HIGHER PRICED BEER
WILL END TREATING
When "Schnitt" Costs Ten Per
There'II Be Great Many
"Loners"

If the price of beer is raised to
ten cents per glass, then it will be
goodbye treating.
Fellows who have been in the
habit of setting 'em up will forget
that stunt and we will be lucky if
we get the ex-treater's business"
said one patron of the bar today.
1t will cost 80 cents to buy a beer
for thre persons. And if each fell
low takes his turn at setting 'em
up it would cost 80 cents to make
the rounds. Formerly the goodfel-
lowship stunt could be pulled for q
total of As cents. Therell be great
many toner's"
'"The days of real sport are fast
disappearing" remarked a mahogony
patron today. 1.-The free, lunch long
ago became a memory and now there
is prospect that the price of the
foaming beaker will be elevated to
ten per. Later on the dry wave is
likely to sweep over Minnesota and
then it will be trip to the watering
trough for lot of the boys.
"Why, years ago. a fellow could
buy quart of beer FOR 10 cents.
Now he is lucky to get a 'schnit' for
a nickle. The joy is being taken
out of life. Me to the harvest fields .

COST S81.55 TO GIVE
FRIEND SIP OF BOOZE
Martin >Eckman Reported to
Have Been Fined That Sum
At Blue Earth

Fairmont, July Sit cost Martin
Eckman $81.55 to take red liquor IN
to Faribault county and treat thirs-
ty farmer north of Winnebago last
week, according to reports from Blue
Earth.
Martin and Pete Jenson drove to
Mankato on the Fourth and loaded
up with a few bottles of the old stuff
for later consumption. On the way
home they stopped on the other side
of Winnebago and gave farmer
enough to make him feel SO good that
he told friends all about the kind
wayfarers.
Now there are some cantankerous
old drys in Winnebago, some of those
fanatics" as the vets call them, Who
get peeved when the statutes of Min
nesota are raped over the head with
wiskey bottle. In due time, the
story of Pete and Martins generosity
reached them.
The fanatics" declared that Fari-
bault is. dry county, and that no
pair of vets from Martin or any 9TH
er place can haul red eye through
their midst and get away with it.
They hiked for Blue Earth and swore
out warrant for Eckman. Satur-
day he was fined $50 and costs of
$31 .55, making the Mankato trip a
more or less expensive celebration of
the Fourth.
1t is reported that Mr.. Jenson also
will be invited to take trip to Blue
Earth, although he claims to have
merely been acting as chauffeur for
Martins Independence day excursion.

SHIPPING IS WARNED
New Diver Blow Believed Com.
ing on Atlantic Coast.
All Points Between Virginia Capes and
New York Told To Be On
Lookout.

Washington, July 1O.-German u
boats are about to strike again AT At.
lantic coast shipping the navy depart
ment has reason to believe.
Because of this, an official warning
to all shipping to be on the alert has
been sent out, covering the stretch of
ocean from the Virginia capes north
ward to the vicinity of New York and
eastward a considerable distance out
to sea.
The recent inactivity of the U-boats
off the coast has not deceived navy
chiefs into believing the danger was
past, and recently confidential infor-
nation has come tending to prove that
a new blow is about to fall.
While there always is an element of
doubt about submarine information,
this data appeared to authorities to
be substantial. While warnings are
sent out more or less frequently, they
generally are based on what appears
to be good tip"
Warning Given Shipping.
New York, July 10.-Vessels in this
vicinity have been warned to watch
for German submarine believed to
be operating about 1000 miles east
of New York.

FOUGHT CHANGE OF VENUE
Minnesota Safety Body and the Bloom :
ina Prairie Case. t

minnesota SdISty DoOy ana tHe bIoohl- =
ing Prairie Case.
st. Paul, July 10-The Minnesota
Safety commission came into the Ram
sey county courts to contest the mo-
tion for change of venue in the suit
brought by William r. Carroll, Bloom
ing Prairie saloon keeper, to restrain
the commission from interfering with
his business.
1t was the first formal appearance
of counsel for the commission in the
now famous Blooming Prairie case,
and Ambrose Tighe, who entered
special appearance as counsel for the
commission, was in numerous tits
with opposing counsel as he argued
against the motion to strike the de-
mand for change of venue to Min
neapolis from Ramsey county.
MI. Tighe by his special appearance
indicated he was in court only to
attack the motion in controversy, but
also indicated that he would appear
in opposition to the granting of a
temporary injunction next Monday.
Judge Hugo Hanft, who heard the
case today, suggested he would give
counsel for Carroll time to look up
citations made by Mr.. Tighe and the
Gaze went over until Thursday morn.

French Soldier Sees
Riddles Beyond the
German Fight Lines
FRANK ]. TAYLOR

With the American Army in France,
June 16.-[By Mail]-At certain
point in a sector taken over by the
Americans observation posts over
look miles of territory behind the
German lines.
When the Americans took over the
sector the French loaned a number
of their observers to train the newly
arrived Americans. One man the
French said was especially good, be-
cause he knew every inch of the
German territory under observation.
He had lived over the line before
the war, and his family was still there.
This man had escaped to France to
join the army when war broke out.
From the observation position he
could see on real clear days his home
over the line, and with the aid of
glasses he watched his wife and two
little 'kiddies" when they were out
side their home.
In good weather he saw them three
or four days out of the week, but in
bad weather he was fortunate if he
saw them once week. 1t was tanta-
lizing to see his children grow up
when he could not reach them, yet
he was grateful for the chance to
look at them.
One day shortly after the Americans
came, this man was broken hearted.
He had seen his wife and the children
board train. For two days he was
almost without hope.
Then one of the Americans he had
been training suddenly shouted one
day. "There they are They're back
The Yankee was almost as excited
as the Frenchman.
This man doesn't measure time by
"the end of the war" as most people
do. With him it is until the Amer
leans drive the Germans beyond my
home over there" For him that will
be heaven. =
He says there will be no end of
the war on Germany for him. For
the hours of agony the Germans have
given him will never allow him to be
at peace with German. furthermore,
a ransom is on him for an uprising
he started before he escaped to
France. The Americans will try to
keep him at his observation post until
his home and family is won in an
advance.

LACK OF DISCIPLINE
AMONG THE TEUTONS
This Is Shown In Orders to
Officers Issued BY Won
Dermervitz
WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

With the British Armies in France,
July 10.-"One of the most recent
dangers that menaces our armies is a
growing lack of discipline and t1agrant
disobedience of orders given by SUI
perior officers" stated General Won
Dermerwitz in his orders of the day
which were taken from German
prisoner, captured by the British
forces.
The order went on to warn petty
officers that they should strictly en-
force every order given and that the
harshest punishment must be meted
out to all offenders. In another
communication which was taken the
general said: "Refusals to obey Or
ders increase. l must impress upon
you the urgent necessity for strictly
enforcing every command.

CLAIM EAGLE LAKE
ROAD IS SPEEDWAY
Residents Along That Highway
Made Complaint to County
Commissioners

The session of the county board
this morning was taken up chiefly with
the consideration of roads in the
county. John Nyquist and other rep
resentatives from the Mankato Auto
mobile club and from the Commercial
club appeared before the board and
asked that county road No. IA, be-
tween Mankato and st. Clair be re-
paired. The road beyond the Tivoli
bridge is said to be in particularly
bad shape.
Another delegation living on the
Eagle Lake road appeared and COM
planned that the highway was being
used as a speedway. At places where
there is no fence between the road
and the fields cars swing out into the
fields of grain and do damage to the
crops. 1t was reported that sometime
ago car struck a buggy driven by a
young man and completely demolish-
ed the rig. The young man was
thrown out and after stopping, the
men in the car dragged him to the
side of the road and hurried away.
The board did not take any action at
this time.

KEEPS EN- BUSY SALUTING
Soldiers Who Are PatroIIing the White
House Grounds

UNITED Press Dispatch1
Washington, July 10thAIt NAV
be quite an event in the young life of
private to be assigned to guard duty
around the White House.
But it has its disadvantages.
There's this saluting thing.
When an officer passes a soldier
on guard, the private must stop in
his tracks, face his superior, and bring
his rifle to present arms"
Of course that isn't hard work
just now and then.
But when officers from the neigh
boring war department pass almost
in steady stream, it keeps said
private busy saluting.
So, guarding the president may be
some honor, but it's also some work.
