Conditions Here
Are Not So Bad
Real Deprivation Practised by People
in The East; Headed
Our Way

People of this part of the country
do not realize how war conditions
have gripped eastern sections of the
nation. In recent letter received by
a Madelia resident from his daughter,
who resides at Rochester, N. Y, the
conditions as regards the scarcity of
coal and sugar is described. She
states that coal is very scarce. In
order to obtain any coal application
must be made at the mayors Office,
where the money is paid and ticket
is received. This is given to the po-
liceman on the beat in the district,
where the applicant resides. He comes
bin. If it is empty or nearly so you
will get half ton of coal, but if it
is not there will be none forthcoming.
Sugar is thing of the past and
money won't purchase it, so states the
letter. For the past month no sugar
could be secured.
Attorney Frank Clague returned
from a trip through the east and south
a few weeks ago and he states that
conditions. as far as coal and sugar are
concerned are far more aggrayating
in those sections of the country than
In Minnesota.
He states that thousands of cars,
containing every conceivable article
of warfare are awaiting moving on
sidetracks, and that trainload after
trainload of munitions pass through
every day toward the seaports. Or
ders have beeen issued that all pas
senger traffic, except that which is
important, must be eliminated so that
the trackage and the rolling stock
can be used for the transportation of
all classes of freight. All the frills
have been taken off the passenger
| travel and the de lux edition of travel
lis no more. These conditions are
gradually working westward and it
will be but a few months until this
portion of the country will feel the
stress of shortage in many articles,
which are now thought to be neces-
sary.-Brown County Journal.

Buys Ice Plant

]. A. Storts of Hawarden, Iowa,
recently purchased the coal and wood
business of VIM. Byington and will
take possession January /. Mr.. By
ington has made no plans for the
future yet. Mr.. Storts has already
moved his family here and is now
permanently located as a Redwood
Falls resident. The following clip
ping from the Hawarden Chronicle
will introduce Mr.. Storts and his fam
lily to the people of Redwood Falls.
"Mr. and Mrs. John Storts and chill
dren left Wednesday for Redwood
Falls, Minn.,4 where they will make
their future home. Mr.. Storts has
purchased an ice and wood business
there and goes to take charge of the
same. It is the only business of the
kind in the city, which is town Of
about 1000 population. Mr.. Storts
has sold his interests here in the ice
business to his partners. He held
sale of his property last Saturday.
His residence was not sold, however,
and will be disposed of at private
sale later.
Eve regret to see this excellent
family leave Hawarden, where they
have lived for so many years. Mr..
Storts is a hustler and the people of
Redwood Falls will find him a mighty
fine man to deal with. We wish him
and his family all possible success
and happiness in their new home"

Van Lear Sat
Upon By Council
Socialist Mayor of Minneapolis Is
Rebuked by Action of Council
at Saturday Meeting

Advocacy of sabotage in Minneap-
oils will be a punishable misdemean-
or; the two platoon system in the fire
department will be saved; the gas
rate case will be reopened; street
lights will be used only on moonless
nights; horsemeat will not be sold as
food, and policenlen's pay will be
raised $3.50 a month instead of $40,
as the result of action taken by the
city council late Saturday.
The sabotage ordinance, making it
a misdemeanor to advocate the use
of crime or violence to gain political
or industrial ends, was passed over
Mayor Thomas Van Lear's veto, by
vote of 20 to 6. Aldermen John Pet
erson and John. Walquist voted with
the four socialist aldermen to uphold
the mayors veto. Alderman Peter
son gave notice he will move to
amend the ordinance at1the next ses-
sion. The veto message of the mayor
declared he considered the proposed
ordinance dangerous to the rights
and liberties of the people"
Overridden Twice.
Mayor Van Lear was present at
the council meeting Saturday. He re-
manned to see his veto overridden
twice The second time, when the
council by vote of 20 to 6, 'repassed
an ordinance for paving Fourth ave
NE from First st to Thirteenth st,
vetoed in September. The foHr So
cialists and Aldermen John Peterson
and 7. O. Dahl voted to sustain the
vote.
Immediately after repassing the
vetoed paving ordinance, the council,
by acclamation, annulled the ordi-
nance. Apparently the action was
taken solely as rebuke to the mayor.
1t was only a few minutes later that
the mayor absented himself from the
seat of honor guest on the rostrum.

Company | Made
Christmas Plans
Lieutenants Peavey And Bollum Re-,
ceive Delayed Commissions
"Swede" Transferred
GOOD TIME PROMISED
Christmas Plans Include Real Trees
Programs, Treats And
Gifts
(Too Late for Last Week.
Camp Cody, Dec. 19, 1917.

OdlIp OOOy, OCC. IL, lOl .
Dear Friend:
Merry Christmas to you! It is a
merry Christmas we are to have for
ourselves, according to the way plans
fall now. The Red Cross, through
proper military channels, has prom
1sed a gift for every man in camp,
and gifts are already deluging the
camp at the rate of several truck
loads each day, and there is still five
days left for the proverbial Christ
mas shopping. There are to be Christ
mas programs with real evergreen
Christmas trees promised probably
camouflaged yucca plants of the larg-
er size-and the Padre announced last
Sunday that he would have big red
apple for every soldier in the regi-
ment-to be given at his Christmas
eve program! Reports now come that
wives OF officers of the regiment are
busy down town with special plans
Of their own with which to surprise
the regiment and make it glad to be
in the army for this particular Christ
mas. Therefore do not feel sorry for
US; rather envy us our Christmas
festivities.
Tonight Bill Peavey and Swede
Bollum are again lieutenants, and this
time to stay. The order from the war
department authorizing the appoint
ments was read tonight by the col
onel to all those who were recon-
mended for promotions the first part
of November. Gold braided hat cords
and leather leggins have again been
dug up and the new officers are al
ready on duty. Incidentally these
men who were first supposed to be
officers and were then returned to the
ranks have shown admirable soldier
characteristics in the splendid and
willing manner they have acted since
the odds seemed turned against their
promotions. AS the Colonel put it,
Il am more than satisfied that the
selections were made from the best
non-coms in the regiment" When
Peavey moves tomorrow to the Off
/ GERS row, L Company will be short
only one officer. Bollum is assigned
to M Company. A number of pro-
motions were also made from seconds
to first lieutenants.
/ Private James Thompson was called
to his home in Scobey, Montana, to-
day by the serious illness of his faith
er, receiving fifteen days furlough.
AT the school of instruction in the
use of gas, the other day, men were
experimenting with the lachrymatory
variety in the gas house, both with
and without the gas masks. One bur-
ly sergeant left the gas house, his
eyes blinded by dripping tears and
was heard to say aloud, though not
to any one in particular, "some id
German will pay for this!
Lieutenant and Mrs. Spencer
Stearns left Camp Cody and DEM
ing Monday and were transferred to
San Antonio. About fifty reserve of
ficers were transferred at the same
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Reynolds are ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow.

Men Indicted
On Riot Charge
James Manahan And Two Other
Prominent st. Paulists Charged
With Serious Offense

The Ramsey county grand jury has
returned indictments against Oscar
Keller, st. Paul commissioner of pub
lie utilities; Thomas j. NlcGrath,
state representative, and James Mana
han, chief counsel for the Nonparti-
son. league. -
The indictment grew out of speech
.es made by the three men at mass
meeting of streetcar men and their
.sympathizers, at Rice Park, ST. Paul,
December 2, which are alleged to
have melted the persons who heard
them to start riots that resulted in
partial wrecking of several streetcars
and injury to several participants and
bystanders. =
Labor Not Blamed.
Organized labor, as such, is alb
solved of all blame in the report of
the jury.
Conviction on a charge of riot car
ries an indeterminate prison sentence,
with a maximum of two years, or a
fine not to exceed $500 or both.
Members of the Minnesota Public
Safety Commission indicated Cover
nor j. A. A. Burnquist will be asked
by the commission to suspend Com
missioner Keller, pending his trial.
The indictments followed the ex-
animation of seventy witnesses re-
garding alleged -infammatory speech
es made at Rice park before gath
ering of labor men on Sunday after
noon, December 2. Immediately af-
ter the speeches, rioting broke out,
streetcars were wrecked, employees of
the streetcar company were injured
and streetcar service in St. Paul was
suspended for the day. :.
Governor Burnquist said he would
await recommendation from the Pub
lie Safety commission before taking
any steps to suspend Commissioner
Keller as a St. Paul city official.

Draft Call
February IS
Shortage of Guns, Clothing and Task
of Classifying Men Post
pGne Summons

The next draft call will be delayed
until February Is. This is the official
word which has been received by
state draft officials from Provost Mar
shal General E. H. Crowder. This was
taken at the state draft office as def
nitely settling all conjecture as to the
time for the next draft call and the
period men certified under the first
call but not sent might expect to re-
main at home.
Matter Is Settled.
Emphasis was given this interpre-
tation of the message by General
Crowder's plain statement that the
date was announced "for the sake
of composing the public mind and for
the convenience of registrants."
Minnesota has sent As per cent of
its original draft quota to Camp
Dodge, from which many of the men
nave been transferred to other camps
or into special service. No call has
been issued for sending to camp the
remaining 55 per cent of that quota.
These men now are certain not to
be sent until February Is.
Lack of guns and clothing, revealed
in recent war department investiga-
tions at Washington, is cause of the
delay. The time required to classify
registrants after return of the ques-
tionnaires is also an important fac
tor.
Supplies Ordered in Advance.
Supplying full equipment of winter
clothing to men in training and the
checking of pneumonia, meningitis
and measles epidemics are tasks to
, which the war department is now
! bending every energy.
The quartermaster and ordnance de-
partments have been given orders to
get reserve supply of guns, cloth
ing and equipment sufficient to outfit
all the men of the second draft quota
before they are called to the colors.
Number of Second Call.
- The general staff has recommended
the second call to be for $4,000 men.
With the $1,000 in the first draft
thousands Of whom are yet to be
called to the colors, this would give
the national army a strength of l.
100000 men and give the nation a
total military strength of 1000, O,OO0
men, with the national guard and
regular army added.

This Is The Year

n AISE your hat to the Glad New Year!
* Raise your voice with hopeful cheer!
Make a TOW that while it stays
You'll make the most Of it's glorious days,
And
What? That sort of resolve is old?
Sounds like tale too often told?
You've made it every New Years day,
Then frttered the ve-long year away?
Well, s'Rosing you have? What's that to do
With this particular year? It's new!
New, you crouch, not the same old kind
OF muddled up year you've left behind!
New each day and each minute too!
New; each second is freshaid new!
New for the things you've left undone
New for the races you haven't run
New for ambitious unachieved!
New for mistakes unretrieved!
New for unfinished efforts tool
New for the things you to do!
Never day in its bill of fare
Is like another day anywhere.
And if year be fresh and new
Why in the dickens can't you be too?
You can! So wash from your care-stained face
OF memory's dirt the last small trace.
Put on Ambitions garments bright
Light your cigar with the Futures light
And say to yourself: "The old years dead
Bury it deep! Look right ahead!
Here's New Year laid out for me,
AS full of chances as it can be,
So out of my way and let me go
It's up to me, and by jings! I'll show"
Then start! And keep at it! Hang on! Stick!
You'll notice the difference mighty quick,
And you'll find before it's halfway through,
It's the Happiest kind of a year for you!

OPPOSES WAR ON
BULGAR AND TURK
DIR. James L. Barton Believes Such a
Step Would Greatly Please
Germany.

Boston, April S.-Dr. James l..
Barton, foreign secretary of the
American Board of Commerce for
Foreign Mission, made public today
o. letter to Senator Lodge, in which he
expressed the hope that congress
would not pass the senate resolution
declaring q state of war exists be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey and the
United States.
Asserting that other countries at
war with Germany had not declared
war on all of its allies, Dr. Barton
said the United States could render
Germany no greater service than by
passing the resolution inasmuch as
Germany keenly feels the need OF
such a step to consolidate Bulgaria
and Turkey in their sense of depend
ence now and after the war.
