to try TO expand his own revenues by farming

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Commenting on Secretary Wilson's suggestion
that Western farmers would do we'll to raise more
cattle and hogs THE Chicago Tmes-lierald' says
THE situation has already begun TO right itself
The profits in cattle and sheep feeding have been
so large to the fortunate few this that every
corn raiser Is determined to have stock TO eat his
grain and within n year two the effect OF set
ting apart more ground TO pastures and of feeding
more corn on the farm will be apparent In reduced
stocks of this grain and better prices. The advance
in wheat last year came too late to hep most or
the growers but with prices for wheat corn
and oats restored, and cattle. hogs and sheep rs
they are the farmers Of the country will be liberal
buyers again"
The whole truth IS the poverty of the farmers is
the stock in trade WITH these politicians and they
only to rrake them believe that they are
very poor. but they really want the farmers to be
poor in fact and to remain poor, else their occupa-
ton would be gone. And it is time the farmers

The Northwestern Telephone Ex-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness IL caused by an
inflampd condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube ls indamed you have a
rum bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it .is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an

LITTLE FALLS WON.
Randall'S Base Ball Club De-
feated by a Score Of
10 to 81.

The Mascot base ball club Of this
city added another to it, list oi
victories Wednesday, In its game with
the Randall team. The game was
played at the grounds near the de-
pot and was witnessed by a large
crowd of our citixens.
At the beginning the game PROM
ised to bo an even and Interesting
one. but 1t was very much Of q
One-sided aftair before the close, the
Randall boys being completely out
classed. At the close OF the third
inning the score stood S to in favor
Of Little Falls Sand there had been
two innings in which no scores had
been made. ,
1t was just about that time that
the Little Falls boys caught on to
the Randallites' curves and they
smash. d the ball numerically. Al
though the Little Falls boys found
the ball frequently, the work of the
Randall battery was good, but It
did not receive any support. the out
field being very weak. and only one
Or two Of the intield could play ball
tO anv extent.
On the other hand, while the Little
Falls team was not verv strong ut
bat, their fielding was fine, and their
base running could not be- beaten.
Rosenholtz pitched the nine Innings
for Little Falls and was very effect
i've, considering his age. When the
Randall boys found the ball it was
generally for a two or three bngger,
for they were alI big, powerful and
athletic young men. while the Little
Falls boys are but mere kids In com
parisOn. The score at the finish was
"a to 10 in favor of Little Falls.
Milton f. Lewis acted as umpire and
his decisions were very satisfactory.
One Randall man is snid to have lost
1926 betting that the Little Falls
team would not beat Randall two
to one. They were beaten over
three to one and at one time 1t
looked II they would lose to l.
The Randall boys were gentle
manly throughout the game, and
took their defeat good-naturedly. 3
After the game was over the Ran
dali team was taken to the Buck
man hotel for supper by j. Burton.
and they returned home On the
midnight train.

in POLICE COURT.
Two Cases OF Assault Tried
In Justice Sheldon'9
~ Court.

Martin ChtistiansOn. resident oi
Gravelville, appeared before the
county attorney Wednesday after
noon and asked that 4 warrant be
issued for the arrest Of John Jacob.
son, one of his neighbours, on u charge
Ot assault and hattery.sS Ch1stian.
sons story was that Jacobson at
tackled him and struck him on the
head with stick. He admitted that
he retalia ted with hoe, but claimed
that he was compelled to do ~ n
self defense. The county attorney
warned him that jacobson could
have him arrested on the same
charge, but t,e was determined to
have jacobson d arrested.
h Jacobson was brought before
Justice Sheldon by the sheriff. He
admitted striking Christianson with
a stick, and aaid that lie was pro-
5.yoked to the assault by Christianson
calling him vile names. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was1ined
81 and costs. jacobson exhibited
several severe cuts ON his arm which
he said were inflicted by Christians"n
with hoe. He then caused Chris
tianson's arrest on y similar charge.
When the Ia tier saw that there was
no other way out he pleaded guilty
to the charge, and was fined 81 and
costs. 1t is difficult to find how Mr..
ChristiansOn can get much cunsOla-
tion from the outcome of the court
proceedings.
Two employees at Duclos' brick
yard, on the west side. became in
volyed 10 quarrel Wednesday even
ing. and as a result one Of them
received quite Il severe drnbbtpg.
His name is John Burlowski, and he
claims that Frank Bukowski in
fiicted the injuries with a paddle
generally used in the manufacture OF
brtck. BurlOW skis head was badly
Ee,,it ana there was j bad gash cut ~
his under lip. He caused Bukowski's
arrest on charge Of assault and
battery that morning.
Bukowski was arrested and his
trial was held before Justice Sheldoh
this forenoon. The testimony was
considerably different from the story
told by the complainant. Witnesses
testified that the complainant and
another man attacked the defendant
and one OF them used d club. The
injuries which the complainant re-
ceived were said to have been caused
by his falling against the brick ma
chine, after being struck by the de-
fendant. Justice Sheldon discharged
Bukowski, and the latter lett the
court room for the purpose Of having
the complainant and his other as-
sailant arrested on a charge of assault
and battery.
The defendant had a warrant
issued this afternoon, charging Bur-
lowski with threatening to do him
bodily harm, and he swas taken te-
fore Justice sheldon for trial. The
pair finally affected a compromise,
whereby Burlowski was let Off by
paying the colts in the case.
This is another case where all
parties in, the case have received a
lac on, ord VIII not likely carry their
petty troubles into court In the
