Kennedy

County Auditor C. L. Kennedy
has received the following letter
from the state tax commission
which is self explanatory:
1--WE are pleased to inform you
that there will be no change III
your real estate assessment either
plated or unplatted, for the year
1922, and the returns submitted to
the tax commission by you will re-
main unchanged"
while the valuations returned
are not quite as high as the data in
the hands of the tax commission
indicate they should be, yet in view
of the depressed business condi-
lions that exist generally through
out the country, we are inclined to
equalize values on very conserva-
tive basis this year."
The commission takes this OPP
portunity of complimenting you and
the other members of the county
board OF equalization for the salts
factory return made by you. We are
now engaged in equalizing personal
property and we hope to be able "
advise you Of any change to be
made within very short time"

ocieal speaker last hseht II a
meeting held at Loyoia hall for the
ruTpose of organizing a section of
saat organization in Minnesota. The
aeeting was called to order and op
ened with prayer by Rev. Father j.
3. Theis, pastor of st. Peter and ST.
Paul's Catholic church, who then in
troduced the speaker of the evening.
Rev. Father Theis explained that the
rIrpose of the organization was to
unite all Catholic women in the
United States into one national
body.
Rev. Hoffman laid particular en-
phasis on the truly Christian home,
missions, nurses, confidence between
mothers and daughters, and also re-
adopted at the Detroit convention of
the Catholic IYomens Union
throughout his address, which was
listened to with great interest.
Rev. Holman said:
THE home is the unit of society.
In a truly Christian home, father and
mother work in harmony, each try
ing to help and please one another,
ever watchfLl over their children
teaching them love of God, love,
obedience and respect not only to
themselves, but also to the laws of
the state. Surely, in an age like the
present, where all is turmoil, chill
dren brought UP in an atmosphere
of this kind will make better citizens
than children brought up in a home

and were mother and father, when
tired Of one another, get a divorce.
Catholic Women by regulating
and systematizing their Homework
will find that they have extra time
on their hands which might well be
utilized by visiting the sick, making
articles for the poor, or missions,
nursing or other social work.
There is such demand for
nurses, both hospital and community,
that the speaker advised Catholic
girls to take up this profession, thus
rendering great Service to human
ity a,,.., ,oo., 49,, .oo.asoo =.

Minneapolis Police
Nabbed Bandit Gang
Tale Told BY Kidnapped Girl Result
ed In important Arrest of Five
Men and Woman,
TAssociated Press Dispatch.

ASSOCIATED Press Dtspatch.1
Minneapolis, September 28.-A tale
told by a thirteen year old girl Of
being kidnapped and held prisoner
with a young companion in a room
resulted in the arrest in Minneapolis
today of four men and a woman as
members of a bandit gang alleged to
have been, engaged in a gun fight
with the police and committed a
series of holdups here. Search Is
being conducted for fifth man be-
lieved to have been wounded in the
fight, who is regarded as the leader
of the band.
Those under arrest are Louis Nc
earthly, forty five, John Begeski,
eighteen, James Whittier, alias
Skinner, fifty and seventeen year
old youth, all of Chicago, and Beat
rice Deadly, twenty one and Evelyn
Hanson, eighteen, of La Crosse,
Wis.
The tale of kidnapping was unfold
ed by Louise Chapman after a four
days absence. The story seemed so
preposterous at the time that the
authorities were skeptical. Louise
said that she and Alvera Nelson, six
teen years old, were out walking Sep
TENDER Il when three men accost-
ed them. -.G
These men, she said, took them to
a restaurant where the girls were
either drugged or supplied with liq-
uor. They were then taken to the
room where they were kept prisoner
four days and nights.
After the four days imprisonment
Louise explained the vigilance of the
men relaxed and she and her COM
panion escaped. The girls story re-
suited in a raid of the house and the
arrest of its occupants. Search of
the room revealed some loose dia-
monds, skeleton keys, rings, Hash
lights and masks, police said.

Il believe the council has
nothing to say about the legal
