Frank O'Neil and John Irrthum,
two former members Of the federal
prohibition squad which has conducted d
raids in New Ulm on several occasions,
are in the Hennepin county Jail charg-
ed with stealing several thousand
dollars worth of liquor from the home
Of Martin Bredesen, 1880 Nicollet
Avenue, Minneapolis. O'Neil was dis
charged from the dry. squad two
months ago, according to M. L.

tion of Irrthum was secured last
Thursday morning after he was jailed.
~ Three Men Raid Home.
O'Neil in an alleged confession to
Leo j. Gleason, assistant Hennepin
county attorney, is said to have ad-
mitted going to Bredesen's home on
September 16 in the company, of
Irrthum and Charles (Whitey) Shean-
sy, a taxi driver. Bredesen was away
from home and Irrthum, flashing his
prohibition agents badge upon Bred
esen's wife and father, led the others
in a search of the place. .. ..
The three men, according to O'Neil' s
confession took from the house large
quantity of real bonded whisky, valued
at several hundred dollars. They
loaded the plunder upon a truck and
transported it to the home Of Sheansy
where they found James O'Keefe, a
taxi driver, and Tommy Dixon who
has served a year in the Minneapolis
work house in connection with a
murder case involving whisky deal
Raid Never Reported.
The whiskey was divided among the
five men, O'Neil is alleged to have said
without any report being made to
federal prohibition head quarters. Dry
heads, he admitted, were not aware Of
the raid and had not issued any
search warrants for the investigation
of Bredesen's home.
subsequently, according to O'Neil's
alleged confession, his share of the
whiskey was stolen from his house,

Nothing of any particular import
ance was transacted at the annual
meeting Of the Junior Pioneers held
Immediately after their banquet Satur-
day evening. Some plans for the
future were presented, but they nearly
died aborning. 1t is to be regretted
that with over $4,000 available, noth-
ing definite and immediate could be
agreed upon to carry out some Of the
principles laid down in the constitu-
tion of the association. It should be
kept in mind that the public at large
has quite generously supported all
Junior Pioneer activities on the theory
and with the understanding that the
funds so accumulated would at some
time be used in the interests Of the
people at large.
Plans For Use Of Money.
| A most spirited debate was brought
about when it was suggested that the
Junior Pioneers should acquire an
attractive spot on the Cottonwood
River for a picnic place and it was
urged that the Marschner wooden mills
property would be an ideal location.
Quite a number favored the PROPOSE
ltion but there was also considerable
Opposition. Those opposing the pro-.
| ject gave it as their view that the
lJunior Pioneers should not go into the
land buying business, that the mem,
bers living in the country preferred to
come to the city and would not take
kindly to the idea Of going out into
the country for an outing and good
time and that the money should pre-
ferably be spent for log cabin to be
erected at the Fair Grounds. Those
favoring the acquiring Of recreation
place for the organization urged it on
the grounds that it would have a
tendency to draw the members closer
together and make them feel more like
doing something for the organization
and incidentally would preserve for
future generations a beautiful spot
which in the near future might no
longer be available. This matter was
disposed Of by authorizing the presi-
dent to appoint committee Of five
to investigate the proposition thoroly
: and report the findings to the executive
committee who should be empowered
Ito call a special meeting for the pur-
Epose Of taking final action.
1 Members hip Discussed.
On the question Of who are to be con-
sidered members of the organization,
views differed widely. + developed
| in the course Of the discussion that
|quite number Of those carried on the
books had not paid any dues for some
years. It also developed that notices
for the payment Of dues had not been

Iplained the failure Of some to pay their
dues regularly. 1t was the consensus

The banquet of the Junior Pioneers
held Saturday evening at Turner Hall
was, as usual, a most enjoyable affair.
These social gatherings Of the organiza-
tion always bring out q great number
of the members who can not be at
tracted to the regular meetings and
one always finds much pleasure in
greeting those who once a year feel
the urge to mingle with other de-
scendents of the old pioneer families
and recall the days of their youth.
There is always much. pleasure also to
be found in visiting with those from.
out of town who make it a point to
come for this annual feast. The
weather this year kept some Of those
who live at a distance from attending
but even at that hundred or more sat
down to the banquet tables together.
Some of the usual faces were missed
also because so many of the members
had spent considerable time here dur
ing Home Coming week and could not
get away again so soon.
The Missing Pioneers.
One in particular who was missed
was the late Peter Mack, last survivor
Of the little band who first settled in
this vicinity and who laid the founda-
tions of New Ulm. His absence was
respectfully noted by one Of the speak
|ers, A. j. Alvin, who paid the little old
gentleman warm tribute, and by the
Eentire company whom Toastmaster
Graft called upon to stand in silent
tribute to the memory of those who
have gone on the longer journey to a
newer land. s5. I. .
Program Of Talks and Music.
After an excellent dinner served by
the Turner ladies, j. p. Graf who had
been chosen by the program COM
mittee to conduct the program, called
upon "a. j. Alvin as the first speaker,
after assuring the assembled guests
that he had warned all the speakers
Ito be brief in order that the older
people might not become wearied
from sitting too long. Mr.. Alvin de-
cided to entertain the guests with
stories Of occurrences Of the early days
and he certainly succeeded in his plan
| for each effort was rewarded with
hearty laughter. Mr.. Alvin is in
imitable IN his rendition Of the various
dialects that were common in and
about the settlement when he was q
boy and his words brought back vivid
pictures Of the men and women whom
he portrayed in humorous vein. #
The toastmaster next called upor
Miss Frances Krook for musica

headed by Fire Chief Henry Engel.
The meeting has been called by
S. A. Brown of Window, president of
the Southwestern Minnesota Firemen's
association, following the proclama-
tion OF Governor Preus setting aside

Fire Causes Huge Loss.
In his proclamation Governor Preus
pointed out that year by year the de-.
lstruction of property by fire. has been
lmounting until the total annual loss
now is about $485, ,000, 900. In Min
nesota alone the fire loss for five. years
reached total Of nearly $42,000,000.
Worse than the destruction Of, valuable
property is the toll Of human life
through fire. The average number Of
1persons burned to death each day in
| the United States is said to be 49,.
''NearlySan Of these fires could be
prevented" the proclamation points

wood when there was a terrific ex-
plosion.
Mr.. Boures, while relating his stor,
to representative of the State Fire
,Marshal's Office just before he died,
remarked that on the previous day he.
had bought one gallon of kerosene
from garage as he had in the past
number of years. AS the night was

coal in order to keep a fire all night.
Some Of the coal was still smoldering

POTATO DISEASE
is DECREASING

A. & NJ. College, Miss, Sept. 20
In statement today that the amount
of disease among sweet potatoes In
Mississippi was noticeably decreas-
ing, ID. G. Neal, Plant PathOlOgist
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, asserted that far more COM
plants of loss from rotting were
made by farmers and county agents
a few years ago than at present, and
attributed this condition to the fact
that growers generally are informing
themselves about sweet potato dis
eases and adopting the precautions
necessary to prevent rotting.
An important measure urged at
this time is the thorough cleaning
and disinfectiOn of storage houses.
In a personal letter, the State Plant
Board has already appealed to all
storage house owners to clean and
disinfect their houses before putting
in the new crop, and any grower
expecting to store his potatoes in a
curing house should insist on its dis
infection as rightful protection to
his interests The storage house should
be cleaned out carefully and sprayed
thoroughly with a solution made
by dissolving 1 pound Of copper
sulphate (bluestone) in % gallons
of water, or solution made of /
pint of commercial formalin in 30
gallons of water may be used. Either
a knapsack sprayer or compressed
air sprayer is excellent for applying
these solutions, or if sprayer is not
available a mop will serve the pur-
pose.
Equally satisfactory results may
be obtained with a solution of l ounce
Of bichloride of mercury in gallons
of water, adding enough lime to
give the consistency of ordinary
whitewash. This may be applied with
a whitewash nozzle or with mop.
All crates or containers should also
be dipped into one of these solutions.
Another important precaut1on
urged is the hand culling of all po-
tatoes before placing in the storage
house. Care in this operation Will
almost eliminate Black Rot from po-
tatoes stored in clean houses. For
any information about sweet potato
diseases. or the disinfectiOn OF pota-
to storage houses, write the State
Plant Board, A. & M. College, Miss

LEAKE COUNTY
GIRL STUNG BY
FLANNEL MOTH

A. & NJ. College, Miss, Sept. 20
Stung by a small brown caterpillar
with coat of woody hair and back
shaped like a house top, young girl
at Lena. in Leake County, recently
suffered such excruciating pain as to
require two visits from physician,
according to report just received
by the State Entomologist, who pro-
nounced the insect larva of the
Crinkled Flannel Moth.
Specimens of this insect are often
received during the late summer or
early fall with reports of severe pain
caused by their stings. Cases are
recorded in which it was several
months before the wound healed, and
in one instance a finger joint was
stiff for many years as a result OF a
sting from one of these caterpillars.
There are several kinds of flannel
moths, variously called rabbit
moths, or ''puss moths, in Missis-
sippi, and the Entomologist, at A. 4
NJ. College, will be glad to receive
specimens of any worms thought to
have poison stings, together with
some leaves of the plant on which
they are feeding.

COOLER WEATHER-MORE LICE


A. & NJ. College, Miss, Sept. %
with cooler weather coming on, get
ready to fight plant lice on turnips,
radishes, mustard, lettuce, and other
vegetables" is the advice of the
State Plant Board to Mississippi
gardeners. These pests often ruin
garden crops in the early spring and
late fall, but by getting sprayers
and spray materials ready now, their
damage can be prevented.
Due to extremely cold weather,
plant lice are not usually abundant
in winter and their natural enemies
hold them in check during the sum
mer. but the cool weather of fall
destroys their natural enemies and
the lice begin multiplying rapidly.
TurnipS and mustard are often COM
pletely ruined by them.
Contact sprays are advised as the
lice are sucking insects and cannot
be killed by poison. Among the
sprays recommended are soap solu-
lions, kerosene emulsion, nicotine
sulphate solution, and home made
tobacco extract Any of these sprays
will kill the lice if applied thorough
ly to the under side of the leaves.
To do this, the spray rod should
have an upturned elbow, or
straight rod may be used by having
a child walk rapidly along the row
holding the leaves up with a stick
or broom while the spray is being
applied, treating only one side of the
row at the time.
circular on plant lice, giving
directions for making and applying
the above spray solutions, can be
obtained by writing the State Plant
Board. A & M. College, Miss.

MERIDIAN MAKES BIG FIGHT
COmbats Argentine Ant With 10000
Cane of Do;c0n

A K NJ College, Miss, Sept. 20
The largest Argentine Ant control
campaign ever attempted in Missls-
sippi is now going on in Meridian.
NJ. r. Smith, Ant Specialist, and
HI. H. Kimball, Chief Inspector OF
the State Plant Board, are directing
the work of putting out more than
10000 cans of poison in the infested
areas which cover the entire city
and even extend beyond the corpo-
ration limits. This fight against the
ants will cost the city approximately
$4,000, but if the expected results
are obtained it will be worth many
times its cost.
The State Plant Board, with its
limited force also engaged in sweet
potato inspection, sweet potato
weevil eradication, and pink boil
worm work especially, is being
rushed to meet the demands for ant
campaigns all over the State. Wood
vile, with two successful campaigns
to her credit, has again ordered sup
plies and is ready to start the th1rd
fight Aberdeen, after putting out
1900 cans of poison last fall, Is
again lined up and waiting for the
campaign to begin. Laurel, Hazle-
hurst, and Greenwood are also ready
for the fray, while the people OF
Goodman, without waiting for
survey, have already raised funds
for controlling their obnoxious tor
mentors. All the towns will be reach
ed just as rapidly as possible.
The recent discovery of the Ar
gentine Ant at Morton, Fayette, and
Centerville makes a total of 90 IN
tested towns in Mississippi. The
ants are probably in other towns
and anyone suspecting their presence
should send specimens to the En-
tomologist, State Plant Board, A. u
