Opening a new era for Stearns
county when the year 1941 rolls
around will be the fact that in that
year the county will be free of all
bonded Indebtedness.
Frank Rainier, Stearns county
auditor, said this morning that with
the payment of amounts in 1889 in
1910 and 1941 the Stearns county
courthouse will be completely paid
for.
Mr.. Rainier pointed out that with
the decrease of the amount Of in
terest due on the principal from
year to year, county officials have
been able to pay larger amounts.

Presidents Neutrality Plan

President Roosevelt has laid plans to protect
the neutrality of the United States in effort to
keep out of the threatened European conflict His
first objective is the swift evacuation from Europe
of Americans, whose slaughter in civilian bombngs
or aboard torpedoed merchant ships might nfame
American public opinion against the guilty power
The second, immediate healing of the Mediterranean
lean diplomatic breach, to present solid neutral
front by the American republics and forestall
petition of German Vaccinations in Mexico which
hardened Americas resolve to enter the World War.
Those things essential for maintaining peace for
America. If Americans abroad cooperate with the
Presidents detectives and Americans at home don't
rock the boat" Uncle Sam may maintain neutrality
and peace Just remember the trying period through
the years of 1914 1915 1916 1917 and events which
transpired then to provoke and lead country in
to war, be averted.
