Adjt. Gen. Fred c. Ainsworth
of the army has been relieved from
duty at the War Department and
soon will be ordered before court
martial.
While the charges have not been
framed, it is understood they will
be based on conduct to the preju-
dice of good order and discipline
and perhaps insubordination.
Serious friction long has existed
between the adjutant generals
office and the general staff, and the
crisis came when Secretary Stim-,
son sided with the latter. Matters
were brought to an issue by re-
port made last week by Gen. Aims
worth to the. Secretary of War in
connection with the muster and
pay rolls, and Secretary Stimson'
felt that the adjutant general had
used language that impugned his
own integrity and fairness, as well
as that of other officers of the de-
partment.
In communication to the ad-
jutant general, Secretary Stimson
declared the Ainsworth report to
be the elimination of series of
outbreaks evidencing "such intol-
erance of insubordination and
such readiness to impugn the
motives or the intelligence OF
those with whom it is your duty
to work in association as, if un-
corrected, to destroy your useful-
ness in your present Office.
Regarding the attack upon HIM
self, Secretary Stimson said that
he referred the matter to the
President, who directed Gen.
Ainsworth's release pending dis
ciplinary measures.
Mccain in Charge.
Col. Henry P. Mccain of the
adjutant generals department.,
who has been Gen. Ainsworth' 5
principal assistant at the War De-
partment for several years past,
has been placed in charge of the
adjutant generals Office.
The reasons for the changes
are stated in letter written by
Secretary Stimson to Gen. Aims
worth, as follows:
Secretary Stimson's Letter.

local farmers, town board and auto

do their share in keeping the south
west road in excellent condition,
while VIM. Carter will begin at the
city limits and improve three miles

SWEET" Town

Isanti is the first county in Mime
sofa to go dry" Villages and cities
in all sections of the state have been
and are dry" but never before has
an entire county been without a
saloon.
The village council of Isanti is re.
sponsible for the situation, for at the
last election the twets' at Isanti vii
Iage won by two votes. Last night
the council met to consider applica-
tons for license. 1t was pointed out
that the village was the only wet"
spot left in the entire county, and
after discussing the matter the coun-
Gil decided to disregard the election
result and refuse to grant a license.
THE council didn't want the vii

TRY EXPERIMENT
WITH SILOS
Will Mean Thousands of Dol
lars to Farmers if Sue
cessfuI

An experiment took place at the
Sears-Gold stock farm near Wabasso
Friday, the result of which will be
closely watched by the many skepti-
cal farmers who believe it to be a
dubious proposition.
The two large silos with a capacity
CT 400 tons of ensilage were nearly
empty, so the management decided
to refill them with corn stalks that
had been in the field all winter, The
dry corn stalks were chopped up in
the same manner that they are when
freshly cut in the fall, and both
silos were filled.
The result of the experiment will
be watched with keen interest for
it is believed by many to be imprac-
ticable.
The silo is fast and steadily gain
ing ground in Redwood county.
Last year more than 20 were. con-
structed and it is reported that
there are fully 80 in the county to-
day, while it is predicted that there
will be at least from so to 100 in an
other year. Silo farmers say that
the silo proved to be stanch factor
during the scarcity of forage the
past year.
