As in a nightmare the squatter girl
.blundered along the path, back to the
hut, carrying Wee Jerry In her arms.
Granny Hope was hobbling from the
coop-hoie when the girl stumbled over
the threshold.

limping across the floor, she bent and

Mr. REFD N WISCONSIN.

Mh. REED IN WISCONSIN.
THE following from the St Louis
Post-Dispatch IS sufficiently clear to.
require no comment.
Senator Reed says he has been
unfairly treated BY the Post Dispatch
regarding the part he took IN the
Wisconsin campaign in 1920. The
question was raised BY a statement
Of Mr.. Reeds opponent, Mr.. Long
that II never went to Wisconsin and
campaigned for a Republican for
United States Senator" In reply MI.
Reed declared that aAny man who.
said / eampaigned for a Republican
in Wisconsin is a liar" He explain
ed that he went to Wisconsin to try
to de3sat the Republican Senator,
Mr.. Lenroot, who was seeking re-
election, and further said that he had
been entertained by the Democratic
committees where he spoke.
"The issue of veracity between the
two candidates in the democratic
senatorial primary seemed to the
POST Dispatch a matter sof genuine
public interest. Was Mr.. Long right
or was Mr.. Reed right? What were
the facts? The place to- get the
facts, obviously, was Wisconsin, and,
accordingly, a member of the staff
was sent there. he got the facts
from a man who should be familiar
with them, namely, the chairman Of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee Of Wisconsin, John P. Hume.
"Mr. Hume's statement has been
printed in the Post Dispatch. Sum
married. it is this: There three
candidates for the United States Sen
ate in Wisconsin, two Republicans
and one Democrat. Lenrcot was the
regular Republican nominee and
James Thompson wasthe Independent
Republican, who had the support Of
the La Toilette machine. The Dem.
ocratic candidate was Paul ;
Reinsch, a man of distinction, a for.
mer member Of the faculty OF Wis
cousin University, who had served al
| Minister to China under Presiden'
Wilson, a student of international at
fairs.
"The issue was the League of Ma
tions. Lenroot, the regular Repub
lican, was for the League, with reser
vations. Thompson, the La Follett'
Republican, whose election Reed ad
vocated, was opposed TO the League
unqualifiedly. Reinschs the Democrat
was for the League. Senator Reeds
campaign in Wisconsin was agains
the Democratic party's policy ant
platform, for which Reinsch stood.
"Mr. Reed never spoke a word TO
the Democratic candidate. Chairman
Hume says nor was he entertained b!
Democratic committees as such. H
came to Wisconsin to help elect tn
LasFolette candidate, was exploite'
by the La Toilette followers.
aThat is what the chairman Of tn
Democratic STATED Central Committe
of Wisconsin says. 1t is official Tn
Post Dispatch believes il is true. 1
"Mr. Reed is not accused, on thi
score, by the Post Dispatch or by ou
political writer. MI. Reed is accuse
by the Democratic organization
Wisconsin ;. and convicted by tn
facts II n. !, A.

III be back before any Of Old Mares
apies turn over for another nap"
Polly knew her father well enough
aet to make another appeal. She
dressed Wee Jerry at Jeremiah's COM
mand, and then, troubled in spirit,
watched him stride away In the keen
xaeFning air.
II had been decided among the
squatter men that to keep the breath
Of life In their women and children
they must hunt aud fish. but that
nothing should be caught that the law
forbade. 1t was this thought that was
running through the squatter's mind
an he crept up to see II a woodchuck
had ventured out. One was sitting
up, taking a suvey Of the neigh
borhood, when Hopkins lifted his gun ;
and with one sharp crack and a belch
of smoke the furry fellow tumbled
over.
The sQuatter strobe forward and
YVES in the act Of picking It up when
three men appeared as II they had
sprung from the earth and with raised
pistols closed In upon him.
Jeremiah's huge jaw dropped at the
sight Of them, and Wee Jerry's fingers
caught tight hoid Of his shaggy hair.
~Drop that gum" cried one man, and
the still smoking rifle fell to the earth.
II took but a moment to snap a pair
Of handouts about the daEed mans
wrists. 1t was while Jeremiah's face
was turned upward to quiet the
screaming Jerry that one OF the men
quickly substituted a dead squirrel
and another went away with the dead
woodchuck. Then the third slipped b
chain around one Of Daddy's wrists
md led him down the hill to the rag,

ALL.DAY MEETING
League of Women Voters, at City
Hall, Monday, Sept.

Last week the w. C. T. u. gave out
large number of cards to our citi-
zens. On each card was white star.
and below it the words, Serve Amer
lea, Support the Constitution"
The only request made was this:
vote for the men, your conscience
tells you will best carry out the
thought expressed on this little card.
Now in order to vote intelligently,
it is necessary to know the character
of those for whom you vote. Perhaps
the men have voted so many years
they need no instruction, but voting
is new work for the women, so we
need help.
With this thought in mind the
League of Women Voters has ar
ranged with the "City Fathers" for
an all-day meeting in the City Hall,
Monday, September A, beginning at
9 o'clock a. m.
Different members of the League
will be there to give out printed ma
terial from state Authorities, show
ing the standing of the candidates
for nomination to Office at the pri-
maries Sept. 5.
1t is desired that every woman will
take this opportunity to become in
diligently informed.
Perhaps many of you have receiy-
ed circulars giving information, but
come and let us talk over this work
together and help each other, SO we
may go to the primary Tuesday and
carry Wisconsin with big majority
for the RIGHT MEN.
At 2:30 p. m. the members of the
Improvement League will be called
together for a short business meet
ing. This will be followed by BUSH
ness meeting of the League of Wom-
en- Voters.
Keep in mind the Primary, Sept s..

FRED FLOPS AS USUAL

A number of River Falls boxing
fans motored to the Twin Cities Fri
day night and witnessed the fistic
program at Lexington Park.
The main bout, Billy Miske VS..
Fred Fulton, ended almost directly
after the referee signaled for the OPP
ening gong, Fred doing his usual
snappy dive into the rosin. This did
not end the entertainment, however,
as an impromptu affair was staged by
Mike Collins, Whitley Fulton and
others when Hudson's former citizen
rushed into the ring and spoke un-
kindly to the still dazed plasterer.
In the melee Collins nose retarded
one of Whitey's angry gestures, the
claret flowed, and there was much
harsh language unbecoming social
affair of such refinement.
The Minnesota Boxing Commits
sion, it is said, will suspend all who
took active part in the unscheduled
battle, but as that body's power is
apparently limited to the issuing of
diplomatic notes and newspaper corr
respondence, nothing is expected to
come of it.
As is usual with the programs that
feature one big main event, the real
boxing entertainment was furnished
by the prelims., who were probably
fortunate to be admitted to the
grounds free of charge.
