SQUIRE BuSH'S
COURT CROWDED
A Dozen Booze Drive. Caught
Near New London Fined and
Deprived of Bottles.

Sheriff Peter Bonde and deputy,
Ernest Olson, made a haul of booze
carriers north of New London last
Friday, and as result twelve parties
from Buffalo, Montevideo, Maynard,
Clara City and Appleton, paid fines
aggregating $4,000 in Justice G. A.
Bush's court at New London, and the
Sheriff has a wagonload of bottled
ton demijohns, jugs and ordinary
beer, stored in the county jail await.
ing final disposition. The sheriff and
deputy awaited their victims near a
turn of the road near Wesley Prices
place where a grove obstructs the
view. The driver of one of the rigs
carrying the big load, when he saw
what was taking place turned about
and tried to get away. Deputy Olson
took after them and overlook them on
the old New London-Hawick road
near Smithson's, where they were
stuck.
The making of these raids and bring.
ing in of the arrested men for hear
ing before c. A. Bush, justice of the
peace, made quite commotion in the
otherwise peaceful village of New
London. The arrested parties were
Edw. McCaffey and Oscar Erickson,
two hunters from Buffalo; Emil Law
renee and Fred Widsworth of Monte
video, whose supply of wet goods was
conservatively estimated at $50; John
Hanson and Frank Meyer Of Maynard,
with $12O worth; Geo. E. Omen and
John Enkens, of Clara City, with $50
worth; Paul Rudseik, Andrew Rud-
sick, Jake Henke and Joe Frobel OF
Appleton with about SIS in wet goods.
The parties were brought before
Squire Bush, and all pleaded guilty
to having transported intoxicating
liquors into dry territory, and the
Squire assessed the fines with jail
sentence alternatives, and the fines
were all paid.
Another booze party coming from
Stearns county to W1llmar was
arrested by Sheriff Bonde Friday and
was brought before Judge Muller who
assessed the fines.
Sheriff Bonde hopes that his accumu-
lations of confisoated liquors taken
from parties coming from Lake Henry
and Roscoe, will finally make an I'M
preston upon the State Safety Com
mission strong enough to cause them
to close the saloons at those places

ELEVATOR BURNS.

Big Loss to the Village Of Dasseli.
At noon on Monday last the Farm
er's Cooperative Elevator at Dassel
was discoyered to be on fire and in
spite of all effort the entire upper
part Of the building was destroyed.
Owing to the fact that about 10000
bushels Of grain was in the elevator at
the time, the fire department .was en-
abled~ to get the flames under control
when they had burned down to top OF
the grain, but of course the
grain was thoroly smoked and was
nearly worthless for market. Parties
of Dassel estimate the loss at about
$4,000, which is a sad one to that vii.

the amount of insurance carried

THIS WEEKS FOOD FACTS.

Americans must send to Europe this
year SO per cent more food than she
sent last year. Americans had to do
"some saving" last year. To increase
this 30 per cent means they will have
to save more this year. Mr.: Hoover
says there must be absolutely no
waste. = Every person must save his
share in order that the boys abroad
may be sustained in the big job OF
delivering the knockout blow to the
Hun.
The new styles for public eating
places" announced week ago, &C.
cording to the United States Food ad-
ministration, are to be enforced. This
cooperation on the part of public
eating places, the United States food
administration will not hesitate to
compel compliance with its orders
through the control Of the distribution
OF sugar, -four, and other supplies.
This means compliance or practical
discontinuance Of business.
Because the Minnesota club, per.
haps the most exclusive organization
of the kind in Paul, made false state
ment regarding the amount of sugar
it had on hand and attempted to hold
more sugar than it was properly en-
| titled to under the food administration
regulation, it has been deprived Of all
licensed food commodities from Oc-
tober 10, 1918, to January 1, 1919, In

AN APPEAL TO THE
WOMEN OF WILLMAR

Have you a son or brother over
there or in camp here?
What sacrifice would we not make
for these boys who are so nobly serv-
ing this, our country? They have CIV
en- up home and loved ones and many
are making the supreme sacrifice for
you, that you may be unharmed. But
many things must be sent to them,
that they may be properly cared for
when sick or wounded. Many thou
sands of dressings and bandages to
perhaps save their lives. Are you
helping to make even ONE dressing
for one boy? Or do you leave it for
the little band of workers who have
worked all these months to meet our
county's allotments Of the needed
dressings? Is 1t fair that only few
must carry on this work? Can you
not find time to give one afternoon
or evening a week and do your share? ?
This work belongs to you and to every
woman in Kandiyohi county. The
time is Tuesday and Thursday every
week and the place is the Red Cross
rooms in the Masonic temple.

! Is NOT LIFTED
Health Officer Rain. Speak. Of
Conditions Bearing on Con-
( troll of the ttFu''~

Health oh1cer DR.. Rains made the
following statement today in an inter-
view with the editor:
"The public schools will not be opened
at present and probably not before the
week after next. tits no use to open
them until there Is marked abatement
of the disease. At present there are
quite number Of cases among the
children. Nor will the ban be lifted
on other public gatherings, including
churches, and movies. People should
not unduly expose themselves as condi-
t1ons are serious thruout the state.
Those who are recovering should stay
in the house or away from work until
they have fully recovered their
strength. We have had two deaths
this week from pneumonia following
influenza. The experience in Eastern
cities show that the crest of the cpl
demic is not reached for from four to
five weeks. ~
':The greatest trouble we have at
present Is to secure nurses Of any kind.
"All those who have had influenza
have it or have had it, should wear
masks, especially when they are work
ing indoors. Masks are furnished free
to all and can be obtained from all
physicians, drug stores and relief
headquarters" ~ -,
The fact that all precautions for
spread of influenza are taken here do
not indicate that conditions are any
worse at Willmar than in any Of the
surrounding towns. On the other
hand such action makes it safer for
the people to do their necessary bust:
ness here. Many absurd stories are
afloat which are gross. exaggerations.
