CATALOG HOUSE DRAWS FINE.
Sears, RoebuCk & Co. Ordered to Pay
Damages to St. Paul Firm.

Sears, Roebuck & Co., the Chicago
mail order house, has been ordered
by the courts to pay damages Of
S13, $50 to Chas. A. Stickney & Co.,
Of St. Paul, Mimi, manufacturers
of gasoline engines. 1t is the result
of suit in which it was shown that
Sears, Roebuck & Co. had fraudu-
lently listed gasoline engines in their
catalogues at a higher horse power
than the engines possessed.
In the first trial judgment was
given against Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
for $4,000. An appeal was taken,
and new trial granted on technical
grounds, but the second award was
even higher than the first $13, $50.
It was shown in court taat Sears,
Roebuck & Co. had tried to involve
Stickney & Co. in the wrong doing,
by asking them to make same fraud
ulent claims of horse power in the
Stickney catalogue. This they did
not succeed in doing.
1t was shown in court that Sears,
Roebuck & Co. listed a % horse
power engine in their "Big Book. :"
as horse power engine, one of AZ
horse power as 5 horse power en-
CINE, one Of 5 horse power as a 6
horse power engine, and so on all
along the line. 1t is estimated that
Sears, Roebuck & Co. made from SIS
to $40 additional on each engine by
means of the higher rated horse
power,
1t is an easy matter for dealers to
advertise that they sell machines
cheaper than other dealers, but
sometimes they are called down for
not being able to prove.it.

Illinois in the production Of the larg-
est and most important field crop
grown in the United Safes.
This all is only an indication OF
the strides our state and country
have taken in all lines affecting the
industries carried on by our farm
ers. Surely those who were civiliz-
ing these prairies in the early days
as we'll as the new conner have rea-
son to congratulate themselves to
find that the soil is able to respond
so generously to extensive cultiva-
ton and that through good roads,
the telephone and rural delivery of
mails they are in touch with the
towns and able to enjoy the business
and social advantage necessary to
make country life both profitable
and desirable. O. B. TURRELL.

Methodist Sunday School Program.

The topic of the Sunday school
last Lords Day was, 1.-THE Great
Missionary Book" Some of the
older girls gave interesting facts
concerning the Bible. We learned
that it is now published in about 500
different languages. Every nation
under the suns allows it free circu-
lation. Reference was made to the
two hundred and eighty-eight peo-
pie who were burned at the stake
during the reign Of Queen Mary of
England simply for owning Bibles.
In 1852 an Italian sailor having been
discovered with the Bible which he
had bought in New York, was kept
prisoner in chains at hard labor
for ten years.
The great toll of the missionaries
in transIating the Bible for peoples
who had no written language, was
touched upon; they had first to pre-
pare grammars and dictionaries.
Ten and half million copies of the
Bible were issued last year. China's
common people gladly bought 2, 000,-
900, and it is the best selling book
in Korea to-day.
Some of the younger girls ac-
Quilted themselves handsomely in
giving quotations and recitations on
the topic.

CORN CRANK WAS LAUGHED AT.
Had Faith That Corn Could be Raised
In Minnesota and Men SCoffed.

Ed. GAZETTE: On my return home
in October the harvest was gathered
or in sight and l have not yet learned
of any industry in which Redwood
county farmers are engaged that
has not brought an abundant return
and all could enjoy Thanksgiving
with the feeling that the ingather-
ing had been generous. This is not
one or two lines but every industry
had been { success, crops, stock, the
dairy and the smaller industries
were all good the aggregate amount
of which for the year when known
will no doubt make good head line
for an article by Commissioner
Welch and help along the efforts OF
our people to induce settlers from
Iowa and other states to look up this
part Of Minnesota.
We haye received big help the
past few years from farmers from
the older states who thought it a
good proposition to sell $3.50 land
and buy that just as good at so to 90
dollars an acre. From what hear
these men have not bought with
their eyes shut but have had to be
shown. The farms they have bought
at high prices have been the best of
land and under a high state of cul-
tivation. These buyers are not an
easy lot to show inferior land to
for they know what it is full better
than an agent. They not only want
land that will grow wheat and other
small grain but that will raise corn
and lot of it and they have found
it here.
On the question of corn | must be
reminiscent. In my first years in St.
Paul | knew a farmer named Has
kell in the Cottage Grove district
who was trying with Indifferent
success to raise corn.
Mr. Haskell through the papers
and talk at gatherings of farmers
kept his hobby we'll before the peo-
pie. ;lWays asserting that sometime
corn would be grown here with
success. He was a clever man and
highly respected but with it his
neighbors would say: Haskell is
all right except that he has wheels
in his head when it comes to the
subject of corn" Haskell was right,
corn can be grown in Minnesota on
paying basis as regular field crop
for the general market and the state

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

remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infamed you have a

and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the 10
flammat,On can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
iuflamed condition OF the mucous sur

of that natural type Of athletes who
break into the game now and then and
make famous names for themselves.
Black burn Is naturally adapted to

is a strong player at the latter game.
He was one Of the stars In the big
professional league in the east. He
did not play last year. being unable to
come to terms with the club to which
he was assigned. He Is as good a
pitcher as he Is shortstop. Fast, hit
ting infielders Of class are SO rare there
is little chance Of his being called on

un;aue Baseball Decision.

Baseball players and experts on the
technicalities Of the national game
agree that a decision by Umpire Clar-
ence Owens In Louisville. KY. recently
which gave Louisville the winning run
Is unique. Peitz was at bat for Louis
vile with two on bases, and McSurdy.
pitcher for Toledo, after conference
with Catcher Land. decided to give
Peitz his base Three wide ones were
thrown to Peitz. and before the fourth
was pitched Land deliberately stepped
'.out Of line and received an excep-
,ionally wide throw. Owens promptly
called It a ball and signaled Sullivan,
on third. to come In with what proved
to be Louisvllie's winning run. The
rule on which Owens based his deci,
sion was passed several years ago and
is said never to have been called into
force before.

TIE assertion has been made
many times that the special in
terests for years back have
quietly practiced the scheme OF
packing such gatherings as the
national irrigation congress
With corporation lawyers to
argue against and vote down
measures demanded by the PEG.
pie and suggested by the govern
ment for the conservation OF the
natural resources OF the country.
The corporations with the as
sistance OF their friends in the
national congress have persist
emily combatted the movement
to save the forests, and put q
stop to private exploitation OF
coal lands, water power, ETC.,
which Roosevelt, Pinchot and
Others believe should be held by
the government for the whole
people. With gradually denim
ishinp success the Interests
have delayed and blocked action
along these lines for years, ana
with such adroitness that the
general public has been kept for
the most part in comparative
ignorance. Against these
interests and their crafty
ways Pinchot has made a great
fight and to all appearances is
overcoming much Of the adverse
influence created by the enemies
OF the people. Incidents like that
which stirred up the National
Irrigation congress i'll Spokane
and later at the Trans-Missis
sippi congress in Denver wher
Judge Belford sought to point
out that the congress was dom
mated by the especial interests,
are slowly bringing the methods
OF the corporations to the at
tention OF the public. Gather
ings such as these can never b
"a complete success so far as tn
welfare OF the people is con
cerned until they are ridded 9

THE KINDLY CRITIC

There + a faithful few in each
community that no matter what the
weather conditions, they are in their
accustomed pews at church service
Sabbath morning and evening. Last
Sunday was a sultry day, and fancy
the average church,goer could have
found more comfort at home, divest-
ed of coat, collar and tie, ON the
shady side of the house or upon the
yine-sheltered porch, where breezes
played SO soft and gentle as to WOO
slumber, the same as the minister
does on a sultry day. But the faith
full few Vsho stand by their colors in
the heat of summer and the biting
blasts of winter, are really the bull
wark of the church. If it We're not
for their constancy, ministers too
would become discouraged by ex-
IRENE weather conditions and would
be justified in hanging ON the front
door of their churches a notice read
ing like this: CLOSED for Want of
Patrons. The minister can be
found down upon the banks of the
Nemaha. viii open again when
weather permits"
The Falls City tribune., 1909-08-20

The bank reports of Kansas accord
ing to the banking department of the
state and federal government show
that the people of that prosperous
commonwealth have $3.50, 900, 900 on
deposit, while the assessors found
but $4i,S76, 420 to assess-about one
fourth of what it should be. No doubt
the one who gave expression to that
bit of truth, "all men are liars" had
i'll mind mankind when paying tithes
or tribute according to his posses
sions. The word liar" is an ugly
word, and yet it is the only word to
apply to a man who places "a false
valuation upon his possessions to
avoid a just taxation, and it is sur
prising how weak is the defense for
so doing-"I pay as fair and just a
tax as my neighbor." And one of the
strange things about this evading of
taxation is, that usually the more a
man possesses the less tax he is
willing and does pay Upon his hold
ings. 1t would really be embarrass-
ing right here in Falls City to list
the actual possessions of some men,
and then place opposite each item
the amount assessed against it.

fest. Attention was then called to a
nearby thermometer, which was re-
g%istering plainly Ito degrees in the
shade, out in the open. Consterna-
ton prevailed, and if the joke had
not leaked out too quickly the
chances are that a sunstroke or ease
of overcome by heat"would have re-
suited, and Falls City would have es-
tabiished a record for a real hot day.
1t seems the porter at the hotel had
been holding a match under the bulb
of the thermometer.
