AUTOMOBILE OWNER QUITE
ABSENT MINDED; CAR SAFE

College professors have the almost
universal reputation Of being absent
minded. 1t is doubtful, however, if
there is a professor anywhere that has
anything on Hugo o. Schleuder. Last
Sunday morning Mr.. Schleuder drove
his car from his home to the post Office,
stopped for his mail and then walked to
his store two blocks away, leaving his
car in front of the government building.
An hour or so later he looked out of the
front window of his place Of business and
exclaimed:
tssWhat has become of my car? left
it right in front of the store and now
some one has driven it away"
Then he started to call the police.
1t was suggested that he had forgotten
the vehicle and left it in front of the post
office. Investigation proved this theory
to be fact, and Mr.. Schleuder breathed
easier, when he found that he wouldn t
have to advertise for an auto thief.

munity leaders. will be held at the
Agricultural Department of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, Thursday and Friday

q will deliver at least two addresses. The
committee in charge of the conference is
bringing President Butterfeld to Mime

BAKERS MUST REFUSE TO
TAKE BACK STALE BREAD
Wholesalers and Minnesota Safety
Commission Hold Conference.

Wd. Eibner was called to St. Paul
Thursday for a conference, with other
wholesale bakers of the state, with the
Minnesota Public Safety Commission
The bakers signed pledges to discontinue
the practice of taking unsold bread from
retailers, as mark of their willingness
to cooperate with the government in
the conservation of food during the war.
Mr.. Eibner says this practice has been
as pronounced in the country towns as
in the larger cities.
Master Bakers Cooperate.
Nearly fifty wholesale bakers attended
the meeting and affixed their names to
the pledges which went into effect
yesterday, July 10.
J. Burns of Omaha, member of the
War Emergency council Of the baking
industry, addressed the meeting and
explained the vast saving which would
result from such action. -Four per cent
of the entire bread supply is returned
daily. Whle II is not total loss, he
said, any waste whatsoever is not justi-
fled.
The government, Mr.. Burns said, does
not wish to Prussianize this country, but
some action had to be taken looking
toward conservation. For this reason
leading bakers of the country were
called to Washington and asked to give
their views. The outcome was the plan
to do away with the return of the stale
bread sold to retailers.
Judge J. r. MCGEE, member Of the
safety commission, who also addressed
the meeting, prophesied radical changes
in the laws governing the production and
distribution of foodstuffs unless they
were handled in proper manner.

IN ANNUAL CONVENTION In j
MILL CITY
MAYOR VAN LEAR WELCOMES
AND ROAsTs MEMBERS OF
PRESS

Monday morning at the West Hotel IN
Minneapolis, the thirty-second annual
convention of the National Editorial
Association was opened by an invocation,
spoken by ''Father" Herbert, founder
of the association. Mr.. Herbert is
white-haired and white-bearded, but is
stout and sturdy and looks as tho he
might we'll live to see the semi centennial
of the association. -
The invocation was followed by adj
dresses of welcome spoken by L. F.
Blyler of the Civic and Commerce Asso-
citation of Minneapolis, Gov. J. A. A.
Burnquist, Mayor Van Lear of Mime
apolis and Fred Hadley of Winnebago,
President of the Minnesota Editorial
Association.
Highway to Protect Nation.
Mr.. Blyler informed the visiting
editors of the many wonders and ad-
vantages of the North Star State and
commenting on our position in the center
of the continent mentioned the Jefferson
Highway between Winnipeg and New
s Orleans, saying that had this highway
connected the North and the South in
1860 there would have been no civil war.
His next remark was that the probable
reason for the civil war was that the
nation might be saved in order that today
the United States might stand as one
great united country to assist the Allies
now. This was the only statement made
by the gentleman which was noteworthy
of mention, Governor Burnquist has
a stage presence and voice which made
his welcome pleasing even tho stereo-
typed. ..55.5.s
Nan Lear Flags Editors.
The greeting Of Mayor Van Lear was
different in character He was amusing,
offered the editors wide open town to
enjoy themselves in, threw in several
appraising pats on the back for himself
as Socialist mayor of big city, and
then proceeded to fay the subsidized
press of the country, charging them with
exaggeration and distortion of news on
the one hand and suppression of facts
ION the other. Nor did he sweeten the
dose any by telling the editors it was
the "venal city press alone but left each
editor to wear the cap if it fitted.
Minneapolis Women Sing
There was some excellent music by a
trio of Minneapolis ladies and the
President of the Association delivered
his annual address, dealing with questions
of interest purely to the trade.
The afternoon was given over to
parties to Minnehaha Falls, Fort Smell
ling, Lake Harriet and the University
Farm. An auto tour of the city was
on the program for Tuesday following a
number of talks on trade questions.
Pleasure Trips Coming.
Wednesday and Thursday the meetings
will continue, but Friday and Saturday
will be given to river trips and visit to
Saltwater The trip to the Canadian
Northwest has been abandoned because.
railroads would not furnish train on
any conditions.
The number in attendance at the con-
ventions is relatively small as war con-
ditions have evidently affected the
finances of many of the editors of the
country.

fallen therein. Mr.. Jorgensen had al
ready taken one chick out, and it is
thought that in stretching his hand out

the time of the accident to come to his
relief.
Born in Norway.
Mr.. Jorgensen was born January 26,
1889, at Dovre, Gulbrandsdalen Norway.
As boy he attended the school of his

county, this state, and in the fall of the
same year he settled in Linden. During
the next two years he taught parochial
schools in Linden and Lake Hanska,
going from house to house as was then
the custom.
In 1869, he was married to MART
Stenbakken and to them seven children
were born as follows: George, Hans,
Carl, Magnus, Olav, Theodore julius,
Clara Nina and Nina Marie. OF these
Hans and Julius live at home with their
father. Mrs. Jorgensen died in the
summer of 1902.
Mr.. Jorgensen first bought 80 acres
in Lake Hanska and three years later, in
1876, he sold this piece to A. E. Hanson
and bought 80 acres in section 16 and
12O acres in section 81, which constitutes
his present estate in Linden. He has

Mr.. Jorgensen served ten years as
.u6pUCy duulLOI VI D1OWua Guilty., 1Our
years under L. B. Krook, when he was
auditor, and six years under L. G. Vogel.
During the Spanish-American war Mr..
Jorgensen was acting auditor.
The state road running east from
Hanska thru Linden was the second
state road established in this county.
The establishment of this road was due
to Mr.. Jorgensen's influence while
member of the county board.
Mr.. Jorgensen has been member of
Nora church since 1881 and during the
past thirteen years has served as chair
man of the congregation.
The funeral was held from the Lutheran

HUSBAND HELD FOR
ATTEMPTED MURDER
EDEN TOWNSHIP FARMER IS
ACCUSED OF THREATENING
WlFE's LIFE
ANTON sCHREINER MUST AN
sWER TO SERIOUS CHARGE
IN COURT

Anton Schreiner, farmer of Eden
township, living nine miles north of
Sleepy Eye, was arraigned before Justice
Henningsen Friday, accused of threaten
ing to kill his wife, Margaret Schreiner.
He was held to the grand jury under
$4,000 bail. In default of the necessary
bonds Schreiner is in the county Jail.
Wife Tells Story
When arraigned. Mrs. Schreiner,
questioned by County Attorney Adolph
Frederickson, said she was IS years old
and was married to Schreiner eighteen
or nineteen years ago, since which time
they had resided on the farm which they
now occupy. She said that on the morn
ing OF July 8, while at the well in the yard
near the family home she glanced toward
the granary, some eighty feet away, her
husband stood in the doorway of that
building pointing a gun at her, and
threatened to kill her. The woman
declared that her husband had made
threats against her life on number of
occasions, but this was the first time he
had ever actually pointed gun at her.
When she saw the threatening and
murderous attitude of her husband she
ran to neighbours house, where she
remained for a short time and then went
to Sleepy Eye, where she communicated
with the county attorney. Mrs. Schrei-
ner said her husband was hard drinker.
that he went to Sleepy Eye frequently,
coming home intoxicated and often
bringing liquor with him. Cross examined
by Attorney A. W. Mueller, Mrs.
bbschreiner kept to her former. Statements.
Joseph Schreiner, the 17-year-old son
OF the couple, verified the statements of
his mother.
Husband Denies Charge
Schreiner denied that he had any in
tention OF shooting his wife, claiming
that he found the gun in the granary to
be quite dirty, and decided to clean it
out. After doing so he took it to the
door to look thru the barrel, and was in
the act OF doing SO when his wife thought
he was trying to kill her. He claimed
that he had never made any threat
whatever to kill his wife.
Attorney Mueller told the court that
Schreiner had some time previously deed
ed his property to his wife, since which
time there had been an attempt on the
part OF the wife and an older son of the
woman, and step-son of Schreiner, to
get rid of the husband. He claimed the
present action was "frame-up'' to rail-
road the head of the house to prison.
Justice Henningsen decided there was
evidence sufficient to hold Schreiner to
the higher court and acted accordingly.
