Will
Adopt Paral-
lei Parking
Decided To Formulate Ordin-
ance For Removal Of
Curb Pumps
HAS NO ALTERNATIVE
Letter From Highway De-
partment Asks Immed-
late Action

The City Council in it's delibera-
lions Wednesday evening consider
ed three major problems, and de-
cided to formulate three ordin-
ances to govern them. The prob
lens which confront the Council
at this time are parallel parking,
removal of curb gasoline pumps
and making it illegal to fill gas
trucks within buildings at bulk
stations.
At a special meeting of the
Council held Monday evening, two
officials from the State Highway
Department were present and adj
vised them to begin parallel park
ing in the business sections on
Third and Main Street at once. The
Council has no alternative in the
matter for it is a provision
of the 1887 traffic code, said
". T. Conklin, the City Attorney.
Streets must be rs feet wide to es-
cape this provision. Our widest
street is So feet in width. According
to the announcement all cities and
villages in the state will receive
notice during the next few weeks,
or sooner, to accept the new pro-
vision.
A letter received by Mayor M. F.
Hintzen from the State Highway
Department, advised the immed-
late removal of curb gasoline
pumps. The letter stated that 1t Is
illegal to have curb pumps within
the city, and asked that the mat
ter be taken care of Immediately.
The Attorney General In his opin-
ion, stated that sidewalks and
streets are for public use only and
it appears that the municipality Is
without power to permit the opera
ton of curb pumps. If permitted to
remain the municipality or its Of
ficials are mourning liability. The
letter received Is as follows:
August 81, 1887.
Hon. M. F. Hintzen,
Mayor
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
Re: Gasoline Curb Pumps
A little more than two years
ago, the Commissioner OF High
ways wrote to Mayor DeLaurier
calling attention to the situation
existing in Sank Centre involving
the location of gasoline curb
pumps along trunk highways and
requesting that the matter be TAX
en- up by the local council, and
that proper action be taken by the
council for the elimination OF such
illegal Entertainments.
The situation at Sank Centre has
Just been called to our attention
again, and upon investigation we
find that no action has been taken
on this matter up to date. We
would, therefore, request that you
bring this matter to the attention
of the present council in Sank Cen
ire with our recommendation and
requests that proper action be Ia
ken by the council to cause the re-
moval Of these encroachments.
We have been advised by the At

School Districts Assigned for
NONRESIDENT TRANSPORTATION

any other district to attend the
schools assigned to them. Any per-
son can petition to attend the
school he wishes to select, as
there is no limitation, and there Is
no restriction as to adherence to
districts on the part Of pupils. In
other words, this setup does not
give school authorities the right to
tell pupils where they must attend
school.
From the districts mentioned in
Stearns county and those in Todd
county, nonresident pupils may at
tend the local school. Arrange
ments for transportation are being
planned at this time.
Regulations for transportation OF
nonresident pupils, adopted by the
state board Of education, became
effective August LIST.
Furnishing transportation for
the rural pupils Of each district Is
entirely optional with the men,
bers Of the school board Of that
district. The reimbursement from
state funds for the expense Of such
transportation shall not exceed "a
per month per pupil nor more than
two-thirds Of the total Transports
ton cost to the district.

Coops Agree on
Contract Terms
For Rural
Rural Identification Progress
Satisfactorily To Coop
Committeeman

Continued progress on the rural
identification program in Stearns
county is taking place almost daily.
On Tuesday Of last week the board
Of directors met at Melrose to de-
eide a number Of matters of i'm
portance. At that time they met
with the light and power commits
sion of the city of Melrose and
agreed upon the terms of contract
for the furnishing of electric cur
rent for the rural lines. Under the
terms of the agreement the city
light and power commission will
build the line to the city limits
where the transformer and sub
station for the cooperative will be
located. At this point the meter
which will determine the amount
of current used by the farm lines
will also be located. The current
from the city generating plant will
flow into the sub-station at approx
imately 2400 volts and will be dis
tributed from the sub-station into
the rural lines at 1900 volts. This
voltage seems ample to take care
Of the needs Of the rural lines.
While the rural Identification ad-
ministration must approve this
contract, it Is more than likely
that all of the terms Of the agree
ment between the city and the CO
operatives will be approved. The
term of the contract as agreed on
is for a period Of ten years. The
city of Melrose recently installed
two new Diesel engines to generate
electric current in addition to the
steam unit that they will also have
available for this purpose. The city
plant as it now stands is capable
Of furnishing all Of the needs Of the
rural lines and the city is willing
to add additional units as they be-
come necessary.
Ignatius Lemm, Of Melrose, will
be the project superintendent dur
ing the period Of construction. His
name received the approval of the
rural Identification administration
at Washington recently.
The engineering firm, Ellerbe &
Company, Of st. Paul, has already
done considerable work on determ-
lining the type Of lines that have to
be built in different areas and will
in a short time be ready to send
their specifications to the rural
Identification administration at
Washington for approval. The de-
tails of the organization of the
rural classification program In
the county until now have been
handled almost entirely through
the county agents office at st.
Cloud but in the future will be Ia
ken care Of by the project superin-
tendent, the engineering firm, and
the attorney for the coop.

Cost Of War
Games Set At
, Two Million
Carl Fischer Outlined Army
Maneuvers At Rotary
Tuesday Noon

Two million dollars-more than
100 dollars per man-was the cost
to taxpayers Of the 18th army war
games completed at Camp Ripley
a week ago, President Carl Fisch-
err told members of the Rotary
Club Tuesday noon. His talk came
on the day when the Club hung up
perfect attendance record, and
the Club had as their guests Mr..
and Mrs. H. w. Druen, Of Chilli
cothe, Missouri.
In resume Of the games in
which local Company M figured in
the Bird Battalion, Mr.. Fischer re.
viewed the tide Of battle with q
picture of camp life.
In speaking Of the cost of the
maneuvers, Rotary's president said
that the cost Is slight compared
with the cost Of maintaining the
huge war machine the country Is
carrying now. All Of the two mil
lion, he said, cannot be charged off
to the war games since the only
added expense of these maneuvers
was transportation of long dis
lance outfits. Salaries Of the boys
in camp would have to have been
borne anyway.
Last week on a vacation he stop
ped at Rock Island, Illinois, where
one of the nations arsenals Is To-
Gated. Standing idle, the machines
are kept ready for production at a
moments notice. Machines are
constantly creased and cleaned
and on a moments notice the place
would be bee hive Of activity. Mr..
Fischer who was able to get in with
his officers Identification card,
learned that in "a hours production
would be completely under way in
the plant. Some munitions now on
hand could be on their way in four
hours. No one is permitted to stop
and inspect the place thoroughly,
no pictures can be taken of the
place, and it's contents too must re-
main military secrets.
"A part Of all the newest war
machinery of Uncle Sans was at
the games at Camp Ripley, said
Fischer. Among them were some
Of the new high-powered tanks
capable of travelling 10 miles per
hour. Being military secrets in
their construction, the only thing
you can learn about them Is that
specially designed rubber footgear
silences the caterpillar tread Of the
units. The tank makes one mile to
a gallon Of fuel.

West Union
Was Host to
Catholics Sun.
Despite The Rainy Weather
About 400 Were In
Attendance

Despite inclement weather about
400 members and friends of the
United Catholic Societies attended
the quarterly meeting held in West
Union Sunday st. Alexius Church,
under the leadership of FIR. Retzek,
was host to this splendid gather
ing. The program presented was
interesting and instructive.
The first speaker on the pro-
gram, Rev. Frank Zitur, Of Osakis,
outlined to parents their obligation
to provide not only the bodily
needs Of their children, but also
mental food. During the long win
ter days, particularly, the home
could be made the training center
for culture and knowledge develop
ment. Reading and discussions
were advocated by the speaker.
Following FIR. Zitur, Ed Lenzmeier,
county agent of Stearns county, IL
Illustrated graphically the urgent
need Of unity among farmers. He
advocated voluntary control of
production, which would permit
farmers, due to this means of or
ganized effort, to so control their
output that prices would remain
constant. In other words, a year Of
abundance would be followed by a
cut in production, so that farmers
would be enabled to work less land
and for the reduced effort still
achieve the same money. He said,
under that plan, organized farm
ers need not take what others feel
like giving them, with the old ali
bi of supply and demand" be-
cause the farmer would so regu-
late the demand by organized pro-
duction, that with supply" being
fully under their control, they
would control the price also and
would not be subject to the brok-
er's alibis. In the discussion follow
ing Mr.. Lenzmeier's talk, the val
ue of such a movement was defin-
ed and more clearly shown.
The Rev. Paulin Weisner, o. s.
B., of Metre Grove, urged practi-
cal application of the words Of the
Bishop, and in emphasizing FIR.
Zitur's talk, added new thought on
how to bring out Catholic action.
The invitation Of the st. Rose
delegates to hold the next meeting
in their village during the latter
part Of October was accepted. H. G..
Wakefield was chosen as secretary
to complete the unexpired term of
L. B. kaufman, Of Melrose, whose
resignation was rendered at this
session.
Following the meeting refresh
ments were made available. The
variety Of refreshments and the
method Of serving was humorously
and greatly enjoyed by all present.
Above all, the men washing dishes
caused many hearty laugh from
the ladies. All in all this meeting
again served to emphasize the val
ue of such centralized get-to-gether
parties.
