JUROR WISHES TO RETURN 60c
Clerk of Court S. P. Brick
has received a letter from a
resident of the south-western
part of the county in which
the writer states that he was
overpaid in milage at the last
term of court and wi-hes to
return the monev.
Pete Peterson is the man's
name and he receives mail on
a rural route out of Holding-
ford. He was a juror in the
Martin murder trial and in
turning in his mi'aoe he s'at-
ed that the automobile in
which he came to town registered just 25 miles. Since
returning home Mr.' Peterson
finds that he lives just 22
miles from this city instead
of 25 miles and believes that
lie was over-paid 60c in milage. He writes the clerk asking* in what manner he will
return same.
This is probably the first
instance of the kind in the
hi-tory of the county ard
caused many expressions of
surprise at tha court house.
Now the question arises:
"What will be done with the
60 cents?" Will it be turned
back to the fund covering* district court expenses or will a
conscience fund be started?
The conscience fund idea does
not gain much favor as it is
thought that it would remain
so small that the money in it
would be of no material benefit to the count}'.—Transcript

COST OF POTATO RAISING
Wadena News: S. M. Grant
of Albia, Iowa, who is extensively interested in the growing and marketing of potatoes
at Verndale, is someihirg of
ai. optimist on the subject of
raising* potatoes in this section of the state. He savs the

be a "RallyWeek"' when extended Parmer's Institute work
will be done by representatives
from the College of Agriculture.
An earnest effort has been
made to make this work practical and closely adapt it to
the conditions that must be
met with here in Morrison
county. We want to make the
farm life in Morrison county so
profitable and attractive that
the boys and girls will not
want to leave the farm and go
where they really cannot do as
well and be as happy. It is our
aim to make the work as profitable for the girls as the boys.
%A11 instruction will be free as
the school is in part supported
by the state. The cost to the
student will be his living incidental expenses. We shall be
glad to help students to find
places where they can get
rooms or board. It is probable
that some can find places to
work for their board.
Students or peirents who are
interested should call upon or
write Supt- H. E. White of Little Palls who will be glad to
give further information or assistance.
