vidian WYE Case
Closes Suddenly
Indictments Nolled-Paid 500
Fined Each-Case at New
Ulm Tuesday

The case of Vidian wye and Ed
ward Cutting came to sudden
termination at New Ulm Tuesday
morning, and the outcome of the
case was a surprise and no doubt
a great disappointment to a large
number of people in the county
who were in hopes that the men
would be found guilty of the orig
inal charges and dealt with Sc
verely. However, there are also
many in the county and in fact
over the entire state who are
pleased with the favorable termi-
nation of the famous case.
To the people of Sleepy Eye the
case was of especial interest for
it was here that Vidian WYE
made his headquarters while en-
gagged in the work assigned him by
the Food Administration. That he
instilled pep into his work can
be sworn to by the people of this
city whose minds are still fresh
with scenes of long strings of
teams loaded with wheat waiting
to be accommodated at the local
elevators. The checks for the
wheat were in most cases divided
and one-half of the amount turned
over to the Red Cross. Something
over $4,000 was placed to the
credit of the Red Cross in this
county which represented about
one-half of the wheat brought in.
Mr.. wye was assisted in his work
/ by Edward Cutting while here and
| it was claimed that they exceeded
their authority with the result
that the grand jury at the spring
term of COURT returned four in
dictmentS against them, three for
extortion and one for attempted
extortion.
| To those who fully realized the
Importance of marketing wheat al
that time, when the food supply in
France and Belgium was very low
and the call from Hoover fol
wheat was SO urgent, Mr.. Yves
. activities seemed in line with his
! duties, but to many others his at
| titude was objectionable and a.
! the activities of the war ceaset
i and the activities of the outsid,
/ agitators increased a wave of dis
content was fomented which re
lsulted in the grand jury indict

The cases against wye and Gut

consent of the County Attorne,

and Assistant Attorney Genera

dered the schools closed Monday noon
for term of two weeks. Monday
forty per cent of the pupils in the
grade schools and the students in the
high schoobtwere absent at the Mon
day forenoon session, either because
of being i'll themselves or because OF
illness in their families. The work
of the. schools was so seriously hand
icappe.d by the number of pupils alb

the schools until health conditions
will warrant full attendance.

SUGAR TO DROP.
SAYS WYCKOFF'
Cuban Product Now Moving
and Price May Be 4 Cents
Cheaper in Month.

A drop of about 4 cents a pound in
cane sugar within a month was predict
ed by Stanley wyekof, fair price com
missioner, Saturday.
The Cuban sugar crop now is moving
and sugar soon will reach New York
from Brazil, Porto Rico and other cen
trail and South American countries. -
Louisiana refiners, who are selling
sugar at s.65 cents1 pound, are quoting
It at is cents a round for February de-
livery, and 1 have heard Of some quota
tions as low as IA cents,'' said Mr..
Wyckoff.
"Cuban sugar is quoted in New York
today at from 10 to 1920 cents pound.
The embargo on the shipment of cane
sugar to the west was lifted Jan. 1, an !
cane sugar will be coming into Indian
apolis soon from the east"
Mr.. Wyckoff believes that sugar will
be purchased by wholesalers in Indisn-
apolis at 1858 q hundred pounds. To
this is to be added the q cent a pound
profit to the wholesaler and the 2-cent
a pound profit Of the retailer. This means
that sugar may sell az 1914 or 10 cents
a pound within q month.

WHOA! SPUDS
GOING UP AGAIN
Wholesale Prices to Advance
Next Week, and Onions
Rising, Too.

Wholesale prices of potatoes and
onions we're advanced saturday, effective
next week. Potatoes will cost the re-
tailers 81 a hundredweight. or 4 cents
pound. and onions So a hundredweight
or &c a pound.
This means that the consumer should
be forced to dig deeper into his bank
roll for two staples on the family menu
along the latter. part OF next week, 1t
being customary with retailers to keep a
stock on hand sufficient for his Gus
toners needs for several days.
Wholesalers say the price OF potatoes
has gone up at the shipping point and
this forces the advance Of today. Car
shortage and higher labor costs are two
of the prime causes given by shippers
for their increased price.
Onions are getting scarcer. Wholesalers
sav. ard IN all markets of the country
are commanding a higher prices Indian
apolis has been late in feeling the effect:
Of this condition, but the advance tackled
on to next weeks prices is in conformity
with their costs.
Along with the rise in the price Of po'
tatoes and onions viii come a drop In
price OF lemons and oranges. Oranges
we're reduced 25 to so cents a box and
lemons 81 box. Sudden drop in the de
mand following end Of the holidays
Wholesalers give as the reason.
Lemons now cost the retailer $3.50 to 81
a box and oranges 1925 to s. a box.

Yep, 1920's Leap Year

nay, view with alarm, the calendar for

to February. casual glance sufices

for February, 1920, contains twenty nine
days, 1920 being a leap year.
But this is not all The twenty ninth
day is Sunday, SO that the month will
carry FIVE Sabbaths on which maidens
may stalk their prey. Five days on
which, all business activities suspended,
bachelors can not seclude themselves in
the inner regions Of their offices, but
must come forth to run the gantlet.
And to make a bad matter worse, Fri
day Of the second week Of February falls
on the thirteenth.
Once In a century February has FIVE
Sundays and 1920 is the one-hundredth
year since a similar phenomenon oc-
Cured Everything considered 1926
should prove a lucky year for the girls
but to the bachelor contingent the twelve
months are filled with dark forebodings.

of Forest Tribes

WEBSTER, Mass, Jan. -.--Lured by
the present high market value of furs,
about 600 men and boys are engaged in
trapping skunks, muskrats, minks, foxes
and beavers.
Never in the history of this section
have the barns and sheds been bedecked
with such valuable coverings. Thousands
Of dollars worth of skins are hanging
on the walls to cure"
Fred Sherman of Sterling Hill, Conn,
nailed seventy five skunk skins upon the
wall of his barn in two weeks. His
catch is worth $500. His father, well
past 20 is a fox hunter who holds the
record in this district.
The meat of the skunk is not wasted.
The people have what they call ''skunk
dinners" Those who eat at these
dinners" say the meat is as good as
spring lamb.
