JACKSON BOYS FIND IL
GALLONS OF ALCOHOL

The irrepressible small boy has
again been responsible for throwing
a monkey-wrench into what evidently
promised to be very Merry Christ
mas for number of the selected few
in Jackson, according to the Jackson
Pilot.
Sunday, when Orville Gregory and
Forest Anderson were playing near
the old road that leads to the fair
grounds, two blocks south of the Mil
waukee round house, they made the
discovery that someone had planted
twelve gallons of alcohol in the brush
and snow along the roadside. The
boys Immediately notified Sheriff c..
F. Magnssen Of their find and the
"stuff" is now safely stored at the
county Jail where the owner or own
ers may call and prove their property
providing they so wish.
This is the second find by small
boys of quantity of alcohol in the
same vicinity and is pretty conclusive
evidence that this particular vicinity
is being used as a fence for thriving
business by some bootlegger, who will
no doubt change the place of hiding
his supply in the future.
While no arrests have been made
as yet, Sheriff Magnussen has pref
ty good guess as to who is response
BILE for the nefarious traffic and 1t
will be safer for him to change his
place of business if he wishes to keep
out of the meshes of the law.

TWO GROUPS JOIN TO
ADVERTISE MINNESOTA

Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater Min
nesota Association is name that
will become well known throughout
the state in months and years to
come. 1t is the name of the enlarg-
ed organization which will perform
the work of selling Minnesota to the
world agriculturally as well as a
great summer playground.
The new association represents The
merged units which previously have
been known as the Ten Thousanl

the tourist business of five years
ago, the first year that Mr.. Hotaling
was secretary of the organization

state and spent $4O,O00,00O here. A
substantial increase is shown over
1927 when 1,441,10 summer visitors
left $S2,4O5,4O8 in the state.

SPRINGFIELD MEN
DRAW JAIL TERMS
Were Taken in Raids at Spring
field in September and
October

Three of the Springfield soft drink
parlor proprietors who were arrested
in the federal raids conducted at
Springfield in September and Octo-
Der, appeared before Judge Cant in
the U. S. district court at St. Paul,
Tuesday and entered pleas Of guilty.
M. Randall was charged with selling
intoxicating liquor potable as bev-
erage, contrary to the provisions of
the Volstead law. There were two
charges against him, both alleging
unlawful sales, and the court gave
him three months on each charge
The jail terms are to run consecutive
ly, so the Imprisonment will be for
six months. The court ordered him
taken to the Sibley county Jail at
Gaylord to sit out the sentence. No
fine was imposed on Randall. He
was represented by Attorney Charles
w. Sterling of ST. Paul. He was
taken to Gaylord yesterday directly
from St. Paul.
F. J. Vollman pleaded guilty to
charges of sale and possession. He
was fined $3.50 and given ninety days
in the Sibley county Jail to which
place he was taken yesterday. He
sold his pool hall last week to a
brother of John Driscoll. James
Cady is temporarily in charge of the
business.
Randall's partner, Jos. Guendner,
pleaded guilty to the charge of
possession of intoxicating liquor
contrary to law and was fined $3.50
which he paid. He was not charged
with selling, hence the lighter SEN
tence.
Shortly after the second raid in
October, Randall and Guendner dis
posed of their business.-Springfield

thorization.

ton of highways in states having a
large percentage of public lands Is
provided for in thirteen bills.

highway is provided for in eight bills,
the ultimate object of which is COM
pletion of highway running from
Canada through Mexico, Central and
South America. Eight bills are pure
ly regulatory, dealing with interstate
traffic, routes, highway signs, re-
search and kindred phases of high

WHAT TO Do WITH
SOFT DRINK PARLORS

Springfield has an ordinance which
requires that proprietors of soft
drink ra1lors must remove cbstruc-
tions from their windows, but the fun
started last week when Chief of po-
lice Jack Forster made the 70 Inds an ,
o'deic cd out all the pretty decorations
IN ii e display quarters.
Spasnodically the city auth }: ties
have Tot fled the ,aces to comply
WIN this ordirtnc., and for while
the I i;blio ic afforded an uno3stru q d
view Oh the inte.ior from the SIR e..
Gradually obstruct,Ops again appear
in the windows and potted plant
sseem to be about the most popular
at all of Springfield's half dozen soft
drink parlors.
However, when Police Forster made
the rounds last week and ordered the
decorations removed all complied with
the request except Gottlieb Arndt.
He demonstrated, but upon receiving
an ultimatum from the city's legal de-
partment, he decided that it would be
safer to comply, and out went his
profusion of foliage.
The Springfield Advance adds: eff
history repeats itself, the incident
will be forgotten and "the flowers
will bloom in the spring, ira la"

CHEVROLET CAR is
STOLEN AT NEW ULM

Monday morning when j. F. Tel
chrow of New Ulm went to the front
of the family residence on South
Broadway to get his Chevrolet sedan,
the car was missing. A search failed
to reveal the car and it was decided
that some one had stolen the machine
from its parking place, about eleven
o'clock the night before.
Insurance on the car had expired a
few days previous. and the policy had
not been renewed, so the loss will
probably be complete. Hopes are
held, however, that the car will be
found and returned. 1t is likely that
the car was driven to some distant
point.

local politicians.
Calling a caucus of the entire SEN
ate membership is strange pro-
ceedure among old time politicians.
In years gone by, when the senators
were elected by parties, each party
held it's caucus, framed it's slate and
battled for the positions. Since the
party designation was abolished
these lines have been. gradually
dwindling. For a time, the groups
were sharply defined, the non-parti-
san league members in one body, and
the conservatives in another. This
definition continued during the life
of the farmer-labor party, but that
has also passed into the discard. The
last session, the senate was divided
into the conservative and the pro-
gressive or radical wings, but appar-
emily this division has been smoothed
