Sleepy Eye Mill
In Trouble Again
Receiver to Be Applied for in
Hennepin County District
Court
Selling of Flour on Rising
Wheat Market Said to
Be Cause

Selling something like 100000
barrels of flour on a rising wheat
market is said to have brought
financial difficulties to the Sleepy
Eye Milling company, with head
offices at Minneapolis. 1t was
reported from Sleepy Eye last
week that the appointment of a
receiver would be applied fer in
the Hennepin county courts in
order to bring about a settle
ment and reorganization of the
milling company.
The mill at Sleepy Eye was
shut down last Saturday and all
the employees, with the excep-
ton of the office force, laid off,
with notice that their services
would not be required for some
time to come. The mill is still
buying wheat and selling -four
and probably will continue to do
so, even should a receiver be ap-
pointed.
Wild rumors were circulated
about the financial straits of the
Sleepy Eye concern all last week,
but it seemed that the company
would be able to tide over their
difficulties once more. It was
stated that great many farm
ers had invested heavily in mill
ing company stock, but this has
been proven untrue, the story
no doubt originating in the fact
that numerous Sleepy Eye
farmers have their wheat stored
at the mill elevator and will be
unable to realize it until the af-
fairs of the company have been
more thoroughly gone into.
A. G.. Won Hagen and w. A.
Anderson, both of Minneapolis,
are at the head of the milling
company, the Sleepy Eye man.
ager being A. w. Spehr.
The milling company has been
in trouble before, but several
years ago the present company
was formed and it was thought
that the business had then been
placed upon a firm basis. To the
unexpected advance in the price
Of wheat may be laid the pres
ent difficulty, rather than to poor
management.--New Ulm Review.

Colonial
Ball February II
Company L Club Arranging for
for Finest Ball 1t Has Ever
Given
THORBURNS MAKE MUSIC
Members of G.. A. r. to Lead
Grand March; Every One to
Come in Costume

At a meeting of Company L
Club Thursday evening the MEM
bers decided to arrange for a
Military and Colonial ball on the
night of February II. 1t is
planned to make it the biggest
and most enjoyable event of it's
kind ever attempted in Redwood

pointed to look after the neces-
sary details and to see to it that
nothing is lacking to make the
event one long to be remem-
bered. It is planned to make it
a big social gathering of the en-
tire community and the old as
we'll as the young are cordially
invited to enjoy the evening.
The hall will be artistically
and appropriately decorated to
suit the occasion, there will be
plenty of good things for lunch
con and enough of the good, cid
fashioned dances so that all will
feel at home. The Thorburn
orchestra of Marshall has been
engaged to furnish music.
The old soldiers and their
wives will be invited to lead the
grand march. In carrying out
this plan it is suggested that
people come to the dance earlier
than usual so that the grand
march may take place early in
| the evening.
Arrangements will be made if
possible to have a large number
of costumes here for rental. If
this is done announcement will
be made later. AS far as POS
sible, every one should plan to
dress in colonial costume.

More Than $4,000
Auto Licenses Sold
Card Index of Sec. Schmahl
Shows Wonderful Increase in
Auto Business
REDWOOD COUNTY LEADS
Only Four Countries Have More
Cars Than Home County;
Redwood Most per Capita

Having within her lines near
ly 100000 automobiles, more
than $500 motorcycles, nearly
500 automobile dealers, six au-
tomobile factories and nearly
1000 professional chauff ars,
Minnesota may be regarded as
taking an active part in the
gasoline age. The number of
cars is not definitely known, but
there are more than $4,000 Ii
censes outstanding and if the
Ala dealers average five cars
each the state soon will boast
Of having passed the mark of
100000.
More than $4,000 cars were
added to the list in 1915 and
while predictions of any kind are
something like bommerangs in
their action almost everyone
familiar with the automobile
movement feels safe in predict
ing from 10000 to 100000 ma
chimes will be placed on the high
ways Of the state in the year
1916.
The last year was notable to
the automobile trade through
revision of the automobile code
Of 26 sections and the compile
ton Of a card index system by
julius A. Schmahl, secretary of
state.
Four months was used by a
large force of clerks to complete
the index. In response to num-
erous demand from all parts of
the state the cars were enum-
Grated by cities and counties.
The total when the census was
made was $4,000.
Redwood Leads
In proportion to the popula-
ton, Redwood county has the
largest number Of automobiles,
the total being 1,542, leaving
such large counties as Brown,
Faribault, Goodhue, Ottertail
and many others with a larger
population. Lyon and Renville
counties follow close second
and third, where the proportion
ate population is considered. 289
Of Redwood County's cars are
registered from Redwood Falls.

the poet Burns, whose one hun
dred fifty-seventh birth anniver-

The program starts with the
dinner at the Armory, which
will be served promptly at noon.
This dinner will be prepared and
served under the leadership of
The Gallea Brothers of the
Home Restaurant and an excel
lent bill-of- fare is assured. The
Scotch national dish, the Hag-
gis, will form a part of the meal
and will be born to the table by
the two official haggis-bearers,
DR.. J. w. Inglis and Bert Wig,
gin, while Burns Ode to the

STATE LAND BUSINESS HELD UP WHILE POLITICIANS PRATE IN
 EFFICIENCY OF ADMINISTRATION

Hundreds and hundreds of applica- tions to purchase state lands are lying buried under hundreds of other accumulated applications for the ap- praisement of land because of the in ability of the state land department 10 hold a meeting and pass on the applications. The reason the depart ment cannot hold a meeting is that at least three of the five members are out telling the dear people of Arizona what an efficient government they have, and urging ilem to save the state by re-electing the demo- cratic officeholders November I.
 People who have applications pend ing before the state land department say il is over four months since there has been meeting. and while several half hearted attempts have been made to get the memoers of the board to- gether, they have been fruitless.
 Meanwhile scores of applications are bling up at the state land de- pertinent, and being chucked into piegon holes. or filed away. until Governor Hunt and Secretary of State Osborn. and Wiley Jones. attorney general can take a little time from their own personal campaigns and devote it to their official duties State Treasurer Nit Simms, and State Auditor Callaghan. the other two members have not gone away campaigning, but they have been un-
