THIRSTY DAYS IN
STORE FOR STATE B
SAFETY COMMISSION DECIDES.
NOT TO INTERFERE WITH
EXISTING BUSINESS
NO NEW ENTERPRISES WILL BE
PERMITTED IN MINNESOTA
DURING WAR

By an order issued last Wednesday
the State Public Safety Commission
clamped the lid on tight on ffty-four
counties in the state. Tie order is
known as Order Fl and became effective
at once. Under former order four
counties were made bone dry so that at
the present moment there are ffty-eight
counties in the state which are affected
by the mandate which prohibits the
taking Of Intoxicating liquors into ter
ritory which is dry under county or local
option on Indian Treaties.
The sheriffs are directed to confscate
all liquors found in violation Of the
prohibition. This order in no way
affects the brewing of beer nor does it
GUST any saloon now in existence, and
will not affect the business of the brew
ers and saloons except as their business
may be curtailed by the order prohibit
ing the sale of liquor in counties which
have already gone dry.
There has been considerable agitation
for some time on the part Of the prohib-
ition forces demanding that the saloons
be all closed during the period Of the war
and countless petitions were presented
to the Safety Commission. After a
careful survey of the whole proposition
the Commission decided that at this
time it was not necessary to place the
ban on the sale of liquor in wet territory.
At the same meeting the Safety Com
mission passed resolution putting a
ban on new enterprises and improve
ments, both public and private, saying
that none such must be undertaken and
that no new banks shall be organized
during the war. These measures, it
is deemed, were adopted for the purpose
of preventing increased taxation and also
for lessening the demands on the money
market at the present tine. Sz55Fss
Whether or not this new order will
affect the building of tie city hall this
year waits to be seen. There has been
a general feeling prevalent for some tine
that it might be just as well to wait
with building tie city hall until con-
ditions are again normal and building
materials can be secured at reasonable
prices. With cheaper building material
it might be possible also TO have the
building erected on a corner site which
the majority Of the citizens seems to
favor +.

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE WILL.

What promises to be mighty i'm
portant case and one. which may bring
the Non-Partisan league to the attention
Of the United States supreme court, is
the action wi icl had it's beginning in
jackson county last Wednesday when
Joseph Gilbert, organizer for the Non.
Partisan league was arrested and charged
with creating an unlawful assemblage.
The officials at tie Headquarters of
tie Non-P Partisan League at st. Paul
Rave inquired whether Gilbert will ke5
charged with creating an unlawful
|assemblage or whether he will be ac-
cused Of a felony. A report comes
from Jackson county that the authorities
there are fully determined to prosecute
the case to the full extent Of their ability
and means, and it is evident from the
league officials that that organization
is going to defend Gilbertsand will carry
the case to the highest court in the land
if necessary to reach a decision as to
whether public meetings can be held.
Gilbert made the statement to the
Jackson county officials that the question
Of WI ether tie Non-Pa artisan league
could hold meetings would be taken to
President Wilson if necessary.
HI Shortly after his hearing before a
justice in Lakefeld, Gilbert and his
assistants We're called to St Paul by

PROGRESSIVE PLANS PROPOSED
FOR CONDUCT OF FUTURE
BUSINESS
CUSTOMERS MUST PAY 10 CENTS
FOR EACH DELIVERY
GROCER MAKES

War may bring about an improve
ment in New Ulm which has long been
contemplated by grocery men but which
has always been prevented by more or
less petty jealousy This is the CO.
operative delivery plan whereby one
delivery line takes care Of all deliveries
for the grocers instead Of each store
keeping its own car or horse. It is not
positively settled yet that this change
will be made but committee has been
appoint ed by the merchants to investigate
the advantages Of the plan and report at
a meeting to be held in tie future. The
members Of the committee are II. P.
Bastian, John Brey, Georle .Fesenmaier,
Art Janka and w. H. Bierbaum.
This action was taken at a meeting of
the merchants Of New Ulrn held at the
Commercial Club Rooms last Wednes-
day evening. Some two dozen of the
business men of New Ulm were present
and formed an association to be known
as the New Ulm Food Dealers and Cen
eral Merchants. Association. The inn
mediate purpose of this association is
to assist in carrying out the necessary
conservation plans of the Government to
prevent waste and to keep prices where
they belong. The organization is the
result of the suggestions made by Judge
F. E. Wilson who addressed a meeting
here two weeks ago. Tie association
chose the following officers: VIM. A.
Pfeferle, pres, Carl F.. Crone, sec'y.,
and VIM. A. Durbahn, treas.
The New Ulm merchants decided on
the "cash and carry" plan and 5 per
cent discount will be. given to such
customers as pay cash, beginning Feb
ruary 18th. Commencing on that date
also, 10 cents will be added to each order
which is delivered, so if a housewife
wants to buy cent box of matches
(Which are Z cents, by the way, at the
present ti1ne) they will cost her IL
cents if she has the delivery man bring
them for her.. All the merchants, as
well as the grocers are subscribing to:
the agreement and it is the plan to have
each put up $50 forfeit for violation of
the agreement. They have also decided
on shorter working day and will close
their places Of business sharp at 6 clock.
For the next two months they will also
close Saturday evenings at 9 o'clock but
after April l, they will again have a
longer Saturday altho. it is expected that

WERE FINED SIS

George Suess and his three sons,
formerly OF Ridgely township, Nicollet
county and now living in Brown county,
were placed under arrest for having
illegally removed property from this
county to Brown county, on which an
attachment had been levied. They were
taken to St. Peter for trial. The family
had been renting the La Framboise farm
in Ridgely township for the past year,
but moved to new location in Brown
county this fall, having a quantity OF
corn and hay on the Ridgely farm, to be
hauled to their new location later. Pc
fore the property was hauled away, how
ever, writ of attachment was issued
against the property by Sheriff Olson.
In the mean time the Suess family had
arranged for a hauling bee and on this
occasion took several loads of tie corn
and hauled it across the river to their
place in Brown county. The man in
charge of the attached property notified
Deputy Sheriff Kienler of what had taken
place, who notified Sheriff Olson, who in
turn instructed tie deputy to stop the
removal, which he did vixen the Suess
people came back for a second trip.
Sheriff Olson thereupon swore out a
complaint, warrant was issued for their
arrest and they were brought to St.
Peter for trial. TEey readily admitted
the hauling, but claimed that tie. corn
was needed for their stock and was
therefore exempt from attachment. A
jury was summoned which after hearing
the evidence found the defendants guilty
as charged, whereupon the Justice I'M
posed fine of SIS and costs. Defendants
then filed an appeal to the district court.

The ear trouble which is so prevalent
the direct result of bad throat condi-
lions which are caused by the dust and
the cold nights following the warm days.
Rheumatic fever is also the result of
the sudden changes of temperature.
It is thot that the dust is also to blame
for the numerous cases of Erysipelas.
The latter, Of course, is contagious
disease and if man has it those coming
into contact with him are very apt to
develop it. Camp Cody has had eighty

Camp Cody and Camp Pike did not get
so good a record from Governor Burn

San Diego, California, is said to be
the most nearly ideal of the places visited
and is recommended as the point to
which Minnesota soldiers might we'll be
removed. Camp Cody seems to have
shown up the poorest and it is recon-

The members of the commission who
made the investigation were Governor
Burnquist, Chas. H. March, from the
Safety Commission, Attorney General
Lyndon A. Smith, Adjutant General
Rhinow and DR.. O. w. Holcomb.
1t seems that there is some objection
to the waether practically in all camps
visited except at Camp Kearney. At
Camp Dodge it was snow and cold, at
Camp Cody it was dust, at Fl. Winfield
Scott it was fogs; at Camp Lewis it was
the rain, and at Camp Pike it was slush.
In general it may be said that the camps

may have different story to tell after
awhile.
The committee said that unless the
dust at Camp Cody could be eliminated
by oiling all OF the streets and the open
ground about the camp, the place should
be abandoned and the soldiers trans
ferred to Camp Kearney.
Camp Cody is located on soil that is
sandy and the drill grounds are covered
with sand several inches deep. At
times the air is so filled with the thin
sandy dust that one can not see more
than a foot or two in front of his face.
The tents and buildings become so
covered with this dust that it is impossible
to keep them clean.
Nearly every man spoken to COM
planned of this condition which is as
gravated greatly by tie necessity of
constant drilling which raises the clouds
Of dust which the men must inhale.
The water supply at Camp Cody is
good but tie sewerage system is poor.
The lighting system is also poor the
men being obliged to use candles in
the tents. Heating is secured by tie
burning of wood in small stoves. No
complaint was made of the food and
there seems to be plenty of it.
Hospital conditions at Camp Cody
are said to be altogether inadequate.
There is one doctor to fifty patients.
The registered nurses number about
one to each twenty-four patients and
there are number of male attendants
but most of them are inexperienced.
The sick men said that they had been
kindly treated by both doctors and
