on the charge of fraud by passing al
legged worthless checks, had a hearing
in municipal court yesterday. Mr..
Percifield had no lawyer to represent
him in court and was willing to waive
the hearing, but Dist. Atty. Falge

advisable.
Mr.. Cohen, a clothing merchant of
Rice Lake, ON the witness stand iden-
titled Percifield as the man who
bought suit of clothes and a cap
at his store and testified that the
suit Percifeld was wearing in court
was the one he sold to the man, which
was paid for with check.
Mr.. Rude, of Rice Lake, identified
Mr.. Percifield as the man who paid
for bus fair from Weyerhaeuser with
check which Mr.. Rude also identi-
fed as the check given in payment for
the bus ride, said check being one
in question in the case.

Nelson will retire from the firm of
Ditmanson & Nelson Mr. Ditmanson
will purchse the interest Of his part.
ner and new corporation will be
formed, which will probably be or.
ganized as the Ditmanson Mercantile
Company. Mr.. Ditmanson will have
stock-holding associates, among them
some of the present clerical force in
the store who will start in with small
amounts of stock.
Mr. Nelson has arranged to pur.
chase one of the stores Of the Elling-
Doe brothers at Northfield, Mimi,
brothers of the Ellingboe brothers of
this city, of which John Ellingboe is
a partner and the manager This bus
mess is dry goods and apparel store.
One of the reasons which actuates Mr..
Nelson in this new move is the college
facilities which Northfield provides.
The famous st. Olaf's College is To-
Gated there and Mr. and Mrs. Mel
son have two children growing up who
will later take advantage of advanced
educational facilities in their new
home town.
Messrs. Ditmanson and Nelson and
their families came to Ladysmith near
ly four years ago from Butler, S. D.,
and Webster, S. D., respectively. They
bought the mercantile business then
owned by A. c.. Thompson, and since
that time, by good business methods
and courteous treatment of the pub
lie, have increased what was an al
ready large business. Both families
have been active workers in the Scan
dinavian Lutheran church here and
have done much to build up that Chris
tian organization. The many friends
made here by the Nelson family will
deeply regret their departure from
this community.

MORE MEN FOR
CAVALRY TROOP
Recruits Coming In.-Preparing
For Competitive Drill on
Dec. 21

The recruit campign is bringing
good results in the local cavalry troop.
Already several new members are
learning the fundamentals of soldiery,
while many prospective recruits have
been reported as willing to join up.
Many persons wonder why the gov
ernment is anxious to keep these units
up to full strength now that the war
is over. One answer is that the best
way to keep out of war is to be pre-
pared, and who can be sure of lasting
peace with the present condition of the
world powers. 1t is true that we
want to cut down the vast expense in
maintaining large standing army,
and strong, well organized National
Guard is the only alternative. Where
as it costs about $4,000 annually to
keep man in the regular army. q
guardsman costs about $75, and in the
late war proved just as effective. A
man in uniform is not received with
the same enthusiasm he was back in
war days, but he is fulfilling the same
patriotic duty now as then, and he is
not enlisting to avoid being drafted.
The war profteers and others who
waved flags and shouted the loudest
during the war are in many cases reti-
cent about supporting National guard
organization at the present time. but
the work of maintaining defensive
force can continue without their sup
port. 1t is however unfortunate that
the young men of Ladysmith who are
members of the local troop, are not
given the support they are in other
cities. Financial support is not need
ed, but moral support is what makes
a real military organizatio When
the two teams meet in competitive drill

eel in a very strenuous way. Drills

like time. 1t is hoped that the men can
