A JOKE ON THE FARMER

An associated press dispatch
from Salem, n. j., tells good
story illustrative of how the profits
from the high prices do not go to
the producer but to the dealer.
According to this story farmer
brought two hogs to local butch
er and offered them for sale. A
price was quickly agreed on and
the farmer said he would sell, but
wanted the hams and shoulders.
To this the butcher was willing,
and after the weight had been
taken the desired parts of the hogs
were cut of and handed to the
farmer, who asked for the balance
coming to him. After figuring .
moment the butcher replied: "You
owe me $2.S5." And the farmer
had to pay it.
The butcher had bought the
hogs ut wholesale price and charged
the farmer retail rates for the parts
he reserved.
In effect the farmer had made
the butcher present of two hogs
and then had paid $2.S5 for GER
tain parts of them.
As a rule the farmer sells his
hogs on the foot and buys them back
in small quantities. He keeps no
account of his purchases and sales;
il he did the results would surprise
him MS much as it did the Salem
farmer in the above transaction.

THE FOREST RESERVES

in which he advocated free grazing
on the public domain. His reason
is that none of the middle states
ever paid dollar for using any Of
the grass on the public lands.
Mr.. Norris interrupted the speak
er and asked: But if the govern
ment owns lands in your state or
mine, that prior to these reserva-
tons were used by people without
giving compensation or paying
any taxes, or anything, and these
lands are now being leased and
controlled by the government, have
we any right to complain that they
are using their own property now
and getting revenue that is being
put into the reserves for the pur-
pose of improving them, when part
of it goes to the state as matter
of fact, and before that the state
received nothing?"
To which Mr.. Taylor replied:
ut has been one of the important
rights and privileges of the set
tiers of every state in the Union
for hundred years to use free of
charge the public domain for the
grazing of their stock, and why
should not our cattle be allowed to
eat government grass which would
otherwise 90 to waste?"
Mr.. Taylor said: I'VE want to
get the lands in the hands of the
settlers. 1t is mockery to re-
tain within the forest reserves hun
dreds of thousands of acres of good
agricultural land that has not had
tree on it for 500 years.
There are nearly 100000
acres now within the forest re-
serves in the state of Colorado,
practically one-fourth of our state,
and the press and the public and
the Legislature have officially stated
that two-thiris of it is not forest
land at all.
"The average altitude of the Is
forest reserves within the state of
Colorado is about 5000 feet.
The agricultural land is not
needed within the forest reserves
for any legitimate purpose. It
will produce immense crops of oats,
alfalfa, timothy, potatoes, small
fruit, and many other products,
and we want it taken out and have
it surveyed and opened for settle

laws and without harassing regu.
lations, to be settled and become
the homes of many thousands Of
good citizens"

STATE pENlTENTIARY REPORT
Interesting Report by Warden
Wolfer.

TIL ere were 706 inmates of the state
prison Aug. l., 1910, according to the
ninth annual report OF Warden Henry
Wolfer submitted to the state board
Of control.
This is IL more than at the same
time two years ago. Eleven of the
706 were women and 80 were serving
life sentences.
There are 508 single prisoners, II
married and having no children, IS
married and with children, and %
widowers with children. Since the
parole law went into effect in 1894,
ISL prisoners were paroled.
The financial report shows net
profit from the Irvine plant during the
last two years of 1928, 28093, an in
crease of Sl6, $4,000 over the previous
biennial earnings.
Per capita earnings of the prisoners
we're $338.62 in 1910 and S4O9. SO in 1909.
Expense per capita was S2O1.O8 in 1910
and $685. Sc in 1909.
The prison Chautauqua Society is
we'll attended and continues a health
full source for mental development.
1t is Differed by the prisoners them
selves and the widest range of liberty
consistent with good discipline is
allowed and encouraged.
Some individuals in prison as we'll
as in the world at large are discour-
aged, if not killed, by that banefu]
influence that comes from following
the dead line of monotony. Prison
discipline and prison requirements at
the best are gloomy. If the situation
was rightly pderstood-the modern
prison would provide more amuse.
ment and entertainment, more of the
real currents of healthful life, than is
now customary, Or in many instances
possible. Some of our best people
think that modern prison methods
have already gone too far in this di
rection. On the other hand, the sen
timentalist is carried to the extreme il
the other direction-some going sc
far as to express the belief that We
should do away with locks and bars
and prison walls-in fact, treat thu
convict with marked considerations
because he has broken the law. The
practical, true angel Of vision, is
between these two extremes. On this
| middle ground we must think out anc
develop those reformative principles
which will aid the fallen man to re-
gain his feet and stand alone. The
New Prison will give US ample facili
ties to work out some of these prison
problems.

ASSIST YOUR MAIL CARRIER
Is the Earnest Request of the
POST Office Department.
You Should Provide Facilities,
for the Receipt of your Mail.

By direction of the Post Office De-
partment, Postmaster Peterson invites
the attention of patrons of the local
Office to the advantages of providing
facilities for the receipt of their mail
by erecting conviently accessible boxes
or cutting suitable slots in their doors.
Such action would enable the post
master to give a prompter and better
delivery service with the means at his
disposal, since the carriers can cover
much more territory in less time if not
their ring. Private receptacles for
mail are also a great convenience to
the householder, obviating the neces-
sity of responding to the carriers call
at inconvenient moments and per-
hitting the safe delivery of mail in the
absence of members of the household.
They also prevent the occasional
necessity of a carriers proceeding on
his route without delivering mail be-
cause of failure to answer his ring
within reasonable time, and enable
him to make deliveries to patrons
living on or near the end of the route
at an earlier hour.
It has been shown by actual ex-
perIence that the benefits derived by
patrons of city delivery from the use
of such receptacles far outweigh the
small expense involved. AS this Office
is interested in furnishing the best
possible service at the least expense,
your compliance with the foregoing
suggestions will be much appreciated.

Same old Moral.

Here is what the New York Jour
nal, newspaper with so large cir
culation that it is printed on nine
presses, calls a.good story:
A man lost a pocketbook contain
ing So, 900 in cash. He lost it among
those supposed to be his friends.
There were no outsiders there, no dis
reputable characters What was he
to do? Before you hear what HE did,
answer this; What would YOU do in
such a case? You could do many
things. Advertise a reward, goto the
police, hire private detectives, go to
each of those that were in the room
when the money was lost, and make
apersonalappeal, trusting that the man
with the money would give it back;
you could try any number of plans,
use all your powers of appeal and
Imagination. What, do you think,
would be the best way to get back the
money? The man in the story did
nothing at all. And he got his money.
He said not a word to any one about
his loss. He did not tell his partner,
he old not even tell his wife. He let
no word slip that would even cause a
suspicion in any ones mind that the
money was gone. He was, conse-
quently, absolutely sure that only two
human beings knew anything about
the lost money--himself and the sup
posed friend by whom the lost pocket
book had been dishonesty kept.
Patiently the man kept silent, and
waited. He waited a week, then six
and at last, after a year had
gone by, one Of those that had been
with him when the money was lost,
said to him casually; sBy the way,
did you ever find who got that
pocketboek you lost?" YES" ans
wered the loser, 81 found out this
You got the money, and
you're going to give it back to me. =
The other, taken by surprise, fright
ened by the certainty with which the
man accused him, made some lame ex-
cuse about meaning to give him q
fright that would teach him to be care
full, and returned the money.
Same old moral. Keep your mouth
shut.

THEATRE NEWS
Season Opens next Tuesday
Evening with est. Elmo" Few
Decentralization OF Famous Old
Novel. Unique and Original
Version.
The Talk of the Season.

'sSt. Elmo" which gave such uni
versal satisfaction in this city last
Christmas, will be presented to the
people of New Ulm next Tuesday
evening. This production although
somewhat different from the former is
equal to if not better than the one that
was here last year.
The announcement that the excellent
play est. Elmo" will be given at the
Turner Theatre next Tuesday evening,
will be received with interest by an
unusually large percentage Of the
population, for practically everyone
has read this sterling work Of fiction.
The book, from which the play has
been carefully taken, was written by
Augusta J. Evans more than forty
years ago, but, Notwithstanding the
lapse OF time, it is still a highly priced
volume in every library and to-day at
every bookstore runs the "six best
sellers'' a close race for popularity.
Three generations have praised est.
Elmo'', and it is curious fact that
theatrical producers have not before
appropriated it to their uses. It is
less than a year ago that Grace Hay
ward, the popular actress-dramatist,
and author of the play "Graustark"
undertook a dramatization of the
famous OLD novel.
The present play is the result of
more than six months labor and that
she time was we'll spent is evidenced
by the instantaneous success of Miss
Hayward's version. The play is a
genuine triumph both from an artistic
and financial point of view. In fact,
among theatrical folk, it is the talk
Of the year.
The management guarantees that
this city will receive the original COM
pany in it's entirety, cast of absolute
trust-worthiness and production in
harmony with the general merits of the
entertainment.
