Last evening while Henry Gerdea
and family were attending the Red
Cross meeting at Sand Ridge Grange
hall some thieves entered his house
at Glatser station, east of Shedd. and
stole two old silver watches and a
tew other articles. Nothing of any
great value was taken. Sheriff Bodine
went on. this morning and made an
investigation but no clue could be
found.
When Mr. Gcrder and family were
returning from the meeting they saw
the flash of a light in their house at
intervals. As they drew nearer they
saw streaks of a flash light moving
rapidly through their wheat field
When they entered the house they
found things thrown about in a reck
less manner, giving evidence of the
purpose of the visit.

Buenos Aires. June 26. The sub

brought Argentine very close to a
severance of relations with Germany.
Section May Bo Stricken Oot
ond Introduced as Separate
Measure; Feeling Strong
Washington, June 26. The Senate
Agriculture subcommittee voted to
broaden the House food control bill
ncluding the regulation of coal, steel,
oil and petroleum products, (arm im
plements and other necessities.
The committee adopted an amend
ment to the bill excluding from the
control of the food administrator the
food consumption. It was agreed to
release the fanner from aU regula
tions under the bill covering the pow
er of requisitioning of products.
Senator Gore contended that the
bill should be limited only to distribu
tion and production. A specisl sub
committee including Gore, Kenyon,
and Chamberlain was named to con
sider this.
The prohibition situation in the Sen
ate is endangering the entire legis
lative program. The I.cver food bill
is blocked resulting from the House
sweping dry amendment. Threats
and counter threats caused an unprece
dented situation. An effort to divorce
prohibition and the food control is
sues and permitting prohibition to
rest on its own merits is likely.

cent or tfT-jroce-ds will go to the
Red Cross fund is an incentive to buy
tickets, which are 15 cents for adults
and 10 cents for children, and many
people are buying several without
thought of using them at all. In this
crisis the spirit of fighting or giving
money in lieu of going to the front
