Considering the price.
You have to pay.
For a lemonade these days.
I always try my best.
To get my moneys worth.
And / was with Jimmie Allison.
Up on ziesfeld's roof.
And we ordered lemonade.
And / drank mine.
And had eaten the cherries.
And the slice of pineapple.
And the slice of orange.
And there was nothing left.
But a piece of lemon.
And Art Hickman's band.
Was playing a fox trot:
And 1 was sitting.
Near little guy.
Who played the saxophone.
And l bit into the lemon.
And he hit a sour note.
That sounded like.
Stepping on a dogs tail.
But he was game.
And went on playing.
And I took another bite.
And there was a wild shrek.
Out of the saxophone.
And a fat fellow.
Dancing the fox trot.
Did split.
And the saxophone player.
Came over to me.
With his mouth in a pucker.
And asked me not to bite.
Into the lemon.
While he was playing.
That it had the same effect.
As a raw persimmon.
And I felt sorry for him.
And I know how he feels.
There used to be a boy.
who went to school with me.
And whenever the teacher.
Turned to the blackboard
He'd draw a slate pencil.
Through his teeth.
And 1t made me so jumpy

Persons who heard of Fridtjof

Arctic regions when he was in this
country. have noted with interest
his prominence in efforts made dur
ing the war and since to lessen the
tension of feeling against Germany
and to bring about humanitarian
conditions wherever they were tend
ing to become barbaric. His special
knowledge of life in the North has
made him a fit messenger at this
time from the allies to such govern
ment as exists in Siberia. the object
of his present mission being to find
out what, is the actual condition Of
the thousands of prisoners there,
some of them Germans, some Aus
trians. and some Czecks.

HENNEPIN SHERIFF ACCUSED
Charged, With Others, Of Conspiracy
For Liquor Smuggling.

Minneapolis. Martinson, I'M
der bail of $4,000 on a charge Of con-
spiracy to violate the laws of United
States by smuggling liquor into Min
nesota from Canada, is still clothed
with the authority as sheriff of Hen
nepin county. Governor Burnquist
said he would take no action to sus~
pend the sheriff until officially mott
fed of the charges.
The conspiracy, which was said by
federal agents to involve the snug
Cling of more than a $1,OOO,0OO worth
OF liquor into Minneapolis, resulted in
the issuance of warrants for seven
Minneapolis men.
Five OF the men, arrested by agents
OF the Department of Justice on fed
eral warrants charging conspiracy to
violate the Reed act of 1917, were ar
raigned before federal court commits
sioners and are now at liberty on
$4,000 bail each.
Sheriff Martinson appeared in the
transaction, it is alleged by federal
agents, not only as a financial partner
in the enterprise, but also as an agent
of the law. In this latter capacity he
is alleged to have so guarded opera
lions that there was little danger of
from the police.
