THIEVES OATS
Eggert's Granary Visited at Night and
80 Bushels of Horse Proven
der is Carried Off.
Wagon Used to Haul Away Plumber
But No Clue to Perpetrators
$25 Reward Offered.

Nocturnal thieves are plying their
nefarious calling in this part Of the
country and it would be we'll for far
mcrs end others to keep loaded shot
guns near ct hand for use in emer-
gcncies. The midnight prowler who
enters mans premises, whether
seeking plumber or not, is entitled to
no mercy, so if you discover one of
these scoundr lis on your place pepper
him with a load from your sawed off
shotgun end the law will uphold you.
Shoot first before the prcwler gets
the drop on you-do not hesitate.
On Friday night last the farm of
Fred Eggert, in Princeton township
YVES visited by robber or robbers,
end about 80 bushels of oats stolen
from his granary. Mr.. Eggcrt was not
at homc at the time, but his family
who had retired, heard the dogs bark
ing in the middle of the night
thought that perhaps a cat had been
tried and consequently paid little at
tention to the incident. The next
morning, however, when Mr.. Eggert
went to his granary he discovered
what had created the commotion
among the dogs-SO bushels of oats
had disappeared and the wheel marks
of wagon were conspicuous. In con-
sequence of the condition of the roads
it was, however, impossible to trail the
wagon for any distance.
The thieves probably knew that Mr.
Eggert was away from home and took
advantage of the opportunity. AS
they used wagon to carry off the
loot it is not supposed that they came
from a great distance. Had an auto
mobile been utilized the suspicion
would rest on bandits who run out
from Minneapolis o'nights. 1t will be
remembered that a few months ago
robbers in an auto killed and carried
off calves and chickens from farms in
the vicinity of Prirceton.
Mr.. Eggert offers reward of $25
ito the person who will give such in
formation as will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the thieves.
Keep your shotguns where you can
readily reach them and don't be afraid
to shoot.

A Popular PrOpOsal.

Senator Smoot proposes thorough
reorganization of all the executive de-
partments Of the government, the
elimination Of scores of Implications
the speeding up of public business by
doing away with interminable red
tape, and in short the putting Of ma
tional executive affairs on business
basis approximating that of the great
industrial interpretations of the coun-
try. His resolution provides, in a
phrase, for the abandonment of waste
full and ridiculous circumlocutions in
conducting the affairs Of the govern

sound and direct business methods.

Motorists, Attention.


The following are extracts from the
manual for motorists, compiled from
the state laws by Julius A. Schmahl:
Breaks, Horns, Lamps and Mufflers
All motor vehicles must be provided
with brakes sufficient to control the
vehicle at all times; an adequate horn,
bell or other device for signaling.
From one hour after sunset to one
hour before sunrise the driver of a
motor vehicle must display two lighted
lamps from the front and one from the
rear from such motor vehicle-red
light from the rear. The light from
the rear must fall upon the number so
Jas to make it plainly visible for a dis
lance of at least 200 feet from the
direction in which the motor vehicle is
travelling.
Must Not be Left Unattended-No
motor vehicle shall be permitted to
stand upon any public street, highway
or any other way unattended with the
motor running.
Mufflers-Every motor vehicle using
gasoline as motive power shall use a
muffler, and the same shall not be cut
out or disconnected within the limits
of any city, village or town in this
state or at the time of passing horse
or other animal, led, ridden or driven
upon the public highway
Speed Rates-Where the highway
passes through the closely built up
portions of any city, town or village in
this state, where traffic is congested,
if the speed exceeds ten miles an hour
for distance Of more than one-tenth
of a mile, it is prima facie evidence
that the speed is not reasonable.
If in the residence portions of any
city, town or village the speed is great
er than fifteen miles per hour for a
distance of one-tenth Of mile it is
prima facie evidence that the speed is
not reasonable.
Outside of Corporate Limits-Out-
side the limits of incorporation of
cities, towns and villages, if the speed
exceeds twenty-five miles per hour for
distance of one-quarter of mile it
is prima facie evidence that the speed
is not reasonable.
The foregoing is published by order
of the Princeton village council and
all violators Of the same will be ar
rested and penalized as the law d.

county seat election. What happens {?

county seat election. What happens :?
Why the county goes right along on
its present course at full speed. Bust
ness is promptly and readily handled
without confusion, disorder and errors.
Our big road campaign can be carried
through without complications. The
Scenic highway extension to the Crow
Wing county line this year will not
be endangered in any way There
need be no large addition made to our
outstanding Indebtedness. We will
save the unnecessary costs Of moving
the plant and the costs and uncertain
ties Of several bond elections. Our
credit will be conserved ard will be in
better shape to stand the strain of
extra road building this year. On top
of all this Milaca would have a right
to reopen the whole question within
five years of the present election. It's
case five years from now would be a
far better one for the voters to pass
on than right now, when conditions
are all abnormal and all the signs of
wisdom and economy point towards the
postponement of this county seat re-
moval.
Economists tell us to save our mon
ey during the high market times, to
hoard it up for the day when things
come back to normal or fall little be-
low normal, then go out and make our
saved up money go twice or three
times as far as it would have gone
when the market was at the peak.
This sounds logical, doesn't it?
