Warned to be on Guard

A smooth swindler is working III
Cass county. and local banks here
have been warned to be on the look
out for him and to warn the
farmers. The fellow pretends t.,
be taking orders for stock foods
and other articles used by the
farmers, and induces the farmer
to sign a receipt for the order Civ
en-. This receipt proves to note
which the swindler turns in at the
local banks at discount for cash.
He has victimized several farmers
in Cass county who will be obliged
to pay dearly for their willingness
to sign the receipt" for the goods
ordered.
That he may choose Richland
county as his next field of labor is
thought quite possible, and both
farmers and bankers should be on
the lookout for him.

Pathetic Accident

Myrtle. the little daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Bohn, was
drowned in creek of water at the
farm home in Elma las. Friday
shortly before noon. The crocl,
was only fifteen gallon one and
had about a pail of water in the
bottom. The little girl. only
twenty-one months old. was playing
in the yard and evidently reached
over the edge of the crock and lost
her balance. 1t is not thought
she was in the water more than
five minutes. but all efforts to re-
vive her were futile.
The funeral was held Sunday,
services being conducted by Rev.
Klausler at the Lutheran church.
and hundreds of friends assembled
to show their silent but heartfelt
sympathy for the stricken family.

plains itself:

Dickinson, N. d.
Dear Sir:
Yours of the second received
Attorney General Gregory gave all
the people of the United States
good advice when he said, "Obey
the law and keep your mouth
shut" 1 am satisfied that there is
a proganda in which many Ger
mans are concerned to hamper and
interfere with the activities of the
Government in this war.
Much has come to me to prove
this fact. 1t is unfortunate that
conditions exists. | trust you,
as good loyal ciizen, will publish
only such news in your paper as
appeals to the patriotism of the
country generally.
Some complaints have been made
to me about your publications in
the German language. You are in
il position to do much harm to the
country that you are in. You
likewise can do great good for this
country in that community. [
plead with you. therefore. to let
your paper speak for the Govern
ment under which you live, rather
than the one across the sea.
think | can assure you if yon
publish strong editorials in your
paper upholding this government,
no one will think Of doing YOU any
acts of violence.
1t is your duty to stand by the
government, and of all true men
and women, 7 think if you counsel
with your German friends and adj
wise them of the blessings that
they have received under this gov
ernment, their ability to acquire
land, to take part in it. to educate
their children and enjoy, as they
do, religious and political free
dom-if you do your full duty in
the premises-I am sure no harm
can come to you.
[ sympathize with you, but the
government must be upheld. 1t
will be upheld ,and the sooner all
people come to that conclusion. the
quicker the great war will be over;
but if designing men believe that
they can secreteIy instill hatred in
the minds Of foreigners against this
government, they may see and wit
ness scenes which oaght not to
come to the people of this g"eat
Republic.
You are at liberty to publish this
letter if you desire-in one column
i'm English, and in another column
in the German language. | seel
satisfied that il you do. 40 QUE will
attempt an overt act against you,
your life or property.

Viewing tho Situation

Members of the I. w. w. organ.
ization are appearing on the scene
to view working conditions in this
section of the country. We say
view because that is what it has
amounted to so far. Very few of
them have volunteered their ser.
vices in the harvest fields. The
majority of them are of the short.
winded kind, and when in posses
sion of couple of dollars are en-
tirely happy. The majority of the
transients appear to be in coil
tented state of mind, trying to
"get by with as little exertion as
possible.
