COUNTY FARMERS WILL
ANSWER BY LARGE SOWING
Appeal of Secretary Of Agriculture
for Increased Sowing for Lib .
erty Harvest.

You are asked to undertake an
other ofensive-to go lover the top"
this fall for a great harvest of wheat
in 1919. need give only a few figures
and facts to impress you with the in
creasing and urgent need of our peo-
pie, our armies, the allied peoples and
their armies for large supplies of
American wheat.
Our reserve supply or carry-over
from the 1917 crop is practically ex-
hausted and is the smallest on record.
The need of building up reserves Of
wheat is evident. Although this coun-
try produced small crop of this grain
in 1917, the total exports of wheat in
excess of imports, including flour in
terms of wheat, amounted to approx
mately 100000, 900 bushels for the
year ending June 30, 1918. This is In
comparison with 178,000,000 bushels
exported in 1917, 236 1000, 900 bushels
in 1916, and 331 1000, 900 bushels in
1915. It was possible for the United
States to export wheat in large guam
titles in 1916 and 1916 only because
of the large wheat crops of 191213-14-
Is, which gave this country an accu-
mutation of stocks of this grain. Both
the 1916 and 1917 crops were smaller
than any crops since 1911 and besides
this there was greater demand for
seed wheat and an increased popula-
ton to be fed. -
Moreover. it must ba borne In mind
that the carry-over in all the ten i'm
porting countries in Europe was prac-
tical1y exhausted this year before the
new harvest; that the normal require
ments Of the exporting countries are
increasing instead Of diminishing;
that some losses in storage and tran
sit may be expected to continue; and
that It is highly desirable that sur
plus should be accumulated as insur-
ance against partial crop failure next
year. -. -: H.. -. -..~ -

Sioux Falls, Sept. 11.-A young man
named Lawrence B. Matthias0n, whose
home was at Benson, Mimi, and who
recently was arrested in Grant County
on the charge of stealing automobiles
has been taken to Camp Dodge, Iowa,
by Sheriff Finley, Of Grant county and
surrendered to the military authorities
there for induction into the national
army.
After coming to South Dakota, he
posed as a real estate agent and en-
gagged in the thefts of automobiles,
confessing after his arrest that he
had stolen three cars. 1t developed
that he had deserted from the army
at Fargo. While in South Dakota
Matthiason travelled under the name OF
William Johnson.

BENSON YOUNG MAN M :. j !.
THE TOLLS OF THE LAW
Deserter From Army who Stole
League Organizers Car at
Willmar Recently.

A young man who had been travel
ing under the name Of VIM. johnson,
and making Big Stone his headquart.
ers the past month, passing himself
of as real estate dealer, now fingers
in the local county jail. That he had
been travelling a merry clip the past
few weeks has been fully established.
The real estate business, it has
developed, was merely blind to cover
up and ward of suspicion from the
young mans real business, that Of
auto stealing, and he has since owned
up to the theft of three cars. "
For some reason some of the Big
Stone folks became suspicious Of Mr..
Johnson and took the trouble to write
the secretary of State of Minnesota
to check up the auto number he was
using, and found that the license mum.
Der on the Buick car he was driving
was issued to a man by the name of
Bjorke, of Kensington, MIMI, and was
for a Ford car. Mr.. Bjorke was mott:
fed and he came to Big Stone Sunday
and caused the arrest Of johnson.
Upon locating the man at his r0oming
house and informing him he was under
arrest, the officer was assured he was
mistaken, but was insistent and told
Johnson he must accompany him,
Whereupon the latter said to just
wait a minute until he got his coat,
and stepped into another room. Then
he stepped out the back door and
kept on stepping for some time.
The next heard of him was Monday
morning, when the banker at Odessa
called up the Gold Bros. bank at Big
Stone and asked If it was alright to
cash $500 check for Johnson. He
was requested to detain the man,
which he did, and Sheriff Gowan, Of
Ortonville, FASTENED to Odessa and
took him in charge, delivering him
to Sheriff Finley at the state line at
noon that day. He was brought to:
this city and lodged in jail. i
A check up since has brought out
the information that he stole Ford
car from Mr.. Bjorke at Kensington,
Mimi, Buick six from garage at
Perham, MIMI, and Ford from q
garage at Willmar, Mimi, the latter
belonging to a nonpartisan league
organizer, that the young mans right
name is Lawrence B. Matthiason, that
he was raised at Benson, Mimi, where
his folks still live, and that he comes
from very good family. Also that he
is married and has a wife at Gales
burg, N. D., and that he Is deserter
from the United States army. He was
indicted into the service at Fargo,
N. D., and deserted from Camp Dodge.
The charge against him is grand
larceny but it is as yet hard to say
just what disposition will be made
of the matter. The government pro-
badly has first claim on him and he
may be turned over to the military
authorities at Camp Dodge.-Grant

What is needed to put the name
'Kandiyohi' on some ship or tank is
that the proportion of the number OF
Fourth Liberty Loan subscribers to
the population be the largest.
Our county has an equal chance
with any other on this basis. Let us
not be content with having father
alone subscribe, but let the other
members of the family come in to
swell the list.
By all getting into the effort and
buying bonds, we may be able to Sc
cure the honor of having a war ship
named for our county. Let do it.

A Love Affair,

(By Clarence True Wilson, D. d.
"This movement against the saloon
is not a fight but love affair. Love
for the disheartend men who are
down and out; love for unhappy wom-
en- and hopeless children and helpless
babes, and sad saloon keepers. Saloon
keepers are the saddest men who walk
the earth. No thinking man can run
saloon and be happy!
Ex-saloonkeepers in dry territory
are shaking hands with folks who
voted them out of business and say
ing, I'VE are glad to get out OF the
trade. It is hell to run saloon,
We're happier than we've been for
years." Let's make them all happy.

No doubt the popular, writer who
had this vision of "impossibilities" will
soon see the necessity Of revising it.
The legislature of old Kentucky by
an overwhelming vote referred the
question of statewide prohibition to
the people, and was the third state
(the first wet one) to ratify the fed
eral prohibition amendment.
Cards bearing the following signifi-
cant declaration are seen posted up on
farms in Ohio: "Grain grown on this

Well Put.

Down with the liquor traffic, and
up with the liquor dealer" is the pur-
pose that animates the men and wom-
en- who are working for prohibition,
says the Union Signal. In all their
holy war they keep in mind not only
the salvation Of the men who have
been or may be tempted by liquor but
the redemption as we'll of individuals
engaged in the trade by forcing them
by law to engage in some business that
will permit them to recover their self
respect and earn clean money. The
attention of those misinformed people
who waste sympathy on the poor
liquor dealer whose business prohibi-
ton is supposed to destroy should be
directed to some of the many enter
prises that are taking the place OF the
old breweries and distilleries.
Especially notable is the success OF
the former Coors Brewery Of Colorado:
AS a beer factory it had a capital OF
100000; as q manufacturer of matted
milk and pottery, it enjoys a trade OF
$15O,0OO. It formerly had one sales
man where now it keeps twenty-eight
busy. It had payroll of eighty, and
now has one of 200, all receiving
Is per cent better pay. It would not
be difficult to multiply similar in
stances in other prohibition states.
Be assured that every one who helps
to secure for the state or the nation
the adoption of prohibition, thereby
forcing the liquor dealers to seek
decent and more, lucrative means of
livelihood, is placing them under a
debt Of eternal gratitude.
General Leonard Wood, commander
of Camp Funston, frequently has TAX
en- occasion to say in public addresses,
that the standards of living in Kansas
have not only increased the efficiency
of Kansas soldiers Is per cent, but
that the prohibitory and other welfare
laws Of the state have made It COM

truth is bitter and stirs to wrath And
mingled with other emotions was q
dull pang of jealousy-the first she

But one thing stood out clear above
that painful meeting. She war done

had been forced upon her that much

longed for him. for his CHEEKY voice,
the whimsical good humor of him. his
