LOOTED BANK AFFAIRS.
Plenty of Sensation---Nothing Authentic
Reached---Possibly $4,000 Involved.


Results bearing on the collapsed bank
are still anything but definite Rumors
are like unto mushrooms; they grow
while you sleep. The dark side is up
permost. Nothing authentic, however,
is oblainable. There are strong reasons
for believing that the community has
been looted to the extent of half mill
lion dollars, but many transactions
which aided in bringing about this
financial adversely are not connected
with the bank.
City dailies and other out-of-town
papers touch on the subject in as SEN
sational manner as possible, especially
in their handling of figures, and should
be read with spirit of allowance. But
the swfulness of the crime and the
length of time over which it spread
without detection are shocking features
that have not been much overdrawn.
We may rest assured that the best of
results will be none too good. While
depositors are still in the realm of hope,
they should prepare themselves to be
in thankful mood if they realize fifty
cents on the dollar.
Although it IS unquestionably finan-
cial adversely to Mineral Point, it is by
no means crash. But few towns of
this size could well survive such a
swipe, but Mineral Point is still sound
as bell, every merchant being on his
taps and a-humming.

Getting Rich on a 2O-Acrc
Farm.

Hout Davis handed US . copy
LOT the Avoca paper this week
Which contains an as.3an5 Of
how a man, Nr.9' Y .ftin,
near Pawnee City, NeEor., keeps
his family and makes $1,000 per
year clear from a farm of 20
acres. This land is not nearly
as good land as most Of the
land in this county, and his
success is due entirely to man
|agenent and good judgement
in crop selection. The land or
ginally cost the owner $3.50
per acre, hut is now worth $40.
The department. Of Agriculture
so the paper states, has sent an
expert to the place to learn
Martins method and a bulletin
will be issued describing the
soil, crop, care, etc, used by
Martin to produce such re-
markable results.
Mr.. Davis believes that if
such results can be obtained on
poor land that just as good or
better results could be had on
the fertile farms of this county
If this bulletin has been is
sued the experiment would be
we'll worth trying along the
lines adopted by Martin. Cd

The Miniture Mothers

Fremont Tribune: In almost
every household there is now
being enacted a sweet and
touching drama in which the
mother or larger sister is clan
destinely making or dressing a
Christmas dolly for the small
est germ of motherhood in the
family. There is nothing so
pleasing to the little tot as the
semblanc of a baby. The sa-
cred instinct of motherhood is
firmly implanted in the breast
and it is one of the earliest
that develops. A dolly is a
very real thing to the little
girl. 1t compasses her happi-
ness, and her hopes and when
she plays with it her eyes glow
and become veritable "quota-
tons from the stars" Some
how, as il it were from an in
born sympathy that is in later
ye rs revealed through compass
S ON for the manned and de-
formed, the little one loves her
rag dolly more than the one
that is made of china and dress
ed in silks and Iaces. The rag
dolly will become torn and els
figured and 5oiled, with muddy
noses and checks, but the little
mothers he art W. Rms to it With
increasing fervor. 1t is really
a holy thing to see a little one
al play with her dolls, and so
as, Christmas comes loving fin
gers everywhere are industri-
ously fashioned these infant
Icountelfeits TO the hearts of
the hearts of the worlds NINA
tllre mothers.
