Peter watched for q long time and

He was sure that by this time Reddy

Poke lay. By this time Peter was

Why Slow Poke Is Called a
Box Turtle.

Slow Poke the Turtle continued on
his way down the Lone Little Path
through the Green Forest and Peter
watched him. Peter would have liked
to walk along with him. but to have
saved his life he couldn't have moved
along as slowly as Slow Poke did.
Peter nearly choked with laughter
every time he thought of how Slow
Poke had said that he was in a hurry
and actually seemed to mean it.
Peter went over to a little bramble
tangle where he could sit in perfect

down the Lone Little Path. 1t took
Slow Poke a long time to reach the
next turn in the Lone Little Path
around which Peter could not see from
where he sat. Just as Slow Poke
reached this turn some one came trot-
ting swiftly down the Lone Little
Path past the brAmble tangie. A
Peter. 1t was Reddy Fox. Peter was
very thankful that he had crept into
the bramble tangle instead OF going
on down the Lone Little Path.
For the time being Peter forgot all
about Slow Poke the Turtle. Reddy
pretended that he was going to try

reached Slow Poke he stared as IL
his eyes would pop out OF hts head.
Slow Poke was on his back. but there
was absolutely nothing to pe seer t.,
him except his shell. That shell was
different from the shell of Spotty the
Turtle. with whom Peter was SO well
acquainted. II closed up just like a
box. Peter understood now why Slow
Poke was called n Box Turtle.

He knew that Reddy wouldn't run the

Reddy didn't. He told Peter what he
would do to him IL ever he caught him
and then trotted on down the Lone

next turn when Peter remembered
Slow Poke. Peter gave great start.
"Reddy Fox will see him and catch
him." exclaimed Peter. That fellow
can't run II he tries! It's too late for
him to hide now and 1 am afraid,
dreadfully afraid. that something is
going to happen to him."
Watching from the bramble tangle
Peter saw Reddy Fox quicken his

l wonder if people like that ever
stop to think of what that dear old
song means to us who are dying for
you folks? Oh yes we lose them as
well as the Huns.
In the first place he should have
volunteered a year ago, if he had the
bit of manhood in him. l really hope
they don't let him back in High
school, he is a man without a coun-
try.
In little town we bows have
adopted a little boy for mascot. He
has both hands cut off at the wrists

enough when we think of him. This

Carver. II went to Mr.. Lindbergh
and asked him If it was to be Non
partisan league meeting. He said II
was and arrested him before he had
an opportunity to speak"
About 500 farmers, including prob
ably $50 or 200 league members,
many from Watonwan county, were on
hand when Sheriff Carver and mem :
bers of the rural guards appeared in
automobiles.
Mr.. Lindbergh had not begun his
speech when the warrants were
served. He made no protest and
outside of the disturbance created by
Olson there was no disorder.
Mr.. Lindbergh was brought to Fair
mont and arraigned before Justice j.
A. Everett. At his own request trial
was fixed for June 20. He was re-
leased on $1,000 bonds furnished by
]. Il. and r. J. Ruble of East Chain,
who are reported to have Joined the
league at Saturdays meeting.
Charlie Lindbergh Makes Statement.
81 am not a member of the Non
partisan league" Mr.. Lindbergh said,
after the arraignment, "but am run
ming as republican. The league
merely Endorsed me have not spoken
on the league in any of my addresses
and did not know the gathering to-
day was billed as a league meeting.
81 realize that some people in per-
fectly good faith may be against the
things they think I stand for, but
there is no 100 per cent American
against the things l actually do stand
for"
Lindbergh was to leave here tonight
for Madelia, thirty miles ncrth, to
catch train for the twin cides.
There will be no Nonpartisan
league meetings in this county as
long as Townley and Gilbert are un-
der charges of disloyalty," said Sher-
if Carver "It doesn't make any diff
ference whether it is a candidate for
governor or candidate for constable.
There will be time enough for these
meetings when the courts rule
whether Townley and Gilbert are to
be cleared of the sedition charges
against them"

Buck. .a
Rosenwald was killed, according
to the letter, while he was riding
horseback. The highway was shelled
A major riding beside him was un-
hurt.
Bucks letter in part follows:
I'VE had quite sad happening this
morning We lost one of our best
medical officers, Lieutenant Rosen-
valid. One of the main travelled
roads was shelled pretty bad, and
Rosey and the major happened to
be going along it on horseback Ro-
sey was bumped and Haskins un-
touched. He died before he got to
the hospital. One of our medical
men, Johnson, was wounded in the
right hand by a spare part. This
makes two out of the corps, as we
lost Sergeant Peterson couple of
months ago. But believe me little
Roger is looking after himself the
best he ever did. Well, to go into
further details about it which con-

way, an arrangement was perfected. with the sanction of the government whereby jobbers approved of by the committee were allowed to purchase copper by the carload at the estab- lished price of 231s cents, and distri- bute it among their customers at a gross profit of per cent, which made the price to the smaller consumers 240715 cents a pound.
 In some way those dealers who held contracts for copper at prices above 23k cents, and who could not dispose of it at the so-called legal price with out serious loss managed to get rid of it quietly though without direct permission, so that as the year closed, the market was undisturbed by fric- tion or irregularities of any kind.
