Under this plan a patron using
$500 worth Of water will save $500
The regular rate is 4Oc pc r1O0(
gallons of water for the first TO-.
600 gallons used, after that the
rate drops to 10c per 1000 gallons

reduction does not apply on the

In other words this plan provid.
es water to residential patrons on.

the part Of the Commission Is {
commendable one, and although
