Hood and Voetter were charged with violation of the law governing the transportation of ex- plosives.
 Other overt acts included quota tiofs from letters exchanged between the men in custody here and those who were brought to trial in Chi cago on charges of a similar nature. The indictment charged that the men on trial here conspired with William D. Haywood, secretary of the organization. Frank II.

 It is a curious fact in nature that the reindeer is an innocent, confidine animal, utterly incapable of protect ing itself.

FEW CENTS RAISE
IN PRICE OF WHEAT

Farmers are to be allowed an in
crease in the price of wheat to equal
ize the advance in freight rates which
will go into effect June oath. A tele-
gram received this week from Mr..
Hoover reads as follows:
The advance in freight rates on the
oath of June will in justice to the
farmer necessitate an advance in the
price of wheat at the principal Mis-,
sissippi Valley and Eastern Terminals
a few cents bushel. The advance
will be worked out So as to equalize
as far as possible, the loss that the
farmers will otherwise incur through
the increase in rates.
Details of the rate advance will
probably not be known until June Is,
at which date we are assembling
committee of traffic experts to con-
slider what actual advances in price is
necessary as compensation. It is i'm
possible to complete such plan for
few days after the above date.
It is our intention, as far as the
peculiar character of the rate advance
enables us to do 50, to work out plan
that will leave the farmer in the same
intrinsic position that he was in be-
fore that date. Hoover.

REV. WEHRLE CALLS
TOWNLEY A TRAMP

Minot, Nd, June 14.-"I do not
care for their criticism, my duty is to
instruct Catholics under my jurisdic-
tion, and I had that end in view when
/ wrote and published the pamphlet, !"
asserted Right Rev. Vincent Wehrle,
bishop of Bismarck, when discussing
t''e greeting given his pamphlet on
North Dakota with a local newspaper
man today. Bishop Wehrle declared
some criticism has been directed to-
ward him by leaders of the Nonparti-
san league, but that shall not hinder
the performance of his duties which
are to teach those under his care.
The pamphlet has received very
general circulation. At the request of
Right Rev. Joseph Busch, bishop of
St. Cloud, Minn., the pamphlet was
sent to every priest in Minnesota.
Bishop Cloud has been very outspok-
en- against Townley and his candidate
for governor Of Minnesota, Lind
bergh. In recent speech the st.
Cloud prelate called Townley "bank-
rupt tramp from North Dakota
Lindbergh's many contributions to the
Menace and other radical anti Catho-
lie publications stamp him as an un-
welcome leader among the Catholic
farmers of Minnesota.

LINDBERGh DENIED
RIGHT TO SPEAK

Announcement was made in this cl:y
the latter part Of the week that Lind
bergh, Townley's candidate for gov
ernor Of Minnesota, would speak at
Chautauqua June 25th. Nearly every
resident insthis vicinity is familiar
with Lindbergh's record in Minnesota
and believe that his utterances have
bordered on disloyalty, if they have
not been unqualifiedly that, and as a
result protests were registered thick
and fast. It soon developed that Ed
gar LaRue, Secretary Of the Chautau-
qua association, was decidedly against
it and that majority of the board
held the same view. As result a
meeting was called at which time it
was definitely decided that this meet
ing was not to be tolerated. We con-
gratulate Mr.. LaRue and the board
for their action because if the good
people Of Minnesota refuse to hear
Mr.. Lindbergh air his views in his
home state we cannot see why anyone
should wish him showed onto us.
Events since that time have proven
that Mr.. Lindbergh must be radically
wrong in the, views that he holds to
poll SO small a vote in his home state
for governor in view Of the fact that
800 paid agitators and Yete solicitors
were able to drum up but handful
of votes for him.

!. S. OFFICER ARRESTS
spy IN PARIS CAFE

Paris, June 15.-One of the English
bars in the Montartre district was fill
ed with well dressed women and their
cavalier a few night ago.
Among the patrons were two smart
looking American officers. Suddenly
the door opened and a handsome young
girl 18 or SO, accompanied by man
dressed in the height Of fashion, en-
tered and took table.
The newcomers, ordered cocktails
and told the waiter to hurry as their
taxi was waiting outside.
But before the drinks were served
one Of the Americans walked over to
their table, quietly drew his revolver
and said Hands tp!"
His brother officer took out pair
of handouts and slipped them over
the mans wrists, after which he was
marched off to a taxi and taken to
prison.
He was famous German spy, and
the officers were two of the cleverest
detectives in Paris.

Mr.. and Mrs. R. G. Croell, who a
year ago were employed on this paper,
but since that time have been doing
the mechanical work on the Cando
Record, returned to Cando Friday.
Tehy have left the Record Office and
gone to work for the Cando Herald.
We congratulate Editor Dennison on
his good fortune in securing these two
very excellent people. Both are ex-
pert workers and highly popular wher-
ever they are known. Through their
untiring efforts they have brought
about great change in the Record as
regards the neatness and general as
pect of that publication and within
the next few weeks we expect to see
the Herald come out in first class
shape not that it is without merit at
present but we know that the Crow
ellis can still further improve its ap-

Several of our local merchants who
have been advertising in in Cando
have all patronized the Record, know
ing that they would have their ad set
up in an attractive manner. Now that

is probable that some Of this patron
age will follow them as they are both
we'll known to the business men of this

compelled to turn down a nice offer
from those in charge Of the festivities
which win be held at Starkweather on
the same day. The boys are in fine
