She stated that her son had installed

OF the navy department to dismantle

T he Sjoberg outfit is one OF the

All persons. firms. corporations
and associations who manufacture

ed the aid OF Collins and Ferguson
and prepared the papers for the suit.
The matter was rapidly approaching
completion when the lawyer left his
Office to find Mrs. Riddle, leaving
Collins and Ferguson In the Office.
On his return, he said, they directed
him to cease proceedings, declaring
that they had seen r. w. Morser,
state manager of the league, and be-
lieYed everything could be fixed up
all right Mrs. Riddle, however, re-
fused to be party to that sort of an
arrangement and affixed her sigma
ture to the complaint, declaring that
she was ready to go through with 1t.
The Others, however, refused, and the
suit was dropped for the present, but
with every prospect that 1t will be
revived before long.
Mrs. Riddle is definitely out Of the
league and has declared that she will
use every ounce of her strength to
undo the wrong she has done by
lending her endorsement TO the
movement. She participated in II
under decided misapprehension
she says, and is anxious to make the
public see the organization as she
sees it--as a seditious organization
designed for the selfish interests OF
few and opposed to the govern
ment Honest farmers who are be-
ing induced to join, she says, are be-
ing sadly misled and should investi-
gate II thoroughly before having
anything to do with it. Her with
drawal from the organization created
profound sensation in Denver
where the league has been active.

LIBERAL RESPONSE TO APPEAL
FOR ARMY Y. M. C. A. FUNDS

II there was any doubt about the
interest Of Raymer people In the
boys at the front, that doubt was dis.
PEELED by the prompt and generous
response of the people at the patri-
otto meeting held at the High School
auditorium Tuesday evening.
The meeting announced for sun
lay did not seem to have been sufilc-
ently advertised and the attendance
was thought to small to attempt an
organization. ]. n. Quinn and Rev.
Griffin very forcefully presented the
matter to those who were present
At the Sunday morning meeting and
then those present were asked to
come back Tuesday evening and to
bring all of their ncighbors. They
must have done so and the attend
lnce was fine. and the spirit even
better than the attendance.
The fore part of the meeting was
4 very interesting talk on that or
sanization, its purposes and inten-
tions and purposes and in an appeal
for funds he met with most generous
response.
Mr., Holloway had opened the way
Tor the appeal for the Y. NJ. c. A.
funds, but the matter was presented
more briefly than on Sunday by Mr..
Quinn.
To make long story short, the peo-
pie in very few minutes subscribed
and oyer-subscribed the amount ap-
portioned to both Raymer and Buck
ingham. II was supposed that our
lpportionment was $500, but in tel
ephone conversation with Greeley, II
was learned yesterday morning that
his amount was for both Raymer
and buckingham. As Buckingham
people are at work also. this district
will nearly double the amount asked
IL may be that the apportionment
viii be sent with a good allowance
for excess and failures elsewhere,
and reserve be put away for Red
Cross or future drives for the same
purpose.
A committee was named to solicit
funds and to be permanent COM
mittee for all future war astivities
as follows: c. r. Beans. A. G. Dupuy,
c. L. Snyder, A. q. Nickerson, j. II.
Beson and J. w. White.
The above men we're all willing
volunteers, and others will be ready
II these should need reinforcements.
