gregation and among the Swedish
people generally, who will deeply re-
gret her death. She leaves to mourn
her loss her widower and son by a
previous marriage, number of rela-
| tives in Sweden and several grand
children.

Requested Her Pupils To Sing
'Die Wacht Am Rheim"
BOARD TOOK THE ACTION
Village of WaterviIIe Is the
Scene of Miss Davies
Troubles
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
st. Paul, November 12.-Dismissed
as principal OF the WateIviile public
schools for asking the pupils to sing
the German national anthem, Miss
Generva Davies, st. Paul, today asked
a hearing before the State Public
Safety commission, that she may es-
cape the name of having been disloyal.
Miss Davies was in charge of the
opening exercises at the school, and is
said to have asked the pupils to sing
''Die Wacht am Rhein' y,
Pupils and patrons of the school OBJ
jected, with the rsult that the prin
cipal was dismissed Wednesday, de-
spite her statement that she had no
intent to be unpatriot1c or to encour-
age disloyalty.
Miss Davies is graduate of Ham
line university and took post gradu-
ate course at the University of Min
neSOta.
Statement BY Teacher.
Miss Davies has given out the fol-
lowing statement:
"We sang The Watch on the
Rhine" she said, latter we had
sung The Star Spangled Banner be-
cause the children are studying the
German language and nothing had
ever been said about barring the
song from the school exercises. The
children acquiesced and not the re-
motest thought of disloyalty was in
any ones mind.
These were my words to the chill
dren," she said
"'Since we have expressed our pat
riotism we'll sing our enemy's song,
for however much we hate them and
detest their methods let us remem-
Der that the common people of Ger
any love their counry.'"
Claim That GIotfeIter Insisted.
No objections were made, she de-
clared, until several days later when
she was summoned before the board
and dismissed. Members. told her, in
dismissing her, that they did not
want to do so, but that C. w. Glot-
felter, one of the leading citizens of
the town and regent of the UNIVERSE
ty of Minnesota, insisted that she be
let out without a hearing.
He feared, he said, that disrepute
equal to- that which came to New
Ulm would fall on the town. He also
made it emphatic, she alleges, that
if they did not dismiss her without
a hearing that the Minnesota Public
Safety commission would do so with
no hearing whatever

APPLES IN THE BOX CARS
There Is Shortage of Others and
Hence Fruit Freezes In
Transit
From Mondays Daily.

FROM Mondays Daily.
Serious shortage of cars in the
west is making the moving east OF
the apple crop difficult matter, and
but few cars of apples are coming
in All apples shipped at this season
should be in refrigerator cars, but
the local commission houses report
that many apples are being shipped
in ordinary box cars under risk of
freezing, and railroad companies are
not assuming any liability for the
freezing of apples in transit between
here and the coast. The apple crop
has also been badly damaged by
cold weather, and about 20 per cent
of the entire crop has been lost,
owing to these bad conditions.
Local commission men report that
the potato situation is little easier.
Many cars of partially frozen po-
tatoes are reported 'on the tracks at
Chicago, Minneapolis, and other
large shipping points. The demand
for potatoes is not heavy at present.
The frosted potatoes are being sold,
but some are so badly damaged they
are a complete loss. 1t is generally
known by commission men that
farmers are holding potatoes for
high prices, figuring that conditions
next spring will be the same as last
spring, when spuds were worth al
most their weight in gold. In this
it is stated that the farmers are
greatly mistaken. Last year an
actual shortage existed, but this year
the crop has been the largest ever
known in the country.
The season for various hot house
vegetables is now on. Local COM
mission houses are getting heavy
shipments of California celery, hot
house lettuce, California head lettuce,
hot, house radishes, cucumbers, and
celery cabbage, the latter a product
that is becoming very popular, being
very fine for salad. Shipments of
California tomatoes will soon be ar
irving, Minneapolis houses expecting
cars of tomatoes this week. Lemons
are scarce and prices will not be
reduced, and this is also true OF
oranges. While the war has had a great
effect in the matter of raising prices
nature has combined to do her part
this year toward the general raise.
Cold temperature in the orange dis
trict has been very damaging. Boat
insurance and the risks run by :.
sells, and also lack of vessels for
transportation, materially effects the
price of importations. The cost on
importing a cargo is great, and about
double over the price of a year ago.
One striking example of such in
creases is found in the price of
Dromedary dates, which are now
selling at SITS above the price a
week ago for case of thirty-six
small boxes.

CURES" FOR AILMENTS

Employees; Beware Of

Especial to Free Press.l

! From Mondays Daily.
Washington, d. c., November 12.-
Imposters posing as federal en-
ployees are trying to sell rheuma-
| tism and other cures which they
| represent to- the gullible as being
made by the United States govern
ment, is a warning issued today by
the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture
Letters received from residents OF
Minnesota and South Dakota tell OF
such Misrepresentation by agents OF
the United States Medical Dispen-
sary'' or "Dr. Henry Post" Wash
ington, D. c. The packages and
labels guaranteed for $40 cures
for various ailments but failed to
give any address of those who are
to refund. Federal inspectors have
been unable to locate any such con-
Germ or doctor in Washington or
elsewhere.
Put Down as Fraud.
The label contains a serial num-
ber and states that the product is
guaranteed by DR.. Post under the
hbeioiiSA pun lOOu anu Ol uS0 act III
June 80, 1906" The number given is
that assigned to concern which has
never made such product and has
no connection with Dr. Post or a
DR.. George Lawrence of South Da-
kota who, according to a correspon-
dent, represented himself as both DR..
Posts agent and an employee of the
United States government.
Agents May Carry Product.
The departments inspectors can
not find that the product is being
shipped in interstate commerce, which
would bring it under the food and
drug ct and are of the opinion that
the agents carry it personally to es-
cape detection by the federal author
tiles. The department therefore has
brought the matter to the attention
of various state All citv food and
drug officials with the view Ct ee-
curing their cooperation in detecting
and preventing such fraudulent
practices
