WORKS IN A DRY ZONE
FINED 5000 BY JUDGE
From Tuesdays Daily.

William V. Geiser of Milwaukee,
representing liquor house of that
city, pleaded guilty before Judge w.
l.. Comstock of the district court last
evening to the charge of soliciting
sales of liquor in Watonwan county,
which has been voted dry. He was
sentenced to pay a fine of 5000 and
costs and to spend thirty days in the
Blue Earth county jail Arthur
Schaub was his attorney. Geiser was
brought here by Sheriff A. E. Lind
quist of Watonwan county.
Geiser is well-dressed man of a
business-like appearance. He stated
at the Jail today that his fine would
be paid by the house for which he
worked. He said he did not know
that he was entering dry territory at
the time he committed the offense,
but was simply obeying the orders of
the house that had sent him there.
He said he was going at his business
in his usual way, taking orders from
farmers and making his trips by
auto. He spoke of his wife and rela-
tives in Milwaukee.
The defendant was prosecuted by
County Attorney Albert Running
and Clerk of Court, X. S. Thompson,
was an attendant in court.

From Tuesdays JaHv.

From tuesdays OaiIv
Sunday, June II, was Children's day
at the churches and the little people
came in for all the attention. In the
morning at 1920 the Baptist Sunday
school had charge of the services.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers and the exercises were
very interesting, although we cannot
give the program 1t was enjoyed by
their parents and the many friends,
who gathered in their honor.
The Childrens day program at the
Congregational was given in the even
ing at p. m. The church had been
decorated by the flower committee of
which Miss Lenora Greiner was the
chairman, and was an evidence of
their good taste and artistic ability.
The program by the little ones is al
ways pleasing and they were all at
their best. The special musical fea-
lures were solos by different members
of the school, Bruce Ellis, son of S. S.
Ellis, surprising, his friends. These and
the chorus choir have been in charge
of Miss Ards Gilmore. All of the little
people, either in recitation or song
were alike credit to their parents
and teachers, which plainly shows
that Mapleton has no lack of material
for future entertainment. Much credit
is due to the untiring efforts of Sup
erintendent and Mrs. Argetsinger for
the success of the Sunday school and
program. A collection was taken for
, Sunday school work in Minnesota.
The following is the program in full:

WHY WILSON SHOULD BE
REELECTED

Woodrow Wilson should be re-
elected Because he has kept
this country out of war, when a
single mistake in a hundred IN
stances in the last year would
have plunged the United States
into war.
Because he, through Congress,
has provided for all the pre-
paredness the United States
needs to protect the country
from foreign invasion.
Because we have prosperity
under his Administration when
all the rest Of the world is prac-
tically bankrupt.
Because he has given to the
country a system of regional
banks which makes a financial
panic impossible.
Because he has forced Ger
many to abandon its submarine
policy upon passenger and
merchant ships in accordance
with the accepted principles of
international law.
Because the farming interest,
the back bone of our prosperity,
is receiving the highest returns
in the history of the nation for
everything raised on the farm.
Because he exposed and drove
out of Washington the corrupt
lobby which had for so many
years controlled legislation.
Because the manufactures in
this country are so prosperous
under the Democratic tariff law
that they cannot manufacture
enough goods to fill their. orders
at higher les for their goods
than ever received before.
Because he has established
such cordial relations with South
American and Central American
countries that the manufacturers
in this country are almost mon
opolizing their trade.
Because skilled and common
labor is receiving a higher wage
now than ever before.
Because he has provided a
merchant marine, which will
prevent our producers on farm
and in factory from being
robbed of foreign trade by ex-
tortionate tolls.
Because he is the first Ameri-
can today in the word, standing
first for America.
Because his defeat would dis
credit this Nation in Europe like
the proposed plan to stop Ameri-
cans from travelling abroad
would have discredited his
diplomacy.
Because the Republican party
offers no specific thing which
would be better for the country
than what Wilson has given us
or what he stands for.
Because in his foreign policy
ne has stood for the neutrality
of the United States, following
the precedents of Washington,
Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant.
Because when we have peace.
prosperity and preparedness it
would be a serious blunder to
change political parties in con-
troll at Washington.
