A woman suggests that since the
women are asked to do SO much
conserving the men might do a little
conserving on their own account.
She makes a speech and then goes

why don't you lords of creation
do something yourselves? Why
don't you have cigarless and sstobac-

much to US women why don't you
organize a week Of no tobacco, no
down town lunches, no treating and

ResuItof the Trials on Disloyalty
Charges In Martin
County

Fairmont February Henry
Krause of Triumph was found guilty
of disloyalty by district court jury.
The jury was out only one hour. 1t
was expected that Judge Dean would
sentence Krause late todaf.
He was found guilty of making the
following statement to Deputy Sher-
iff A. A. Harris:
Harris, / want you to sell my
farm and sell it quick. want to go
back to Germany to fight the God
damned Yankees"
Krause denied making the state
ment, but the jury decided that Mr..
Harris would have no reason to cook
up such a charge against any man,
and quickly returned verdict.
The statement is one of the most
traitorous and reasonable made by
any of the men accused of disloyalty.
Marion Johnson of Westford, who
was accused of saying that Secretary
McAdoo received 100000 for float
ing the Liberty loan was acquitted

such a statement, asserting that he
merely asked H. E. Wolfe, a Liberty
loan solicitor, if there was any truth
in such a story which he said he had
hear or read somewhere.

FORBID LEAGUE MEETS
Sheriff Livingston, Rice County,
Puts Quietus On Organizing
Activities

Nom Partisan league organizers
were shown very plainly yesterday
that their presence will not be toler-
ated in Rice county and that any at
tempts to further league propaganda
will be met with arrest and prosecu-
tion by the county authorities. Sher-
iff Charles Livingston is standing be-
hind the order he made public a few
days ago and states that he will not
allow any activity by this organiza-
ton, says The Faribault Republican.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Livingston
received word that league organizer
was working in the vicinity of Nor
ristown and at once left to apprehend
the man. He found that the organiz-
er, c. A. Beresdorf of North Dakota,
was new man in Rice county at the
work and that he had heard nothing
of the order forbidding organizing
work by Non Partisan men.
No members had been secured thus
far and Mr.. Livingston gave Beres-
dorf to understand that he would not
be arrested under the circumstances
providing he stopped work at once
The sheriff stated that it was only the
fact that the organizer was unac-
quainted with the circumstances thai
he allowed him to go free and thai
any others who come to the county
for this purpose will have to face {
charge if they persist in the work.
