SECRET SERVICE
HAS Big Change

Washington, Jan. 19.-The Depart
ment of Justice is making arrange
ments to establish permanent head
quarters in the large cities of the
country for it's force of secret and
special agents. This force will sup
plant the Secret Service as the great
force of the Government for the detec
ton of crime.
Permanent headquarters will be in
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles
FL Paso. San Antonio, New Orleans
Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Bulfa
10, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia
Boston and Atlanta. The New YorF
and Chicago offices have already beer
established with six men each. Ell
forts are now being made to establish
several of the agents of the depart
ment permanently in Philadelphia.
In the past year agents OF the DE
partment of Justice have been graz
ually taking over work formerly dom
by the Secret Service. Reports ar
afoat that the Secret Service forc
of the Treasury will be done ava
with entirely, and that all its WorI
will be taken over by the agents g

ty, is working hard to bring the boys
OF his county up to first place again.
1t Is borne in mind that 1t was in
Holmes under former Superintendent
William H. Smith, that the first club
was organized in Mississippi, but last
year they had to take second place
and give way to one of the newer
counties. The very fact Of pioneering
such a movement is of itself glory
enough, with some to spare.
AS an instance of what the girls are
doing, the following examples are
cited in the bulletin:
Miss Thelma Anderson, Of Forrest
county, made a splendid record with
her hens, averaging 107 eggs in little
less than nine months. Would it moi
be we'll to give the girls in every coun
ty chance to beat this record during
the present year?
Miss Thornton, of Clarke county
cooked ninety-seven different dishe
from corn, and it is still possible tina
she may be able to do better in tn
contest this fall. The results OF
tanned by such contests are splendid
and it would be we'll for every count
to give the girls a chance.
esther Lee, of Forrest county
started with few hens and made "a
the first season."

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 19.-In his COM
ments on the extension of the Boys
corn Club system up to the present
stage of existence of that most potent
movement in the material expansion
OF the State Of Mississippi, Commits
sloner of Agriculture Blakeslee OBJ
serves:
Seventy counties, $4,000 boys and
5000 girls should be the mark for
1911, The figures can be reached, so
let us begin right now to prepare the
prellminaries. Make one acre the
standard and charge rent for it at IS.
Charge all work for the boy at 10
cents per hour and for animals at
cents for each hour. Estimate the
barnyard manure at 81 for two
morse load, to cover saving, hauling
and distributing. While these figures
may not be exactly right for all sec
tons Of the state, they are as fair fol
one rs the other, A uniform blank
for report would be an admirable
thing. Can't we agree on one to BIZ
used IN each county? More than hal

RAD TANGLE in
THE FINANCES AT
JACKSON, MISS.
City Departments Get Funds Mixed
While Water Commission is
Out $4,000.


Special TO me Neos.
jackson, Miss, Jan. 19.-The city OF
Jackson seems to be in somewhat OF
a financial pickle, a legacy handed
down from the administration prior
to Mayor Crowder's first term, and it
is going to take some clever foot
work to avoid monetary tangle dur
ing the coming year.
The Wharton administration, it
seems, left deficit of about $4,000
to the Crowder regime, in the form OF
an overdraft at one of the local banks.
In order to save interest on this
money, only about $4,000 of which has
been paid off, funds were borrowed
from the water commission, which
falls due in February, and the city
has nothing to pay back this sum.
In addition to this the other funds
have borrowed one from the other til
the matter is so mixed up it will re
auire much time and trouble t;
straighten the matter out. To add t
this confusion the books had beef
posted from last October, and Audito
Ray, when he started to make out
statement for the finance committed
learned that he would first have t
post the books before he would b
able to start on this statement, whic
is necessary before the finance con
mittee can tell where it stands.

The Hold.up-A Huge Joke

The reported hold.up on the North
western road, between here and Man
kato. seems, after the smoke has
cleared up, to have resolved itself IN
IN loss of a sensation than was ORR
ginally supposed.
The much talked Of hold-up took
place between Judson and Cambria
on the short line between Mankato
and New Ulm, an eastbound freight
being the chosen victim
The freight train had gone a short
distance beyond Cambria when Two
men appeared on the track and tranta-
cal)y signalled for stop. When the
train was brought to stop these men
took to their heels and disappeared
into the woods along the track. The
freight then moved on towards Man
kato, reporting the matter TO Inc
authorities in that city. 1t was
Thought that q mistake had been mace
hv the men who held up the train IN
regard to whether it was q 1relsn'
train or q passenger, and apprehend'
ing possible attempt on the next
passenger, Sheriff Osten was sent out
with heavily armed posse to foil the
attempts of the would be hold-ups'
Nothing was sighted on the way TO
excite the suspicious OF the POSSE
however, and the party arrived mere
unframed and happy. The gentlemen
were entertained by Sheriff julius ana
Can, Nenno until the morning train
took them back to Mankato, they
practicing the same vigilance as
before. Nothing was seen on the
way back either.
The solution to this mystery can
nrobably be accredited to few young
men who we're presumably affected by
the heat and found no other way OF
relieving the strain.

Mr.. Harpke was born in Halber stadt

OF this city ever since. In Germany
he had been in the building business.
He was the owner of confectionery

The new Dormitory AND Music Hall
OF the DR.. NJ. L. College are nearing
completion and the grounds around
the buildings are being remodelled for
fine park and campus. This change
will undoubtedly beautify the college
premises to . marked degree, but it is
to be regretted that great many nice
trees had to be removed for this
purpose.
The conservation of forests is
praiseworthy practice, which should
be realized by every citizen. How
many places around New Ulm, for
example, are to be seen, where trees
have been removed from land which
could. not be turned to agricultural
advantage, for instance, steep hill
sides, which, after the trees have been
removed, become homely clay banks
on which nothing can be grown, the
rich humus on the surface having been
removed by the process OF erosion.
These instances are on small scale
but are no less important on that &C
count. The arid wastes in southern
Michigan, where once the towering
pine held sole dominion, the deserts
in China, speak Of the grasping mania
for the destruction OF forests.
"Woodman, spare that tree!'
The new buildings will be dedicated
with appropriate and impressive SER
vices on Aug. %. Not only the neigh
boring congregations will participate
in this event, but particularly the
ministers and delegates to the BIZ
annual Convention OF the general
Synod of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Michigan, and other States, which

dication, Aug IS to p being the dates

vantages are further augmented wnen
the beautiful location on College hlll
