Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1914-03-18

The contest between the wet and
dry forces in Warren has been waged
and decided against the saloon. 1t is
plain that the people of this city will
not countenance the saloon in its
midst. This fact should be recogniz.
ed by every citizen, regardless of
what position he has taken on this
question in the past. While it is adj
mitted that honest and sincere men
may we'll differ on the best method of
controlling and suppressing the liquor
evil, and no one can justly classify all
who voted wet as enemies of temper
ance, yet the people have spoken and
it behooves all good citizens now to
lay aside their differences and abide
by the result The saloon question is
moral question and for more than a
score of years it has been the bone
Of contention in this city as we'll as
in other cities and at every election it
has caused more or less contention
and i'll feeling among citizens who
ought to be friends and should work
tremendously together for the upbuild-
ing Of our fair little city. Many good
citizens, regardless of what stand they
have taken on this question have felt
that this was unfortunate for us as a
city and that the sooner the cause
were removed, the better it would be
for us all. This nation could not en-
dure half slave and half free, and
neither was it possible for this city to
exist half whiskey and half anti-whis-
key any longer, if it was to grow and
prosper as a city For years the
hydra headed liquor question has hung
aus a pail upon our fair city, has en-
tered into and affected other cues
lions, moves and plans for the better
ment of the city and it's advancement
along moral, educational and material
lines. 1t was necessary that this
blight be removed. Henceforth the
policy of Warren should be and must
be, mo saloons for Warren When
the saloons closed their doors on Mon
day evening, it was for two years, ac-
cordlng to the new charter, and we
believe forever Within two years we
believe we will have county option,
but if not, then public sentiment will

loon, that no one will care to submit
the question to vote. Having rid
ourselves of this baneful influence in
our midst, let us now all as friends
and good, patriotic American citizens
unite our energies and efforts for the
upbuilding of our city and our entire
community. The people of this city
have decided that the saloon must 20,
and let all citizens be reconciled to
this fact, and ready and willing to aid
and stand by the authorities in en-
forcing the liquor laws as well as all
other good laws. We will all be glad
before long that Warren had the NOR
al stamina to wipe out the saloons.
Our city is a cleaner, stronger and
better city now than before the cleo
ton. Let us love our city and all the
people in 1t, and let us do all in our
power to make it and keep It the fair
est and best little city in this whole
valley, a city where people will like
to come and make their homes

SOME FISH STORY.

Glenwood, July 6.-The domestic
trout that has been reared at the
state hatchery and the cool springs
along the lake shore, did not find the
warm waters of the lake congenial,
and came back home, after being lib
Grated by the heavy rains that washed
away one of the dams to the trout
pond. 1t is also possible that these
trout, grown fat and lazy by being fed
on liver, objected to hustling for their
own food, and were glad to get back
to their artificial habitat. Executive
Agent Rider of the state game and
fish commission was here this week
to see what damage had been done.
The most serious loss was the es-
cape of the trout, and their return
was welcomed by the state agent.

FIFTEEN INJURED
Interurban Electric Car and Freight
Collide at Faribault Thursday
With Disastrous Results

Faribault, Mimi, July 11.-Fifteen
persons were injured, several prob
ably fatally, when a Dan Patch inter-
urban passenger car collided with a
steam freight train in the northern
limits of Faribault.
The interurban contained about
forty-five passengers, all of whom
were hurled to the floor and sides of
the car by the terrific impact. The
electric car was telescoped, nearly
every seat being torn from the floor
and tossed in all directions.
John Mcknight, superintendent Of
the Dan Patch electric line, wired the
railroad and warehouse commission
asking that an investigation of the
collision be started.
Officials of the road blame the
freight train crew, according to a
statement issued by R. E. Wyer, sec
rotary to President M. w. Savage of
the line.

PIGS VS.. CHILDREN.

st. Paul, July 10-Does the govern
ment of the United States set a high
er value on its pigs than on its child
rem? That was the question left with
the teachers by P. P. Claxton Of
Washington. He said the government
annually appropriated 100000 to
better agricultural conditions and to
increase the size of the pigs. but when
he asked congress for 100000 to be
used in an investigation to benefit the
school children Of the United States,
congress thought he was urreason-
ably extravagant in his demands. He
said that there was a great work in
the kindergarten and elementary gar
den of the public schools, and it was
the duty of the teachers to ascertain
the mental and physical conditions Of
the children placed In their charge,
that all physical defects might thus
early be corrected.

of their infant child of Eine months
who passed into a better land Mon

sick on the eighteenth of June with
an attack of spinal meningitis. As
the case grew worse the serum was
used after which the child seemed to
rally but only for a short time when
it was known that there was no help
for the little sufferer, though every
thing was done that was possible to
aid it in any way. The burial of the
child took place Tuesday morning in
st. Patrick's cemetery. The sympa-

Banking In England.

The system of credit in England Is
different from that in this country.
and the mere fact that man has an
account in bank serves to give him
standing. One cannot open an account
with Il bank in England merely by
carrying money to the bank and depOs-
iting it. He must have two first class
references before bank will accept
his account. and when reference is
given it means that the person giving
it would indOrse or stand for the per-
son to whom it is given. A reference
in England means more than a mere
phrase. Checks on banks in England
cannot be obtained for the mere ask
ing. and a man must have an account
in order to get checks from any bank.
They cannot be picked up on bank
counters or in public places. Private
accounts in English banks are not ac-
cepted unless they are paid for, the
general charge being $50 year. There
are one or two banks in England
which discriminate SO carefully in the
accounts they accept that when per-
son is fortunate enough to be permit
ted to open an account with them he
can get credit in any city in England
or on the continent of Europe.

NEW USE FOR ALFALFA,

A Minneapolis company with a cap
ital OF $4,000 has been organized for
the purpose of exploiting alfalfa as a
tonic, food and beverage. The COM
pany proposes to put on the market
alfalfa tea, substitute for coffee,
made from alfalfa, breakfast foods
and medicines, table sirups for mix
ing cooling drinks at soda fountains.
Already some fountains in the north
west have added alfalfa strip" to va
nilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon
and the usual menu. Several food
dishes made wholly from alfalfa have
been served at special meetings of
business men and the food, it is said
has been highly relished. So it ap-
pears that alfalfa may not always be
confined to use as a food crop for
the farm animals. While its use as a
food beverage and medicine for hu-
mans is in it's infancy, the progress of
this new use for alfalfa will be watch
ed with great deal of interest by the
farmers. Should alfalfa eventually
become popular for such uses its val
ue as farm crop would be greatly
enhanced.-Pierre Journal.

some interesting statistics in regard
to equal suffrage as follows:
Do you know-of course you don't
that over 14,057,G82 women will
PROBABLY be able to vote for President
N 1916?
That in the whole United States the
number of women twenty-one years
and over as in 1910, 24555,754.
That the number of women TWEEN
ty-one years and over in the nine
equal suffrage states is more than
1,99S,O73, while in Illinois the num-
Der is over 1867 ,491, making total
of more than 1865, 500 women over 81
in states where women are now en-
titled to vote for president? That the
1914 probabilities (Which includes the
states where the amendment has al
eaay been submitted to the legisla-
ture or will be submitted by initiative
petition) will add 3,3O5,2O1 women
over Fl, and the 1915 probabilities
will add approximately 7,286,317,
making the amazing total of over H.,
900, OOO-surely a sufficiently formid-
able number to receive consideration

FATTEN STOCK ON STUBBLE
Many North Dakota Farmers to do
Finishing This Year on a
Large Scale.

Fargo, N. D. July 13-Many North
Dakotans are planning to purchase
trainloads of steers and sheep in Mon
tana and finish and feed them for the
market this fall. Some notable sue
cesses were made las, rail- and these
have resulted in inspiring the others
to make the attempt.
For a number of years sheep had
been brought in and fed on the stub
BILE, but it has only been the last year
or two that corn has been grown IN
sufficient quantities to influence farm
ers to make the attempt at finishing
the range cattle for market.
This year the stubble will be espe-
cially fine and there is an abundance
of all forms of forage crops. The
sheep readily will fatten on the stub
BILE.
The cattle are first ranged on the
stubble and fed later some green corn
in addition, after which they are
turned into the ripened corn fields.
The cattle and sheep are shipped
into North Dakota in transit under an
agreement with the railroads and the
cattle are dropped off here on a guar
antee of at least sim;iar amount OF
outgoing freight. The increased
weight is carried on Il prorata basis
and the arrangement works moSt
satisfactorily for both the farmers
and the railroads.
In some Localities where nv one
farmer is able to purchase an entire
trainload, three or four or more go
in together. The bankers usually sre
glad to assist by furnishing money
at low rate of interest. The .'attla
finished in this way in North Lskots,
last year topped the South ST. Paul
market.

CHARGED With FORGERY
Warrant Issued for the Arrest of
GlenwOOd Painter Charged with
Forging Several Cheeks.

Edwin Joyce who worked in Glen
wood for some time rs a painter and
paper hanger is wanted by the au-
thorities, warrant having been
sworn to charging him with forgery,
says the Glenwood Herald.
So far as is known he victimized
three parties in this city on the ev-
ening OF July Fourth. He dropped in
at Myron's store in the evening and
offered to settle his account. Mr.. N.Y.
ron mistook him for another party
and presented him with latter's ac-
count. Mr.. Joyce acknowledged the
account and offered to write a check,
but unfortunately he had no blanks.
He borrowed one from Mr.. Myron
and made out a check for two dollars
more than the alleged account
amounted to. Mr.. Myron accepted the
check and made change.
1t seemed that Mr.. Joyce secured
a few more of Mr.. Myron's check
blanks, for short time later he ap-
peared at the Lakeside Hotel and
presented check for S25 purporting
to be signed by DR.. H. A. Grieves. The
proprietor knew the gentleman and
obliged him by cashing the check.
On the morning Of July 6, he
bought a ticket at the 500 depot for
Minneapolis and presented a check
supposed to have been signed by H.
A. Myron. The amount of this check
was SIP. The night clerk, Mr..
Morse, accepted the check and made
the necessary change.
Since that time he has not been
seen, and there appears to be no clue
at the present time which will help
the authorities to locate him.

they effect the local situation are Civ

fective the first of this month.
In the case of what are known as
special request envelopes" when or
dered by patrons, the department in
structs that the street address or the
room number Of the building must be
printed on all such stamped envel-
opes.
Certain restrictions are placed also
on what are known as window envel-
opes, used quite extensively by firms.
Such must hereafter be of a size to
admit of the window being not less
than one and three-eights inches
from the top of the envelope and not
less than three-eights inch from the
ends.
Patrons are notified that no fourth
class matter will under any circum-
stances be accepted for mailing at
railway mail cars.
Several new stamps, new in color
and new denomination, are to be is
sued by the del artment. Among the
new varieties will be a seven cent

(maroon), a twenty cent Eight bfue)
and "a thirty cent (vermillion). These
stamps are designed for use more es-
pecially on parcels, although they will
be accepted as postage on all matter.
The local office will in short time
be furnished probably with supply
of the new stamps of the lower de-
nomination only. There is little de-
mand locally for the 80 cent stamps
and a twenty cent stamp (pink) has
already been in use for some time
past.

SELLING SUITING
Todd County Farmers Have Been De-
frauded by Peddlers Selling
Cloth for Suits.

Our attention was called Tuesday
to the fact that peddlers are travel
ing through the vicinity of Long Pra-
ire and Browerville selling cloth for
suits Of clothes, says the Todd County
Argus. We understand that they have
sold about four hundred dollars worth
in the vicinity of Browerville and that
they are expected here to work this
territory.
They are very smooth talking
bunch of fellows and their little story
sounds very good. They go to the
farmers homes and show them sever
al pieces of goods which they have
and give them prices that are very
attractive and sound very cheap, and
that they will send their tailors
around in few days TO have them
make up suits for them. Of course,
this they will never do. This is only
talk to catch the purchaser. Similar
parties worked in this vicinity two
years ago and several bit on it. They
bought the cloth and waited until a
month or two had passed and no tail
or ever showed up. In one instance
that we know, the party brought the
cloth to this village to have a suit
made up, and it was found that he did
not have near enough cloth. We want
to warn our readers in this country to
watch for them and when they come
show them the road.

TO ERECT Big dam
Monster Concrete Structure Will Be
Built Across Mississippi at Lit
tie Falls This Year.

Little Falls, MINI, July IA solid
concrete dam is in process of con-
struction across the Mississippi at
Little Falls to replace the old wool
en- one which has done service for
many years. The east wing is now
under process of construction. The
west wing will be built during the
summer of 1915.
The dam will be Of the same
height as the old one, but there will
be no loss of power through leakage.
The base Of the dam is thirty feet in
thickness and narrows to six feet ut
the top. Three large waste gates oc-
cupy the centre of the east wing and
are of sufficient capacity to accomo-
date any head of water that may be
necessary. The Little Falls Power
company is the owner of the dam and
has installed its own machinery, in
Guiding crushers, mixers ande eleva-
tors. The elevator which raises the
concrete to send it down to the work
is 12O feet in height. E. P. Callahan
who built the big dam at Crookston
is in charge of the work.
The city will probably agree to pay
for the construction of bridge across
the top of the dam to Mill island,
which lies directly in the center of the
river, and acriss the upper end of
which the dam passes. If this pro-
ject is carried out the island will be
turned into a municipal park.
