Fire Dancers,

Most everyone who has had any
dealings with machinery knows about
the liability of oily rags and waste
that have been used for cleaning pur-
poses to ignite from spontaneous COM
bustion; but few are aware that saw
dust, when soaked with oil drippings,
will act in the same way. Sawdust is
sometimes seen scattered over garage
floors, but this practice should be
prohibited. Sand is the safest for alb
soTbing drippings.

who was a pioneer of the church, The
trustees had a plan pending to build

church saw fit, In view of the appar-
emit need of the church, to apply the
whole amount of the bequest to the
erection of a new building on the site
where the old parsonage has stood for
about 40 years It is estimated that

ish estate are arranged the church

portion has already been received and
will be applied to the cost of erecting
the new building.
The new parsonage is to be full

spects. The building committee have

quate provision for entertaining.

TWO AUTO THIEVES
landed IN PRISON
OPERATE IN THIS VICINITY AND
ARE GRABBED ON INFORMA-
TON FROM THIS CITY
Arrested In Minneapolis
BROUGHT ONE CAR HERE AND
SOLD 1T TO A ROUND
PRAIRIE FARMER

Two of a band of five automobile
thieves wanted by the police of Chi
cago are now in Jail in the Windy
City because of the vigilance of Sank
Centre police and citizens and on in
formation furnished Twin City and
Chicago authorities from this city.
Early in July two young men arriv-
ed here driving Buick 6 car. They
gave their names as Hall and Harris.
A few days later they disposed of the
Buick to a Round Prairie farmer in
exchange for an old E. M. F. and $500
of which the farmer paid SO and
promised to pay the remainder at the
offices of the Investors Security as
ISOLATION at later date.
The young men told Jack Smith of
the Investors association of the deal.
Smith became suspicious and drove
out to Round Prairie to see the farm
er. Convinced all was not right, he
sent for his brother, who is an opera
tive for st. Paul auto insurance
company. The brother arrived and
identified the car as one stolen from
Kansas City on which his company
had paid insurance.
A trap was set for the two young
men but they disappeared. The in
surance agent returned the farmer his
old E. M. F. and $40 and took possess
sion of the Buick, taking it to Mime
apolis.
A few days later the two young men
returned but no demand was made
for their arrest. About the same time
suspicious Ford and a third man
put in an appearance. Investigation
showed the Ford to be a stolen ma
chine and it was seized and taken to
Minneapolis. The original two young
men again disappeared. The third
that he was brought here from Mon
,tana to drive the Ford car back to
that state. He was released. The other
two men again returned but no COM
plant was lodged against them.
Kept under strict surveillance, the
man who called himself Hall was seen
to tear letter to pieces and throw it
in the waste basket at Fourth and
Main streets. The torn bits were re-
covered and turned over to Chief
Fish who patched together the parts
and gained information that the let
ter was from the mans wife in Chi
cago and was of such a nature as to
cause suspicion. The letter and other
information was turned over to the
Chicago police and word came back
Immediately that the men were two
of the five wanted by the Chicago po-
lice for auto thefts. Both were out
on $4,000 bail, awaiting trial. The
man known as Hall was known there
as A. Isheim.
Before Fish could round up the men
they had again disappeared. Next
came word they had been arrested in
Minneapolis in the act of trying to
steal car, being caught by the own
er, who held the men at the point of a
pistol until police arrived. Chief Mar
tinson came here last Thursday to
get all possible information and on his
return turned the men over to the
Chicago authorities. All connected
with the case believe the two young
men are only tools of higherupsA ard
are engaged in running stolen cars off
into the country, disposing of them.
Chicago has averaged Is stolen cars
a week this summer.

Should Be Fair To Elnigrants

Los Angeles, Calm an address
before the convention of California
Social Agencies, Secretary Scharren-
berg of the state federation of labor
told the delegates that the trade
union movement was the most potent
factor in the Americanizing of immi-
grants and that these aliens need
more than patriotic talks.
"Herded into the mills and mines,
working under conditions that weaken
the body and destroy the mind, liv-
ing in slums, shacks and bunkhouses,
the immigrants last condition is
worse than his first" said the union
ist.
Because he is disappointed in his
hopes and ambitions the immigrant
turns from the spirit of Americanism
and surrenders to the spirit born of
the actual conditions of his life, a
spirit of revolt against society.
ITO meet this danger, numerous
expedients have been devised. These
methods have for their object the dis
semination of patriotic sentiment by
appeal to national history and tradi-
ton, teaching politics and civics and
by various exercises calculated to in
spire reverence for the flag and to
strengthen devotion to the things of

Compensation Law Supported

Columbus, Ohio-Section p of the
Ohio workmen's compensation law
permits an employer to carry his own
compensation insurance on proof that
he possesses sufficient financial re-
sources to protect employees. Private
insurance companies are attacking
this feature of the law, together with
other provisions of the enactment.
The question is now being consid-
cred by the state supreme court, and
attorneys for the state federation of
'abor are defending the law. Daniel
]. Ryan, general counsel for the Ohio
Manufacturers Association, appear
ing before the court as "a friend of
the court" called attention to what is
commonly known as the general
welfare" amendment to the state con-
stitution, which was adopted at the
same time the people voted in favor
of the workmen's compensation
amendment.
The general welfare" amendment
empowers the legislatures to provide
for the comfort, health, safety and
general welfare of all employees" and
continues this amendment, "no other
provision of the constitution shall i'm
pair or limit this power"
Attorney Ryan told the court that
independent of the amendment to the
constitution which specifically author
;und cnrnneneatinn the workrn en,s

which that emblem is the symbol.
"The patriotic ADDRESS, the flag
raising exercises the welfare work
however we'll meant and however
successful their appeal to the emo
tions, leave untouched the real need
of the case. namely, the need to real
ize in practical ways the promised
opportunity for liberty and full de-
velopment upon the highest plane of
social justice and equality.
"The labor union is the only move
ment of fundamental reform in the
conditionsof labor, the only move
ment that makes characterization
by making for the establishment in
the daily lives of the people of that
condition which we regard as the
essence Of Americanism, the opportu-
nifty for full social justice.
"What hollow mockery is all talk
of Americanization unless the 'Ameri-
caniders' see to it that sufficient
leisure is provided to enable the i'm
migrant to take advantage of the
educational opportunities offered. In
this particular field of endeavor-
shortening the workday-the labor
union has been the pioneer and has
maintained the leadership right up to
date"

compensation law, as passed by the
legislature, is still valid under the
general welfare" constitutional
amendment While indicating his
disapproval of the latter amendment
because of its sweeping nature, he
said:
This section is extremely radical
and far-reaching, but it is in the con-
stitution and canot be ignored. Its
purpose is to give the legislature
power to pass humane laws in con-
formity with modern industrial de-
velopment, and under it any law hav-
ing for its object the general well
fare of all employees is valid. provid-
ing it is not against the federal con-
stitution."
In answer to Sie ciarm tflat section
22 is not uniform in its operation, the
attorney said:
Two men have committed bail
able offense; one is ableito give bond.
the other is not; one goes free until
his trial, the other is committed to
jail. This is not a discrimination
and yet it requires financial ability to
give bond to secure libetry. Two
men are elected to office; one can give
the bond, the other cannot; the one
who gives the bond is inducted into
office, the other, who cannot, forfeits
