TWO large touring cars came to grief some time last night or early this morning at Upson's Corner. An Overland coupe and a, large Chalmers car were the victims. It appears that there was some kind of a joy riding party from Meriden coming up the hill from the Kensington center, with the Overland car in advance, and the other car tried to pass it. The rear left wheel of the Overland was taken off completely and the fender and lights of the other car smashed into an gnizable mass. Tn the coupe was found a notice from the draft board of Meriden, Division 5, which read that Matthew I. Mullins should appear before the draft board of that place on Friday, August 23 The name of F. H. Kirby was found In the large Chalmers car.
 So far as could be learned no one was injured. It was past midnight when some residents of Kensington heard the constant blowing of horn but they took it for granted that it was joy riders

FINED 500 FOR
BOARDING OF FLOUR
Too Much Flour Is Found at HON.
Of Farmer Living in Vicinity
of Extra

There has been considerable ex-
element in and around Extra the
past week on account Of the arrest
of VIM. Toepfer, q farmer living near
there. who The first of March moved
there from Atlantic. The food ad-
ministrator of Cass county said Mr..
TOepfer was under suspicion for
boarding flour, but he left the county
before the official had an opportun-
ity of searching his premises.
Last week state agent VIM. North
up, accompanied by Sheriff Wilson
and J. B. J. Lohner. food admin
strat0r for the south half of the
county, went to the Toepfer home
and on close search found three sacks
Of flour. Two families live in the
same house and, according to the
new ruling, each family was allowed
one sack of flour. The one addition
al sack was returned to H. P. Peter
sen. OF Extra, and the money refund
ed to Mr.. Toepfer.
On Thursday another visit was
made to the Toepfer farm and this
time ceven sacks Of flour were found
under q quantity OF hay In tns barn.
The sacks OF flour WERE taken to =.
II. Petersen. a merchant In Extra.
Mr.. LNhner, the. food admiIistrat-
or took the matter PIP with i. s.
Deams. or Burlington stab food ad-
minlsfra4oy. and on 1gcafving q re-
port from him Mr.. I.oQnsrs fined Mr..
Toepfer 800 for Violating the Law.
The amount was turned over to the
Red Cross.
The law provides q fine Of $500
to $4,000 or a fine and imprison-
ment. In this case 1t will be seen
the fine was very small. Hoarding
of flour will not be- tolerated. and
with this example staring people in
the face. We doubt IL others~will will
fully violate the Law hereafter. This
should teach Mr.. Toepfer and others
q lesson that the state food admin
istrator desires to be fair. but insists
on every person complying with the
laws Of the land.
