General William Weigel, who Com
manded the Cloverleaf Boys of the
eighty eighth from Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska. Minnesota, The Dakotas,
Montana Illinois and Wisconsin,
overseas. And the declaration of
their popular wartime leader now
in Staten Island. New York, is
echoed by every former Cloverleaf
from Maine to California.
. Not only will the twin cities and
the great state of Minnesota honor
the Cloverleaf Boys with doings at
Fort Smelling and at the Minnesota
state fair, where divisional parade
will be held September 2, but on
Sunday September there will be a
big field day Of sports to which the
governors of the boys home states
have been invited, as well as Gov
ernor General Sir Julian Byng of
Canada, famous in Flanders during
the big eight. Uncle Sam will help
military reviews, ETC., and the Fort
Smelling. Commandment, Colonel
Bjornstad, says he will shoot off
every gun at the Fort in honor of
his guests, who will be housed in
army barracks free of charge and
may secure good meals for the en-
tire three days of the reunion, Sep

Everyone connected. with ar.

the cooperation of the war depart
ment, the Minnesota state fair as
sociation, and all concerned; and
everything points to huge and en-
joyable encampment of the boys
who wore the lucky four leafed
clover on their shoulder when they
hiked and fought together.

ATTACKS BY STRANGE ANIMAL.
Beast Has Made Its Appearances
Near Rochester

Rochester, Mimi. August 12.-An,
animal so new ana strange that
three or four men, living near Ma
bel, southeast OF Rochester, were
not able to identify it, was discov-
cred there this week A Mr.. Belts
living short distance west of Ma
bel. was attached by the strange
animal, and was also nearly lrigh-
tened out of his wits. In spite of
being the victim Of the ferocious
assault of the beast, Mr.. Belts was
unable to say just what sort of ami
NAL it was. r9r
While walking through the woods,
Belts found himself attacked by the
beast which jumped upon him from
a tree. The man escaped the jaws
and claws of the beast and ran to
the Sigur Erickson farm for help.
Adolph Wang, Alfred Hoff, and Laws
renee 1evrson returned with him to
the spot where he was preyed upon
by the unknown.
the men were armed with rlfaas
and shot guns and were accompan-
led by four hounds. But the strange
animal managed to- escape before.
any of the men were able to ge,
in shot or the hounds were able
to catch 1t. None of the men were
able to identify the beast.
The question is: What strange
animal is roaming the woods within
a comparatively short distance from
Rochester. imperiling the lives of
the citizens?

VALUE OFMAINTENANCE
SHOWN ON HIGHWAYS.
In Excellent Condition.;
Other Se~+inns Bad

Value OF careiul maintenance on
graveled roads is no better illustrat
ed than on the road from Mankato
to Minneapolis via LIE Sueur, Jor-
dan and Shakopee. From Mankato
to Jordan, the road is again in ex-
cellent shape and it is significant
that just after the rain of Friday
there were seven graders employed
on this end of the road, all taking
advantage of the wet gravel to re-
condition the roads which had be-
come somewhat pitted through the
long drought.
From Jordan to Lyndale Avenue,
the road Is now in condition
scarcely fit for driving and it also
Is significant on that long stretch Of
road, there was not single grader,
observed at work after the rain or
during the rain of Friday. The road
in the farther half is pitted from
ditch to ditch and it affords no re-
lief to the driver to change his
course on the highway as the same
condition prevails over the entire
surface.

CAMP
EVENTS ARE LISTED
SOLDIER LADS SING PRAISE
OF FRANK CLAGUE
OFF FOR DRILL TASKS
Longer Time at It Because of
An Increased Coin
Appropriation

Members of the Fifth Regiment,
under command of Colonel Walter
S. Fulton upon their departure for
camp at Lake City this morning.
had nothing but words OF praise
from Congressman Frank Clague.
Owing. to cutting down of appro
priations by congress for national
guard purposes, it had been plan
ned to have the boys of the Fifth
in camp but ten days, and all prep
arations had been made for that
length of time at Camp Lucius F.
Hubbard. Last night, however,
Colonel w. S. Fulton received a tel
egram from Congressman Frank
that he had induced the war de-
partment to make an extra appro-
pr.ation which will enable the regi-
ment TO remain the full two weeks
in camp instead of the ten days.
Colonel Fulton this morning said:
The officers and men of the Fifth
Regiment are certainly singing the
praises Of Congressman Clague. this
morning for his efforts in securing
the additional appropriation, for the
full fifteen days in camp. This is not
the only time that Congressman
Clague has secured special favors
for this regiment at Washington,
and officers and men alike feel very
grateful to him."
One hundred and seventy five
men left for camp this morning in
the best of health and spirits. Maj
or e. A. Dahl, commander of the
Medical Detachment. says that he
&c fn fN
cry man of the regiment in good
health in camp. He has a fine bunch
of young men in his detachment to
back him up in the work.
Precision of Clock Work
1t was the precision of clock work

trained this morning at six o'clock
at the Great Western depot. A few
of the most fond sweethearts of the
troops sleepy eyed but anxious to
see their soldier boys away. One
lad reached out of the window and
tried to kiss very pretty girl good
bye, but the lady blushed and would
not go through the Romeo and Jul
let act with him. He hung to her
hand however until the girl was
running to keep up with the train.
1t was tenor voice, which would

Mankato contingents expect to
reach at 10:40 and camp at Lake
City at 11:40 this forenoon.
The members of the Fifth Regi-
ment were all feeling. good this
morning as they were making their
start to camp. Owing to the fact
that Peter De Witt, who had been
acting as director of the band had
resigned, DR.. r. w. Lowery of
Worthington last night was elected
leader of the band. Mr.. Lowery is

at the head of the old Second Reg
lent band which left here for the
Mexican border. He is considered
one Of the best band directors in
the state.

Especial to The Free Press.l


Evanston, ILL.,, August 12.-Many
letters from leading American wo,
men protesting against any change
in the Volstead law, have been re-
oeiyed by the Union Signal, the Of
fetal publication Of the National
Women's Christian Temperance
Union, that publication announced
today. Among the statements made
public By the publication were the
following:
Frances e. Burns, Great Comman-
der Ladies of the Maccabees:
For thirty years / have been
working with group of $4,000 wo.
men, and have seen the difficulties
many women had to meet In con-
nection with the drink problem. Ev-
erywhere women are expressing to
me the gratifying change which has
resulted since the eighteenth
Amendment, stating that for the
first time in many years the wages
of the head of the family are used
for the benefit of the home and fam
lily instead of being spent in the
saloon"
Mrs. Florence Kelley, President
National Consumers League
Among the visiting nurses the tes-
timony is uniform that ability to pay
a moderate sum for nursing care Is
far more widespread than ever be-
fore. Teachers in the public schools
in the working class districts tell me
that they are far less often called
upon to buy or beg shoes for the ptis
pills whose fathers are living"
B.. From Maude Rallington Booth
Maude Ballington Booth: My
work lies chiefly in the prisons. It
is there that | see the difference.
have been told by number of our
wardens that prohibition has cut
down the number of arrests am
positive from my experience In the
homes of the poor that prohibition
will promote health, prosperity and
happiness of the family"
Katherine D. Blake, educator and
writer: "One mas only to look at the
joke columns in our newspapers to
realize that the vets are busy In
every direction trying to discredit
the law of the land. Everyone who
is interested in the enforcement Of
the eighteenth Amendment should
answer the articles that are being
continuously written, and in all pro-
liability paid for by the brewers and
distillers." ksE-
Caroline X. Swope, Thorp, Wash
ington: Il do not think it is posi-
BILE for one unfamiliar with condi-
lions under license to realize what
saloonless America means to the
lumber industry, employers and
employees. In the last few weeks Il
have asked both of them this ques-
ton: What are the effects of pro-
hibition?' This reply came from a
lumber dealer and factory man of
thirty years experience
Our men come to their work more
regularly, have became better edu-
Gated, are more faithful and re-
liable, and every man is back at his
job after pay day. sober. Money
that formerly went to the saloon is
now used for the home. and to buy
family comforts. Fathers now real

CABBAGE MAY ROT
Million Dollars Worth Likely Doom
ed, Report From Plainview

ed, Report From PlainView
Plainview, August 12.-Over mil
lion dollars worth of cabbage and
truck are doomed to rot in the
ground in the vicinity of Plain
view, because there ore no cars to
ship it out according to cabbage
raiser who sold cabbage on the
farmers market this morning. The
farmer estimated that several hun
dred carloads of cabbage, both early
and late varieties, are ready for
shipment but thus far only about
one carload per day is being ship
ped out, whereas, there should be
at least hundred cars shipped
daily, were normal conditions ex-
listing on the railroads.
A similar condition exists in the
yicininty of Dodge Center, where
farmers and gardeners planted
onions, owing to high prices one
year ago. 1t is stated that there will
be even more cabbage 20 to waste
near Dodge Center than at Plain
view. ...
The owners of the cabbage are
hopeful for an early strike settle
ment in order that the late varie-
ties may be shipped before the
heads begin to crack open and de-
composition begins to set in. Should
the strikes, both rail and coal, be
settled within very short time, and
movement of cars return to normal,
the farmers believe that part OF
their crop may be saved
Plainview farmers, who planted
hundreds of acres of cabbage, have
given up all hope of saving the 25.-
600 cars of early cabbage. which
will be a total loss soon. The yield
was unusually good and practically
all of the fields promised yield OF
about one carload per acre. With
the coming of the two strikes and
the lack of cars for transportation.
the farmers saw their profits go
glimmering and they now are the
possessors of vast fields of cabbage
that will never be harvested.
The condition at Dodge Center is
similar to that at Plainview, and
but little of the thousands of car
loads of cabbage will be shipped un-
less cars are made available at
once. f.. =
