the law in organizing their store.
The jealous mercantile competi-
tors of the cooperative movement
are charged with misrepresenting
facts to an agent of the Minnesota
State Safety commission to swear
out warrant for Mr.. Boelke's ar
rest on charge of violating the
so-called "Blue-Sky" law.
A warrant was issued late one
Saturday afternoon, presumably
to secure Mr.. Boelke's arrest at
too late an hour to get bail, there
by compelling him to stay in jail
over Sunday.
The sheriff said that he would
not, stand for any such outrage,
therefore refrained from serving
the papers until the next Monday.
At that time, several of the most
Influential farmers were clamor-
ing for the honor of signing Mr..
Bo>lke's bonds.
The Cooperative wholesale So
ciety of St. Paul hired Tom Sulli-
van to fight the case for the farm
ers. When all, the facts were
brought to light, the county at
torney refused to prosecute and
the case ended right then and
there. .s*.
Ever since,' the cooperative
store at Stewart has been success
fully conducted. The jealous,
small-minded merchants, who
tried to prosecute, if not persecute,
Mr.. Boelke, are receiving severe
punishment in the form Of lost
trade. j.. =, .- -. -:
The Stewart episode stirred up
other communities in that part of
Minnesota and other cooperative
undertakings have sprung up.
Winthrop farmers have organized
and will open a $4,000 co-opera-
tive store, Farmers at Young
America already h1ve pledged
$4,000 and soon will incorporate.

sunny afternoon to hand out copies
Of the Great Family Journal, not
to engage in bloody bouts. He
dropped his bundles, circled out of
Peterson's way and waited the next
move of the wold raiders from
Bingoland. ,.-<
: Just then a street car stopped at
the corner. Peterson and Fisher
looked around and Billy Badd took
opportunity to snatch up his papers
and make dash for the vestibule
Of the waiting trolley car.
With howls of rage, the two sbruis-
ers made dashes after the Rip-saw
representative. They grabbed his
papers and threw them into the
street. The conductor, by request.
picked them up and put them back.
Peterson made another dash. His
eyes were red with blood and booze.
He grabbed hold of the corner of
the overcoat of the object of his as
sault and tried to drag >him from
the car. Fisher again grabbed a
bundle Of papers and pulled it of
the car.
Billy Badd took firm hold of
the rods at the back of the vesti-
bule. Lifting himself of his feet,
he swung them out quickly and with
terrific force, implanted sledge-ham-
mer kicks right in the middle Of
Peterson's booze-laden tummy.
Big Chris. Peterson, who expected
to fairly eat up the Rip-saw man,
went flying head over heels through
the air. When he came down, he
hit the icy street with great force
and effect, as Archie Mckay might
say. The kick and the fall laid out
the hardest man to handle in all

Fisher made dash for the vesti-
bule, essaying to save the battle for
his poor old partner in crime.
Bill Badd then began to be
bad. He pulled out a knife that
was a real knife and stood ready to
cut Frank Fisher up into cat meat
II he persisted in his assault.
A private Rip-saw Inspector
jumped between Billy Badd and
Frank Fisher. He cautioned care.
Fisher was booted or the car. The

NAME ON WOODEN
CROSS TELLS HIM
OF ALDRICH'S FATE

To the parents of William Aid
rich, who gave his life overeeas in
the toll extracted of Rock Island
by the war, not many weeks ago a
telegram from the war; department
was sent announcing to them that
their son had made the supreme
sacrifice, but to Wagner Louis
Ruben, another Rock Island lad.
now in France, the information of
Aldrich's death came in a most un-
expected manner.
In the war-swept fields Ruben
came across a wooden cross, which
bore the name of William Aldrich.
Wagner Ruben tells of the incident
in a letter to his brother, Abe Ru-
ben, 219 Seventeenth street, as fol-
lows:
Yes, Abe, ! knew Bill Aldrich
was dead for I accidentally came
across his grave, but was not quite
sure that it was Bill. l stopped the
truck on the road between Cunel
and ROMANCE to get some water
for the radiator and there was a
hole made by a shell just in front
Of four graves. When l got the wa
ter out of the shell hole l noticed
his name on a wooden cross"

State Council Of Defense Calls for
Licensing All Charities Con-
Quoting Drives.

Peace-time protection for pocket
books which have opened SO freely
to charity and relief appeals dur
ing the war is the aim OF a reso-
luton OF the state council OF de-
Tense asking the state legislature
to enact laws which VIII put all
public solicitation Of funds for aid
and relief purposes under state
supervision.
During the period Of the war
and until peace is procIamed-al
war aid and relief projects in Hi
nois except those officially recog-
nized by the United States govern
ment have been required by law d.
secure a license from the sta-2
council OF defense before collect
ing funds from the public. These
projects have been carefully IN
vesdgated by the state council
license committee before they have
been licensed.
The resolution or the state coun-
Gil is as follows:
Because worthy aid and relief
projects, depending for support
upon funds secured by public sub
5cription, are prejudiced and dam
aged by the ease with which frau
duIent aid and /relief projects can
be exploited in normal times. and
because it is desirable uIat funds
contributed for aid and relief
should be used in great part for
aid and relief purposes, instead or
being diverted to pay eNLTavagdut
'commissiong' or wasted IN eNCer-
sive costs Of administration, it Us
the sense OF this council that So
Iicitation OF funds by public sub
scription of every character should
be under state supervision and
that all unauthorized and un-
licensed public solicitation Of
funds by public subscription OF
every character should be under
state supervision and that all uu-
authorized and unlicensed public
solicitation OF funds, or the equiva-
lent, should be prohibited under
proper penalties.

ISLANDER WRITES
OF XMAS ENJOYED
BY WOUNDED MEN

That wounded Yanks in France
enjoyed a real Christmas similar
to that which they would have en-
joyed in the states is the assertion
Of Private Ralph Dobbs, formerly
commercial agent OF the Central
Union Telephone company in Rock
Island, now stationed at Allerey,
France, as switchboard operator
at a telegraph and telephone ex-
change in a signal corps detach-
ment. Private Dobbs writes to his
wife, Mrs. Ralph Dobbs, 1900 Fifth
avenue. He enlisted in the army
April 10, 1918. In his letter he en-
closes a clipping. from a Paris
newspaper, describing the Yuletide
made possible for the wounded
American soldiers. The clipping
follows:
Not only in Paris has every eff
fort been made to give the Ameri-
can boys a full Christmas week
such as they have at home but in
every village in France where an
American soldier or sailor could
be found Merry Christmas has
been carried out with real feeling.
Reports are coming in from all the
big American hospitals in central
France OF the Christmas festivities.
AT Allerey, which is one OF the
big American hospital centers, the
Christmas spirit reigned supreme
and the $4,000 wounded soldiers
almost forgot that they had been
making a desperate effort to re-
gain their strength with the hope
of being able to reach home by
Christmas.
"AIlerey is little city OF Ameri-
can hospitals built off from the
beaten track, making it appear a
most dreary and desolate spot, but
the hospitals are so well organized
and the wounded soldiers so we'll
cared for that the location makes
little difference. The camp COM
prises seven hospitals with an aver
age of 1900 beds each in wooden
barracks which have been built by
the Americans. Upon approaching
it one sees vast expanse of these
barracks all Of uniform size with
the same outlook OF more barracks
Months ago Allerey was the
largest hospital in the world, but
has recently been exceeded in the
number of beds by the hospitals at
Mars and Mesves. The number OF
wounded admitted from April
when the camp was first organized
to November was 30,650. The most
that it has cared for at a time has
been 10000, which was ten per
cent of all the beds in France and
one-sixth of all beds except in the
field hospitals.
Colonel Ford, the commanding
officer, told a correspondent that
the death rate had been exception
ally low and that diphtheria had
been the greatest problem to solve.
but they had kept it from spread
ing and he felt that it has been well
handled. The American prisoners
who have been released from Ger
many have been held in quarantine
in Allerey on account of diphtheria,
but they are being sent on grad
ually now. A great many of the
cases of flu were sent to AIlerey
from the front. On Nov. 5. the
high water mark was reached with
1902 cases."
