Williams County Mixer: S. P. Lesselyoung, an agent for the Con sumers Service and Supply Co. of Minneapolis was placed under arrest at this village last Wednesday morn ing on a warrant issued upon order of the state's attorney on a charge of "obtaining money and property and instruments for the payment of money by and through false and fraudulent pretenses." When arraigned he made a plea of not guilty and asked for time to se cure an attorney from Minneapolis, which was granted. He would not furnish bail so is held by Marshal Sorenson. Mr. Lesselyoung has been in this vicinity for the past few weeks can vassing in the interests of his com pany. The concern, which is sup posed to be selling service, buys di rect from the producer and sells to the consumer, according to a state ment made by the defendant, thereby eliminating the middlemen and sav ing a large part of the profits. The service costs $30 a year, for which Mr. Lesselyoung was willing to take notes, some farmers signing notes for five years service in advance. The agent lias been disposing of these notes to local banks at a discount. Everything from a needle to a thresh ing machine was included in the goods which could be bought through the company. Quite a number of farmers in this locality bought the service. Halvor Arneson, who made the com plaint, states that when he signed the company's application and notes he was told that the company had a seat in the chamber of commerce, was told a number of things that would indicate that the company was a sub stantial institution, but upon wiring to Minneapolis he and Martin Gulson state that they found that the Con sumers Service and Supply Co. had no membership in the chamber of commerce. This looked suspicious. Beside a man liy the name of Les selyoung was prosecuted in March. 1914, by the federal government on the cahrge of using the mails tode fraud, .and a man by the same name who has been operating at Fairview was said to have misrepresented goods ordered and made a bad repu tation there. Mr. Lesselyoung is indignant at his arrest and claims that ho will easily prove his innocence of any in tent "to defraud. The hearing will be held before Justice F. E. Stefonowics Sept. 21 at 10 a. m. Y. W. C. A. On September 7th the Travelers' Aid Committee of the Young Womens Christian Association held its regular meeting in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. The local committee consists of Mrs. C. H. Coar, chairman, Mrs. Hal P. Fudge, secretary, Mrs. D. A. Dinnie, Mrs. 0. A. Malm and Mrs. W. M. Smart. Not onlv were the local needs of travelers' aid work considered, but considerable attention was given to ways by which the movement can be extended into surrounding communi ties. Non-resident committee mem bers have already been elected to represent the work of the committee as follows: Mrs. Rois P. Linn, Kenmare. Mrs. C. H. Ritchie, Velva. Mrs. R. J. R. McKelvey, Des Lacs. Mrs. K. E. Campbell, Ryder. Mrs. J. Loomis, Foxholm. Each of these members have placed framed Travelers' Aid placards in the depots of their towns. Their further duties will be to assist the public in knowing the dangers in traveling and how to avoid them. Whenever a wo man or girl leaves one of these com munities for a destination in which she is not acquainted, she can inform the committee member of her town, and the latter through her own ef forts or through the Y. W. C. A. of fice will see that she is met at the train and safely located. This line of work will in time be established in seven other towns in the vicinity of Minot. Miss Maud Phifer has been in the employ of the local committee serv ing as Travelers' Aid director in the Minot depots. She submitted her re port for the month of August at this meeting and it was accepted heartily. Miss Phifer undertook this work to see just how much the agency was needed in the city. Its necessity has been made very clear. The following is the report which she submitted: Directed to Y. W. C. A., 30. Directed to homes, transients, 25. Directed to hotels, 15.

D., Sept. 18.—That the agricultural lands of the North west will suffer a slump in price, the same as the fruit lands of the Pacific coast, unless the billion dollar loan goes through, is the prediction of Louis W. Hill, head of the Great Nor thern who is spending a short time in Devils Lake following the Veterans' meeting at Grand Forks. In tl\e opin ion of Mr. Hill there is no way to keep the prices of grain up unless an export customer is found for the immense crop. A slump in the price of grain means a slump in the price of lands, says Mr. Hill. The Northwest, he be lieves, is the particular portion of the particular portion of the country keenly interested in negotiating the loan, along the lines outlined by James J. Hill.
