PRIVATE A. R. WEED
WRITES FROM SOUTH
Soldiers Enjoyed Trip to Camp
WadsWorth; Praise For
Red Cross

Camp Wadwsorth, S. c., July 28.-
We finally got here about 1880 this
(Sunday) morning and the whole
bunch was glad to get somewhere aft
er the long trip. We were well taken
care of on the trip though and en-
joyed it.
We got another excellent send-off
at Milwaukee where the Red Cross
served us on our journey. The Red
Cross is everywhere. At all the large
cities where we stopped the workers
met us with cigarettes, postcards
and everything else to help US on
our way.
We saw a good deal of country on
the way down, but nowhere did the
crops look any better nor the land any
richer than that of Southern Mime
sofa. We passed through the Delt
in Indiana which was so heavily
frosted in June and things looked
pretty bad there. Went through
some very beautiful country in Ken
lucky and Tennessee among the
Cumberlands. They used three
engines to get us up one grade.
Our camp is dandy and officers
and all that we have seen so far are
fine. We can't tell much about oul
work now but our places of living
are fine and eats are great.
We didn't have any sickness on the
train and everyone got here in fine
condition. The boys certainly appre
ciated the send off in Mankato anG
were particularly thankful for thu
comfort kits which the Red Cross
gave us. We all expect to like il
when we get used to it and there
surely is everything here that VIZ
could ask for.
Sincerely yours, Private A. r

Captain Herbert Hauck Gives
Statement to M. {. c.
met TO TALK IT OVER
Splendid Accounting Is Given BY
Officer; News From Bust
ness Organization

The committee on welfare of Com
pany H, of the Commercial club, held
a meeting yesterday with Captain
Herbert Hauck of Company H, who
is home from Camp Cody for a brief
furlough. Captain Hauck presented a
full financial statement of the use that
has been out to the S2,306.67 that was
raised in this city and vicinity for
the company fund. A good deal has
been spent for various purposes, and
the receipts have been Increased by
the camp caiiteen, which is expected
to keep the company fund replenished
after this. There is now on hand in
the company fund $1,336.9S. The
committee accepted the report. Cap
tain Hauck said that he did not think
that the people of Mankato would be
called upon again for assistance for
the company fund. The company is
now pretty well scattered, so far as
the original membership that left
Mankato is concerned. A good many
of the members have been detached to
help fill UP other organizations, and
men from lsewhere have been put in
Company H. About forty of the men
are still left. Just when they will be
ordered to go across is not certain.
The boys are all well.
At the request of the Commercial
club, Secretary of State Schmahl has
arranged for w. o. Larson of the
state examining board for candidates
for chauffeurs' licenses to be in Man
kato riday, August 8, to give another
examination to candidates. There wiz
be a number to be examined at this
time. Those in surrounding villages
should also come in. Another exam
ination cannot be secured until late
in the fall.
Members of the Automobile club
who have not yet placed their club
emblems on their wind shields are
urged to do so as soon as possible.
IL all put them on, more than 250
Mankato cars alone will have them,
which will be great advertisement
to the city.
The suggestion has been made that
black walnut trees be planted along
the $50 miles of the Lincoln highway
across Iowa. Such suggestion would
be very good one for Minnesota
where walunts grow well. There is a
demand for the nuts and also for the
wood. The government is securing
the entire country now for the wood
for gun stocks.

conclusively and should put an end to
the circulation of the malicious lies
concerning an institution which is a

information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the party or parties
who recently originated and circulat-

Hubbard Milling Campony, Man.
kato, Minnesota, Gentlemen:
We were certainly surprised when
Mr.. Palmer called us on the phone
this morning and informed us
that reports had been circulated
to the effect that your mill had
been closed by the food admins
tration for profiteering. We need
not say that this report is abso-
luteIy with out foundation so far
as this office is aware. The rec
ord of your company with respect
to prompt, willing and patriotic
compliance with the food ad-
ministration regulations has been
an enviable one and we have no
idea where such rumors could
have originated.
We therefore hasten to assure
you that SO far as this office is
concerned there is no complaint
whatever against your company
as to it's compliance with the food
administration regulations, and
we believe that if there had been
any suspicion of violation this Of
flee would have been the first to
hear of it.
In fact, it seems appropriate at
this time, when closing the work
of the first year of the milling
division of the food administra-
ton, to take occasion to thank
Mr.. Palmer and his associates
for the loyal and willing co-opera-
ton which we have relieved from
them during the past year. We are
especially grateful for the large
percentage of your output which
you furnished for the use of the
army and navy and the allies in the
European war. We are glad to
take this opportunity to assure
you of our continued regard and
to thank you for your co-opera-
ton. Very truly yours, United
States Food Administration, Mill
ing Division.

manager.

Minneapolis Agency, Flour Elk
change, July 80, 1918.-Hubbard
Milling Company, Mankato, Mimi,
Gentlemen: In reply to an in
quiry made by your Mr.. G. NJ.
Palmer as to your standing with
the food administration, will say
that all through the past year
the relations between your office
and the food administration have
been highly satisfactory. There
has never been a time since
the food administration
started that there was ever a
question raised as to your bust
ness methods or as to the observ-
ance of the rules and regulations
of the administration. You have
always been very quick to COM
ply with any request or sugges-
ton made by this office and it
has been a real pleasure to do
business with you along the high
lines that your methods have
made possible. We have never
heard any complaint from any
source regarding excess prices
or excess profits, and this office
has never found it necessary to
discipline your company in any
way, and your mill has never
been closed on any order from
this office.
We sincerely regret the neces-
sity for furnishing this letter
but we are more than glad to do
so if it will be of any service to
you. Yours very truly, United
States Food Administration

TWO MORE HUDSONS
 TAKEN UP ID CAMP

Dealers conceed that a car which makes good in the Ray region must de- liver the goods. For that reason Cal Messner feels a bit chesty from the fact that two more Hudson Super Six speedsters have, gone into the Ray camp because of the fine showing cars of that make have made in this hilly region.
 Mrs. Bob Hilton bought Hudson speedster last week and drove it to Ray herself making the trip without incident and in remarkably good time for brand new car. Linn Thomasson is another Ray resident who took a Hudson SuperSix speedster up to camp last week.
 |. A third sale marked the week as a good one for the Messner force. This sale also that of a speedster, was made to Wallace Miller of Tempe. who is extensively interested in cotton. The, new speedster has very evident ly made a most decided hit in this section and Cal Messner is having more difficulty in getting cars than he is finding in selling those he is able | to get.

The Brown Dryer people are more than ever convinced that the sturdy Chevrolet "490" will deliver the goods after looking over car of that kind and model which Frank Lowdenbeck of Prescott, Kansas, has driven to this city from that mid western state. Mir. Lowdenbeck with his wife and daughter not only made the long journey with no trouble but also made so many side trips while on the tour that they can hardly remember all of the places visit ed and the little Chevrolet came through it all with flying colors
 The sturdy little car piled up 2o0O miles of mileage on the trip to Phoenix and aside from three punctures there were no car troubles. The machine was heavily loaded as the party camped by the way. The camping MT. Lowden beck says was the most fun of the journey and the car and the way it per formed was a constant joy.
 In coming west the party came by way of Trinidad, Dodge City, Albu. auerque, Springervile and Winslow

NEW OLDSMOb|LE |S PUT THROUGH TEST
 WITH FINE RESULT

Although 1t is always considered policy to thoroughly loosen up an en- tirely new car on fairly good roads and at a speed to not exceed 20 miles per hour for the first 500 miles that the car travels, but the Ferguson Keeler company are just in the pos session Of information Regarding a long run that has entirely offset this practice.
 According to MT. Ferguson, about two months ago a new Oldsmobile Six roadster was purchased from them and was run by the new owner only a very short distance before he decided to make a tour of every point of interest in the northern part of the state. The six was loaded with camping material, weighing approximately 700 pounds and the trip was started. All regard as to newness of the car was ignored. Smooth roads were covered at 35 miles per hour while hills of every descrip- tion were to a great extent taken on the run in nigh.
 The route carried the party to sor;c Of the most remote parts of rorthern Arizona where heavy rains were en- countered causing the car to plow fai miles through gumbo mud up to the hubs. The run consumed over tive wesks and the car was subjected to every conceivable abuse.
 Upon the cars return 1t was found that the Oldsmobile was in perfect condition. Not one particle of trouble was experienced. The motor of the car was in a perfect smooth condition and the tires had not been touched. -.
 Mir. Ferguson believes this showing Is due to the substantially and over strength of the sturdy Oldsmobile.

 Mir Collins further says: An in- crease in the number of new Cadillac owners is not now a matter which gives the Cadillac company any es- pecial concern.

W|NTON LOOKS LIKE
 NEW AFTER BIG TRIP

Looking almost as though it had been for a short country trip in stead of a run from the Pocific coast a Winton Six rolled into Phoenix and the Culbertson Motor company es- tablishment last week. It was a brand new car, purchased through the Gull bertson people and delivered in Los Angeles to Frank Fogel of Tempe. Mir. Fogal drove the car over here with never a minute of trouble.
 The car was driven 53S miles on the way over and made the trip on 4S gal Ions of gasoline, a remarkable showing for a car of the size and power of the Winton. The trip was made by Needles, Parker, Rouse and Buckeye and it took but two days to get here from Los An Eeles.
 The new car has the individual touch of all Wintons and Mir. Fogal has shown remarkably good taste in the combination he selected both in colors and finish. It is 33 six for six passen- gers and aside from a touch here and there from a passing bush one would never know that the trip has been made for the superior finish has withstood the hard journey in remarkable style
