CAMP green
SOLDIER BOYS ARE COMPELLED
TO BOOTLEG" THEIR
SODA WATER.

Sioux City, Ia, Oct. 12.-That sol
diers located at Camp Green, near
Charlotte, N. c., have TO bootleg soda
water is the information contained in
a letter received by George Sinclair,
cashier of the Woodbury. County Saw
ings bank, from Russell Il. Swift, of
Vermillion, S. d., and formerly of
Sioux City.
The town Of Charlotte is a joke
even if ii does boast 5000 popula-
tion," declares young Swift. There
are a few fine buildings here, but
usually there are shacks on both
sides of them. Everything is closed
on Sunday. 1t is impossible to get
even confectionery or tobacco. This
is the first place | have ever seen
where it is necessary to bootleg soda
water.
I'VE have absolutely no equipment
and since there are 10000 men here,
il doesn't look as If we would ever
get fixed out. We have n battery
of artillery (the First New Mexico
which is owned by its captain. He is
a millionaire rancher and miner and
his company has everything an artil-
lery man could desire. All the men
in his battery worked on his ranch
and they are a wonderful bunch of
~horsemen."
Swift is with a headquarters com
pany at Camp Green and expects to
be sent to France very soon. He
passed through Sioux City only a
short time ago on his way to the con-
centration camp in North Carolina.

CIRCUIT COURT
BUFFERS GETS 1S YEARS-JURY
DISAGREES IN ALL LIQ-
UOR CASES.

This afternoon Earl Buffers was
arraigned before the court to receive
sentence upon his voluntary plea of
guilty of rape in the second degree,
and was sentenced to Is years in the
penitentiary at Sioux Falls at hard
labor.
The case of Johnson against DAN
iel McKinnon, involving work done
on the defendants farm before a
lease had become effective, and the
pay for which the plaintiff was suing,
consumed the day. The case was
given to the jury late this afternoon.
The jury in the case of the state
against Fred Kurth strove manfully
to reach an agreement, but failed.
They went TO their deliberations at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and were
not released until nearly 9 o'clock to-
day. No motion for retrial has yet
been made, but ii is understood that
the States Attorney Geo. II. Farmer
contemplates pursuing this course.
Ii is understood that the ease against
Louie Krushke will be continued over
the term, and that he will be released
upon his own recogniZance to appear
at the next term of court. This,
however, is not decided officially.
The next case on the calendar i'm
the order in which it is to be taken
up is understood to be that of the
city against c. j.. Armstrong. This
is a case in which Armstrong was ar
rested or a charge of gambling. and
waived examination TO the district
court. If the order Of the calendar
is not varied, this ease is in progress
as this paper is printed.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Belief that frost

CANADIAN WHEAT FOR U. S.
Government Buyer Secures 100000
Bushels For American Mills.

Ninnea polls, Sept. 2t.-Half AZ MIL
lion bushels of Canadian wheat has
Just been purchased ny Frank L.
Carey. local buyer for the government
food administration grain corporation.
TO come to Minneapolis. This purchase
is to bridge over a temporary short
age at the mills. and was made TO full
fl an obl!gation on the part of the
food administration. For the mills en-
tered into an agreement with the gov
eminent to purchase wheat of its rep
resentatives only with the understand
ing that their needs would be sup
piled.
The 100000 bushels just purchased
is the first of what will be a
large movement from Canada unless
supplies from Minnesota and Dakota
farms increase materially in the near
future.
This purchase Of Canadian wheat
which will be in transit this week
demonstrates two points. First that
our mills are not entirely dependent
upon American wheat: and. second
that Canada is an ally in spirit as well
as in name, for that government has
in name, for emf ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lifted its embargo on exports to the
States in order TO provide wheat when
requested.
Western Canada has a wheat crop
this season Of over 200. 900, 600 bushels
which affords surplus far in excess of
the ability OF their railroads to carry to
lake ports before the close Of naviga-
ton or to the seaboard during the win
ter Therefore. our ally to the north
can easily spare a matter OF 500, 900
bushels to our mills if necessary.
Canada however, is not the only
source Of supply, as Australia has a
surplus Of somewhere around 100000
900 bushels. and our Pacific coast is
the most available market for that
wheat. Small imports of Australian
-four last week indicate the commercial
trend.
The statement has frequently been
made that the northwestern farmer.
feeling the price of wheat is guaran-
teed to him, is in no hurry to market
his crop. Yet considering the s,tua-
ton briefly outlined in the foregoing.
in conjunction with the fact that the
price Is not fixed, and the further prop
osition that if the war should end in
the near future there would be no SUD-
/ port to prices, the farmer finds him
self in a different position.
Present prices are not guaranteed
Should peace unexpectedly come, Amer
| lean wheat would compete in the
worlds markets with the surplus of
Russia, India, Australia and Canada.
The northwestern farmer appears to
| be facing financial question. That is.
he can now sell his wheat on a s217
basis for No. northern in MINNEAPOLIS,
with no prospect for getting more,
while if he waits indefinitely, he may
| be compelled to take materially Less.

Unfit ence congress against war as soon
as he was notified that the German
