No definite rice had been named previous to this me by Jhe league, but as the report ad been circulated that a charge of ighty cents per hour would be made, t Was thought best to nail the reportin the head and fix a price.CALIAnother report that has been heard was that the league would refuse to send men over into Buf»na Vista county. This report, as well as the one in regard to price, smells of pro-Germanism and should also be nailed in the head. The league has been organized for the purpose of doing everything possible in helping to win the war, to promote patriotism and down pro-Germanism. Investigate such reports as above mentioned and if possible trace tbeir source, to the end that the guilty ones may be apprehended and properly dealt with.RevisioCoChero will be i to Camjfor the22, instlt; the orif were rt vising tl county’s A selt;*lt; men froto Camp day peri dition tc upon foi son Bari 500 men 15 for tv auto me for on tl trants a Follov ing theii included Ernest Carlson, Deller, Dyslin, * Hench, Blanchai sell Gro\ Brown, Holderns Moulton, Edward Floyd, ESome ( list, as tl on reclaa some cba Followin who may July 29 q Oscar i Earl Mcl Larson.Miss E Kruse, bi ried atALTA NEWS ITEMSFrom The Advertiser Mr. and Mrs. Irving Olson of Sioux Falls were Alta visitors the first of the week.Harrison Holmes left for Sioux City, Monday.
