Paul DeIlnel Out
Of Federal Prison
EDITOR CHARGED WITH DISLOY-
Atty RELEASED FROM PRI-
SON ON PAROLE.

Paul F. Dehnel former editor of
the Sleepy Eye Progressive and later
editor of the Minneapolis and st. Paul
American, interned at Fl. Oglethorpe,
Ga, as an enemy alien in October,
1913, was paroled last Thursday, T.
E. Campbell, special agent, depart
ment of justice was notified Friday at
Minneapolis.
Dehnel was interned when a federal
jury disagreed as to whether he had
violated the espionage act. The in
dictment was founded on article pub
lished in his newspaper by j. A. Peter
son, Minneapolis attorney and candi-
date for United States senator in the
last election, who was convicted of es-
pionage violations and sentenced to
four years at Ft. Leavenworth.
Laying claim to American citizen
ship, Dehnel leaves the federal prison
practically unshackled and free to re-
engage in his venemous pro- German
ism and rotten revilings of religion.
Despised by the blue citizenship
of Minnesota, this putrid mass of ev-
cry antiism diabolical to the atmos-
phere of a democratic nation, comes
back into the arms of his beloved &C
complies.
But if the department of justice
does not see fit to keep Dehnel Gagged
up, that is no indication that his
former activities will be countenanced
by the rank and file of American peo-
pie. A sort of unwritten gentleman's
agreement will strafe any effort of
he or his ilk to carry on. Truly out
of the fire of this war new America
will rise and that America will toll
crate only decent citizenship.

Sell More Stock

A meeting of the stockholders OF
the Redwood County Agricultural So
ciety was held last Saturday afternoon
with fair representation of the stock
holders. The object for which the
meeting was called was accomplished
and the Board Of Directors was auth
orized to sell more stock to provide
funds to build new stock pavilion
and cry other buildings which it may
deem necessary. Prominent stock men
of the County have felt that a stock
pavilion should be part of the fair
grounds and such a building will ull-
doubtedly be erected during the pre-
sent season

AN UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

AN UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
The Fifth Liberty Loan Of
fers to the people of our coun-
try an unique opportunity to
serve their own best interest
and at the same time to do an
act of patriotism.
When America entered the
war, our government spared no
expense in providing the num-
erous and various things need
ed by our fighting forces. It
was a tremendous task, but our
men were equipped and rushed
overseas. and victory was won.
Had our officials hesitated be-
cause of expense, had they lack
ed faith in the willingness and
ability of the American people
to pay the bill it is probable
that the war would have lasted
much longer and that a great
many more of our gallant fight
ing men would have been killed
or wounded. Our losses, al
though large, are but a fraction
Of the losses sustained by the
Allied nations.
To win the victory cost a
great sum of money; to sustain
the army and the navy during
arnlistice and the demobiliza-
ton period requires funds. But
patriotism did not pass away
with the signing of the armis-
tice, and I am sure that if our
people were called upon to do
nate the needed sums, there
would be an immediate and a
hearty response.
But our government is not
asking for donations. Instead
of that it is asking for a loan
The government needs not on
ly our surplus funds, but also
the money which many in or
binary times spend for luxuries
and things of questionable val
ue. The government will not
only return our money but will
pay an adequate rate of inter
est.
We are not asked to forget
any necessities, altho to some
people the payment Of the loan
subscriptions may mean tenn
porary inconvenience. But
through the habits Of thrift
thus inculcated, the knowledge
that something is saved for fu=
ture use, and, best of all, the
feeling that they have shown
their gratitude and helped pay
for the victory, our people will
be amply paid for the efforts
required to buy bonds.

Teachers Are Few;
Schools Are Many
SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS FOR
80 RURAL SCHOOLS.

. AS a result of the investigation of
Mrs. Adele G. Pratt, county superin-
tendent of schools, regarding the I'M
rest oe teachers throughout the conn
ty, it is predicted that serious quns-
ton is confronting schools boards re-
garding the hiring of teachers for an
other year. Already there is a scarf
ty and unless salaries are raised, and
teachers engaged early is posi-
bility of some schools having to re-
main closed at the beginning of next
school year.
The following is a summary of the
reports sent in by the teachers.
Highest salary paid to semi-grad-
ed teacher (1918-19), $125.00
Highest salary to rural teach
err 1913, $3.50.
Lowest salary paid to rural teach
er, (1918-19), $4,000.
Average salary paid to rural teach
ers (1918-19), $1,000.
In answer to the question what is
the minimum salary you will accept
next year," the amounts ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000 for rural teach
ers and from $1,000 to S125.O0 for
semigraded teachers. Only one teafh-
er state that she would accept $4,000
per month. The average minimum
salary asked was $4,000
Redwood County needs 116 teachers
to teach in the rural and semigraded
schools. % of the teachers now teach
ing report that they will not teach
next year. 50 teachers reported that
they plan to teach next year. The
rest stated that they were undecided
which means that not more than half
of the number can be expected to be
back in the work another year. Only
19 teachers of the ones now teaching
in. the county report that they will
consider teaching the same school nnxt
year.
The state department of education
has sent out report made from SIR
vey Of the situation in the state as a
whole. This report shows that during
1888 there has been shortage of
418 qualified teachers. The State
Normal Schools and Normal Training
Department in High School have As
per cent less enrolment than they had
two years ago. Consequently, the
supply of new teachers is less than rs
ual. Without question many schools
in the state will be without qualified
teachers next year. Will any of the
schools in Redwood County be IN this
number - Redwood County Farmer.

Bill Is Defeated

The house Tuesday defeated A.
J. Praxel's bill to create an additional
district Judge for the ninth judicial
district, and transfer Pipestone coun-
tv from the 18th TO the ninth district.
The vote was 81 to 81. George w.
Grant of Window and j. N. Jacobson
of Hills led the fight on the bill. The
addition of Pipestone would have put
six counties in the ninth district with
two judges. At present Brown. Mic
ollet, Redwood Lyon and Lincoln
counties comprise the district, presid-
ed over by Judge Clague. The work
has increased greatly in recent years.

Dos Moines, Dec. l0.--Wh!le mine
operators generally are endeavoring
to keep their mine properties In con-
dition 90 that the mines can open
promptly, II will require few days
for them to get fully under way after
the miners return to work. II Is eS-
peeted. however. that the mines OF this
district will DC up TO normal within
at least ten days following the settle

put will DO somewhat above normal
for the balance OF the season.
The state Is at present largely do
pendent on wood, coke and hard coal
of the buckwheat or pea size, which
latter can only be buried in certain
kinds OF commercial heating plants.
THIS kind OF hard coal l. so fine that
It can only be used where steam coal
generally is used.
The cutting bees and excursions into
the woods for the purpose OF securing
wood for fuel are resulting in pro-
v!Ging q certain supply. and in some

heads, however, warn against any l.o-
eral consumption OF wood on the the
CRY that it is plentiful, for this is not
the case. The wood IS hard to get.
especially now that th,re is such a
heavy coating OF snow On the ground.
It Is not possible to operate trucks in
the average timbered araa now because
OF the deep snow and teams can only
haul the wood out OF the timber IN

Several Towns Out OF Coal.
1t has been reported 70 the state fuel
department that municipal heating
plant at ida Grove IS exceedingly
short of coal and the managers are
now In Chicago making strenuous eff
fort to secure a supply. This plant
heats 10 homes, seventy business
houses and two hospitals.
At Sibley another municipal heating
plant is about cut Of coal. The extent
Of its service was not reported en-.
At Gr;nneIl the electric light plant
Is very low on fuel. This plant also
supplies q number Of business houses.
The light plant at Ames is reported

News comes to the state headquar
tsre of a few small mines mere and

report that a sufficient number Of
