WINDOW BANKS SET EXAMPLE,
Financial Institutions Are Open
Saturday Evenings To ACCOMMODATES
Farmers And Business Men.

Beginning on Saturday evening of
last week, June 18th, the Window banks
began new custom which will undoubt-
edly meet with the approval of the public
says the Cottonwood County Citizen.
Beginning on that day the three financial
institutions of the neighboring city are
open for business every Saturday evening
| from to 9 o'clock. Deposits can be
!, made and checks cashed the same as
can be done in the day time. This
innovation will be continued during the
summer and fall season, and is started
because Of the difference of legal with
sun time, which has heretofore greatly
Inconvenience farmers especially. By
the new plan farmers who do not get
to town until evening can transact
Their banking business the same as
though they were able to get in during
the day. It will also be great conven-
fence to business houses, who will by
this plan be able to make deposits Of
the business done during the business
hours of the late afternoon and evening
on Saturday.
If the new plan proves feasible and of
benefit to those mostly concerned it
possibly will find adherents and imita-
tors in other cities. .s.

NOTORIOUS MEXICAN BANDITS
IMPERSONATED IN ..IIART''
PLAY.

"A composite impersonation Of Zapata
and Villa, the notorious Mexican ban
dts, by Mr.. Laidlaw in Triangle's pro-
duction Of The Patriot is said to be
sensationally faithful to the originals.
The Patriot" which stars William S.
Hart, calls for bandit character, Ia
pilla. On being cast for this role, Mr..
Laidlaw made an extensive collection Of
photographs showing each Of the we'll
known desperadoes in various positions.
He then spent a full week on determin-
ing the makeup that would enable
him to present the salient features 81
the two bandits. ss8=ss
A sensation followed his first appear
ance in this makeup. Both Mr..
Hart and Mr.. Katterjohn, the author,
found it difficult to believe that the man
before them was Mr.. Laidlaw. The
Patriot" will be shown at the American
Theatre on Saturday night. It is q
thrilling patriotic play with none Of the
horrors Of war. Adv.

PETER MACK IS 80.
Many Relatives and Friends Present
AT Celebration on Sunday.

Peter Mack, the only survivor of the
group of first settlers who came to Brown
county in 1854, celebrated his seth
birthday last Sunday. Many relatives
and friends gathered around him on the.
old Mack farm in Milford township.
Happiness was shining on the face OF
the old gentleman when he saw how
he was honored by so many guests OF
the younger set, it is said by those who
were present. 1t happened to be the
day of the annual picnic of the st.
Cecilia choir of the Holy Trinity parish,
which was held on Mr.. Mack's land. Be
ing of German stock it was felt that
Mr.. Mack would enjoy some Of the old
German Folk songs, and soon the singers
got together when they heard that Mr..
Mack would come over to the grounds
and offered him a serenade Of several
beautiful German mixed and male
choruses that went to the heart of the
old gentleman. Later on a few songs were
added in the hower-bedecked garden
in front of the house.
Peter Mack was born in the former
kingdom of Wuerttemberg. He came
over to America in 1854, being one Of
the first settlers in this vicinity. Being
young man he was full of ambition and
set to work on his present farm which
today is one of the most beautiful farms
Of the neighborhood. He was married
about AZ years ago and is the father Of
the following children: William, Red
wood Falls; John, on the fathers farm
in Milford township; Bertha, Mrs. 81.
Meyer, New Ulm; and Fred, who is in
the hospital at. Anoka. With the excep-
ton of the latter, all the children with
their families were present. Other visi-
tors on the farm were: Alex Mecklenburg
and Arthur Mecklenburg and their
families, Milford township; j. A. Ochs,
New Ulm; Henry Wendtland, Sleepy
Eye. One of the happiest fellows in
the crowd was Armin Mack, son OF
John Mack, who returned home on
Friday from overseas service.

A NEW PLAGUE.
Gnat Swarms Follow in Wake Of
Heavy Rains.

Anew plague has. come upon New Ulm.
The city and neighborhood hardly
recovered from the effects of the terri
BILE transforms and now the gnats are
visiting us by the millions, doing much
harm to the animal world. Not IN
eight or ten years has the little insect
been so troublesome as it has become
during the last few days. The gnats
have begun their destructive work by
killing many chicklets. They also get
into the ears Of horses and cattle, some
times killing them. So far, however,
no report has been received Of the death
of a large animal from this cause. Hun
dreds Of people are suffering severely
from their bites which seem to be very
poisonous. Many have one OF both
eyes swollen shut. It is said the gnats
are short-lived and that the plague will
end soon.

was obtained Ia committees Of the
sixty fourth cong neither the senate
or the House approving the plan at the
time. Senator Morris Sheppard, Texas,
introduced the amendment in the Senate,
and Representative Edwin Z. Webb,
North Carolina, ii the house. The same
resolution was presented to- the sixty
fifth congress IN December, 1915. On
December II, 1916, the House judiciary
committee reported it out. Finally the
prohibition amendment was passed by
the senate, August 1, 1917 by q vote
Of IS to 20, and in the house, December
IL by q vote Of 282 to 1913.
Wartime prohibition was first intro
duced by Representative Barley, Ken
lucky, in the house April rs, 1918, and
was adopted by both houses as q rider
to the agricultural appropriation bill.
The Effects. SIS
Wartime prohibition means;
The closing Of $4,000 saloons, prin-
cipally in big cities.
The closing Of 1,247 breweries 1917
figures.)
Practical abandonment Of 645 dis
tilleries, already closed as a war measure.
Loss to the government Of about
$3.50 ZOO, 900 annually in internal rev.
enue, and the loss of several hundred
millions to municipalities for licenses.

Whether Uncle Sam will desert the
welllmown water wagon, for a brief
spree before constitutional prohibition
replaces the war time dry act next
January, depends on Congress and Presi-
dent Wilson. Congress can repeal
the act as President Wilson
partially desired or the President
can declare rehabilitation OF the armed
forces complete, thus in effect repeal
ing the. law. Congress does not seem
to be inclined to act in the matter but
reports from Washington have it that
the President will take the step indi-
Gated by the end Of August.

An OPEN ! El:T FER.

q
Something over two weeks ago Nj.
Liller, representative 81 the Depart
ment Of Labor, came to New Tim q
Investigate conditions 81 the employees
Of the flour mills here. When Nj,
Liller came to oar Office and presented
his card bearing title Of Commissioner
Iof Cancellation we told him that we
would Be vety glad to give him al the
assistance and information We possibly
could. We supposed that he was what
his card signifed and that he would Be
just. We told Mr.. Liller that there was
not one thing in connection with the
treatment Of cur employees that we were
not perfectly willing to have given the
utmost publicity. We explained to him
that we had always endeavored to be
perfectly fair IN the treatment Of our
employees and pay as good wages as
conditions would permit We explained
to Mr.. Liller that we had advanced our
wage scale several times during the past
three years and that with one exception
we are now paying higher wages than
any other interior mill in the Northwest:
that we are paying time and quarter
for week days over eight hours, and that
we are paying time and a half for holi-
days and Sundays. We explained to
Mr.. Liller that there are only two or
three OF the interior mills that are
paying time and quarter for overtime
on week days, and but two or three
that are paying more than regular
time for Sunday work. We produced
for Mr.. Liller's inspection evidence
to prove that what we had told him was
true.
We have told our employees repeated
" and we told Mr.. Liller that it would
be absolutely impossible for US to con-
tinue in business and sell our flour in
competition with all Of the other mills
Of the. country if we attempted to pay
the same wage scale as Minneapolis
on account OF the many disadvantages
and handicaps which we are under as
compared with mills located at Mime
apolis.
During certain periods Of every year
we are obliged to ship wheat from Mime
apolis, which results in our being sub
jected to much higher freight charges
on our products, due to the back-haul
on the wheat. Our coal costs us much
more than the coal used by mills at
Minneapolis on account Of our freight
being a great deal higher. There are
many other items that work in favor Of
the Minneapolis mills as against mills
located as we are, such as additional
freight on packages, etc.
Below is given the wage scale Of the
Eagle Roller Mill Co., in effect at this
TIM, and the average pay for the various
kinds Of labor Of the seventeen largest
Southern Minnesota mills. This speaks
for itself:

After Mr.. L:l,e- had keen given
the information requested he was asked
whether st was customary for him to
arrange for meeting Of . committee
representing the employees and the
employers. He said that was customary
when an investigation indicated that
complaint registered was warranted,
but he said IN this case he would not
arrange for meeting, as he could see
no necessity for it. He said that the
men he had talked with told him they
had no complaint to make in regard to.
treatment, working conditions, etc, and.
that they simply wanted to have their
wage scale advanced again at that time.
Mr.. Liller stated that he was not to
act. as Judge to say whether our wage
scale was too high Or too low.
