RED LAKE COUNTY !. :.
IS MADE DRY
Saloons We're Closed Last Wednesday
By Order of the Minnesota
Public Safety Commission.

Red Lake county, the last wet coun-
ty in Northwestern Minnesota, was
made bone dry at noon on Wednesday
last week by an order of the Minnesota
Public Safety Commission. The order
came suddenly as a thunderbolt from
a clear sky. a number of deputies
were on hand at both Red Lake Falls
and Plummer to enforce the order Of
the commission and will stay on the
JoD as long as necessary. The order
closes at once five saloons and two
liquor houses in Red Lake Falls and
TWO saloons and two beer ware houses
IN the village Of Plummer, all licenses
being cancelled and the town authori-
lies prohibited from issuing new ones.
Dealers were given only ten days in
which to ship back their stocks into
wet territory by rail.
The order makes Red Lake county
dry during the period of the war and
Tor three months after peace treaties
are ratified, and by that time booze
will in all probability be banished from
the whole state.
The Minnesota Public Safety Com
mission announces that such steps were
taken because many thousands of peo-
pie declared that much liquor was be-
ing distributed from Red Lake Falls
and Plummer. Freight records show
ed, the board said, that more than 21S
tons of whiskey and about IS car loads
OF beer were delivered at Red Lake
Falls during the first six months of
this year. The railroad agent at
Plummer, a town Of $50 population,
told the commission that shipments to
LAT village during the past year total
lef~2,73S gallons Of whiskey, brandy,
gin, alcohol and wine, and 1OO,11S gal
Ions of beer.
When nearly the whole of Northern
Minnesota became "dry" three years
ago as result of the County Option
Law, Red Lake county voted to stay in
the wet colmun, and the two towns,
Red Lake Falls and Plummer, have
done large business supplying the
thirsty for hundreds Of miles around.
All roads leading to these towns were
at all times crowded with automobiles
carrying passengers anxious to Gill up
and bring back supplies: Many auto
mobile accidents were caused by
drivers more or less under the in
huence of liquor. The business became
more and more nuisance and
menace to the public welfare. The
commission declares that the sale of
liquor as it has been conducted in Red
Lake county ''has interfered with and
is interfering with the production of
food and with the health and good
habits of men Of draft age, and is in.
terfering with the efficiency of the ap-
plication of the military and civil and
industrial resources Of the states of
Minnesota and North Dakota"

CROPS AND THE WEATHER.

Harvesting is now practically finish
ed in the vicinity: Of Warren, but
farther south and east there is still
considerable grain vet to cut: Favor
able weather last week helped to adj
vance the work in good shape notwith-
standing the shortage of labor. A
soaking rain fell Monday night and con.
tinued nearly all day Tuesday. This
will delay harvesting for a short time
and threshing for few days. A num-
Der Of machines were ready to start
threshing when the rain came. What
little threshing has been done indicates
fair yield and grain of good quality.

LETTERS FROM THE
BOYS IN KHAKI

Sounds kind of funny, doesn't it?
1 believe you folks hear more about
the war news than we do as we don't
get no paper to read. I heard this
morning another boat was sunk on the
return trip. We can be glad we got
here safely. Hope you got the card
alright. 1t has been so long since I
have heard from you, isn't it? Hope
everything is alright and don't worry
about me, as they don't all get killed
that go to war. I have an easy adj
Dress, isn't it? Just A. E. F., France,
and think that will find me. Don't
know when I will get this mailed. It
is hard to write and get it mailed.
Well this will be all for this time,
and write often to your Soldier Boy.
With lots of love to all.
Your Son,
Leslie
Co. c., 55th Engrs.,

nave made overtures to the League re-

candidate in nominal ton for governor

HIduCe, July ~, 1918.
Dear Folks:
Well will try and write you again.
carried the other one two or three
days before I could get it mailed.
Well we left that other camp a few
days ago and came to this place. This
Is quite a ways from the other camp.
We came on train so we had a chance
to see lots of the country and some Of
the large cities. This country around
this camp is so different than the other
place. This is more like the western
states. The fields are a little larger
and the farmers are using binders to
harvest the wheat, oats and barley. 1T
is a good crop. But the land is so
stony, that they can't farm some of it.
It is dry here and much like Minnesota.
While at the other place it rained every
day and was so cold. This is not much
of a camp, just a few wooden shacks
and tents. We are still living in our
little tents. But rather like it except
WHEEL it rains r:
We just got here yesterday so haven't
got started with our engineer work yet.
There sure is enough of that kind of
work toido,, as these Trenches are so
far behind times OF course we have
no water supply or any Of the luxuries
of the camps in the States. So yester-
day our company went to a river and
bathed and washed our clothes. Yes,
I had to wash my clothes on stone
like the French do. Some job 1 say.
But we have to do it and put up with a
lot, that we wouldn't think of doing in
the States. Wish you could see some
Of these funny things.
There is an areoplane camp near
here, and you should see all the planes
that go over us here. They go in
flocks, like birds. So they are quite a
common thing.
1 cannot tell you just where we are
located but it is some little way from
the front yet. I have seen several Ger
man prisoners at work. They seem
perfectly contented. It is nice to talk
with some Of our lads that have just
come from the front. One can learn a
lot from them.
There is train loads coming from the
front and then they go back and rest
up. You folks get more Of the late
facts from the war, more than we do.
Just think, it is a month tomorrow
since we left Camp Custer and five
months Of army life for me. I ought
to be getting some mail soon. We miss
the Y. M. G. A. with all our paper and
envelopes. But there is a Y. man
comes out here once week and will
bring us a supply s..
You should see the funny looking
trains we ride in. The coaches are SC
small, about half the size Of American
coaches, and they are all divided in
apartments. And the. engines are sc
small and old fashioned. The Ameri
cans are putting up. some real trains
here and will show them thing OF
two. ~
As look out Of my tent I see 9
farmer cutting wheat with an ole
fashioned little 5-ft. binder, and he Il
going so slow one can hardly see hin
move. Most of the grain is cut with 8
sycthe and tied by hand. They also
raise black oats and two-row barley
which is a fair crop, but it has been tt
dry in this part of France There is 8
lad herding a bunch Of sheep on the
land that is too stony to farm. The
sheep are Of small breed with white
faces. Quite bit different than ours
