Snow Proves Fatal
To MinneOta Cows

A late spring snow storm proved
too much for stock on Minneota
farm, according to reports, and
% head of cattle were lost to the
owner. The storm, which broke
suddenly last week, drove the cat
tie toward a creek in the pasture
where they had been feeding. 1t
is believed that they became
mired in the soft ground around
the creek and became begged
down so that they were unable to
pull themselves out. When found
they were completely covered by
the heavy, wet snow.
Several head of cattle were dead
when discovered and after much
frantic digging on the part of the
farmer and his sons, few head
were pulled out and taken to the
barn. The night under the heavy
blanket of snow, however, proved
to have been too much exposure
for the cattle and several died
after being taken into the barn.

Every Laker But Two
Makes One or More Hits
During the Contest.

While most of the other Pine coun-
ty baseball teams were limbering up

Patrol Brings Grief
To Drunken Drivers

Two hundred and two Minnesota
motorists were jailed for drunken
and careless driving by the Mime
sofa Highway patrol in April, an
increase of Ill over March, accord
ing to a report by John P. Arnoldy
patrol chief, to N. w. Elsberg, state
| highway commissioner. Convictions
resulted in all cases.
The patrol, now operating under
the new traffic code, expects further
strides to rid streets and highways
of drunken drivers in May. 1t will
no longer be required to take Of
tenders into district courts for drunk
en- driving prosecutions. Offenders
can be arraigned in municipal and
justice courts under the new law
which makes the offense a misde-
meanor In a bulletin to members
of the patrol, Chief Arnoldy cited
penalties prescribed by law are:
For the first offense, Imprisonment
for not less than 10 days nor more
than 80 days or a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $1OO; for
the second or subsequent conviction
imprisonment for not less than 80
days nor more than 80 days or a fine
of not less than $25 nor more than
$780,"
In April, Is were charged with
drunken driving, gross misde-
meanor under the old law, and 1877
faced the less serious charge of care
less driving. The patrol classes them
all as drunken drivers, but placing
of charges heretofore has been deter
mined by county attorneys.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

1t has been deemed pertinent

Christian X, King of Denmark.
1912-May 15-1937
A few years ago there was in
Copenhagen a story current to the
effect that King Christian one day
in making one of his not infrequent
visits to a children's hospital en-
countered a skeptical little fellow
who from his bed looked up at the
tall majesty and asked:
'Is it really true that you are the
king?"
'Why, yes" was the answer.
'Well"-the boy looked again
"but then, why don't you wear your
CROWN"
NO." the king smiled to the wan
little face on the pillow-"I don't
wear that on rainy days."
AS matter of fact, the king has
never worn his crown; it is char
acteristic of him that he never went
through the gorgeousness of a cor
onation-character because it il
Illustrates in him a trait that has
endeared him to his people, viz,
his innate distaste of pomp and gilt
ter. And yet, he is every inch-and
there are about 76 of them! a king.
