Hammond IS Now
Chief Executive
Governor Elect Waited Until Today
So That Retiring Governor May
Address Legislature

Winfield S. Hammond took two
days of grace before entering upon
the duties of governor of Minnesota.
Under the constitution he should have
taken Office Tuesday, but he announced
that he would not take the oath un-
til the formal Inauguration ceremony
in the house chamber today. "There
is some question whether Governor
Eberhart would have the right to adj
dress the legislature on Wednesday
if l should take the oath in advance"
said Mr.. Hammond Tuesday. eff l
should take the oath today would
be governor"
Sees Applicants for Office
Thus the original program has been
changed, and Mr.. Hammond did not
go near the state capitol yesterday.
Instead he spent the day at his rooms
in the Saint Paul hotel, receiving ap-
plications for office.
Adolph 0. Eberhart will continue
to be governor until today at II a
M, when he will read his farewell
message to the legislature in joint
session. Mr.. Hammond will then
take the oath of office before the as
sembled legislators and deliver his
inaugural message.
No appointments were announced
by Mr.. Hammond yesterday. He sale
that one probably will come today
and that is supposed to be the insur
ance commissioner. Leading possibili
ties for this place are Neil M. Cronir
of Minneapolis, S. D. Works of st

Sharp Upturn Comes With Heavy
European Orders Excite
ment in Chicago

Wheat prices in the Minneapolis pit
went rushing upward Monday, strik-
ing the highest figures since the be-
ginning of the European war, and
May selling at $1.30A. Previous high
point since the war began was hit
September 4, at $1.29k. July wheat
in Minneapolis sold Monday at S1.3O

were the highest Minneapolis futures
prices since 1898, the year of the
Letter corner.
Chicago was excited and strong
with upward rushes of half cent or
more from time to time. Chicago May
wheat sold at $1.34A, coming up from
$1.31 which was the closing price
Saturday.
All the markets closed near the
top, Minneapolis May at $1.30 So or
within 1Ac of high, and Chicago May
at S1.34h or only u down from high
Messages kept coming in, report
ing sales of wheat for export to Eu-
rope, the total quantity sold Monday
rising as each new report came in
from 100000 to 100000 bushels, to
100000 and to 100000 bushels.
There We're also large export sales
of corn and other coarse grains re-
poted and sharp advances in prices.
It was said that Europe had expected
to get the grain bought Monday from
Argentina, but being unable to get it
loaded there had to buy in the United
States.

Who Now Awaits Trial

That at least one Redwood County
man will not use a pencil in making
out checks hereafter, nor make them
out facetiously, is safe surmise after
learning Of the experience A. G.
Schuck of Lamberton had last week.
Mr.. Schuck has had in his employ
one Earl Scrafeld, also known as
"Pick Handle Jim" Being in need
OF funds recently Mr.. P. H. j. applied
to his employer for funds and Mr..
Schuck drew a check for "Nine Beans
payable to "Pick Handle Jim.'' The
check was written with pencil.
Later the check, with the "Nine
Beans" carefully erased and Forty
seven Dollars written in its stead, was
presented to Chas. Schroeck of Lam
berton for payment. Knowing both
parties and the business relation exist
ing between them, Mr. Schroeck cashec
the check.
When the check was returned te
the signer, Mr.. Schuck, the trouble
began. P. H.. j. had some days be.
fore cheat it" for parts unknown, but
was finally located in Wisconsin ane
brought from there last week BY
Sheriff Frank Hassenstab. The culpri
is now in the county Jail awaiting
the action of the grand jury at thu
next term of the district court.

Passes Worthless
Check; Must Give
Account to Judge
Henry Gieschen Brought Back From
Chicago by Sheriff Hassenstab;
Must Answer Grave Charge
Warrant Sworn Out by L. E. Meal
lister of Kahler House Who Cashed
Check Last Week
Believed to Be Man Wanted in Other
Places For Similar Fraudulent
Operations

Henry Gieschen, who passed a
worthless check at the Kahler House
recently, was arrested at a Chicago
hotel by Sheriff Frank Hassenstab
and brought back to Redwood Falls
Tuesday to answer to the charge of
obtaining money on false pretense.
Gieschen registered at the Kahler
several days ago, purporting to be a
salesman for the Holcomb Cigar Com
pany of Bingham, New York. After
staying at the hotel for several days
he presented a letter of credit and a
check for thirty dollars drawn on
the First National Bank at st. Paul.
Soon after the cashing Of the check
Mr.. Gieschen, in company with the
night clerk of the Kahler left for
Minneapolis. In Minneapolis Mr..
Gieschen gave the young man a let
ter of introduction to a firm with
which he claimed to have been pre-
viously connected. 1t was upon the
presentation of this letter to the Min
neapolis firm that it was learned that
Gieschen had been gully of misde-
meanor in the past, and that the firm
was searching for him in order To
make him answer for obtaining money
fraudulently on previous occasions
T. E. McAllister, proprietor of the
Kahler House, was informed Of the
condition Of affairs from Minneapolis
and at once instituted search.
In the meantime, Mr.. McAllister's
son had gone to Chicago, travelling
on the same train from Minneapolis
with Gieschen, whom he left at the
Hotel Victoria upon his return to
Madison, S. D., few days later
Getting into communication with his
son at Madison, Mr.. McAllister learned
of the whereabouts of the culprlt
and a warrant was issued for his
arrest.
Upon his return to Redwood Falls
Gieschen was committed to the coun-
ty jail to await his hearing Thurs
day morning. Judge Gray commit
ted him to Jail when it was found he
could not secure the $1,000 bail re-
quired.
Just what the case against Gieschen
may develop is the matter of consid-
cradle interest as it is known he has
worked this section of the country
pretty thoroughly under various
names From Minneapolis Mr.. Meal
lister learned that q man the descrip-
ton of whom Gieschen answers exact
ly, is wanted by detective agency
for series Of fraudulent acts. While
it is not yet proven that Gieschen is
the man, he is believed to be. He
is young man in the early twenties
apparently of German parentage and
Of rather pleasing. peLsonality:.'. =

to do. Look at Haiti. No, sir, these
anti-enlistment people do not realize
what they are doing. They do not
realize that an adequate army and
navy Is the surest protection against
war, and the stronger our armed
forces the less likelihood there is of
q surprise attack by an INSCRIPTIONS
enemy. The United States marine
corps (Which is neither army or
navy, has a scant ten thousand men
with which to hold the foe at bay in
the early stages of an invasion. These
ten thousand are ready to a man and
button, but instead of ten we should
be fifty thousand strong, to insure
against war and as means of protec-
ton against an unjust aggression.
Perhaps If New York was bombarded
by foreign feet the headquarters of
the anti-enlistment league would re-
move from 81 Quincy street, Brook
lyn, to-to the navy yard, maybe.
Stranger things than that have hap
pened."

SUCCESSFUL ARBON FARMER
AND METHODS HE USES

County Agent Kjosness returned
from a several days visit to the Ar
bon country Friday, highly pleased
with his trip. He met many of the
farmers of that locality and is assured
of their cooperation in whatever he
may undertake. One thing that
pleased him greatly was the willing.
ness he found among the better farm
ers to undertake demonstrations
under his direction. These demon.
stration plots will be of great value
he is certain, to the communities IN
which they are located
With the character of that locality
and the conditions which surround II
he was equally well pleased. AS an
evidence of what can be produced
there by adopting good methods he
referred to the record of Henry Shan
drew, one of the older settlers and
first class farmer. Mr.. Shawdrew's
farm is as clean as board, he stated.
and his summer fallow in ideal con-
dition. Mr.. Shan'rew formerly had
ideas of farming that were far diff
ferent from those he now uses. but a
term spent at the Utah Agricultural
college at Logan convinced him Of
the error of his former ways of doing
things.
He put the new ideas he gained in
to use by blowing IL inches deep,
to create reservoir to hold a larger
amount of moisture than shallow
blowing would retain. Each season
he sets his pillow at different depth
ito avoid pillow soles. This year he
plowed only four inches deep, and the
soil turned over as mellow as gar
den. leaving an ideal seed bed and
perfect mulch.
He has abandoned the use of a
disc. and advises against It's use ex-
cept on new land where there is sod.
The tools he employs to put and keep
his soil in perfect condition are all
simple and inexpensive, consisting of
a plow, harrow and a homemade
.weeder, which can also be used for
dragging. 1t is built like drag with
3xS timbers for side pieces, with cross
pieces set perpendicular when used
a. drag. These cross pieces are set
on an incline, and extend a little be-
low the side pieces so as to pillow into
the ground little, when he uses it
