ONE GOT DE MON
AND THE OTHER
WROTE CHECKS

Deputy Sheriff John James came
up from Martin Sunday afternoon
with a couple of forgery artists
Joe Shanklin and Bob Wick, negroes,
who worked the check racket al
most to FRAGILE in Martin last week
before their game was caught on to.
Shanklin is an educated Niger;
he wrote the checks, which the Wick
negro cashed, the pair going $3.50
in the spoils. But they came to
grief finally, when they tried to
cash one of the forged checks at a
bank. The others had been worked
off on individuals, among the VIC
TINS being E. F. Clemmons, B. E.
Dodd and Max Burchard at the
Globe. All checks were drawn for
$3.50 except one, which called for
SIS. The gents were tried before
his honor, ESQ. Lee Elliott, who fix.
ed their bonds at $500 each, failing
to give which they were sent here to
board with Sheriff Thompson.

MOVED FROM OFFICE


nSANfn< a-E==az AN ~ H.
During the past week County
Agent Ellis removed from his office
the great collection of crop exhibit
samples that has been admired by
so many visitors during the past
years. In this collection could be
found some Of the finest specimens
of clover, grasses, small grains, as
well as the widest variety Of crops
that probably ever has been collected
in any one county in the state. Most
of these samples were grown in 1913
and maintained good appearance to
the day they were removed. The
fact that the products were masty
due to age, and attracted mice ant
insects, which made it unpleasant
were the reasons for removing thes'
| products, The office will now b
fitted up with charts, pictures, maps
models and other matters of interes
and will be opened on Saturdays am
first Mondays for the benefit Of Wis
itors and those seeking information
The office is on the second floor @

Copenhagen, Jan. Berlin is in
state Of complete anarchy and
civil war has begun there, according
to the Munich correspondent of the
Politiken. His information, he says
is based ON telephone messages from
the German capital.
All the banks are barricaded and
a great number of the public build
ings are in the hands Of the Sparti-
can, or extreme radical group.
Thousands of armed workmen of
the SpartiCus faction, the cores
pondent reports, are crUwding the
streets and at several points firing
has begun. The sound of machine
gun fire could be heard from all
parts of Berlin.
The message reported the inten-
tion of the government to make an
effort to storm the building of the
police guards later in the day and
take possession of all the machine
guns and cannon there.
Dr.. Karl Liebknecht, the Sparta
can leader, has been seen here and
there about the city organizing his
troops for the final fight, which, the
correspondent says, is expected to
begin very soon.
Hundreds of persons are reported
fleeing from the city.

RESIDENCE DE-
STROYED BY FIRE

The handsome residence of Mr..
Harry Whites, depot agent at Green
field, was totally destroyed by fire
Sunday night at 1880.
The structure was located west of
the depot and situated between the
Cottage Hotel and John Barton's
residence. The fire originated from
defective flue in the cook room, it
is presumed, and had gained consid-
cradle Roadway when discovered by
members of the family, whose at
tention was first attracted by the
sound made by the flames. The,
loss of Mr.. Whites is heavy.

there in abundance. 1t will have to be
handled In large quantities and under
scientific methods of economy to make
1t pay. The question of its commercial
value is simply one of engineering.

THE DISCHARGED MAN.

Under the above caption the Minneapolis
Journal publishes timely editorial, which
will be heartily concurred in by every Am
erican citizen who has the best interests of our
soldier boys at heart.
"Already it is becoming evident thai the War
Department made mistake in ordering the dis
charge of released soldiers II rehabilitation
camps, instead of having them receive their dis
charges from the local boards that sent them to
service Provost General Crowder, who conceived
worked out and carried out the selective draft
with such remarkable success, recommended that
the draft boards be used for this purpose, but he
was overruled.
"Such an arrangement would bring the men to
away from home as many of them now are. 1t
would bring them back to their friends where
some appreciation of their service could be shown
CAS- it is, the discharged men often find them
selves with very little money in pocket or none
at all and only the difference between the allow
ance of three and half cents mile for the trip
home and the railroad charges of two cents mile
Their pay very often has been eaten up by allot-
ments, insurance and fixed company charges SO
that they reached home with almost nothing with
which to begin life anew.
S'The proposal now pending in congress to grant
discharged men bonus of an extra months pay
should be carried through without delay. They
need it and are entitled to it. Even impoversh-
ed Italy gives her discharged soldiers bonus of
from one to six months extra pay, depending on
length of service. In these days of billions there
should be 10 hagglng over such proposal

THE SALVATION ARMY

L. C. CHURCHILL of .he Cottonwood County
Citizen, must have looked with seeing eyes upor
the cover of the January IL, Saturday Evening
Post, which depicts an American soldier boy be-
ing fed and well fed, by the doughnuts offered
by Salvation Army lass. Then L. G. penned the
following justly deserved tribute to the Lassie
and the organization.
"There is one organization engaged in war
relief work which has made its standing solid
with not ony the boys over there but with the
great public as well. We refer to the old, de-
spised and many times ill-treated Salvation
Army workers. The voluntary forces of this
great S. A. have gone into the thick of things
without whimper; they have been out on The
front line trenches; they have even been in
No Mans Land to aid the wounded; they
have been in every conceivable place where
no one else would go. And the boys over there
have written home and told of it, and in their
letters they have said that if ever the Saliva
ton Army lassie called on member of the
soldiers family for aid, to give it freely, as
that was the measure the worker had used on
the battle field to aid the fighting man-they
gave freely of whatever they had. After the
war this sacrificial spirit of The S. A. worker
will bear fruit, men who served under Perish
ing are going to listen to what the Salvation
Army worker has to say to them. We doubt
not but that it will be one of the greatest
forces for good the world will have through
out the future years, for the members of that
army are not in the work because of salary
but purely for the good they can do their fell
lowmen"
