Stubs, accompanied by Mrs. Stubbs

posal Of the planters to help them
adjust their freight troubles to an
equitable basis.
"With the completion of the pres
ent plans, we will have one of the
finest, traffic departments Of any
concern or railroad in the country.
It will be operated on the same lines
as a railroad traffic department.
''The American Sugar Refining
Company is doing all it can to assist
the Louisiana sugar planters, ] as
Mr.. Babst's actions have illustrated.
But it is going to require a COM
plete cooperation and coordination
to obtain a proper adjustment of
conditions, and it will be necessary
for the planters to work in harmony
with the refiners.. It cannot be ex-
pected that the company will dig in
to it's pockets to bear the loss which
it has sustained in assisting the
Louisiana splanters this season.
''To dispose of the sugar bought
in Louisiana this season. it is neces-
sary for the company to create a
market in the East, on account of
conditions eliminating the market
natural to New Orleans. The sugar
sent to the east by rail took AZ
cent rate, while the ship rate was
about the same, and sometimes a
little higher. Prior to the war a 15>
cent water rate prevailed to New
York. With the scarcity of bottoms
and high charters, the eight cargoes
sent from New Orleans to the east
were moved at considerable expense.
eve sincerely trust the Louisiana
planters viii cooperate to the fullest
with the traffic Office in New Orleans
in an effort to better conditions"

FOR DRUNKENNESS

CAL JUSTICE COURT.

Under the city ordinances, charged
with drunkenness on the streets,
Amos Leighton. Carl G. Jensen and
Elmer Harmon. farmers from near
Carthage. in Miner county, plead
guilty and were assessed 800 and
costs apiece this morning in Justice
A. W. Sponholz's court. They We're
arrested last night on First street
SW by Chief W%inesburg and Patrol
man Nerdahl, and spent the night in
the city detention booth.
They had come from their homes
in an automobile to fish in Lake
Madison. and had imbibed freely Of
spirituous liquors on the way. They
had a seine with them, and on arriy-
ing at the lake, they decided TO come
to Madison and have a game warden
or the sheriff accompany them to SUI
pervise seining some fish other than
game fish from the water. This pro
vision against infringement of the
law proved their undoing. For they
were not in good condition for a
stranger to solicit services of a guar
dian of the peace, and the officers
noticed it. They were promptly
taken into custody, with the results
shown. When questioned as to the
source Of their supply of liquor, they
said that ii was a part of a store
which they always kept in their
homes, and had been procured prior
to July but they pleaded ignor-
ance of the penalties for having OF
using liquor to excess.

Another big, good natured member
of the company is always laundering

usually takes the form of killing flies.
SO, when he is summoned to appear
before an officer and show cause why
certain things are certain things, he
brings his little fly weapon along TO
save time. knowing the probable pen
atty which will be imposed. Then
he kills 1000 flies, takes them to
the officer of the day, and counts
them out in proof of having expiated
his sin. Then he is ready again to
tall into another small error, with a
probability of another assault where
the enemy fly swarms thickest.

Finding the door locked. and lack

steps and walks at the high school
building last night at the appointed
hour. Young men of Is were there,
and men who are only 50-they say

roland who fought in the civil
war. mingled with the others. One
thing soldierly about the bunch was
that they assumed the LATEST atti-
tudes possible. Capt. Robertson ar
rived late. And after grinning at
the display of what he was expected
to make soldiers of, he rubbed his
hair fiercely backward and went
after a key to the training quarters.
Once inside, the long-suffering
captain gave the motley array a short
address on the elementary methods
Of becoming soldiers. He seemed to
enjoy it-perhaps they made him
laugh. He rubbed his tortured hair
again. and ordered them to fall in.
And they did-you should have seen
them do it, There was a goodly
sprinkling of national guard vets in
the ragged line. And after the cap
tain and Lieutenants C%Olgrove and
Fuller had placed the longer mem
bers in a colony by themselves, the
veterans were interspersed at strate-
gic points 10 keep the unframed ele-

Because of the numbers present it
was necessary to divide the men into
two platoons, or the line would have
extended across the hall, up the stair
and into the street. One platoon was
