Trusting Andrew Moen had been
working at Red Lake, where there is
extensive logging under way. He
had saved plenty to enable him to
take brief vacation and he hied
himself to Bemidji. During his
meanderings in taking in the sights
he encountered pretty Genevieve
Hagen, whose charms completely
subdued the visitor.
1t was about 1880 o'clock last
evening that Chief of Police Essler,
accompanied by Patrolman Titus,
paid visit TO Harry O'Connor's ho-
tel on the second floor of 220 Third
street and discovered the fair Gene
We've and Andrew communing in a
manner not in accord with the stat
utes of the state. Both went to jail,
Genevieve not hesitating when asked
for a $50 cash bond for her appear
ance this morning before Judge Glib
bons, while Andrew put up $25 cash
for his appearance.
The case was called three times
this morning but Genevieve failed to
answer. Moen was present and the
Judge added another s25 to the SIS
cash bond, or it was so days in jail
at hard labor for the defendant.
tThe law forbids just such actions
as yours" commented the judge after
imposing the fine, "and you'd better
cut it out"

Moen, stand it's the last time. "

GOPHER SOLDIERS in
!. FRANCE CANNOT VOTE

Minneapolis, Oct. Minnesota
soldiers in France will not be able
to get ballots in time to vote by mail
this fall as planned by the Mime
sofa Public Safety commission, is the
opinion Of County Auditor Al p
Erickson.
Erickson was notified that the
state ballots will not be ready until
Oct. 10. This is due to late filings
for state office expected by candi-
dates of the Nonpartisan league,
which will delay printing of the ball
lots.
q 1T takes at least month to get
mail across the sea" said Mr.. Erick-
son, so it will not be possible to get
the ballots to the boys in time for
them to vote on Nov. 5 We cannot
send the city and county ballots
without the state ballot, SO 1t looks
as though the boys would be shut
out. y
There will be time to get ballots to
the men in camps in this country, 1T
is believed.

BULGARIA IN THE WAR.

1t was on october 3, 1919, tnat
Bulgaria issued manifesto announc-
ing her decision to cast her lot
against the Entente. She had been
fifteen months in deciding her course
In the manifesto the Bulgarian
government declared that her trade
interests and economic rights were
inseparably bound up with Turkey,
Germany and Austria
What Germany Offered.
Is was added that Germany had Of
fered Bulgaria in return for her neu-
traIity the whole of Macedonia in
Guiding Uskub, Monastir and Ochri-
da. A still greater territorial expan-
sion at, the expense of Serbia was said
to have been offered as a condition OF
active military assistance.
During the period of Bulgarian
neutrality both the Entente alliance
and the Central powers had made Of
fers to Bulgaria and Russia, who for
years had protected Bulgarian inter-
ests, sent an ultimatum to Bulgaria
early in October, 1915. Bulgaria re-
fused the Russian demands.
The Bulgarian manifesto said that
ises of the Entente and that "Bul-
garia must fight at the victor's side.
1t was reported at that time and
never denied authoritatiyely that a
secret treaty had been signed be-
tween Bulgaria and Germany con-
cerning Bulgarian participation In
the war on July II, 1915.
Bulgarian troops invaded Serbia
October 10, 1915. Her entrance into
the war led to the overrunning OF
Serbia, Montenegro and Albania by
the armies of the Central powers.
Bulgaria's Joining the Central powers
was one OF the reasons that led Ru-
mania to enter the war on the side
Of the Entente late in August, 1915.
The population of Bulgaria was
not unanimously In favor OF Bulgaria
Joining the Teutonic alliance.
Allies Friends Suppressed.
The government took harsh meas
ures against those opposed to the
war and those who were friendly to
the Entente Late in 1917 reports
were current that the military in
Bulgaria were being faced by increas-
ing opposition.
Premier Radoslavoff was compell-
ed TO retire last June and his place
was taken by M. Malinoff, a Russo
phile who had been friendly to the
Entente before Bulgaria entered the
war.
King Ferdinand on the plea OF i'll
health spend the greater part OF last
summer in Germany.
Soon after the king returned to So

but the military party maintained
the upper hand. ....

which is said to shrivel up a corn, root

A few drops Of freezone applied di-

lieves the soreness at once, and shortly
the entire corn, root and all, lifts
right out with the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed at
small cost in quarter ounce bottles,
which is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn from ones feet. 1t

coFFEY MAY SHIFT STANLEY.
Boosters First Stacker Likely to Be
Transferred to Third.


Des Moines, April 1o.-Dr. Harry
Stanley, first baseman on last years
Western League ball club isn't a bit
keen about shifting his activity to
third base this season as suggested
Oy Manager Jack Coffey.
Foreman Coffey stated few days
ago that if he succeeded in landing a
first baseman for whom he was ans-
ling he might place STANLEY at the diff
ficult corner.
Stanley does not doubt that he
could fill the position satisfactorily for
he has played every place on the in
field but he believes he is best at the
first station and that he has a change
to go up to the major leagues as a
first baseman. Moreover, he likes to
play first better than any other posi-
ton.
Stanley, who is dentist with Of
nces In the Flynn building, explains
the proposition as q tooth doctor
should He says playing third base
when compared to holding down the
first bag is like pulling a decayed
bicuspid when 1t could be filled.
Pounding amalgam .nto cavity Is a
much cleaner job and IS attended with
less pain than yanking out a decayed
molar.
Thus far Manager Jack has heard
nothing new from the first basemap
with whom he was dealing, so Stanley
may stick at the first corner any
way.
Saturday mornings rain put q
damper on the practice altho most Of
the players reported at the park just
the same.
The big happening in baseball circles
was the arrival Of June Cess. last
years Booster outhelder. who tried out
this spring with the Washington
