part OF road drag commissioners to
have their road properly dragged or

propriated out of the state road fund
to drag or otherwise improve every
mile of inter-county seat highways
in Missouri There are more than
1000 miles of approved inter-
county seat roads, but in many
counties the money appropriated for
a specific ROAD has been used by the
commission to drag or otherwise
improve some stretch of favored
roadway in the county
This practice must be stopped
declared A. c. McKlbbln. Secretary
of the State Highway Board, in a

wheat flour rich in gluten gives best results. And
because PILLSBURY'S BEST is a strong -four,
with the right amount of gluten to best bind to-
gether the dough made from mixed fours, it makes
the ghtest, most evenly baked breads, gems, cakes,

The Reason for Saving

Of all the grains wheat can be shipped to Europe
in best condition and the people there know best
nor knowledge abroad for properly using corn.
Pork lard and other fats should be largely replaced
by vegetable-fat Shortcomings and oleomargarines.
Syrups and natural sweets used instead of sugar.
What proportions of these ingredients should be
used with rye-with corn-meal with graham
flour? How should they be mixed1 These ques-
lions are answered in the PillSbury Recipe Book
Some Wheat Flour Is Necessary
The Government does not ask us to stop eating
wheat entirely. For, certain proportion of wheat
flour is essential with these wartime alternative
Aours This is because most of the coarser Aours
are not strong IN gluten.

by Deputy Sheriff Denley Saturday
afternoon on wire from the depart
ment of justice at st. Paul, asking
that Sinclair be arrested and held
pending the arrival of the necessary
papers. The papers were received by
Marshal Jester and the prisoner was
turned over to him.
The indictment was returned in
the northern district OF Illinois in
the United States court, and Sinclair
was one of the lawless horde for
whom the government issued a war;
rant.
Charges In Complaint.
The-s complaint charges that dur
ling the period from April g., 1917,
to September 2S, 1917, Sinclair, to-
gether with Haywood and others at
Chicago, wilfully conspired by force
to prevent, hinder and delay the ex-
ecution of the laws of the United
States pertaining to carrying on the
war with Germany. That this was
done with view to injure the gov
ernment by depressing and threat
ening the citizens in the free right
to exercise the privilege Of supply
ing the United States with war mu-
nitions. Also toAinduce persons not
to comply with the draft laws, etc.,
thereby causing disloyalty in mill
tary and naval departments.
Also for placing in the postoffice
at Chicago mail matter for the pur-
pose Of executing schemes to defraud
employers of labor, contrary to tho
Espionage Act, and further causing
to be printed in the Solidarity" d
newspaper in Chicago, articles
threatening to destroy the present
system of society.
Sinclair Ideal I. w. w.
Sinclair is well known in Bemidji
and vicinity. He was secretary Of

as the predecessor of Jess Dunning.
He is a rabid member Of the lawless
followers Of big Bill" Haywood and
when removed from the secretary
ship Of the local branch, was sent
out to fOment trouble, at which he
is an adept. He is a stocky, surly.
foul mouthed disciple of Haywood
and has police record. His foul
mouth earned him a smash in the
face from Frank Frost when Frost
was a member of the police force and
Sinclair was thoroughly tanned. When
with his frowsey gang he is all
bravado. His riddance from Bemidji
is good one.

SEEKING SUPPORT
FROM THE PEOPLE
(By United Press)

Rome, Oct. 2.-The pope is eVi-
IDENTIFY seeking support for his peace
propaganda from the people of bel
ligerent nations since his appeals to
the heads of the nations have failed.
Direct approval of the pope of GER

him in two statements. The greatest
significance is attached to an edit
orial in a Rome newspaper believed
to have been sponsored, declaring
the pope is in agreement with the
Socialists of Italy and elsewhere, in
sofar as they seek to safeguard demo
cratic liberty and protect individual
rights. The pope is reported as ex-
