members of the $1,OOO,OOO whiskey
ring, walked Tuesday, one after an
other and were promptly arrested.
Federal agents learned a few
days ago that car containing g.
900 cases of whiskey was on its way
from Kentucky to Chicago. The car
go is valued at $500,000. Major
Dalrymple's men met the car as it
entered the yards last night and
quickly arranged the trap.
From midnight until 9 o'clock
this morning, there was nothing do
ing. Then a man drove up in a truck,
And agents of the federal bureau
sauntered out and asked if he had
come after whiskey. The man said
he had and that he had the money
to pay for it. He was arrested at
once and taken to box car that
had been transformed into tempo
rary Jail.
A few minutes later another man
drove up in a touring car, was asked
4, the same question, gave the same
answer and loaded in the box-ca1
Jail. Twelve times the same per-
fornance was repeated and then a
census was taken of the prisoners
and they were removed to the coun-
ty Jail, while the officers began run
ming down their records. Each man
was armed and carried large
amount of money. The car of whis-
key was taken to government
warehouse, while other guards
seized the trucks and automobiles in
which the buyers had arrived.
1t is said at the federal building
that the whiskey was removed from
a Kentucky government warehouse
on forged permit, and that the
tip came from that point.-Balti-

TWO STORES ROBBED
IN HONEA PATH.

The Moore Hardware Company's
store was entered by burglars early
this morning and about $500 worth of
goods carried away. Entrance was
gained by removing the pane from
one of the rear windows. Just when
the store was robbed is not known
but Mr.. A. H. Pruitt, who lives only
a short distance from the buildings
thinks that it must have been some
time after two o'clock as he was up
until l 80 with a sick child and did
not hear any noise during that time
that could lead to believe any
thing of that kind was going on.
Four or five shot guns, a Winches-
ter rifle, a lot of cartridges and gun
shells and wrenches, razors and pock.
ct knives and numerous other articles
were stolen from this store. The rob-
bers attempted to break open the safe
but were unable to do so. The handle
was knocked off, and an effort was
made to saw off the combination at
tachment, several hack saws being
ruined in trying to carry out this at
tempt. The safe was ruined and will
probably be of no use to it's owners
hel CATER.
w. H. Banister's Store adjoining
the Moore Hardware Company's place
of business was entered in the same
manner and about 500 worth of
shoes and dry goods carried away. In
cluded in this were number of dress
shirts, sweaters and some chewing
gum and cigars. Mr.. Banister's store
was robbed about a year ago, en-
trance being gained in the same man
ner.
An attempt was made to get into
the clothing store of Baskin and Kay
but the robbers never got any furth-
er than the cellar. Whether they
were frightened away by hearing
some one move in the upper room or
through fear is not known.
The police have a pretty good clue
and it is possible that the guilty par
ties will soon be in the tolls of the
law. Stores at Belton, Anderson and
Williamson have been robbed re-
Gently and many think there is an
organized gang doing the work.

TO WOMAN VOTERS!

The women of Minnesota will hold
the balance of power in determining the
states political complexion on all ques-
tons and candidates at the coming
election. 1t is in their power, in all
probability, to say whether PreuS,
Hodgson or Shipstead win be our next
Governor. 1t is for them to decide
whether Minnesota will so for Harding
or Cox. But, most of all is it in their
power to determine whether Amend
ment No. 1 shall be passed and give
Minnesota the greatest road system in
the country, or whether it shall go by
default and thus deprive the state of
the benefits Of the most progressive pro-
gram ever undertaken in its behalf.
Their control over good roads is pc
culiarly vital in this respect. If a
woman fails to vote for one of the can
didates for any Office she will, at least,
not be casting a vote against that can
didate. But if she fails to vote for the
good roads amendment she will be vot-
ing against it! The reason for this, as
Informed persons already know, is that
the amendment, to be approved, must
receive a majority Of all the votes cast
in the election. If the woman voter,
then, through ignorance or Indifference,
fails to vote for Amendment No. her
vote will simply add to the total Of
the votes cast without increasing the
number favorable to the good roads
cause.
Women voters, if~they realized the
significance of the amendment, would
be the first to vote for it. In most
cases the man Of the family owns the
automobile and would pay the license
tax. The woman has nothing to lose
but everything to gain in riding over
smooth, dry roads. 1t is for her, in
most cases, that the family car was
ever bought Then why~not the roads
to go with it? If she lives in the c0un-
try the right kind Of road reduces, by
so many miles, her distance from town,
from her neighbors and her church. 1t
means education for her children, for it
brings them within five to fifteen min
utes of the school and makes it easy
for them to attend the high school in
town. What pity if the woman voter
should fail to realize her interest in
this matter! What mistake if any
man who wants a good roads system
at minimum of cost and delay should
fail to instruct the women voters OF
his family to cast their votes for, and
not against, Amendment No. l!
Let it not be forgotten that failure to
vote for the amendment. is, a vote
against st. Paul Pioneer. Press.

Good Roads Meeting
AT .AlVaradO

senator 7sMcIAHfya: speaking to- an
audience at Alvarado Monday laid
special stress and emphasis. on some of
the high spots Of Amendment No. /.
which is to be voted on in the Novem-
Der election H. i
The Senator enumerated the laws on
the statute books ut the present time:
showing that through the authority of
the county officials. there can now be
raised more than $4,000, 900 a year by
taxing all the property in the state, and
insisted on Amendment No. 1, being the
only safety valve to prevent or relieve
the people of this state from such an
unjust tax burden by placing a just
and equable tax on motor vehicles in
stead Of all real and personal property
Of the state. The speaker emphasized
the fact Of the wonderful motor car
increase in the last year NOW rapidly
approaching the $4,000 mark and
which will make it entirely un1leces-
sary to issue any bonds in 1921, when
a law can be enacted to make effective
the provisions Of Amendment No. l.
He pointed out that this would re-
lease the money now being spent on
the trunk lines and Of which Marshall
county secures its share. about IS mil
lion dollars, to be used in building
roads known as the lateral or feeder
roads, the first year, and as motor We
hicles will increase in great numbers
for at least the next ten years, it means
increase in revenue from taxation on
this class of property of about a million
dollars year, which will also go into
the hands Of the local people to build
the lateral or feeder roads and which
will no doubt be the means of greatly
diminishing if not entirely doing away
with the road and bridge tax in many
Of the counties throughout the state.
He also laid special emphasis on the
fact that fully sixty per cent Of the
revenue Of the tax to be derived from
the tax on motor cars, would come from
the three large cities, and we would
also be able to take care Of our federal
money, amounting to nearly three mil
lion dollars year if we would pass this
amendment.
Many questions were asked and salts
factory answers given, the speaker in
sisting that his audience leave no ques-
ton unsolved in regard to this import
ant amendment, and he pointed out to
his audience the fact that three coun-
ties alone would furnish six per cent
for this wonderful road program, leav-
ing So smaller counties to bear the
slight burden, if any burden at all.
when nearly three million dollars of
the remaining forty per cent is fur
nished by the federal government.
The audience was very attentive dur
ing the two hours discussion by Messrs.
McGarry and Sherman.

How Farm Bureau
Helps the Farmers

The Farm Bureau, is county organ
ization for the constructive develop
ment of agriculture, and an agency
which the farmers can help themselves.
What is the Purpose of the Farm
Bureau?
1t is to develop and maintain the
most permanent and profitable system
of farming adapted to- local conditions.
combining and utilizing therein the
best ideas: Of all. farmers as to what
can and should be done on our soil,
crop livestock and marketing problems.
On request Of % counties the State
Federation represented These counties
at a hearing of. the Great, Lakes-St.
Lawrence route to the sea. and favored
this as means of improving transport:
tation for the great Northwest.
Nolan Bill Defeated! ~ =,
Last January there was introduced
in Congress a bill providing for aIdirect
tax of one per cent on all land holdings
by one individual, valued in excess Of
$1O,OOO.0O.. This bill did not allow any
reduction for mortgages or, any other
Indebtedness and was one Of the most
vicious pieces of legislation that has
been placed before Congress for many
ers are concerned. Immediately upon
its introduction the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation secured a referen-
dun thereon and obtained a vote al
most unanimously against the bill. The
results in other states obtained through
the State Farm Bureau Federation
thereof, were substantially the same,
with the result that the bill will meet
certain defeat when it comes up for
passage.
The Farm Bureau wants to be alb
sOlutely fair to all enterprises. Those
that are working for the welfare Of the
farmers and the development Of agri-
culture will be boosted along. Those
that are not, the quicker they can be
eliminated the better, and the Fedora
ton will do all in its power to see that
this is done. !: =, - u.

With few exceptions in the past forty
years the farmers sole profit has come
from unrestored fertility taken from
the soil, and from long hours Of work
and unpaid labor of women and child
rem. We insist that these are legiti-
mate factors in the cost of food pro-
duction, and must be so recognized by
commercial interests and by the gen
eral public. We recognize that land
ownership is stewardship; that owner
ship does not give the right to soil de-
pletion and we deplore the system of
tenantry that encourages a rapid re.
