makers Of the gumshoe kind un-
doubtedly, deprecate the statement,
but the Grand Old Party in Mime
sofa is now facing the most critical
period in it's history. Either June II
sees the nomination of Gov. Burn
quist as the Republican standard
bearer. or a Democrat will occupy
the throne after January 1st next.
Many would not be surprised if the
latter happened in any event. Be
that as it may, however, the nomin-
alton of G.. A. Lindbergh, the candi-
date of Boss Townley and his band
of touch artists, is more than a pos
sibility and it behooves every loyal
>ist and friend of good government
in the state to bestir himself if he
would avoid such a calamity. When
this warning was in the making re-,
ports of the most alarming nature
were pouring into the capitol and it
is almost needless to say that they
were Lindbergh's way. The agricul-
tural districts, it was said, was Lind
berg's to a man, and those making
the statement had ample proof to
back their claims. The only COM
fort Offered, and the one which may
head off the inf1iction of the Lind
bergh stain was that the towns and
villages were as rule clean. Gov.
Burnquist, it was generally agreed,
would carry the big end of the same
towns and villages. Districts de-
scribed as particularly bad were the
Third district, the Seventh, large
part of the Sixth, the Ninth and
much of the Eighth. The southern
part of the state was reported as in
fare shape, but the northern section
it was agreed was off. How to- head
off the impending disaster was the
one concern. To the unthinking
perhaps, and unfortunately they are
too often in the majority, who will
be the next governor of Minnesota
counts for little, but there is more
at stake this year than ever in the
history of the state, and the sooner
this unthinking element is awakened
to this fact the better. The whole
thing is not question of pasties or
individuals. The good name of the
state is involved and the blot to be
avoided is Lindbergh and the crowd
behind him, the Nonpartisan League,
Those concerned with the future of
Minnesota are determined that he
and his crowd must be blotted out.
Anything else would be a calamity.
Although burdened with primary
fight of his own, not to mention the
memory of late break with his
excellency, I. A. Caswell, clerk of the
supreme court and a candidate for
denomination to that office, has come
out for Gov. Burnquist and is lend
ing every aid possible to bring about
the governors nomination. AS to
any differences he may have had with
his excellency in the past they are
pushed aside for what he regards as
a duty to the state and the govern
ment. If there is one man in the
state who can sound the old circus
cry of "Hey Rube" and get an un-
qualified answer it. is Caswell. He is

TO DEFRAuD
j, s, ON ALLOTMENTS

Washington, June 29.-The occupa-
ton of contracting bigamous marriag-
es with American soldiers and claim
ing or even accepting unlawfully an
allotment of their pay and the accom-
panying government allowance has be-
come common.
To the woman in the case it means,
if the fraud is detected, a fine of not
more than 1000 Or imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or both. To the
soldier it means any penalty the court
martial chooses to impose. To one
soldier it brought a sentence of fifteen
years imprisonment.
"The war risk bureau intends to go
the, limit in prosecuting these cases.
said l.. Merriwether Smith of Ken
lucky, associate counsel in charge of
the prosecution of frauds. "If un-
checked these violations Of the law
would cost the government hundreds
of thousands IF dollars.
"We have 10Y in preparation from
fifty to a hundred cases. BY far the
greater number are what we call class
A cases, those of allotments by a sol
der to an alleged wife, to whom he
may " may not believe himself legal
ly married and the class B cases of
acceptance by relatives of allowances
to which they are not entitled.
"In from rs to 80 per cent of the
class A cases the women have hus.
bands living; in about so per cent 81

Following a short connection in the
wholesale dry goods business in Lon
don, Mr.. Cox associated himself with
Thibaudeau Bros. & Co., of Montreal
and Winnipeg, in whose employ he
continued from 1881 to 1890, being an
active traveller on the road for the
Montreal house.
The first council of the United
Commercial Travellers of America in
stituted in Canada was at Winnipeg,
July II, 1899. Up to 1911 the six
States and Provinces of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta formed one
of the Grand Jurisdictions of the U.
C. T., in which federation Mr.. Cox was
prominent and Influential, being hon
ored by this Grand Council by repeat
ed election to honorary positions and
as it's chief executive officer, that Of
Grand Counselor at Duluth, Mimi, on
June II, 1909. Mr. Cox was the first
Canadian delegate to the Supreme
Council of the U. c. T. where he has
risen in eminence to the highest hon
ors within the gift of that body.

the cases the soldiers are already
married. OF the single men about one
third, usually mere boys, appear to
have been victimied outright"
"Adopts" IS Year Girl.
A curious ~expedient to which one
soldier resorted was to claim as his
illegitimate child a girl of, 10, asking
that his allotment and the government
allowance be paid to a woman he
named as guardian and whom he, then
proceeded to marry.
His wife, until the fraud was dis
covered, drew her own allotment and
allowance and that Of the alleged il
legitimate child, who testified that she
bore no relationship to the soldier, had
protested against the whole transac-
ton and had never received any of the
money.
In one case. a father regularly in
dorsed the government check covering
the allotment and allowance and re-
mailed it to his son.
Fraud cases have been reported
from twenty-three states, California
having so far furnished the largest
number Of offenders. A few cases
have been reported from 1lulinois, In
diana and Michigan, but none from
Wisconsin, Iowa, or Minnesota.

DANGEROUS WELLS
and SPRINGS

1t is indeed a modest property own
er who will not boast of his we'll. The
GOODNESS, c%learness and general excel
lence of their water supplies is a IA
vorite topic of conversation with thou
sands of people.
When Investigations have been made
by sanitary experts the water of many
OF these wells and springs has shown
pollution, time and time again., This
means that it is positively dangerous
for human consumption. Unfortu-
lnately, water may appear clear and
be agreeable in taste when it contains
sewage organisms which may cause
typhoid fever or ~dysentary when taken
into the system. Much Of our rural
typhoid is due to polluted wells and
springs.
No we'll should be located near a
cesspool, privy OF barnyard where the
drainage from n of these places, by
seepage thru the water bearing strata
can reach it directly or indirectly. In
a limestone country there is partic-
ular danger that sewage or animal
wastes may find their way thru fs-
sures IN the rock and may reappear
many miles away in some subterran-
can stream which serves as a water
supply.
open wells are particularly liable to
pollution and all wells should be care
fully walled and covered to prevent
them from direct drainage contamin-
alton. The close proximity of possible
sources of pollution should be suffi-
clent cause to place any we'll or spring
under suspicion. :
Unfortunately, many property own.
ers who strive to keep their houses
ana grounds in a clean, sanitary con.
dltlon-overlook this vital factor.
The cost of a water tight stone O.
cement covering which will deflec
drainage from the well, or the sink
ing OF a new well in a safe localit,
is vastly less than the possible cost O
a single case of typhoid.

THRIFT STAMPS-NAILS IN THE
KAISER'S COFFIN.

One way Germany used to raise
money to put over its sinister scheme
was by working on the patriotism of
the German people to get them to buy
nails and drive them into a wooden
statue of Hindenburg.
One way America is using to drive
nails into the coffin of the kaiser and
his hopes of world empire is to sell
Thrift Stamps a ia quarter apiece.
That's the way to think of your
Thrift Stamps-every one a nail in the
coffin of the kaiser.
One Thrift Stamp will not win the
war, any more than one nail will fas-
ten a kaiser's coffin together.
If every one of us will buy one
Thrift Stamp every time he has a
quarter to spare, there will be plenty
of nails and the kaiser's coffin will be
made and he and his schemes will be
buried in it.
Don't forget-every Thrift Stamp
is a nail in the kaisers coffin.

FREDERICK COX
HEAD Of U.C.T,

Columbus, Ohio, June 29.-Freder-

was elected Supreme Counselor. of the
United Commercial Travellers of AM
erica at the annual meeting of the or
der here this week.
The honors paid Mr.. Cox in his ell
ection as the new leader of hte travel
ing statesmen of America is not only a
just tribute to a man who has render
ed yeomen service to the craftsmanship
profession but speaks volumes for the
friendship of the two great English
speaking people of the North Ameri-
can continent, fraternal relations that
have long been fostered by CONNER
cial travellers which in these soul stir
ring times play SO important a part in
the brotherhood Of nations.
Mr.. Cox was. born in Huddersfeld,

U, 5, REGIMENT TO Be
SENT TO AID ITALIANS
PURPOSE IS MORE POLITICAL
THAN MILITARY; WILL CE-
MENT FRIENDSHIP.

Washington, June pa regiment
of troops in General Pershing's expe-
dictionary forces has been ordered to
Italy, probably IS IL advance guard
of :dditional forces to be sent later,
to complete unity on that front of
Italian, British, French and American
troops.
Secretary baker announced today
that General Pershing had been in
structed to select a regiment now in
training in France for immediate
movement to Italy. 1t will be re-
placed by a regiment to be sent from
the United States to fill up the divis-
ion from which it is drawn.
. The secretary's announcement per-
mits for the first time publication of
the projects that have been under con-
sederation here and which were dis
cussed with General Pershing by ca
BILE before a decision to send the first
contingent to Italy from France was
reached. The original plan was to
us a part of the mobile reserve of the
American expeditionary forces for the
italian expedition, but later it appear
ed likely that the movement would be
made direct from the United States.
May Be More Later.
While there is good reason to be-
lieve that the American forces in Italy
will be augmented considerably later,
today's announcement appears to
make it certain that no direct move
ment from the United States at an
early date is planned. It is known,
however, that the suggestion has been
considered that the Italian expedition
be made entirely independent of Cen
eral Pershing's forces, although equal
ly under the direction of General Focn
as supremee commander.
The nature Of the discussion with
General Pershing as to the italian
venture has not been disclosed. The
fact that he is selecting the first reg
iment to be sent, however, was taken
as indicating that it resulted in a de-
cision that a consolidated American

force in France and Italy was the
wisest solution at present, at least.
The purpose of sending troops to
Italy, Mr.. Baker has explained, is
more for political than military rea-
sons. 1t is desired to demonstrate
again that the Allied nations and the
United States are one in their purpose
on all fronts, and to extend the inter-
course between the troops of all the
powers at war with Germany. For
this reason there has been no sugges-
ton that an American army be sent
to Italy although all troops sent will
see actual service at the front, asso-
ciated with Italian, or nor probably
French and British forces.
