Local Dodge Dealer
Back From Conference

Returned from Minneapolis where he
attended conference of Dodge auto
mobile dealers and factory executives,
is Claude Ellis, of Pete's Garage, Dodge
dealers of this city.
The meeting, comprising dealers of
the northwest region of the Dodge or
ganization as well as headquarters exc
cutives and regional supervisors of the
automobile manufacturing company,
was an important affair, one of its
features being preview of the new
1899 Dodge and Plymouth models re-
stricted to the visiting dealers.
The new, larger entirely different
models Mr.. Ellis reports, created much
enthusiasm and were unanimously re-
garded as the most luxurious cars yet
built by Dodge.
The 1899 models include brand-new
mechanical features, among them a
Revolutionary "Safety-light" speedo-
meter described as using color signals in
indicating different ranges of speed.
One of the points made clear in re-
ports discussed by the dealer meeting
was the suspicious circumstance that
the introduction of the almost exciting
attractive models is practically certain
to coincide with marked tangible i'm
provementS in general business con-
ditions such as effect the buying of
automobiles.
Accompanying Mr.. Ellis on his trip to
MINNEAPOLIS was /, IT Nicholas in
charge of the books at the Pete Garage.

Girl, z, Gets Hair
Caught In Wringer

Luverne- Fay Davis, seven
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orlie
Davis, had a narrowing experience when
she got her hair caught in the washing
machine wringer. The child was alone
in the house at the time and was play
ing near the wringer but she is unable
to tell how her hair became caught.
Her parents heard her scream and ran
into the house. They released the rolls
and worked the girls hair loose but a
patch of hair about the size of a silver
dollar was torn out of the scalp by the
roots. Outside of bad headache,
Donna Fay is little the worse for her
experience.

A prominent writer in one of

present treatment in the matter
of taxes and payments of all
kinds, the middleman will be
a thing of the past within a few
years and an example of this
class will only be noticeable in
museums. He will occupy a
place alongside the dodo, the

ancient and odd exhibits usu-
ally found in such institutions.
He claimed the country will
only have two classes, the very

Fishing has been good in our
lakes this year but for some
reason the fishermen have not
been so numerous the past two
years. Resort owners think
they know the reason, says the
Minneapolis Journal. They
blame the 81 license fee now
exacted by the state from nom
resident fishermen. Consider
able kicking on the fee was
done last year and the tourists
threatened a boycott. 1t seems
likely that a great many of
them have carried out the
threat. The Journal thinks
the legislature should remedy
the situation by cutting the
license fees. Four dollars is
not a large sum to pay but
when each member of the
family is assessed it amounts
to considerable, so much in
fact, as to cause the tourist to
go to other states where more
moderate fees prevail.

DriUer Chased Into
Telephone Pole by Bee

Isle-With all the flowers to pep them
up the bees are rather lively this year
One proved its athletic ability one day
last week near the Paul Wolf place
northeast of here, causing the uproot-
ing Of shrubbery and the breaking of a
telephone pole. A car approached the
village at high rate of speed when
a bee began to argue with the driver,
either for more or less speed. The car
left the road, tore up great deal of
shrubbery and uprooted and broke in
two large telephone pole. After emer-
|gency treatment for one of it's pas
|sengers the car proceeded on it's way.
Occupants sustained only minor in

TAX ROLLS LOSE SIX MILLION.

Six million acres of land in Mime
sofa have been removed from the tax
rolls since 1884 because of forfeitureS
and the taking over Of lands for re-
forestation and game preserves by state
and federal governments, according to
the Minnesota Taxpayers association.
Homestead valuations have decreased
by one-third, twenty per cent of which
has been caused by the decrease i'll
county total taxable valuations. This
reduced the valuation of the state by
1876 million dollars approximately, the
State Association points out.

Right of Way to Grand Street Property Sought
 By New York Co.

Seeking a declaration of rights as to easement of light and air, and right of way to property on Grand street, the New York Life Insurance company today brought Superior Court acton against Jacques Henry Green and others, owners of ad- joining property.
 The insurance company is owner of the building at the southeast corner of Bank and Grand streets. which ownership they acquired De- cember II, 1887, by virtue of fore closure proceedings against Nathan Spiegel and David Kaplan.
 The defendants are owners of the adjoining property, and the question arises from the possibility that the former owners of the fore closed property supplied the defen- dants with an agreement giving them air and light rights after the foreclosure proceedings were en- tered. Attorney John D. Thoms ap- pears as counsel for the plaintiffs.

There was a large attendance yesterday afternoon at the sixteenth annual meeting of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women, held at 56 Church street headquarters for the council. Miss Kathryn w.

Looram, of Elmhurst, L. l., national chairman of the Motion Picture Bureau of the Internati tional Federation of Catholic Alunnae, was the guest speaker, taking as her topic. "The Legion of Decency and Its Accomplishments"
 Decency Profitable
 Mrs. Looraln, who along with her duties as Motion Picture Bureau chairman is prominently unidentified with the Legion of Decency, and also is a director of the Metropoli- tan Motion Picture organization. In addition to her work in New York with sixty assistants, she has also organized a coast group in Holly wood Her experiences in this field as related yesterday by Mrs. Looram were enlightening, and in her re- counting of same something of the magnitude of the work was appreci- ated by her listeners. She spoke of the cooperation given the Legion and Motion Picture Bureau and said that in their classifying of pictures and grading them A, B, or C., box office receipts were increased rather than decreased. The producers themselves, welcomed the curtail- ment of filth in movies, and in prac. tically all cases the stars and players also.
 Classification
 She spoke of the close attention given to preYiews and reading of scripts and the many things that were taken into consideration before accepting, condemning or classifying a picture. A picture of historical background or developed from some standard work of fiction, was &C., cepted in so far as it followed its text without bringing out unsavory
