V0lstead Opposes
Drastic New Dry Bill

Prohibition enforcement may be
crippled by enactment of some of the
drastic legislation recently proposed
in congress, Representative A. j. Vol
stead, Minnesota, father of the pre-
sent enforcement act, warned Monday.
The prohibition, leader announced his
opposition to the plan of Representa-
tive w. D. Upshaw, Georgia, who
after charging that government offici-
ais were violating the prohibition law,
introduced bill to make the purchas-
ers of illicit liquor equally guilty with

Check Raised on
Elevator Man
J. H. JOHNSON OF CROOK WHO
RAISERS GRAIN CHECK
EIGHTY DOLLARS.

On Friday morning young man
about twenty years of age drove onto
the j. H. Anderson elevator with thir-
teen bushels of rye, in his "fliver" sold
the rye, received a check for $9.35 and
went his way. He was a stranger to
Mr.. Anderson, but looked like an
honest farmer lad and this incident
was forgotten.
That evening Mr.. Anderson's atten-
tion was called to a check for 1873
bushels of rye of $90.35 which looked
as if it had been tampered with. Mr..
Anderson at once recognized the check
as being the one given in the morning
for the thirteen bushels of rye. A
cipher had been added to the figure
nine, "ty" to the word mine" and a
figure three to the number of bushels.
Mr.. Anderson had drawn the check ON
the Citizens Bank, and the crook who
taken it to the State Bank where he
got his money and the misdeed was
not discovered until evening, after
the banks had exchanged checks and
Mr.. Anderson's attention called to the
suspicious appearance of his grain
check.
Sheriff Sunde was Immediately sum-
moned, but the man had by that time
some six hours start and little hope
of his apprehension was entertained.
On Monday evening Albie Daun, a
young man who has been employed
north of town, the past season was
apprehended by Sheriff Sunde, charg-
ed with forging the name of Chas.
Wadsworth to check for ten dollars.
The man was brought here with the
expectation that he would be implicat-
ed in the check raising Friday. Daun
was identified by J. L. Peterson as be-
ing the man who cashed the grain
check, but Mr.. Anderson says he is
not the man who sold the rye.
This would indicate that two men
were working the game. Daun was
taken to Olivia and placed in the
county Jail to await trial and in the
mean time an effort will be made to
locate the other party, who gave his
name as Paul Anderson.-Franklin

Anderson May Lead

The position of the Minnesota house
members on the reorganization of the
house in the next congress will be
determined at a meeting to be conduct
ed late Monday.
A slate already has been made up
that contemplates reelection of
Speaker F. H. Gillett of Massachu-
setts and election of Representative
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio as floor
leader. There are reports that COM
binations have been formed, and that
the Gillett and LOngworth forces have
joined forces to put these two men,
bers over.
Progressive members of the house
generally are opposed to Longworth
as floor leader. They regard him as
conservative, although his friends
declare he is as good progressive as
there is in the house. The combina-
tion has bearing on the positions
Minnesota members will have in the
house organization.
Representative Sydney Anderson of
the first district has been talked about
most as the successor of Representa-
tive Frank Mondell, present floor lead
er, who retires March 4. The Mime
sofa man also has quite a backing for
the speakership. Members of the Min
nesota delegation have come to no
decision and at the meeting today
they will decide which office they will
fight for in behalf of Mr.. Anderson.
Representative Harold Knutson of
the sixth district is said to be ready
to retire from the office of whip, which
he has held for two terms rrovidino q
Mr.. Anderson becomes a candidate for
speaker or floor leader. Two Mime
sotants could not be members of the
house organization, and besides, Mr..
knutson has not always been in SYM
pathy with several measures backed
by the house organization, and would
welcome an opportunity to give way
to another member from his state.

And results are beginning to come, as
was illustrated in one school where
the nurse was giving a health talk
when she was interrupted by small
girl of six years who proudly stated
that she always covered her face with
her handkerchief when coughing or
sneezing SO that others might not
catch her cold.

just been completed and report will
be made as soon as the results are
tabulated. The report of the months
