WAS S{SftI$:IR@!
v. KLISCH OF BOWLUS, vI0LAFOR
OF WARTIME PROHIBITION
ACT, SEVERELY DEALT WITH.

The first case Of violation Of the war
time prohibition act to be brought into
court in Morrison county was against
Vincent Klisch of Bowlus, against
whom action was brought by the state
for operating public nuisance in that
village between July and August 27.
Complaints to the state authorities
that Klisch was selling Intoxicating IL
quor, resulted in an investigation by
Sheriff Felix, who then served a war
rant on Kisch and closed up his place
of business. Klisch was ordered to ap-
pear in district court here Wednesday
to answer to the charges. He admitted
having operated public nuisance by
selling intoxicating liquors, and the
court ordered the county attorney to
draw up an order enjoining the nuisance
and forbidding said Vincent Klisch
from ever again engaging in this busi-
ness in the state Of Minnesota. The
sheriff was ordered to sell all the tx
lures in the place at public sale, the
money derived from said sale to be
turned over to the county treasurer.
The court further ordered that the
building be closed up for the period of
one year, provided however, that if Mr..
Klisch furnish the county with bond
in the sum Of $500 within that time
the building may be reopened to be US
ed for other purposes. The furnishing
of the bond, however, will not affect
the sale of the fixtures as this must be
done.
The action against Mr.. Klisch was
brought under the new state law recent
ly passed for the enforcement in this
state of the wartime and national pro-
hibition.

Wholesale Grocers
Report Unusual Big
Demand for Sugar

Statesmen for wholesale grocery
houses report a growing tendency
on the part of householders to hoard
sugar and place the blame for the
present shortage on the consumer.
The Paxton & Gallagher Co. re-
port sales during July double the
size of the same month in previous
years. The firm sold $4,000 sacks
and the usual consumption is 1900
sacks.
Refineries made allotments in
March to the various wholesale
firms covering a period until Sep
TENDER /. The unusual demand ex-
hausted the supply and wholesalers
are now unable to secure enough to
supply the demand.
Retailers are now being sold only
limited quantities and are requested
to sell only limited quantities. Few
grocers will sell sugar in sack lots
and a l0-pound maximum has been
ordered in several of the larger
stores.
Little can sugar is on the market
and many retailers have none Sugar
is selling for $l0.75 and $l2 retail.
