Where the Trouble Will Arise.
The greatest stumbling block to this
socialist programme is found in the
fact that the finances of Finland are
inadequate for either the old-age pen
sions or the agrarian reforms.

Among the male deputies is Hikki

a Finnish singer who performed ia
the United States in 1905. The great
victory of the Socialists at the polls
accounts for the presence of so many

one Of the most advanced ever taken

l. Peterson's Store Burflarized.

Some time between closing hours
Saturday night and Sunday morning
the grocery store of l.. Peterson on
Washington street was entered by
burglars. On going into the store
Sunday morning Mr.. Peterson noticed
some gum scattered on the floor but
thought nothing of it. When the
clerks arrived Monday morning and
were sweeping out they discovered
that entrance had been effected by
breaking out window-glass in the
rear of the store, through which they
crawled. The only things missing
thus far are three pairs of shoes, a
butt of tobacco and some gum. It
evidently was the work of amateurs.
or else they were frightened away
before they secured the booty they
were after.

NEW BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM.
Winnesheik County State Bank Makes
Finishing Touches on Absolute Pro.
lection Of its Vaults.

It will be remembered that several
years ago the Winnesheik County
State Bank purchased a burglar alarm
system from the American Bank Pro-
lection Company of Minneapolis, but
on account of the impossibility of
securing instruments that would
force connection through the two
inch chrome steel lining of the vault,
it was necessary to abandon the at
tempt. New drills and machinery
have been made recently which will
enable the system to be installed and
the work undertaken will be watched
with interest as will the test and pub
lie exhibition to be given on it's COM
pletiCn. This is a system of burglar
alarm which has never been defeated
and consists of false steel sides to
the vault which are highly insulated
and attached to the walls are three
large gongs through which current
is formed by the touching of the wall
of the vault with any metallic instru-
ments and rings the gongs. Besides
this an immense gong on the outside
of the building is set in motion and
gives an alarm which can be heard
for long distance. 1t is the safest
method known for the prevention of
burglary.

And last of all, God has blessed
US individually. Our lives have beer
preserved from danger and dread dis
ease. He has given US health and
strength Of mind and body, food t.
sustain US and raiment to clothe US
He has blessed us with happy homes
and the glad voices Of children and
loved ones around US. Through all
our sufferings and trials He has been
near and never turned a deaf ear to
our prayers.
And do you question now, my
brethren, whether there is anything
to be thankful for? These are not
exaggerated news. They are true
statements of facts. Does it not be-
hoove us, therefore, to give thanks
to the great God who has so abund-
antly blessed US, first as a nation,
then as a community and lastly as
individuals?
And Gods bounty has never fail
ed. Go back in mind to Israel wand
ering in the wilderness. Did He not
feed them with mama by miracle,
and send them water from the rock?
True" someone will tell me, "but
the Lord does not feed his people
now as he did in the days of old; If
we want bread, we must work for
it." Yes, we must work for it. We
must plant the kernel of grain, but is
it not God who makes it grow and
causes it to multiply hundred fold?
What is this constant reproduction
year after year but standing mir
acle?
Examine the grain before you put
it into the ground. You cannot find
the germ of life: the most power
full microscope has never discovered
it. 1t seems hard and dead, but I'M
der the genial influence of rain and
sun the miracle begins. The invis-
ible germ is born into visible life,
and gradually evolves: first the
blade, then the ear, then the full
corn in the ear" "This is the Lord s
doing, and it is marvellous in our
