~ "What do you thnk of this sort e
treatment the prisoner asked Hall after the officers retired.
"What have you done?" Hall inquired.
"Oh, 1 just murdered q nerod down h roadp was te renIv. VVbat orr
you in here for?" a
"Tm charged with killing a white gl. but I don't know ANYTHING abovt
it, because 1 didn't do It," Hall told him.
Shortly afterward the prisoner went into a trance; he stared at Hall with
eyes open wide and suddenly he grpped the bed springs with both hands
and began in a frightened whisper to say:
Look, man. look. 1 see q ghost. What is II? See there IL is Is com
ing in here Don't you see it? 1t looks like a woman. It's getting nearer.
Now look, quick; it's the ghost of a young girl"
Hall calmly lighted a cigarette and said: "No, 1 don't see ANYTHING and I
don't believe you do, either"
Outside the cell, within earshot a Washington private detective and
county officials were listening. In fact, they strained their ears until five
o'clock in the morning, when they turned in, marveIng at Halls composure.
Hall later told his counsel:
81 lost a nights rest, but I was mighty glad to have company because I
get awful lonesome in that Jail. I wish they would send in others to help m @
kill time"

Do not complain or kick to yoi1r
grocer or miller when he tells you of
any new ruling that the Food Com
mission has made. They are made in
good faith and for the best interest
of the best country on earth. We
have a mission to perform that re-
quires some sacrifice and we are all
expected to do our part. Don't use
unpatriotic remarks when you refer
to substitutes. The government is
not asking yo1 to do something that
you can't do. A true American
should accept these orders without
complaint. Garry them out to the last
letter, respond with every necessary
sacrifice that is asked. Whereby dis
playing yo1r confidence and patriot
ism, accept them as the soldier accepts
his orders with spirit of duty. Don't
say can't, won't or I don't know
how. These words should not be in
true American vocabulary today, but
instead he should say, yes can, will
and I must. Don't be Stacker. You
have duty to perform which cannot
be done by the boys at the front, we
who stay at home must do this for
them. The more we sacrifice, the
greater their strength. Then only can
you say when Democracy has been es-
tablished for the world. Well done

Gen. Crozier Discusses
Age Limit Enlargement
of Selectiue Service Lau

Discussing enlargement of the
age limit for selective military SER
vice, Provost Marshall General Croz-
ier said:
"a pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen and
35 are perhaps the limits frequently
suggested; but some recommend 40 or
45 as the upper limit. There is a
distinctly stronger demand for raising
the maximum age than for lowering
the minimum"
Gen. Crozier estimates that 1885,
1888 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to 45
years. The estimate places the num-
Der Of acceptable single men between
18 and Fl lears at 1,546,2S3. The
number of probably acceptable single
men already registered but not called
is 1,321,845. According to these
figlres, should the age limit be en-
larged to include men of from Is
years to 45 years inclusive, 4,257,b16
physically and otherwise qualified un-
ina, "ied men would be open for call to
service.

Heatless Monday Order
Rescinded For Present.
May Be In Force Again

Heatless Monday has become
history after fonr weeks of patient
patriotism on the part of Sauk Centre
merchants. Fully expecting to be
PEELED to observe the full allotment of
ten heatless Mondays the smile on the
faces of those affected on the Monday
of this particular week was heart
warming. For the first time perhaps,
one realized that these men had sac
rificed in actual money and which
they had done, with rare exception
with perfect loyalty. The character
istic remark to all, sympathizers fof
the past four weeks, has been, "Oh,
well, it's all right. / guess some one
else needs the coal worse than we
need the money" 1t cannot fail to
bring some satisfaction, also, to know
that the amount of coal which has
been saved during this time cannot be
estimated, according to authentic re-
ports.
While the hope is universal that
this will be the last of the Monday
closing, there is still bare chance
that the order will be in force again
later. Depends upon the transporta-
tion congestion in the east. State fuel
administrators have the power to de-
clare heatless Monday if conditions
warrant it, Federal Administrator
Garfield announced in resembling the
order.
Judge MCGEE said that until there
is further improvement in the trans
portation system, industrial plants in
Minnesota will not be permitted to
obtain a supply of coal for more than
thirty days in advance.
In the opinion of j. II. Beck, traf-
fc commissioner of the st. Paul AS
sociation, the order may again be en-
forced in Minnesota if congestion east
of Chicago warrants it. He says the
weather will be the determining fac
tor.
Northwestern transportation has
been indirectly affected by the or
der, according to J. M. Gruber, vice
president of the Great Northern rail
way. He bases his statement on the
fact that empty box cars belonging
to the Northwest territory have been
retained in the east. Unless they are
sent back the Northwest railways
may be hampered in their work.

VIM. +. BROOKS
The Man Who Put Minneapolis
On the Map As An Avia-
ton Center.

Mr. VIM. r. Brooks, one Of the lead
ing business men Of Minneapolis, is
the president of the Aero Club, whose
motto, "HeIp Win the War In the Air"
has resulted in the location Of AN
aviation field and training school for
mechanics in this city.
The record which Mr.. Brooks. has
made in public affairs, through his ef-
forts in behalf Of the Aero club, Lib
erty Loan and Red Cross campaigns,
has brought him prominently before
the public and many of his friends,
feeling the importance of having in the
state Senate men whose loyalty could
not be questioned, whose judgment Is
sound, and who can honestly and ef-
fciently serve the community, have
prevailed upon Mr.. Brooks to stand
as candidate for senator from the
Thirty-first district, composing the
Fifth and Sixth wards.
Mr.. Brooks has lived in Minneapolis
for 43 years and has been resident
of the Fifth ward for 20 years. He
has never heretofore sought Office.
Since 1887 he has been identified
with the lumber business, and has also
been actively interested in many civic
matters. He has recently been instru-
mental with few other citizens in
securing the franchise of the Mime
apolis baseball club.
Regarding the future activities of
the Aero club, Mr.. Brooks says:
"Of course, at the present time all
our thought and attention is centered
on winning the war. But some day
this war will be over and when that
day comes there is no department Of
business that will prosper and develop,
we believe, so rapidly as commercial
aviation and we, as citizens of Min
neapolis, must be in position to take
advantage of the situation and have
the city of Minneapolis receive all the
possible benefit therefrom.
Make City Aviation Center.
"In other words, we want Mime
apolis on the aviation map, and when
the carrying of mail by the air route
ds inaugurated we want Minneapolis
TO be- successful bidder for the prih.
cipal landing station in this vicinity.
I also believe that in the near future
the manufacturing of aeroplanes will
become as important an industry in
the United States as the manufacturing
of automobiles was decade ago, and
that the business men Of Minneapolis
and all the various trade and labor as
sociaIions of our city will when this
war is over, take steps to establish in
Minneapolis factories for this purpose
which will be- credit to the city and
bring to our community most i'm
portant and valuable industry which
will give splendid employment to
many thousands of our trade and Ia
bor people" -..... .... ..
