BACKGROUND GUILTY
MONROE PROBATE JUDGE CON-
VICTED ON TWO COUNTS BY
EAU CLAIRE JURY.

Judge John M. Becker of Monroe
for many years a PROBATE judge, was
found guilty of violation of the es-
pionage act on two counts by a fed
eral jury at Eau Claire last Wednes-
day. Two addresses made by Beck
er in February formed the basis OF
the charge. Sentence was deferred
and a new trial denied.
The prosecution alleged that he
attempted to discourage enlistments.
Becker denied the allegations and as
serted that his criticism was directed
at profiteers.
Ridiculing the idea of fuel and food
administrator being necessary, de-
nying there was food, labor or seed
shortage, saying that this was a rich
mans war and that the food shortage
was being prepared by the highly
paid agents of the corporations for
their own gain and telling the farm
ers to beware of high wal taxes, were
some of the statements charged
against Becker by the government
and also that he said to a mother of
two soldier n That's a fine thing,
your two boys have to go tow ar to
shoot their own relatives"
Juui5e OduDOru FRIDAY
that he would reserve sentence on
Judge Becker until he convenes court
in Madison at a date not yet fixed.
Because he has violated his oath
and has been convicted of an infamous
crime, according to the decision Of
the jury which tried him. Becker has
automatically vacated his Office. This
is the opinion of the attorney general,
Spencer Haven, who states that Gov.
Philip will probably fill the vacancy
shortly.
No effort has been made to remove
the convicted Judge since his indict-
ment, it is said, and he has been hold
ing court pending his trial.

Sugar.

Sugar for canning purposes may be
obtained by consumers from grocers
only upon the presentation of a certi-
ficate approved by the Co. Food Admir-.
or his local deputy. Where there lis
no local deputy merchants are re-
CURED to get permission from the Co.
Food Admir-. and may issue their w
special permits if they are in good
standing. Be sure that the consum-
er needs the sugar Immediately for
canning purposes. Limit all such
certificates to ten pounds or less. We
are relying upon you to hold down
these sales to the minimum. Start a
campaign for Canning without sug-
ar" Printed directions for this me-
thod of canning are being mailed to
Co. Food Admir-. and all deputies.
Remember we are now on a two
pound per capita per month basis and
it is necessary for the consumer to
see that they do not run over that
amount for ordinary household use.
Merchants must keep a sugar book
alphabetically arranged with name of
consumer, date, address, amount pur-
chased and number of members of
household. This book is for Food
Adm. inspection. Merchants must not
take on new sugar customers. Will
full violations of the sugar rules will
subject you to having your sugar sup
ply cut off. This applies to consum-
ers as well as merchants.

STORMING THE DOORS
TO TAKE THE HERALD.

The Herald man was somewhat
puzzled last Thursday evening when
he heard loud stamping on the office
stairs. In a moment or so five men
filed in single file and lined up in
front of the desk. The office six
shooter came forward as our strate-
gic reserve and then we blandly ask
ed the strangers what they wanted.
After a little pleasant joshing we
found that of the men, Frank Dali
sing Of Dubuque, Rt. 5, or James
town, took the paper and the others
all wanted to subscribe. Their names
r Herman, John and Andrew Dali
sing and Joe DeMuth. All live in
jamestown. With the promise of
more subscribers the men shook
hands and bid us goodby. They
came up with Wilbert Dalsing,
Franks son, who left Friday for JEFF
ferson Barracks. AS two other new
subscribers wrote in from the south
part of the county Thursday, Chas.
Dieters of Louisburg, and John
Helbing of Cuba City, and asked for
the paper enclosing the money, we
consider it a pretty good day for new
business. The Herald will go forth
each week with a full budget of coun-
ty, state and national news.

THE LIBRARY WORK
IN GRANT COUNTY

AS a feature of the community ex-
tension OF educational activities dur
ing the coming year County Superin-
tendent Bray plans to enlist the CO.
operation OF all the teachers and 9TH
er progressive people in the county
| neStablIShing an increased number
of travelling libraries.
The plan, in brief, is to see that at
least n library center is provided
In each township. All books placed
at such library stations are to be ac-
cessible to all in the community
adults, young people and children.
In some cases the library books
VIII be placed in ~schoolhouses in
charge of the teachers. However.
just as far as possible libraries will
be placed in residences and public
places such as stores, postof1ces, etc.,
where the books will be accessible on
Saturdays, during the evenings and
IN summer as well as winter.
All books to be used in this con-
nection are to be furnished by the
wisconsin Free Library Commission,
Madison, Wis. They will be sent out
In consfgnments of fifty volumes
known as travelling libraries. There
will be no expense connected with
them other than the payment Of
freight both ways. Fifteen of the
books in each library will be for
children, fifteen will be adult non
fiction and the remaining twenty
adult fiction. In addition a special
collection of books on agriculture, &c
onomical cookery and homemaking
or of books on the war, will be in
cluded with the travelling library
making q total OF about z volumes.
Miss Jessie Wedin, Chief of the
Travelling Library Department, gave
a brief talk at the Teachc-s' Insti-
tute, Aug. 9th, explaining 20 those
present the library service offered by
tho Commission.
Since at this time especially the es-
Enlistment of travelling libraries is
not only a matter of educational val
ue but distinctly patriotic as well, it
is hoped that in addition to the teach
ers many others in the county will
offer their cooperation in carrying
out the plan which Mr.. Bray has in
mind.
Information concerning the trav-
cling libraries can be secured bv
communicating either with Supt. T.
Emery Bray, Lancaster, Wis, or the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission,
Madison, Wis.

ROCKVILLE MAN LOSES VALU-
ABLE FORD.-THIEVES ARE
BOLD FELLOWS.

A o of Louis Wolfe of Rockville,
attended a dance at British Hollow
last Thursday night and went home
a sadder and wiser young man.
While young Mr.. Wolfe was dancing
unknown persons with felonious in
tent cranked up his Ford car and
made away with it. When Mr.. Wolfe
looked there was nothing there.
The thieves went north to John
Bendorf's where they ran into a
ditch. They blandly called on John
for a shovel and dug out, speeding
north still more. The next stop was
the Monitor garage about 6 a. M,
where they wanted a bent axle fixed.
Too early for repairs, said the garage
boys. and the two thieves went north
again.
One unknown dresses in blue and
the other in gray. The car number
is 92,247 and the engine number is
959, 1884. Parties seeing same will
confer a favor on Mr.. Wolfe by mott
flying him.
Later-Car Found.
Mr.. Wolfe got his car back Satur-
day. The abandoned Ford was found
in a ditch north of P~latteville.
1t is said that one of the men, one
McCarty, boarded the train at Cuba
City in an inebriated condition and
was knocked off by Conductor Mills.
This man was picked up and made
some kind of a statement, the story
goes, about the car. For some un-
known reason the Cuba City author
tiles let him go. He is said to hail
from Galena.

OF FALLING;
THEN HE FALLS FAR.

Charles Funk Jr., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Funk of this city, fell
from the second story window of the
home early last Wednesday morning
and sustained a broken leg and other
serious injuries. The little fellow
had spent the day previous riding on
a water tank where he had to climb
up and down a great deal at work
with the threshers. During the hight
he dreamed he was still on the wagon
and, it is supposed, climbed out of
bed and went to the window. His
parents heard the crash and brought
in the boy.

Connecting Link mine, was killed
while driving his new car east of

neck. F. Kearney, a passenger, had
his arm broken.
The infantile paralysis epidemic
seems to have spent itself at Dubuque
as there were no new cases reported
to the recorder on Wednesday last.
The number of cases now in exist
ence in Dubuque was further cut
down by several releases reported by
physicians. All danger of further
spread seems to be over and officials
are of the opinion that the city will
be free from all traces of the disease
within a short time.
Robert Squires of Dodgeville, was
S .verely injured at the North Survey
mine when he attempted to catch a
runaway mule hitched to an ore car.
Mr.. Squires went between the mule
and the wall and was crushed against
a pillar. The mule kept pulling MAX
ing matters worse. Squires had a
broken collar bone, ribs broken and
crushed lungs. His chances for re-
covery are none too good owing to
pneumonia setting in.
