Feb. .. l7es. shs engaged tina
French 36-gun frigste LInsurss.ss
off the island Of Nevis.
After an hours brisk fighting
while a storm hsmpsrsd the gun
nery, the Frsnchmsn was cap
tured. While the oonstsIls ties
ended with only three killed and
wounded, the LTnsurgente had 70.
The French vessel, incidentally,
was reeonditionsd under the Amer
lean flag and later was the first
U. 5. wsrship TO cross the Atlantic
ocean.
Later that same month, the
Constellation engaged the French
frigste Nengeance-which boasted
40 per cent more gun-power. After
Chasing the Frenchman all day,
they finally engaged after sun
down and fought for five hours. At
the end Of that time, however, al
though ths Constellation had actu-
ally whopped the Vengeance sound
~, the latter managed to get away
and the Constellation couldn't pur-
sue because she'd lost so much rig
ging her mainmast went overheard.
Next the Constellation went to
the Mediterranean To take part in
the blockade of rripoli. That was
1904.
Home again in 1918 for general
repairs and overhaul. she was
biockaded herself at Norfolk, Va.
But even 50. whsn 1900 British
troops and their ships tried to cap
ture her she beat them off in the
harbor and sent them scramminfl
Two years later she was again
in the Mediterranean, and it was
then she and several other Ameri-
can ships individually engaged the
46-gun Algerian flagship Mashuda.
The Yankees were whipped in turn,
but the Mashuds finally surrender
ed, so it ended okeh for US any
how.
Next the Constellation was sent
TO Valparaiso TO hunt Spaniards In
1s21-22. No luck there, and no
fights.
In 1885 the eolorful ship furnish
ed seamen and marines 10 spend q
year with the army In Florida and
Georgia to help fight Indians.
After that (1s42) the ConsteIla-
ton was sent to Macao in South
China to participate in the Opium
War. However, things were pretty
well cleaned up-so she stuck
around 10 "sell" America.
Her active career really ended IN
1884. when the Constellation was
rebuilt into q receiving ship NJ the
Newport training station. There
she has remained ever since.
Contemporary of "Old Ironsides."
the Constellation was no less IA
nous under her nickname earned
by her speed and general smart
ness-"Yankee Racehorse."

Mrs.. L. Kells
Resigned
From Board
Resignation To Take
Effect November 1st-
Gave No Reason

On October LIST, Mrs. L. L. Kells,
Of this city, submitted her resig-
nation as a member Of the Stearns
County Welfare Board to take ef-
feet on November LIST, Of this year.
Following three years of service
as a member of the Child Welfare
Board, Mrs. Kells was appointed as
a member Of the Stearns County
Welfare Board, when it was or
ganized in 1887, and she has serv-
ed continuously since that time.
She was elected as secretary at
the organization meeting and con-
tinued in that position until the
time of her resignation. Mrs. Kells
gave no reason with her letter of
resignation.
It is probable that the vacancy
caused by this resignation will be
filled through the appointment of
some woman from the commission
er district of which Chas. Weber Is
the commissioner. That district
has not had representation on the
Welfare Board, and it is the only
commissioner district not repre-
scented. This, the Fifth Commits
sioner district, has had two men,
bers on the board, Mrs. Kells and
Commissioner Lawrence Herzog.

weighed almost to the man, Long
Prairie was not outfought. Behind
speed merchant Olson and passing
ace Swede Anderson, Long Prairie
set Sank Centres line back enough
in the first half to lick up one first
down.
Long Prairie never really threat
ened, but the speed of these backs,
forwarded by the finer work of
Dehn, Gogolock and Pugh on the
line gave Long Prairie the label Of
a spirited club that wasn't downed
50 easily by weight and numbers.
After one succession by Long Prai-
RE after the kickoff, Sank Centre
started from its own AZ yard line,
marched for the SO yards down the
field, took three first downs and
then begged on the fourth down
play just three yards from the goal.
With Cooper and Vandesteeg doing
the Juggling Sank Centre marched
to the Is after a pass from Cooper
to Veeder at end was incomplete.

Farmer and city co-ops in Min

represented at the coming Nation
al Cooperative League Congress at
Chicago, October 1913, following
selection Of % delegates and alter
mates at ten recent meetings of CO.
op Representatives throughout the

Sank Lake Coop. Oil Association,
elected recently, are Roscoe E. Fla
haven and Emil Hierl.
Besides these delegates, the ten
directors of the Midland Co-opera-
tive Wholesale, of Minneapolis and
Milwaukee, will also be official del
egates. Thus the entire Midland
organization Of over 200 federated
local co-ops will have over 30 repre-

official national gathering of all
cooperatives affiliated with the Co
operative League Of the U. S. A.
Over one million members of con-
sumner co-ops in 40 states will be
represented.
The program of the Congress will
center around four chief topics:
proper and adequate finances; eff
fective cooperative education; CO.
operative recreation; and the prob
lens and opportunities Of coopera-
tive business.

Plan to Open
Book Station
In Raymond
Under Stearns County
Library Demonstration
Supervisor
SELECT COMMITTEE
Part of Statewide
Project Discussed
At Gradatim

Plans for opening the first book
station in the Stearns County Ii
brary demonstration in Raymond
Township are being made follow
ing a meeting Of the Township
Farm Bureau in Padua last week.
At that time the group heard Miss
Lucille Gottry, demonstration sup
ervisor, explain the purpose of the
county library demonstration and
how it will operate, and assured its
sponsorship. A committee consis-
ting of Mrs. Ferdinand Weiner,
chairman, Miss Elizabeth Imdieke,
publicity chairman and Mike Ess-
Ter, financial chairman, was ap-
pointed to find a suitable location
for the book station and to take
charge Of publicizing the new
station.
The demonstration is part of the
WPA Statewide Library Project
sponsored by the Library Division
Of the Minnesota State Department
of Education. It's purpose is to
bring books to the many residents
of the county now without access
to a public library, and to show
how such service may be assured
for everyone through county
library system.
Miss Gottry also spoke at a
meeting of the Gradatim Club in
Sank Centre, at the home of Mrs.
r. E. Bushey This club, which was
active in starting the public library
there, is also much interested in
cooperating in the county library
project.
Miss Gottry also discussed the
demonstration with interested resi-
dents in Sartell Tuesday evening.
"The county library is simply a
system of book distribution plann-
ed to reach every reader in a coun-
ty," Miss Gottry said. "The chief
reason for a county system is that
the county Is large enough to sup
port a good library with a large
collection Of books at less cost to
the taxpayer than a series Of small
community libraries which would
still leave the rural residents with
out book service" Miss Gottry ex-
planned. Through the rotation OF
books from station to station, there
is a fresh and up-to-date supply
for everyone without the expense
of duplication.
1.-THE county library simply
means" she stated, "all the books
and magazines every man, woman
and child in the county wants, sup
piled in the most convenient man.
ner, at less cost per capita annually
to the taxpayer than the cost Of
an ordinary book or magazine sub
scription."
The denomination, she said, will
attempt to show in limited way
how this can be accomplished in
Stearns County, and will leave be-
hind it a foundation on which
permanent system may be estab-
lished. In the meantime it will pro-
vide books at once for everyone
who wishes to borrow them.

Work of Cleaning
Water Mains In
City Completed
Live Air Forced Through
Pipe Lines Blows Out
All Rust Particles

Work Of cleaning the 100 blocks
Of water mains in the city has been
completed, and the workmen are
now engaged in cleaning city sup
ply wells. We were informed the
latter job will take about three or
four days and that all work should
be completed the latter part Of the
week. The entire network of pipe
lines within the city as well as the
Home School line have been
cleaned.
This cleaning process is done by
forcing live air through the wat
er-filled mains. The air is blown in
to one hydrant and the rust which
has accumulated through the years
is forced out Of another hydrant
which has been opened. 1t is said
this process takes all rust out Of
the pipes and mains, and that they
are like new when completed.
p. Cairncross & Co., a st. Paul
firm, was employed by the Water,
Light & Power Commission to do
this work.
