Joseph Milstein and family will be
dcported to Winnipeg. They are
Russian Jews and came here some
months ago from Grand Forks. Mil
stein refused to work and demanded
Il ticket to Russia. Later his ccccn-
tricities landed him in the state asv-
lum. Two daughters went to the
bad and the mother and younger
members of the family were support
ed by the county and local organiza-
tions. An investigation disclosed
the fact that Milstein entered the
United States illegally and an i'm.
migration inspector has taken him
back to Winnipeg.
Agitation for IL paid fire depart
ment is being renewed. The demand
comes largely from the insurance
men. 1t is generally admitted that
the volunteer service is good. but the
delay in sufficient number of men
reaching fires at night frequently
permits the flames to get good
start: There is no disposition on the
part of the volunteers to oppose a
new arrangement. They are serving
through desire to protect property
and seem willing to let go when a
paid department is agreed upon.

THE ANNUAL MOVEMENT OF
