The assistant commissioner closes
mis- treatment OF the question with the
ecommenda tons:
First-That every road camp and
every penal institution in the state be

officer OF the state board of health
FOR the purpose OF Instruction as well

as follows: 'sFhe law on the subject

state of affairs should not be permit

Sleepy Eye Store
Is Burglarized
r. I'll. BINGHAM & SONS HARD
WARE ROBBED OF $500 WORTH
OF SILVER AND CUTLERY

r. III. Bingham & Sons hardware
store at Sleepy Eye was the scene of
a robbery Friday morning, when
thieves entered the building and car
ried away silverware, cutlery and
pocket knives to the value of about
$4,000.
The robbery was discovered Friday
morning when the store was opened.
Show cases containing the silverware,
cutlery and pocket knives had been
emptied and carried away and so
thorough was the job done that no
clue has as yet been discovered that
will lead to the apprehension of the
thieves. Entry to the building was
made through a window in the base
ment at the rear of the building, the
sash being pried open.
From the appearance of the rob-
berry and the fact that the thieves
knew just where to proceed to get
what they wanted, it is thought the
deed was perpetrated by local parties
and the authorities are working on
the case with that belief. A number
of small robberies occur here at IN
tervals of about six to eight weeks
and there are many of the opinion
that the thefts are performed by local
parties. AS these thefts are becom-
ing regular occurrence and the thieves
are becoming bolder with each new
robbery there is reason to believe that
their confidence caused by successful
evasion of the authorities may cause
them to become careless.

The first formal meeting of the
Melvin Daskam Post was held at the
armory last Friday evening. The first
feature of the meeting was the six

Shipments Delayed

The local postmaster C.. A. La auter-
bach has been notified as follows re-
garding shipment of the surplus food
recently sold by the government to
private consumers, and of which de-
livery was to be made through the
mails.
"I am taking the liberty of bring
ing to your attention that the sub
scription to our governments offer
to the public to purchase surplus food,
held and contracted for by the War
Department, exceeds in extent all ex-
pectation and the delivery will no
doubt be somewhat delayed because
of the task of assembling, routing and
Transporting so large volume OF
parcel post. We have completed trans
portation arrangements and are en-
ploying every means at our command
TO expediate delivery, but at best
there will be some delay. Shipments
will be made in the order in which re-
quests were received, and as rapidly
as delivery is made by the War De-
partment. The orders now on hand
for territory supplied by Chicago
Warehouse, amount to an aggregate
of one hundred and sixty million
pounds, and that shipments have al
ready begun. If there are delays be-
yond what purchasers think reason
able, they should exercise patience.
Writing to the Post Office Department
will not expediate delivery, but will
have a tendency to create additional
delay. Inquiries should be directed
to the local postmaster.

"Mike'' DowIing
Returns

Michael Dowling, one of the great
est living examples of what pluck and
perseverance may accomplish IN over
coming the greatest of physical hand
leaps, returned to his home at Olivia
this week after spending several
months in Europe. Mr.. Bowling was
the guest of King George of England
and was called there to cheer and en-
courage the crippled soldiers of the
British Empire who have been dis
abled in the war;
Upon being interviewed in regard
to his experiences in Europe, by
Twin City papers, Mr.. Bowling said:
'I feel just as did after | had my
first ride in an airplane," he said.
"When, | got out of that plane, all l
could say was that I'd had an eyeful
of scenery and an earful of cold air.
Now I've been seeing wonderful things,
that I can hardly talk about them"
Mr.. Dowling, banker, and formerly
speaker of the house of represen-
tatives in the Minnesota legislature,
went abroad as the guest of the Brit
ish Red Cross to cheer crippled men
in English war hospitals. For two
months he travelled in England and
Scotland, addressing wounded soldiers
in hospitals and auditoriums, encour-
aging them to overcome the handicap
of missing limbs or sight. His own
misfortune in boyhood won the con-
fidence of the British wounded. In
1880, while herding cattle in Yellow
Medicine county, he was caught in a
snowstorm, jolted from the wagon IN
which he was riding, and was lost all
night in intense cold. Next morning,
when he crawled to a house less than
hundred feet away, both legs, one
arm and one hand were frozen. When
the amputation was over, he had left
only the stump of his right hand; his
other limbs were gone.
"Mrs. Bowling and / went to Eng
land as the guests of the British Red
Cross" said Mr.. Bowling, sand we've
covered England and Scotland pretty
thoroughly. The Red Cross sent US to
France and Belgium, too, and we went
over the whole British battlefront, and
part of the American lines"
