HILDRETH TO
KEEP RECORDS
Atty. Bangs Withdraws
Motion for Recovery of
Records Seized in Raid

Attorney George A. Bangs Of
Grand Forks, representing John H.
McInerny, late Saturday afternoon
withdrew his motion in federal court
at the hearing held to show cause
why the books, papers and docu-
ments, seized in the East Grand
Forks raid, should not be returned
to Mr.. McInerny on the ground that
they were private and not corpora
ton papers.
Following the, withdrawal of the
motion, Judge Charles F. Amidon
directed that United States District
Attorney NJ. A. Hildreth. should re-
tain custody of the records until the
cases against the brewery are tried.
These cases grow out of a number
of indictments returned by the fed
eral grand jury, charging conspiracy
to evade the federal bone-dry law
and violation of the law.

NO TRADE IN
WHEAT TODAY

Chicago, QiL, Aug. e.-wheat: Prac-
tically no wheat trade TO-DAY. The
cash situation Is still clouded by uFl-
certainty of Developments at Wash
ington.
Corn: Rains were general IN the
west and southwest, and there was
also considerable moisture in the
northern portions of the belt AZ q
result Of these rains, the corn market
was under pressure today and prices
felt the selling. The demand was not
so insistknt while the selling increas-
ed, partly due to the weakness in
oats. The weather is favorable, but
with present premiums for cash corn
the market is without much balance
and could be easily oversold.

Headquarters, Co. B, list N. D. Inf.

Dear DR.. Geary:-
! wish to thank you for your kind
action offering free Chiropodic treat
rnent to the men of Company B. At
this time when there are so many new
men who are not yet equipped with
regulation shoes. This treatment is
especially beneficial. If in every town
where there is a Militia Company a
foot specialist would offer his ser
vices it would be a great boon to the
Captains and also save his men a.
great deal Of discomfort.
1t is quite surprising to find how lit
tie the average man knows about the
care Of his own feet. Now you can
see that men in the Infantry branch
of the service must necessarily, to be
absolutely efficient, have their pedal
sxtremities in good working condition,
so your talk to the men the other
morning was a great help to them.
Yours truly,
Reginald H. Colley,
Captain, 1st n. D. Inf, Commanding
Company B.

In the matter of the last two weeks
we have done some hiking so as TO
get the recruits into shape for the
great hikes that we will take when
we get into the concentration camps,
and have seen men come in limping,
asking to be excused from the hikes
and drills as their feet were not in
condition for them. After examining
them, we found them in the most de-
plorabIe condition.; some had corns,
some calloses, some blisters, ETC., and
we could do nothing but tell them to
keep off their feet until they were in
condition. Then came the same thing
over again, so they were excused most
oil the time. Then came DR. Geary,
who is and always has been the friend
OF the Company, and told the Com
pany that if any of the boys had sore
feet that he would look them over and
give them treatment free of charge.
Then came the rush for DR.. Geary's
cfice and he has looked over nearly
every foot in the Company and the
results are wonderful
The boys Of Co. B take this meth
Cd Of showing their appreciation Of
Doctor Geary and his fine work and
wish that he could go with US on our
hikes and maneuvers so as to give us
the relief as he has given us in the
present instance. The best friend Of
q soldier is his feet, especially in .the
infantry. Every man in the company
feels deeply indebted to the esteemed
doctor for the invaluable service that
lie has rendered and trust that the
day win come when each regiment
win have a Chiropidist.

DR.. C. II. Geary. Fargo chiropodist,
has been rendering men of the COM

feet for blisters, callouses and corns.
The men drill for hours and make
long hikes each day, and the feet Of
many, particularly the recruits. be-
come sore. making it necessary to
excuse them from drill.
Since DR.. Geary began giving
treatments. however, the number of
men to be excused from drill has
been small, officers of the company
say.
Dr. Geary will ask the National
Association of Chiropodists, meeting
at Providence, r. l., this week, to
ask congress to have a chiropodist
attached to each regiment of the
new national army.
