Mexican Weed of Madness.

From The New York Sun.
One of the things to be avoided
by American soldiers in Mexico.
is the seductive marihuana weed,
which grows around Vera Cruz
and in the territory lying be-
tween that city and the capital.
For several years there has been
in effect an order of the Next
can Government prohibiting the
sale of marihuana to Mexican
soldiers. Notwithstanding this
order the dangerous weed is Of

barracks and is secretly smoked
by the men. When much in

leaves of the plant causes insan-
ity.
1t is said that immediately af-
ter the first three or four
draughts the smokers feel a
slight headache. Then they see
everything moving around them
and finally lose control Of their
mental faculties. They imagine
they see herds of tigers, lions,
devils and monsters coming to
attack them. They are not
afraid, but feel themselves brave
and strong enough to fight and
annihilate any number of en-
emies.
The victim of the weed begins
to fight and to imagine that he i

imaginary beings whom he can.

until the smoker is panic-strickel

TO AMPUTATE FEET
Spooner Homesteader Who Was
Frost Bitten to Undergo Operation


Peter. N. Gill, the Spooner home
steader who was brought to Bemidji
yesterday by Sheriff johnson was ta-
ken to the Samaritan hospital this
morning where he will have both
feet operated upon because of their
having been badly frost bitten two
months ago. Gill had been arrested
for vagrancy at Spooner, and he was
believed to be demented, but when
taken before Judge Clark yesterday
it was decided that the condition Of
his feet had caused him such suffer-
ing that his mind had become unbal-
anced, and an operation was thought
to be the1lbest method to relieve him.
One foot will likely he almost entire

AUTO SERVICE IS SUCCESS
Eckles Market Association Finds New
Plan Much More Profitable Than

MAKE DAILY TRIP TO, BEM1DJI

Even more successful than had
been hoped for was the result of
the first week of business by the auto

ed by the Eckles Market association.
The auto, which is in charge Of A. l..
Gould manager of the association,

ing in products of the Eckles farmers
for SALE
During the first week the cash
sales amounted to SITS, better
ing the estimate which had been
made at the time of organizing the
association when it was figured that
if $50 worth of farm produce could
be sold each day the venture would
be great success.
In speaking of the enterprise J. C..
McGhee, one of the most progressive
of the Eckles farmers said: "The
indications are that the association
will have a better steady trade than
had been hoped for. With SITS to
5000 cash coming in each week to
our farmers it means just that much
toward the improvements of their
homes and ENSURES Bemidji people of

that's what everybody says Of Presi-
dent Huerta once they have met
him." said Olson. .sHe's drunkard
and all reports of his mingling in
vice are true from what learned
and saw of him. y
Olson left Minneapolis last Sep
tember for Bisbee, Ariz, to enter the
mining business, but at the outbreak
of the Mexican trouble he went to
Chihuahua to take photographs.
Here he was seized by the constitu-
tionalists and thrown into prison at
ter his camera and uaraphernaNa
had been confiscated. 1t was while
in prison that Olson became &C
quainted with Captain Potaro, the
man he later saved after the battle
of Torreon, and it was to him that
Olson owes his release from prison.
Villa Friend of u. S.
Finding it was unsafe to remain in
Mexico any longe unless in some ac-
tive duty Olson was persuaded to
join the Mexican Red Cross as an
attendant and in this position he did
rescue work at the battle of Chihua-
5hua, Comaz Palasco, Torreon and Ju-
arez.
General Villa is a friend of the
Americans, said Olson. s@He always
spoke to any Americans that were in
any of the cities attacked and he per-
sonally saw that they were removed
from the scene of fighting without
being injured.
1.-THE conditions that exist among
the poems as a result of the fighting
is terrible. They are poor and ig-
norant, and with the war devasting
the country, they have been forced
to seek other ends for their food sup-
plies. You see many of tie poems
eating rattlesnakes, while others
scour the country for Mexican mes
quite and other natural grasses and
herbs"
