R. j. Hansen has Just finished
Jens Rasmussen's decorating and Lars
Petersen's and p. Rasmussen's houses
will soon be done.
Drace Sorenson has invested in a
cream separator. 1t will hum the
gee whiz tune, morning and night,
the coming year.
Walter Olsen has quit working at
the Knitting Factory and will take
up other work whatever he finds
that is suitable.
Andrew Esbeck has rented part of
the old A. Esbeck farm. Keep an
eye on Andrew. We wonder what
will happen in the near future?
Thomas Jorgensen has started a
painting and paper hanging business
in Elk Horn and will be ready to
make contract on any kind of work
in that line.
Mr.. Louie Petersen, line man for
the Marine and Elk Horn Telephone
Company and his sister, Mrs. Nick
Frederiksen, south of Elk Horn,
went to Extra Tuesday on a short
visit with their parents, Peter
Petersen and wife.
Some of the Elk Horn boys who
were in Montana taking land were
reported to have given it up which
was mistake. 1t was reported that
the boys would all back out and
both were so much excited when they
got back that they would have been
willing to bet most anything that
the clerk did not go. 1t seems funny
though that the boys would back out
so quick without even seeing their
land. We think they should not
have been SO anxious calling meetings
and having them drive out from
Harlan only to be fooled when ar
irving here. Parties have been in
quiring what the trouble is but have
not been able to find out. Maybe it
is too far home and somebody else.
Show the people of Elk Horn bet
ter example next time you go out
land seeking and tell them you were
much impressed with the country
you visited.

SECRETARY STRAUS
 TALKS TO Y. N. C. A
HE SUGGESTS THAT THE ASSO- CLAYTON MAY BE THE MEANS OF SETTLING THE ILLS THAT AFFECT CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Washington. November 25.-Interest in todays proceedings of the interna- tional convention of the Young Mems Christian Association of America was marked by addresses by prominent speakers and by greeting from dele gates from England, Switzerland, Aus tralia and Japan A notable address was made by Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor. in which he suggested that the Young Mems Christian association may be the agency for the cure of controversial ills that afnict capital and labor. Other speakers included Christian Phildius of Geneva, Switzerland, secretary of the world committee; J. H. Putterill, gen eral secretary of London; Representa- tive Virgo of the national council of the Y. M. c. A. of Sydney. Australia, and pr. Kumetaro Sasao of Japan, all of whom brought greetings from the countries they represented.
 Secretary Straus took as his theme. 'The Association and the Working Man." and expressed the hope that tn e association might bring about closer and better relations between the em- ployer and the wage workers. The secretary said there was no lack or present day problems. but that htis condition was not because there were more wrongs, for the rights of man were never more jealously guarded than today. Better, wages are paid and more comforts are enjoyed In this country the rights of every man of every creed are respected.
 / MT. Straus praised the Y. M. C. A. because it's foundation lis laid upon broad non-sectarian lines." The sec retary said the relations between em- ployer and worker cannot be measured by economic laws, but must be deter mined by the high principles of hu- manity. He said the equality of every man, of every creed before the land must be guarded.

 The long hypothetical question prepared by the defense was then read to the wit ness.
 Three Questions.
 There were three questions which wero only propounded after Judge Powers had presented complete analysis of the case, bringing out especially the points indica- tive of mental unsoundness on the part of the defendant. The questions were as follows:
 1. Assuming all these facts to be true, what do you say as to whether or not at the time the fatal shot was fired the pa tient understood the nature of her act. was able to choose and distinguish right from wrong and was able to control her self to choose the right and avoid tho wrong.
 2. Assuming all these facts to be true, what do you say as to whether or not when the fatal shot was fired the patient was mentally responsible for what she did. 3. Assuming all these facts to be true, what do you say as to whether, when the fatal shot was fired, the patient was sane or insane.
 The statement of the case was read from typewriter data and was delber- ately and carefully presented. Mrs. Bradey's name was not mentioned, but the facts were given as applying to q woman 8 years of age, which is the age of Mrs Bradley
