DON'T Slow Up
Advertising NOW!

Never has there been time when the public has
looked more keenly for MERCHANDISING NEWS
than now.
Never has there been time more auspiciOus for
the honest loyal and enterprising tradesan to Sc
cure HIS FULL SHARE OF TRADE than now.
People must continue to eat, to wear and to use.
The Governments request is to cut out Injuries,
and luxuries are only relatively small proportion
of your business For every luxury cut out have
a chance to increase your movement OF staples.
How shOrt-sghted is the policy of reducing adver-
tising expense to "save money" You will only lose
trade. You viii only lose prestige.
Advertise to increase sales and make money that
you may help back up the war financially, don't cut
it out to save money.
Study your advertising ais you never did before
do it wisely and we'll
Be prosperous and let the people know that you
are prosperous. Then buy government bond and
War Savings Stamps. Set an example. Be Opti-
mistic tssa sas .'tt~ sss
Success was NEVER achieved by stopping adver-
tising by wearing old clothes and talking pessi-
misn.
We are going to win theMar-we must.

COURTS DANDER UP
Cites Governor for Contempt for Dis.
obeying Orders of Judge.

ST. Paul, Mimi, July 12.-Clashes
over claims of prior jurisdiction of the
Minnesota courts and the state pub
lie safety commission resulted today in
the citation of Gov. J. A. A. Burnquist.
who had acted to uphold the safety
commission, to appear in court to
show why he should not be adjudged
in contempt of court.
Following the closing of saloons at
Blooming Prairie, Mimi. by order of
the commission. a saloon owner ap-
piled for a court order restraining the
commissions edict. Judge Dickson
ordered the safety commissioners into
court to show why the order should
not be issued. Dickson finally issued
the order after the commissioners re-
fused to appear on the ground that
their action was beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the court.
The saloons were re-opened and
Burnquist ordered out militia to close
them. His citation followed
Secretary H W. Libby of the safety
commission and Adjutant General
Rhinow of the state troops also we're
cited to appear The citations were re-
turndble tomorrow.

Mysterious Letters to Topeka
on Camp Conditions.
"Anxious Mother" Says Son
CHARTERED With Negro.
THEY WANT TO COME HOME
Boys WOuId\Be Under the Doc
tors Care in Topeka.
Tandy and Capper Garry Mat.
ter to General Wood.

Several anonymous letters received
in the last few days by w. G. Tandy,
chairman of city draft board No. 1,
charge that deplorable conditions pre-
vail in the detention camps at Camp
Funston. Whether these conditions
actually prevail, whether the writers
have become unduly excited with triv-
ial cause or whether they are inspired
by pro-German sympathizers seeking
to create deSension are matters con-
cerning which the local board is in
the dark.
A letter received this morning by
Mr.. ,.Tandy and signed IAN Anxious
Mother" stated that the boys were be-
ing quartered with negroes and that
their dishes were washed together. A
| letter in the same handwriting and
with the same signature was received
this morning by Governor Arthur
Capper, who stated that it was the
first one of that kind he had received.
but that he would take the matter up
Immediately with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood.
Both the county draft board and
city board No. denied having re-
ceived any letters on this subject All
the letters received by Mr. Tandy were
written practically in the same tone
and made about the same charges.
Neither Governor Capper nor Mr.
Tandy appeared to take much stock
in the stories, but stated positively
that they would do their duty in TAX
ing the matter up with Major General
Wood and ask that the cases be in
ve>tigated.
Would Come Home.
According to the letters received
this morning by Mr.. Tandy, the boys
wish to come home to be doctored,
stating that they would re>ort to their
local board every night and morning.
"All were put up there and go over
the same thing" reads the letter
Those that are the very worst with
the others and the colored boys sleep
with the white boys. wash their dishes
together and are just as one. Now.
while all should be the same in one
respect, there is no reason why they
cannot sleep by themselves. My son
sleeps with a colored boy, also others
| told US the same thing and asked to
have this looked into. They wanted
you to know this and said you told the
i boys they would be treated right or
to let you know"
Why Not Sign Names?
'If there is anything to these
| charges said Mr.. Tandy this morn
| ing, 81 cannot understand why these
people do not sign their Names"
! Geo. P. Mcclellan, secretary of local
! board No. 2, said he did not believe
that any such conditions prevailed at
the camp and quoted one man who
/ told him that he had gained fifteen
/ pounds in a few days as a result of
| the care he was getting and because
| he was compelled to eat the food he
| should have instead of what he really
wanted.
1t is expected that a report will be
made to the local board by Major Gem
| eral Wood concerning his investigation

SANE OLD STORY!
Wife Sues Husband for Divorce
Because of "AnOther."
She Slipped Home From a Visit,
"Once Upon a Time"

Alleging that her husband in the
last year has been guilty of immoral
conduct with other women, nellie Of
field today in the district court filed
a suit for separate maintenance
against Homer L. Offield, motor car
salesman and owner of the garage at
912 Jefferson street.
Mrs Offield, besides charging her
husband with. immoral conduct, says
she can name the woman. She as
serts that Offield is making not less
than $3.50 a month and in addition to
permanent separate maintenance asks
for temporary alimony.
The couple were married, according
to the petition, in 1913. Soon after
the wedding, the wife alleges, Offield
began to become angry at her over
trivial matters. She also asserts that
he frequently cursed and swore at her.
and says that in June, 1918, the de-
fendant struck her and knocked hei
down. Sunday, June 80, this year, it
is alleged, she returned from a visit
and found her husband in room with
another woman under mysterious cir
cumstances."
Cora Staples, 1401 Quincy street.
also filed suit today for a divorce
from John Staples. She says they
were married in January, 1913. and
