Forger Works Litchfield

Four Litchfeld merchants are
mourning because they cashed checks
for a smooth stranger. He appeared
with nice story about his mother
having bought articles and he wanted
some more lust like it" He made
the selections and then rendered bogus
checks, receiving the balance in cash.
At one place he bought three safety
razors at one dollar each and received
$23. At another place he bought furs
valued at $40. He received the furs
and $40. One of the hardware mer-
chants grew suspicious when the fell
low bought teakettle "like the one
mother bought" and refused to honor
the check. All the bogus checks were
drawn on Grove City Bank and
signed "John Nelson"
Before going to Litchfield the fellow
appeared at the Grove City bank and
had long talk with Banker Miller.
While in the bank he. procured the
check blanks. His afternoons work at
Litchfeld Melted him about $85.

Tells About Postal Savings

Foreign born residents of Morris
and vicinity who have the saving
habit are sought by the postal depart
ment. A supply of leaflets in Swe-
dish, Norwegian, Danish. and. Ger
man, descriptive of postal savings
methods and advantages have been re-
ceived at the Morris postofice and are
being distributed from the stamp
window.
Since the postal savings department
was opened in Norris very slow pro-
gress has been made. At various
points in the northwest deposits have
reached a high point but the average
office has been doomed to disappoint-
ment. Cities where a large foreign
born population exists have led off in
point of deposits.

MAIL CARRIER ILL;
WIFE MAKES TRIPS
Daughter of Well-to-do Farmer
Performs Many. Duties I'm
der Trying Conditions

A human interest story quite out of
the ordinary comes from the township
of Lake Lillian, south of Willmar,
where a young woman is demonstrate
ing what her sex can do Under adverse
circumstances. Her husband is a
mail carrier who has been sick for
some time. The woman carries the
mail every day over distance of
thirty miles. Besides this work she
cares for the horses, does the farm
chores, attends to her household
duties, acts. as family nurse, enter
tains friends and cares for her three
children, the youngest of which is
still in arms. The woman is Mrs.
Harry Lundstrom, twenty-eight years
of age, small of figure and delicate
frame but possessing will power and
endurance that is gigantic in its pro-
portions.
Mr.. Lundstrom operates farm of
100 acres and has carried the mails
for several years. Last fall he con-
tracted a violent cold and the doctors
ordered him to bed. "I'll carry the
mail for him" said Mrs. Lundstrom
and she has done so every day, never
missing a trip all through the bitter
cold which followed. Neighbors have
volunteered as substitutes but the
woman declines all offers, accepting
only assistance from those who are
willing to remain with the children.
Mrs. Lundstrom makes her trips on a
cart drawn by pony over prairie
roads where few groves offer shelter
from the biting winds.
Mrs Lundstrom is the daughter of
H. A. Lobnitz, a we'll to-do Danish
farmer in Lake Lillian. She was
reared in a family where all the
comforts of a home are abundantly
provided but where industry is
taught as a cardinal virtue. She
has a comfortable little home of her
own known everywhere in the neigh
borhood for its hospitality. Many a
robust man driven to desperation
would shrink from her present ardu-
Gus task but she finds a keen de-
light in managing things that woulc
stagger most anyone.

The eclipse will cover about one

The heavy snow storm which came
on New Years day dampened the
ardor of the ice boat owners in Morris
and very likely put an end to ice
sports here for the season. Some
decidedly fast boats we're put on the
lake before the holidays, a hockey
team was organized and skaters held
nightly carnival. When the first
snow fall came talk was started about
clearing the ice but so far nothing has
been done. Several of the young men
have plan to flood the ice from the
city hydrant near the lake where they
think skating rink can be main
tanned for the rest of the season. The
idea finds favor among residents in
the lake vicinity who find more or less
complaints every winter because of
the too infrequent tapping of the
water mains.

HIGH FIGURES IN
AUDITORS REPORT
Cost of State Government was
$50 More than Income for
Past Year Says Preus

The annual report of the state
auditor was issued last week and
shows that it cost $85 more than the
state received to run the government.
The cost was $22, 6OO,45
The report shows that the amount
paid in by the counties and by the
railroads in gross earnings taxes make
the two largest sources of revenue.
The share of taxes paid in the counties
was Sc, 85O,21O, and from the rail-
roads it obtained 1888, 1868. The
rest of the money which kept up the
public school aid, built roads, paid
salaries and did all the other things
a state has to do came from special
taxes, fees for service of state Off
Gals, and from royalties on school
and ore lands.
The state sold 70, 485 acres of land
last year for $3.50, 911, averaging ST
per acre. The largest land sales were
in Aitkin county and the smallest
sales were in Wabasha county, one of
the oldest counties in the state, where
only forty acres were put on the
block.

Bremen Scheduled to Arrive in Am

Celebration in Germany
By CARL ACKERMAN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. 24.-The German
merchant submarine Deutschland
eluded eight British warships and
many American fishing schooners off
the Virginia capes in their journey
homeward from America. Captain Koe-
mig said that the Allies had hired
the schooners to spread their fishing
nets in an endeavor to locate the sub
marine, but their efforts were of no
avail.
Submerged Short Distance
Captain Koenig declared that the
Allies had observed American neu-
trality and had remained outside the
three-mile limit. The Deutschland
was submerged for 110 miles during
it's 42OO-mile voyage. The weather
was splendid except that it was foggy
and stormy near the English coast.
KOenig a Hero
A thick mist delayed the arrival
of the submarine several days. Bre-
men is joyous over the safe arrival
of the undersea craft. In honor of
the return of the vessel the streets
were decorated and bells were rung.
There were affecting scenes when rel
atives met the sailors as they came
off the Deutschland.
Was Slightly Damaged
THE HAGUE, Aug. 24.-Bremen dis
patches said that the Deutschland had
been slightly damaged on its return
voyage. Members of the crew stated
that the vessel followed the same
homeward route as they did outward
boul4d In Bremen the crowds were
lionizing Captain Koenig as national
hero. Dispatches declared that the
submarine Bremen had started for
America a few days ago after its own
ers positively knew that the Deutsch-
land had eluded the patrol.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 24.-Alfred
Lohman, director of the Ocean trans
portation company, today told Bremen

chantmen submarine Bremen was
