THE Consumers United Stores Co.
plan seems to be very similar to THAT
of the Ignite Consumers Mining Co.,
Said member of the commission in
announcing the boards action. "The
supreme court held that an enterprise
OF this kind cannot evade the blue
sky law by cOntending that their plan
Is not speculative. The supreme
court ruled in the Ignite Consumers
case that the value of shares sold
on this plan is speculative. The Con,
sumers' United Stores Co. has either
ignored or sought to evade the pro-
visions Of the blue sky law, and we
have re:nanded of them the showing
required by this law and an account
ing Of their stewardship"
Was Busy Meeting.
Thursday afternoons session of the
blue sky commission was busy and
interesting affair. The banking oper-
ations of Jack Hastings again came.
up for consideration, and the board
ordered statement as to the condi-
ton of the American Exchange bank.
which Hastings recently organized
at Valley City. 1t also asked re-
port as to whether this bank has
taken over the affairs and the assets
and accounts of the American Ma
tiOnal bank. whose majority stock
was purchased by Hastings, and II
30, who; signed over the property on
behalf or the American National and
who receipted or It on the part of
the American Exchange state bank.
The Consumers Company 49,,
The Consumers United Stares
Co. was incorporated about two
years ago with an original capt.
tai Of $4,000 which later was in
creased to $4,000. On this small
amount Of capital the company
has accumulated assets in excess
Of $1,5o0Ooo, according to the tes-
tihnony Of Hastings, its financial
agent.
The company appears at all times
to have been close corporation, d.
rectly affiliated with and controlled
by the inner circle Of the National
NOnpartisan league. Job Wells Brin-
ton, one Of Townley's chief. lieuten-
ants. was until few months ago

The plan OF operation has been TO
organize local "stores" through the
sale Of certificates at 500, each Ell
titling the holder to trade at Con-
sumers United Store to be establish
ed at some time in future. The con-
tract has spcifid that not NOR than
ten thousand DE invested in any
single store, and that $1,000 of the
amount raised 90 to the promoter
or organizer. Any balance remain,
ing Is devoted to education and
propaganda" This balance, which
now totals $1,5O0O0O, is entirely at
the disposal of the directors of the

PRAISES SOLDIERS

Paris, Mar. 21.-Marshal Foch was
reminded today that March 2Ist was
the beginning of the great German
forces toward Amiens, and was asked
by Jules Sauerein, of the Matin to
explain by what methods the marshal
had turned the German efforts into
defeat. The allied generaHssimo re-
piled:
You ask me to tell you much in Z

NEW LAW ON CIGARETTES.

Chapter 34S of the new laws of the
state relates to cigarettes. The city
has been getting the fees but under
the new law the fee goes to the state
treasury. Every person desiring a
license to sell cigarettes must make
application to the state dairy and
food commissioner and deposit the
amount of the annual fee which is
twelve dollars a year. No one shall
sell to anyone under the age of 3
years. Anyone under the age of IS
years caught smoking is liable to a
fine of not more than $40 or a sent
ence of not more than five days in
the county Jail. No licenses can be
granted in any city, village or town
where the sale is forbidden by resolu-
ton or ordinance. The fees collected
under the provisions of this act shall
be paid into the state treasury by
the dairy and food commissioner.
The state treasurer shall transmit
such license money semi-annually to
the Treasury of the city, village or
county from which the license is
issued.

GERMANY'S HYPOTHETICAL
WALL.

Germany's piteous wall OF woe
filled with denials of responsibility
inability to meet the demands, the
accusing of other nations for wars
responsibility, and insisting that they
will not and cannot sign the proposed
peace treaty, fill a large portion OF
the notes which the Teutonic peace
delegates are flooding the Alice
representatives at Versailles.
The probabilities are that Germany
is following a we'll laid plan. They
know full we'll their demands will
not be granted, but like a shyste1
lawyer at court, they offer much stuff
which cannot be accepted as evidence
but succeed in getting the matter
before the jury.
AS progagandists the Germans ex-
eel the world, and these parleys are
simply attempts to soften the heart
of the world now against them. In
none of their walls have they indicated
repentent attitude for their atrocities,
and they are setting up their claims
with all the arrogance of victors. 1t
cannot be possible that subterfuge
and deceit practiced in connection
with the peace treaty will have any
effect on Lloyd George, Clemenceau
and Orlando, premiers of the coun-
tries who were most affected by the
German onslaught.
The Herald has believed right
along, and We are still of the opinion
that the Germans will sign the treaty
at the last moment. If they do
not the Allied armies of occupation
are all set to take possession of the
country, regardless Of their threats to
join hands with Bolshevism. To make
this foolish move would be very ex-
pensive for Germany, and it is barely
possible that they may yet get a
taste of some of the devastation they
inflicted in France and Belgium.
Germany must pay the wars bill
and make all reparation possible be-
sides turning over Kaiser Bill and his
War Lords for trial.-A. M. w.

NEW SYSTEM OF DELIVERY
AT SAUK LAKE CREAMERY
SHOWING PAYING RESULTS

The Sank Centre farmers cream
cry, which shortly after their annual
meeting in January last began taking
cream on only four days of the week
and requiring their patrons to make
deliveries before noon on each de-
livery day, is beginning to see the re-
suits of this system of delivery over
the every day and at any hour of
the day system which was in use at
Sank Centre previous to the last
annual meeting. The Sank Centre
creamery now has in the neighbor-
hood of 130 steady patrons and paid
for butterfat in the month of April
$S,474,20 which will compare quite
favorably with other creameries of
the county. Sixty eight cents a
pound was paid for butterfat which
is undoubtedly more than the manage
ment would have been able to pay
had the old system of every day de-
livery still been in operation.
The following list gives the
names of patrons receiving over $75
