LOCAL SPORT DOPE
First n. 6. Football Game,


On Saturday of this week the local
high school eleven will journey TO
Benson for their first game of the sea-
sen. The team this year has not the
weight or the experience Of former
teams which have represented Will
mar on the football gridiron owing to
the graduation Of some and enlistment
Of others. However, this town is not
the only one in the district which has
suffered the loss Of some of it's best
players SO that the teams should stand
nearly the same chance accordingly.
OF last years team Lundquist,
Kleve, Peterson and Ronning remain
and they form the nucleus around
which the present team has been
built. Outside of the four just men,
toned the rest of the team is COM
posed Of younger and less experienced
players who have shown real ability
since the first of the season.
Up to the time of Archie Carlson's
departure for the State of Washington
the team practiced under his able
coaching and the plays to be used this
year are based ON a series used at the
University of Minnesota last year
which he was thoroly acquainted
with.
A great deal depends on this game
Saturday, not SO much from the point
OF games won, but because a win will
give the players confidence in them
selves and will help to arouse a little
interest in the game.

STRAW-$1o.oo PER TON.

Can you afford to burn straw that
will be worth $1,000 per ton, when
good timothy hay is worth $4,000?
That is question propounded to far
mers by the State Commission of Pro.
duction and Conservation. An appeal
Is made to drop the wasteful practice
Of burning up straw, urging farmers
to have 1t baled and shipped to other
sections of this state where there is
no straw, If 1t is not needed at home,
where it will be the means Of assist.
ing farmers who are facing a very SER
ious shortage in food, and the prob.
lem Of sacrificing their live stock on
account Of it.
The Commission is using great
deal Of publicity in this matter and
asking everybody to help, by getting
behind the farmers of the Northwest.
Take the subject home to yourselves
and give it the benefit Of your earnest
thought and consideration, for the
sake of your country's needs In the
war.-Minnesota Public Safety Com
mission.

Careless Comments
On War Subjected
To Investigation
Man PWported to Have Spoken
Slightly of Service Ex-
onerated BY U. S.

Ware your speech! Too much talk
ing these days, especially II 1t is COM
nent, pro or con, regarding America s
entry into the war, may end seriously.
After a thorough sitting Of the facts,
in which federal officials, the central
registration board and at least one
judge had hand, remarks, which
are declared to have been made when
several circuit court employees and an
employe Of the city and county in
dulged in a talk-fest" recently, have
been declared not detrimental and the
incident dropped, according to reports
given out today.
There was one among those who
did the talking who apparently took
offense at certain remarks made. and
he informed the central registration
board OF what had transpired. The
board took his verbal report and, after
looking IT over, laid it before federal
officials.
Federal officials say that, after a
careful investigation. the incident has
been dropped, largely through the be
lief that the statements were not ut
tered maliCiOusly. That they had a
Dacifist flavor, however, is not denied
According to those who conducted
the investigation, there was a discus
sion over the decision of a local or
ganization to offer its services to the
country If needed. One man is re-
ported to have made the statement
that the members Of this organization
were making a bluff at loyalty by
volunteering to CO." Another, in re-
ply to this, is alleged to have re-
marked that a man would "be a fool
to volunteer If he was not going"
Whereupon the first man is said to
have retorted: 1T looks like their
bluff has been called and they will
be made to CO."
From what could be learned today,
comment on the registration and Sc
lective draft was also injected into the
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-08-08

The ride taken by Miss Florence

Captain John Ludy on the Saturday

Those in the car were W. r. Me
Allep, Miss Pohlman, both OF whom
sat in the front seat. and Captain
Ludy and Miss Berg, who sat In the
back seat.
I'VE had called for Miss Berg once
before, earlier in the afternoon, but
she was not there, and in the mean
time, Capt. Ludy was taken out TO
Fort Skater to clean up and Miss
PohIman and went out to Waikiki on
an eTTand.
Later when we called for Miss Berg
by sounding the klaxon in FROM OF
her place, she appeared at the win
dow in a house gown, and later came
out ready for the ride.
9 I'VE started out King street, ana
after passing the Kamehameha
schools turned up Kalihi road. MISS
Pohlman and had been part way up
there before and she had expressed
the desire to 60 up further, so We de-
cided to see the place then.
at was after we had gone along
the road where 1t was very humpy
that / know Miss Berg complained
of feeling Ill. So we turned around
and inside Of about half an hour we
had returned to Engleside.
although Miss Berg had said that
she. was not we'll at the time she ar
rived at the Engleside she did not ap-
pear in q state OF collapse by an
means
That Capt. Ludy knew the reason
for which Miss Berg was discharged
from the hospital-that is, that sne
had been discharged because she was
said to be pregnant--but that ne pc
Heyed her when she told him that
she was not in that condition ana
would prove the charges wrong, was
learned from friends Of DR.. Ludy. Fol-
lowing her discharge, Miss Berg EVIL
IDENTIFY told Capt. Ludy the reason Su'
perintendent Roehl Of the hospital mao
given for discharging her, but that
the charge was false and that she
would prove It so. This Capt. Ludy Is
said TO have believed.
Investigation Of the circumstances
attending the death Of Miss Berg have
almost been completed and 1t merely
remains for the police. to set the date
or the inquest. A military inEestiga.
ton has also been going on and VIII
soon be completed also. -..
TO ascertain who performed the
criminal operation on Miss Berg and
'the responsibfIity for the child is the
