A large number of travellers have
slipped thru the city, loaded With
trunks and baggage, some of them
carrying q camping outfit On their
running board. License tags from
states as far away as California and
New York have been seen but
Minnesota and Montana and the adj
joining states are more frequently
represented.
The roads for the past three
weeks have been very bad thru the
MILESTONE valley. although east or
west Of the county the roads are re-
ported to be in pretty fair condi.

All of the tourists are favorably
impressed with the Main street and
generally favorable appearances
which Nilhank presents. The new
white way will add much to this.

Noble Emil Johnson

Last Friday just before Mr..
and Mrs. Emil johnson were
prepared to take the train for
Aberdeen, where they were to
board the Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Shriner train enronte to Port
land, bunch OF local Shriners
waited upon Emil and instead OF
calling IA taxi lifted him upon an
improyised vehicle beautifully
draped in the shriners colOrs
and escorted him to the depot.
The vehicle on which he rode in
honor had something the re.
semblance OF pile driver, on the
top of which Emil was seated in
state and eight or ten of the
local mobiles drew the chariot to
the depot, amid the applause OF
the populace as it passed down
Main street, and escorted by the
band and with the explosion of
all kinds of fireworks, pin wheels
and torpedoes., The vehicle had
the inscription on it "Noble Emil
A. Johnson, the greatest living
Swede,' and a number Of other
markings, as testimonial of the
high regard in which Emil is
held by his fellow shriners and
citizens generally. No citizen Of
Milbank ever left the city in
greater eelat or with higher
honors paid him than Emil re.
ceived'on his departure for Port
land. Had be been of royal blood
he could not have asked for any,
thing further.

Statement to the Public

lnasmuch as complaint has been
made against this store by a De-
partment Of Justice representative
to the effect that We have profiteer-
ed on sugar, and the general I'M
preston seems to be that we have
sold sugar at a price above that al.
lowed by the government reguia. !.
tions, we deem plain statement
of the facts due the public. and
also but fair and just to ourselves.
Last February. when no one knew
what the future OF the sugar market
would be, in order to be able to
protect our community against a
possible sugar shortage, we bought
carload of sugar, for which we
paid Sl7.68 per hundred pounds, +.
O. B. New York. to which was
added transportation and interest
charges, making the sugar cost US
$l8.553 per hundred. All Milbank
merchants were offered this sugar
at absolute cost price, and did buy
over $4,000 pounds of it at SIS. .553
per hundred. Of the balance we
sold about 10000 pounds at 20c
per pound. later raising to 22c per
pound. after the market had ad-
vanced. and still later to Csc per
pound. At all times we have sold
below the market. Sugar today
costs $27.00 per hundred, F. 0. B.
Minneapolis, cash with the order.
We call attention Of the public
to the fact that we were obliged to
pay cash for this car of sugar, and
interest on this money in
vested, we submit that the prices
at which We sold this sugar left us
on the entire car a profit of less
than 2 cents per pound, to which
we believed ourselves justly entit-
led under the government rules and
regulations. Had the price of sug-
ar declined to 10 or IL cents per
pound. we had absolutely no pro.
lection. and would have. taken our
loss without complaint. We merely
protected our patrons and the peo-
pie Of this community against in
ability to get sugar, At NO time re-
fusing sugar to any one wishing
it. selling in small quantities for
some time past in order to assure
everyone their actual needs, and at
no time selling 1t more than 25c
per pound, which is SC per pound
below the actual market price.
which everyone knows.
We believe that every fair and
honest person who will take. the
trouble to learn the facts in this
matter will agree that our course
has been perfectly honest and justi-
fable.

ley team was wild, and several of
the Milbank batters were hit while
up at bat. The feature Of the
game was the home run hit by
Allen the third sacker. with one
man on base, which scored two Of
the three runs made.
The Beardsley aggregation were
unable to hit the pill, and Gill COL
lected nine more strikeouts to his
credit, allowing one man a base on
halls. Allen passed eight men to
the first sack and five men by hit

The first inning netted five runs
for the locals. two were made in

Wheaton and Ortonville upset the
dope by taking their games Sun
day. Wheaton was lined up
against the Clinton team, which
was leading the league for the first
three games Of the season. Mil

them on the skids and they have
lost three successive games to Mil

ponents down to a reasonable scor-
ing. The Wheaton team has struck

games.
WHEATON WINS PROTEST.
Jan before going to press we
learn that the protest which
Wheaton filed on the Milbank-
Wheaton game has decided in favor
of the Minnesota team. The pro-
test was heard and denied some
time ago. but since the Wheaton
aggregation found out they had a
slight winning chance they filed a
second one and swung enough votes
to force it thru. The protest is
based on a play which was not de-
cisive in the game. which would
have made the score 2-l instead of
20 as it now stands. The play was
IN the eighth inning. with two outs
and the man on third trying to
steal home. The batter stepped
out of the box, but returned when
he saw the runner coming for home
and struck at the ball as Gill threw
It to Calfee The ball struck the
batter, Calfee's nit and rolled into
the diamond, where Gill recovered
it and returned it to Calfee.
The umpire returned the runner
to third base, calling the ball dead
1t so happens that the additional
score would have made but a differ
ence 81 instead of q 2 0 nothing

the game to the Wheatonites.
Manager Lee Immediately called
the president of the League and in.
structed him to cancell the remain
ing games. as Milbank would not
play in the League where such de-
cisions robbed them of their justly
won games. The first game was 50
very close that the umpire's de-
cisions gave it to the Clinton team
and we cannst afford to give a
second game away. Graceville was

The long heralded Legion Day,
in spite Of the recent bad
weather which isolated practical
ly all of the south half Of the
county, drew a large crowd aud
was declared success.
Many service men and visitors
came in on the morning trains,
while few autos made the trip
from Albee and the southern
corner of the county after being
pulled thru mud hole by
horses. The largest crowd at
tended the program in the eve
ming and the pavement dance
was enjoyed by large number
Of dancers.
The afternoon program was
not given, due to the fact that the
community singer, Miss Halli
day was unable to come until on
the afternoon train. The bah
game between the all-Legion
teams of Ortonville and this city
resulted in a walk-away for the
locals. The lakeside city ex-
perienced some difficu ty in get.
ting tine up as several of the
city team players were not Le-
gion mem bers. The locals start
ed out in the first inning to
score, and made 3 of the big
tallies. The game ended in the
9Th inning with the score 81.

The program in the evening
was well attended, the Chautau-

people. Miss Halliday, who
opened the program with CON-
munity sing made an instantane-
Gus hit with the audience and
great success with the singing.

standing on the part of some of
the people, who thot that she
was to appear upon the band

not hear her and were greatly
disappointed. Mr.. Fuller who
gave the address of welcome,
Mr.. Harris state adjutant of the
American Legion, and Mr.. George
