DANCE RESORTS I
COME UNDER |. ! ]. /; BAN
NICOLLET co. TOWN TRUSTEES
TAKE ACTION TO CLOSE
UP PAVILION.
JOS. HOFFMAN, OF RIDGELY
ARREsTEDFOR OPERATING
WlTHoUTLIcENsE.

A Dance pavilions in Nicollet County
are not much in favor with the officials
who are supposed to safeguard law
and order and last week the super
visors of Ridgely township started
action to abate what. is considered q
nuisance. Similar action was taken in
Milford and Cottonwood Townships,
Brown County, early this year and in
those divisions all dance halls and
paMlions must have a license if they
wish to operate. There has been no
trouble Of late in this county altho the
Fischer pavilion at Searles caused the
officials a great deal of annoyance
during the spring and legal action was
taken to close the place. Something
similar is happening now in Ridgely.
Owner Arrested.
Last week JOS Hoffman, who has
been conducting dance pavilion at
his farm home was arrested by the
authorities, charged with operating q
dance hall without the for1nality Of
securing permit from the town board.
The pavilion was formerly located at
St. George and was purchased by Hoff-
mann last spring and removed to his
farm. The town board were not
pleased with this action and in June
passed a resolution declaring that all
such places must secure license
William Ia Framboise, another promi.
uent resident Of Ridgely made the
complaint against Hoffman, and the
Sheriff served the warrant last week
Will Fight Case.
Hoffman, has engaged q New Uln
attorney to handle his defense. Wher
he came up before Judge Miller at st
Peter he entered a plea Of not guilty
and viii proba bly, fight the case. The
hearing was postponed until time
suitable to the attorneys, to be desig'
mated later. Co. Atty. 'Oleson Of St
Peter will prosecute. sfst 35.t. .5'.'
It is said that these country dance
halls have become a reproach to al
decency, that runkenness and othel
forms of. carousing are common and
that the young people Of the cities and
villages as we'll as those Of the country:
side are being corrupted by the lax;
ness that prevails. It is not charged

Snodgrass Endorsed by the Demo
Gratis of Cedar County and His
Nomination Urged.

To the Democratic voters of the
10th Senatorial District.
The Democratic Organization and
the Democrats of Cedar County most
heartily indorse the candidacy OF
Samuel M. Snodgrass Of Ell Dorado
ST rings for the Democratic nomina-
ton as State Senator for the 10th
Senatorial District in the August
primary.
The Democrats of Cedar County
urge his nomination for the follow
ing reasons:
1. His entire record in our coun-
try Isl such rs to inspire the utmost
confidence in his fitness for this posi-
ton and his record as the represen-
tative of this county in the 47th Cen
cral Assembly abundantly justifies
his elevation to the senate.
2. Cedar county feels justified i'll
askinp the nomination of her candi-
date for the reason that the Demo-
Gratis of this county have been most
loyalty supporting candidates from
other counties of this district for half
a century and have been honored but
once with nomination.
3. The location of Mr.. Snodgrass
is ideal for gathering strength to all
the Democratic candidates selected
from this district.
4. The nomination OF Mr.. Snod-
grass will prevent the possible poll
teal blunder of punching the can
didates in any one locality Of the
district.
Mr.. Snodgrass ID thorough Mis-
scurian and has the alb lity and ex-
perence to represent all the inter
ests of the district. He ought by all
means TO be nominated. We there
fore urge his nomination and cleo
ton.

Certified Seed Wheat.

On the inspection trip for good
pure wheat fields c. E. Carter and
County Agent Drymon found more
good clean wheat fields than were eS-
pected. Several fields were inspected
that would not pass the test, having
too many impurities such as loose
smut, wild onions, cookie, and mixed
wheat.
Five fields, however, passed the in
spection in good shape and no DOUBT
there are others in the county that
are just as good but the owners did
40. ask4or them to be inspected. The
five fields of good wheat are as tol-
lows:
2s acres Fuicaster variety owned BY
I. A. O'dea, Butler, route a.
60 acres Fulcaster variety owned BY
Claude Baker, Butler.
100 acres Fulcaster variety owned
by w. z. Baker, Rich HiA.
90 acres Poole variety (tested), J..
v Bradley, Rich Hill.
Il acres Fulcaster variety owned BY
John Mock, Appleton City.
Other requests have come to the
office and those fields will be IN
spected in the near future. Other
tests will be made after the wheat Is
threshed and if the wheat passes
these it is eligible to be certified and
soA over the state as certified seed
wheat.
Other fields will be inspected if re-
quests get in 10 the County Agent be-
fore wheat cutting is in full swing.

date for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator made an
old time Democratic speech in the
court house here Tuesday evening to
all audience of over five hundred
women and men.

represented by large delegations Of
enthusiastic Democrats.

speech, Mr.. Long mentioned neither
his candidacy nor his opponent, but
opened his speech with discussion Of
the present economic situation and
charged that the depression is due
solely to the governmental policies
of the Republican party and ex-
planned how the Republican policy of
national isolation has destroyed the
world markets for the surplus pro-
ducts of the United States with espe-
cially disastrous results to the pro-
ducts Of the farm. He explained to
his audience how President Wilson
had planned as a part of his foreign
policies, which the Republicans had
rcpudated, an early re-estabiishment

~stabilization of the markets of the
world. The mention of the name OF
Woodrow Wilson brought forth EN-
thusiastic and prolonged applause
Quoting statistics to substantiate his
statement he told how the value OF
American products slumped more
than one-half within twelve months
after the Harding adm 'nistration put
its policies into force.
Explaining the. operation of the
Lever food control act and the min
imum wheat guarantee he showed
how finder it's operation the gamblers
in food supplies were prevented from
manipulating the market at the ex-
pense of the farmers and told the
farmerA in his audience that it is not
a question of what the wheat price
might have been without the govern
ment guarantee, but question OF
how much less they are getting now,
and why.
Attacking the tariff bill now before
congress as a more Infamous meas
are than the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
which the people of the United States
had repudiated, he said it would COM
plete the almost accomplished de-
At-uction of the world markets of the
country and further tend to heavily
increase the prices of manufactured
articles to the people of the United
States. In this connection he. point
ed out that dotted Swiss dresA goods
will, under the new tariff bill, retail
for twice their present cost; that the
bill provides tax of $r.2o per dozen
on cotton handkerch:efs and four
cents per yard on apron ginghams, all
OF which must be paid by the con-
sumer. The large anufacturing in
te,ests who contributed the most to
the Republican icampaign, funds, he
saia, were the ones who would profit
most BY the Republican tariff bill.
Denouncing use of large slush funds
as practiced by the Republican party.
he reminded his audience of the dis
-covery Of $z26oso y currency in .
safety deposit vault in the name OF
Bcise Penrose after his death the
money being unaccounted for in his
estate and in bills of large denomi-
nation. The Republican party. Mr..
Long said. is permeated with the
smea of "Goldstain" and Newberry.
He closed his speech with glow
arg tribute to Woodrow Wilson and
predicted sweeping state and national
Democratic victories this fall.

Fine Barn Burned.

Thursday night of last week the
barn on the farm of Henry Lair, OF

which were burned. Several teams of

The schedule relating TO chemi-

This schedule involves the dye In

whether the duty on dyes and dye
