ARRESTED FOR
SELLING POTATOES

Charged with peddling without
license, H. Beckman, farmer living
north of Glenham, was taken into
custody Wednesday and fined $1,000
by Judge Vawter on the charge. The
fine was later refunded and the rec
ord scratched when holler was
raised over the seeming injustice of
the thing.
Mr.. Beckman drove to the city
with a load of potatoes raised by
his father on the lattAr's farm, and
proceeded to dispose of his wares to
the public at prices considerably be-
low that charged by the retail stores.
Complaint was made and the arrest
followed. 1t was pointed out that
the laws give anyone raising farm
products and the like the right to
dispose of them without q license.
Mr.. Beckman sold the balance of his
load to one Of the stores.

CLEAN CITY AND

SURANCE RISKS
INVESTIGATION FOR READJUST-
MENT OF RATES WILL BE
MADE HERE SOON BY
STATE BOARD
CLEANUP IS NEEDED
Business Men Of City Can Get Lower
Rates IL Fire Hazards are
Moved Right Away

State Fire Marshall S. E. Grams of
Pierre was in the city last week on
official business and while in the
city informed Chief Ed Joseph of the
fire department that an investiga-
tion would be made here shortly by
the rate adjusters for the purpose
Of making new insurance rates gov
erning the city.
Rates on a number IF buildings
and in a number Of business blocks
in Mobridge can be materially reduc-
ed if the owners or leases would
Immediately get busy and remove the
fire hazards found there.
Here are a number of things which
raise insurance rates and keep them
up in the air:
Rubbish lying about buildings.
Packing cases and barrels of straw
and excelsior near buildings.
Straw and manure lying about
barns and sheds.
Ashes piled near sheds and build
ings.
Rubbish and paper allowed to re-
main in area ways.
Paper and rubbish being allowed
to accumulate in Easements, hall
ways, rear rooms and sheds.
Tumble down sheds in proximity
to buildings.
Burning rubbish and papers in cre-
matories insufficiently enclosed and
too close to buildings.
Faulty flues and chimneys.
Absence of fire extinguishers in
stores, easements, packing rooms,
etc.
Improper electrical wiring.
Oily rags being left lying around
in closets, easements or in stairways.
And numerous other things which
will readily suggest themselves to
the business man who will stop and
consider, after looking around his
premises, how easily fire might be
started by some one carelessly drop
ping cigar or cigarette stub where
it might start q blaze.
If this matter will be given prompt
attention by the business men of the
city before the adjusters arrive here,
it is safe to say tina. hundreds of
dollars can be saved in insurance
premiums by readjustment of rates
here.

CUBS BACK FROM STRENUOUS
TRAINING TRIP

BY Mark Shields
The Cubs are home from their
cross-coUntry training trip. They
arrived this morning and Joined the
second squad under jim Sheckard,
which arrived yesterday. A practice
session was put in today on the
North Side and the same program
will be followed tomorrow. jim
Archer worked out with his mates for
the first time this year,
Sheckard and MitchelI had a LONG
conference regarding some Of the
men under Jim, but it was believed
only one Of the yannigans was rec
commended. He is Dutch Reuther,
sOUthpaw pitcher and first base IN
deTstudy. In practice games Reu-
Their has been hitting the ball soitnd-
Iy and has played first base in a
Creditable manner. He will be need
ed in case Vic Safer is injured.
Chief interest as to the makeup
of the team that will face Pittsburgh
Wednesday centers on second, base. |
1t is strongly limited that Mitchell
will use Rollie Zeider at that bag.
But, in the face of these reports; we
see Doyle at the keystone in the last
practice game of the year, If Larry
is not to take Nthe field wednesday,
why was he played against Minnie
apOlis. ..
Doyle isn't in first-cIass Condition.
That is admitted. Bit his injured
ankle is in better shape than was to
be expected, considering the training
program mapped out It will be no |
surprise to see him out there in har-
ness Wednesday,
Several Of the war correspondents |
have been sending back stories that |
Charlie. Deal was also to be relegated !
to the bench; zeider taking his job at |
that station. But, despite these |

Deal Will start playlRg third base
for the North Siders at p. m.
wednesday, and will continue every
afternoon Throughout the season,
unless injured. He is the cIeverest
fielder and cIearest thinker the Cubs
have had at the station since Harry
Steinfeldt, and his hitting will not be
weak. Deal is a real ballplayeT, and,
before the end Of the season, will be
a star on the North Side and favor

Pfsndergast held the MiIIers to
three hits yesterday. That was good
work, for some lusty batters are list
ed in the Minneapolis lineup. Mike

and should get much work during
the season. He was an earnest la

were not highly appreciated fnan-
cially. He had no. big league repu-
