JUST A LITTLE TOO coNFIDING
Confidence Game Played on a Former
VernOnite

From the Soughton Hub we repro
duce the following, which tells of an
experience and escapade of a former
Vernon county young man:
HIS unsuspeeting trust in an aequainta nee
with whom he went to Milwaukee, Saturday
afternoon, cost Henry Bolstad. a young man
at present employed here. $50 in cash and quite
a little personal property which he has but
little hope of recovering. Bolstad. who is not
yet Il years cid, and has his home in ViroQua,
has worked at the StOughtou wagon works
the past four months. and there became ac-
puainted with young man, Carl Over mark,
who. he thinks, came here from Hutchinson,
Mimi. OvermaTk quit at the wagon plant
some three weeks ago and secured work on a
farm, but last Saturday afternoon he and
B0lstad both went to Milwaukee where they
hoped TO get better wages.
Boistad returned last night, a sadder and
wiser man. He informs that he and Over
marx engaged a room at hotel, Saturday
night, but when he awoke he found his room
mate gone and with him S39 in money taken
from his suitcase. together with his gold
watch valued at S35, n meensehaum pipe, a
gold stick pin, and a Ben Hur watch fob.
BOlstad was informed by the landlady that
Overuark had left the hotel at about five
O'Clock in the morning. He reported the theft
to the police authority. but says that ac-
count of it being Sunday. he could not swear
out a warrant for Overmark's arrest. Boil
stad apparently has had enough Of Milwaukee,
and is satisfied 20 stay in small but safe
place, for he is going to remain at his work
here.

ARE SEEKERS OF PUBLIC FAVOR
Candidates. Announced for Various
Political Stations

in another part of the Censor is
published the formal announcement Of
Senator j. Henry Bennett that he
has concluded to stand for the Gus.
| tomary denomination and endorse
ment for state senator from this dis
trict, which is composed of Vernon,
Jackson and Monroe counties. On
the surface there appears to be no
opposition to Senator Benefits re-
nomination and election, and there is
no occasion for such if efficient and
acceptable service Is to be rewarded.
AT best, the position is one that does
cot pay the legitimate expense one
must incur to be elected and sustain
himself during the long months that
must bedevoted to legislative sessions,
not counting the value of ones time.
Senator Bennett was attentive to
the demands of his constituents and
his record on pending legislation was
such that it can be fully endorsed
One piece of progressive republican
legislation which he championed and
was instrumental in putting OF the
statute books brings saving 10 the
people of the state of two to three
million dollars annually, according to
Former Insurance Commissioner Elk
ern. 1t authorizes and directs the in
surance department of the state to
control and fix rates for all insurance.
This is a single instance, of which
there are innumerable ones, that re-
present Senator Benefits legislative
service during his term now closing.
On all other matters he was equally
responsive to the square deal.
Assemblyman Carter, today formal
Iy commits to his constituents his
candidacy for reelection. On all the
mpral and aggressive issues in the
last legislative session he stood four
square, voting his best judgment on
all occasions without fear or favor.
Two years ago he was elected on the
issue of greater economy in public
affairs, and he personally bent every
etssSss-t &c that end. He is no less de-
termined along those lines today. If
conscientious service Is what the peo-
pie desire there should be no opposi-
ton to the denomination of Assembly
man Clarence H. Carter.
In the proper column Mr.. Melvin
c. knudson of Chaseburg announces
that he viii be candidate for regis
ter of deeds at the approaching pri-
mary He is a well-known young
man off Hamburg, having been an eff
ficieut treasurer of the town for two
or three years. Mr. Knudson was
among the contingent of young sol
diers who left the county May 4, but
was discharged from Columbus Bar
racks for physical reasons.

GAVE SEVERE LETTING ALONE
The Way Seighboring Counties Treat
ed PenuriOus Slackers

The Jackson County Journal relates
what happened to two farmers in a
neighboring county who refused to
buy Liberty bonds A few days later,
when they hauled their milk to a
cheese factory, the factory refused to
take it. They tried other factories,
and at each place they were declined
the privilege of selling. Nothing was
said. nothing was done by the neigh
bors but to give the two farmers a
severe letting alone. 1t was only a
few days until those two farmers
were Scratching graveP IN several
directions at once, trying to purchase
bonds and square themselves with
their neighbors. They finally sue
ceeded in getting matters adjusted so
that they can again make use of the
business facilities of the community,
but it will probably be many years
before they recover from the reputa-
tion as slackers which they made for
themselves. This is cold world for
slackers, and it is getting colder right
along. In Germany they imprison
them or shoot them, which ever is
more convenient We are not in Ger
many, but the man who falls to do
his duty in the world crisis, in which
the happiness and prosperity of our
people are at stake, will ffnd that the
face of public opinion has all the dam
gers of firing squad and more.
