court an alleged transcript of rec
ord.
APPELLEE moves to strike out the
bin of exceptions and practically all
the other portions of the record,
because of failure of the tran

Nothing Doing,

What about Herbert Hoover for Presi-
dent?, That is the question put by the
Herbert Hoover Club of this state, in
the news dope released for publica-
ton. A few choice spirits of the twin
cities have gotten together the organiza-
ton for the purpose of making be-
lieve that Hoover is the real thing for
president of these United States. Hoov-
er was born in Iowa, but has spent most
of his life in foreign countries for twenty
years or more, was employed by the
British government and later partner
in large British mining company, with
headquarters in London. Do the vot-
ers of our country want a man with
these connections as it's PRESIDENT
Gaylord Hub.
The facts as above stated put Hoover
out of the running, as far as presidential
honors in these good old u. S.A. are con-
cerned, but we would caution Brother
Wallin not to print such radical stuff
as the above in his paper, or the Hub
may be placed in the same class with the
w-excommunicated by the t.
900, 000-per-cent-loyal and "pay" -triotic
publishers of the state.

Get the Hook!

Some one told Aug. Erickson, lawyer
editor of the Springfield Free Press that
if he was smitten on the one cheek
he should turn the other and so it came
to pass that when County Auditor
Vogel Of New Ulm locked him in his
Office and punched his kisser, Erickson
just naturally refused to slap back.
Erickson is an easy mark and has no
sympathy from this quarter. Ayap that
wouldn't kick the everlasting sauer-
kraut out Of a New Unite when at
tackled, deserves anything he gets.
We never saw Vogel and don't know
anything about him but we can tell
him where there are a few editors
who will let him know that he has
started a rumpus if he wants to make

informed the New Ulm Review that he
intends to file for the Republican nominal
ton for Secretary Of State and that
paper sponsors his candidacy. If Mr..
Vogel will now give some attention to
what the press Of Minnesota says about
him, he will find that this paper is not
the only one in Minnesota to say things
displeasing to his sensitive mind. AL

AM0RY HAS GREAT
SUCCESS WITH SALE

The little town of Amory has just
closed week of bargain sales.
One hundred dollars in cash--be-
sides other valuable articles of mer-
chandise-was given away each
day of the sale, except on Saturday,
the last day, when the prizes were
doubled. The merchants co-operated
in the big sales and went at it in a
big way, spending over $4,000 in
advertising and prizes.
As result of their splendid en-
terprise the merchants, during the
week totaled an aggregate business
of over 100000. A close tab was
kept on the sales by the Chamber of
Commerce and the figures on the
total business is very accurate.
The merchants of this thriving
town made up their minds to "get
from UNDER" and by hearty cooper
alton and extensive advertising suct
ceeded beyond their expectations.

ROBERTSON ISSUES STATEMENT
REGARDING THE INSURANCE SUITS

attaching of these funds means onIy
that the Agents of these Fire In.
surance Companies are required to
hold the money in their hands until
the Court decides the case and de.
cides whether the agents shall pay
the money to the Companies or shall
pay it to the State for, the violation
by these companies of our whole
some lows against trusts and COM
bines.
understand from the papers of
the City of Jackson that these COM
panies rather than permit two weeks
collections to be held in their agents
hands by order of the Court, are
threatening to withdraw from the
State, and leave business people as
they have left farmers for many
years, without fire protection.
Their attitude is like that of the
nation that adopted frightfulness as
its means of warfare. Their atti-
tude is what has been termed by the
Supreme Court of another State as
rebellious and retaliatory. Think of
1t; They have been taking out of
Mississippi something over S6,5OO.-
oo0 per year in premiums; but are.
OF pretend to be, unwilling to leave
two weeks collections of premiums
IN their own Mississippi Agents
hands until a Court can pass on
their guilt or innocence! Is it DOS
slble that these companies have
grown -s,'..'f NJ Al n,i, o1st,i
and it's Courts?
Much has been said in certain pa
pers about this suit and particularly
about the aggregate of the penalties
which the Court may impose under
the law, but little attempt has been
made to show that these companies
have not violated the statute above
quoted. Those who have been pay
ing for fire protection during recent
years at ever increasing rates, know
that these Companies have violated
that law and that it is the conscious
ness of guilt that causes them to
want to flee from the State.
Respectfully,

BOGUS CHECKS TO MER.
CHANTS - NOW IN JAIL

That dishonesty will eventually
get you into trouble is evidenced by
the recent arrest of James Cav. an
ebony-hued descendant of Ham.
Gay was the first name drawn in the
selective draft and served some time
overseas. He is now serving in the
Hotel de Hastings and will remain
there for some time or rather until
court convenes.
Saturday last, Gay thought he
needed more money than what he
had, and forthwith proceeded to five
or six merchants in the city and pre-
sented bogus checks, receiving in
most cases the greater portion in
cash and a few goods.
Late in the evening it was discov-
cred that the check were forgeries
and Immediately search was insti-
tuted for the culprit. He was found
by the officers and placed in jail.
Monday he was given a prelimi-
nary hearing before Mayor Bridges,
who held him in default of bond to
await the action of the grand jury.

For over sixteen years The Two
Merry Tramps, a Musical Farce
Comedy with plenty of laughs, lots
of pep and pretty girls have toured
the country, gaining for itself re-
putation in the class with "The Old
Homestead" and other long run
shows. This attraction is billed to
appear for one night only at the
Blue Bird Theatre, Dec. 81. Unlike
most shows this attraction has new
er raised their prices. Fifteen years
ago this company only charged 81
for the best seats and the price has
always remained the same. The
management, claiming that packed
houses at 81 for the best seats is
better than a half house at higher
prices. Brought up-to-date the Two
Merry Tramps are offering all of the
late song numbers and snappy dan
ces. A Big Beauty Chorus of 'Sty-
lish Steppers" lent zest to the show.
The advance sale is now on and in
dlcations are that the S. r. o. Sing
will be in evidence here as it is eve-
rywhere else that this attraction has
played this season.
