paper
IS SUED FOR
LARGE sum

Summons and complaint were
served by Sheriff Joe Daggett up
on the Capital Times of Madison
Friday in a $4,000 damage suit
brought by Fred Rist, special in
vestigaton who directed the re-
cent wholesale liquor raids in the
Bush.
Rist, according to the State Jour.
nal, charges that articles published
by the Times picturing him as a
hireling of the Ku Klux Klan III
connection with the Investigations
are false, defamatory and malic-
ious."
The suit is being brought in the
Dane county circuit court with
Carl H Juergens, Milwaukee, an
attorney for the plaintiff.
In an article headed Mayors Dry
Raid Conducted from Khan Offices, :"
the complaint states, the Times
made the assertion that 'fRist was
a dry agent for the federal govern
ment in North Dakota in 1919. He
was discharged from that position
and went to Milwaukee where he
now operates private detective
agency"
The article, says the complaint,
gave readers the impression that he
was dismissed from the federal
service for cause, whereas he re-
signed of his own free will.
The plaintiff further objects to
the article headed Here Is Inside
Story on Recent Khan Raids in
Madison" in which was the state
ment Fired Rist, the Milwaukee
investigator, was brought to Mad
isen by the Ku KluX Khan. He
was paid $25 a day for his serv-
ices.
AS a result of several such ar
ticles, Rist contends, he has been
"held up to public hatred, degrad-
alton, ridicule and contempt"

The Skillet Creek Farmers Club

were very pleasantly entertained

ELECTED the ready applause they SO
fully deserved.
Supt. Kingsford Speaks
A. C. Kingsford, superintendent
of city schools, addressed the club
on subject which is very near to
the heart of the farmer "How to
better conditions and make farm
life more interesting to their boys
and girls of today
More than one half of the high
school pupils are country children
and we do know they are being ed
ucated from the farm. However,
many of our great men have titled
the soil and enjoyed farm life while
young. Mr.. Kingsford was born on
farm and spent his boyhood days
working in the out of doors. He
firmly believes conditions on the
farm would be much better If the
farmers could cooperate and form
more associations as the orange,
grape and walnut growers Of Cal
ifornia have done. He also told us
how really rich farmers are with
their own business, good health,
plenty of exercise, truck to carry
produce to market, limousine,
modern homes, electric lights, and
the radio, which brings concerts
weather reports and market re-
ports. After visiting intermission
and the Sunshine march was en-
jeyed.
Carroll Hackett, with the Radiola
entertained the club with concerts,
speeches, and dances, broadcasted
from coast to coast. He also
answered many questions pertain
ing to the radio.
A rising vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Albert Wichern and Will
bur Cahoon for planning such
very delightful meeting. For the
members were of the best and thor
oughly enjoyed.
Mr.. Cahoon announced that Mr..
and Mrs. John Martiny had invit-
ed the club to meet with them Feb.
6. A good program is assured.
