HEADS WILL BE SEVERED
Not From Their Bodies, But From
Salaries in Argentine.


Buenos Aires, November 25.-[By
Mail. Terrible lamentation is heard
in Argentine official circles today be-
cause the new government headed by
President Irigoyen intends January l.,
to stop the salaries of all national
employees whose services the presi-
dent does not consider absolutely
necessary.
The unofficial estimate is made that
about 5000 job-holders throughout
the country will be affected. The num-
Der is considerable considering that
population is only
7 100000 to 100000 but even the en-
ployees themselves know that great
numbers have done absolutely no
work and that practically nobody has
worked anywhere nearly up to his
maximum capacity.
AS an illustration of the manner in
which the members of the Irogoyen
regime have been speeding up" the
government departments, Minister of
Finance Salaberry suddenly dropped
into the custom house just after mid
night few days after he was ap-
pointed. Such thing was never
heard of before in the whole history
of South America.

FLOOD CONTROL MEETING
From Saturdays Daily.
Session Will Be Held at New Ulm
During Next Month.

New Ulm, December 23.-A meet
ing of the Tri-State Flood Control
association will be held in this city
on Wednesday, January TO- The
meeting is called for ten o'clock in
the morning, and will be attended by
many interested parties in the Min
nesota river valley as well as the
Red river valley. The date of the
meeting of the All Minnesota De-
velopment association, to be held in
ST. Paul has been changed from jan
uary and 5 to January Is and 10.
Prominent men, from Minnesota
and North and South Dakota, inter
ested in the project of protecting
thousands of acres of farm land in
the valleys of the Minnesota and Red
rivers from inundation, will be pres
ent at this meeting. The mayor of
Fargo will send invitations to every
mayor in the territory affected by
high water in the two rivers, as well
as notify the boards of county COM
missioners and extend an. invitation
to the chairmen of such boards and
other members as desire to be pres
ent.
Mayor l.. A. Fritsche of New Ulm
has for years been an ardent sup
porter of relief measures by the
state and government to lessen the
flood damage along the Minnesota
river. He attended the recent meet
at Fargo, and came home enthused
with the hope that at least something
tangible would be accomplished to
relieve the situation along both the
Minnesota and the Red rivers.
The meeting will be no spread
eagle affair, but rather those present
will discuss ways and means. Many
farmers along the two rivers will be
present and the meeting no doubt
will be the most interesting one yet
held.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
New Ulm, December %. = The
quick -wittedness of M. J. Bieber in
the Metzinger clothing store, Tuesday
evening, caused clever individual to
be landed by the night policemen and
lodged in the county Jail.
Between seven and eight o'clock a
stranger entered the Metzinger store
and purchased a suit of clothes and
other articles, amounting to $26.25
and offered payment with check of
$50 drawn on the State Bank of Glib
bon and signed by Ed. Schultz. The
check was taken and the change Of
1915 given to him. He stated he
would return in about an hour for
the purchases. During the time he
was in the store he said his father
was banker at Elgin, ILL.,, and also
that he had a brother, a banker, at
st. James, this state. Too many
bankers aroused the suspicion of Mr..
Bieber, and when Schultz left the
store, he told Waldemar Jahnke to
follow him. While the fellow was at
tending moving picture show Mr..
Bieber called up the cashier of the
State Bank of Gibbon and ascertained
that Schultz" had no funds in that
bank The night policemen were no
titled to take Schultz" into custody,
which they did at the Ruby. He was
placed in the county Jail.
Other checks drawn on the State
Bank of Gibbon were found on his
person, and dated at WatertOwn, S.
D. Madison Redwood Falls and St
Paul, Mimi He registered at the Da-
kota House and when searched had
