Sentenced for Larceny.

Charles Alternately was arrested
last Saturday for the theft of about
SIS in change and some liquor from
the Amberg saloon at Chokio. He
waived preliminary examination and
plead guilty before Judge Flaherty
and was sentenced to Saltwater for
an indeterminate sentence
The man has been here off and on
for several years, and has not before
been convinced of crime. He was
under the influence of liquor at the
time.

lowing account of the theft
Early Friday morning C. I. Pen

nrance into the rear door of Reich
muth's saloon. Mr.. Penny, assisted
by M. J. Reardon, going around the
back way, surprised the burglar who
tried to hide behind Olson tire heat
ing furnace. He was apprehended
however and turned over to Marshal
Salmonson. Shortly afterwards. on
opening the Marty -Amberg saloon,
Louie Zismer found the cash register
open and So. in change that was left
there was missing. IL bottles of
liquor and some beer was also taken.
The thief made entrance by prying
out window in rear room and then
cutting hole thru an inside door so
as to reach the keys which were al
ways left in the lock on the inside.
The safe had been tampered with but
was not opened; it contained $4S in
silver and there was SIS in currency
in recess in the register that was
overlooked. The man captured has

SINKING FUND BEGUN.
Conncil Make Levy to Pay
Bonds.

Alderman Lawler intends that the
city of Morris shall pay it's bonded in
debtedness and at the council meet
ing on Tuesday evening brought up
the matter of creating a sinking fund
which would in the course of years
provide money enough to pay the
bonds. The other councilmen favored
the proposition and so $4,000 was
added to the tax levy for this purpose.
A resolution was passed fixing the
tax levy at $4,000 for the general
fund. 81, 200 for the library fund and
$4,000 for the sinking fund.
The present bonded Indebtedness
of the city consists of one issue of
$25, 900 of waterworks bonds, and an
other issue of $4,000 of additional
waterworks bonds, besides an old re-
funded bond of about SIS, 900.
When the bonds are all paid, the
taxpayers will save about $4,000 a
year in interest.

School of Agriculture Students.

The dormitories at the West Central
School of Agriculture are all full
making it impossible to accommodate any
more students on the campus. Arrange
ments have been made however that
will permit of accommodating a consid-
erable number of students in rooms
down town. The students placed in
these rooms will have moderate rent
al to pay besides the expenses at the
institution. The places listed are
especially good and the student will
be subject to practically the same
rules as those at the school. Students
may room down town and BOARD at the
school if they desire.

Students Club.

Mrs. Mary Hagerman was hostess
at the meeting of the Students Club
held October second. A large num-
Der of members were present and
greatly enjoyed the afternoons work.
The resignation of Mrs. Bicknell
left the club without president and
Mrs. F. A. Hancock was unanimously
elected to that office.
Mrs. H. B. Jones and Miss Minnie
Hanson became acting members by
vote of the club.
Mrs. Stone, the vice president, who
presided over this meeting, called
upon Miss Hanson for her report of
the 7th district Federation meeting
held at Tracy last spring. Mrs.
Spooner and Miss Hanson also report
ed the State Federation meeting held
at Sauk Center last week. The club
was especially fortunate in it's choice
of deleagtes to both meetings, the
reports being carefully prepared, full
and vivid in their account of interest
ing features. A new line of work is
to be taken up by the Students Club
this year. An art department was
placed in the hand of the following
committee, Miss Hanson, Mrs.
Myron and Mrs. Spooner. Their spe-
cial work with the assistance of any
of the members they may call upon,
is to be that of interesting young
women IN artistic handwork.
The regular study program for the
day was then enjoyed.

Anton Brandvold Dead.

Cyrus Citizen A telegram was
received here by relatives of Anton
Brandvold bearing the sad intelligence
that he had been accidently killed
near Marmarth, N. D., where he was
working. His brother Olaf and Ed
ward, left Sunday for Dakota in re-
sponse to this telegram. At this
writing nothing more definite has been
received regarding the tragic accident
than the following from the Mime
apolis Journal.
Anton Brandyold was instantly
killed by being crushed beneath the
wheels of gasolene plow engine at
the farm of Charles Sampson. He
had been working the two days previ-
Gus with a stacking crew at the
Sampson farm.
Several rounds of the field were
made before 10 is p. m. when stop
of half an hour was made to repair
the steering device. On next round
Mr.. Dobbie noticed a peculiar jar of
the engine as tho passing over an OBJ
ject and Immediately shut off the pow
er. He discovered that the object
was the body of a man and identified
it as that of Anton Brandvold. 1t is
probable that being attracted by the
powerful headlight of the enigne at
the other end of the field. while the
repair was being made, Brandvold laid
down to wait until the engine came
up, and in the meantime went to sleep.

CITY LIGHT MEETING.
City Plant Estimated to Cost
$16,5OO.

There was representative gather
ing of business men at the armory OF
Wednesday evening in answer to the
call for a mass meeting to discuss
the matter of putting in a municipal
lighting plant. About SO were
present.
j. II. Devenney was elected chair
man and Paul Spooner secretary.
A. E. Garland, representative of
Fairbanks, Morse & Co., of st. Paul,
was present and urged upon the citi
zens the installation of light plant.
preferably Of the three wire type or
the alternating current type. He
advocated the use of oil engines which
are a new form of engine in this Sec
tion of the country and burn what is
known as ''distillate, which is much
the same as road oil and can be pro-
cured here, he estimated, for less
than five cents gallon.
Mr.. Garland answered many ques-
tions that were asked by the citizens
present, and among other things stated
that he believed such system could
be installed by utilization the pole
line of the present system for $15, =
900. He later stated that he believed
that complete new system could be
built for SIG, 500.
When questioned about the cost at
which electricity could be produced,
he said that the cost at the switch
board would be about four cents, and
that current could be sold to consum-
ers for eight cents per thousand with
the assurance given the consumers
that rates would be reduced when
such course would be justified as a
municipal plant is not supposed to be
run; for profit.
When asked about the matter of
pumping the city water, he stated
that a motor and line could be in
stalled for $3.50.
The economies which he laid espe-
cial emphasis upon were the saving
of the wages of a fireman in the rum
ming of these oil engines, the cheap
ness Of the fuel oil, and the advan-
tages of an alternating current.
S. Stewart, the owner of the pre-
sent plant. and R. Baker, the electri-
clan, were present and were interest
ed listeners.
Before the meeting adjourned, J.
H. Mcclure moved that a committee
of three be appointed, which was
later increased to five on motion of
Paul Spooner to investigate the pro-
position and report to future meet
ing.
Mr.. Devennev announced that he
would take some time to appoint the
committee and would announce it later.

FOODS TO BE HIGHER.
Crop Shortage to Boost Cost of
Living.

Higher prices for the winter 1911
1912:is the forecast of the officials of
the department of agriculture at Wash
ington, based upon the knowledge of
crop conditions already in hand.
1t is regarded by the statisticians
of every bureau of the department
that the prices of foodstuffs generally
for the coming winter will be even
higher than those of the winter of
19O9-1O. That those of last winter
will be exceeded is already accepted.
The corn crop shortage, according
to the latest figures. will not be less
than 400, ZOO, 900 bushels. This is
the chief item of Uncle Sans food
producing business.
Corn is the great fattener of meat
producing animals and the increase in
the price of corn must be felt direct
ly in the price of stock feed and in
consequence in the price of all meats.
The potato shortage is even more
noticeable than the corn shortage,
but so far as this country is concerned
is not so serious in it's effect. Last
years potato crop was 339. 600. 900
bushels. This would not be so seri-
GUS matter but for the shortage in
the potato producing areas of Northern
and Western Europe.
Germany's potato crop, the most
important potato crop of the world,
threatens almost total failure. The
normal production of potatoes in Ger
many is in the neighborhood of 1.50O,
900, 600 bushels. This year it will
be scarcely 1000. .O0O.O bushels.
Conditions in France, Austria-Hung-
ary appear to be equally bad.
The corn crop, according to the
agricultural department statisticians,
would not prove so serious if the hay
crop did not also promise to be short.
For the past ten years. the production
of hay per acre has been IA tons.
Last year it was only 1.23 tons. This
year the best average promise is 1.O9
tons. The total production in this
country will not exceed 47,OOO,OOO
tons as against so, 789, 900 tons last
year.
The wheat crop was good; so also
was the smaller rye crop. The Can
adams have made bumper crop of
wheat. which will compensate in some
degree for other shortages here.
"The coming winter is bound to be
winter of advancing prcies and prob
ably some new high records" say the
government statisticians. "It must
be winter of economical handling of
the supply of foodstuffs in hand and
a season of careful attention to the
end that waste shall be at minimum.
There is no disposition on the part
of the department of agriculture to
frighten the public, but they are, con-
vinced that it is destined to pay more
for the necessities of life during the
coming seven or eight months with
the chances favoring some new high |
records in certain directions.
The department has not yet figured |
upon the effect of the shortage in
the Eastern fruit crops.

This balance brings nearly 20 cents
per hundred on the whole load. He
inquired 20 cents on the even hundred
pounds, which amounted to $29.6O.
figuring six hogs weighing 1,745
pounds) that were not included. De-
ducting the $2960 from the S32.64 left
balance of 1914.
This method of handling the hogs
gives to every man all his produce is
worth to any shipper with a chance
to get the benefit of raise in price.
If the load pay out 10 to Is cents per
hundred pounds, each man gets his
rebate as they call it; but if a load
pays out less than 10 cents, what
there is goes into the reserve fund.
In case of loss, it is paid out of this
reserve fund.
One advantage of this method over
the one where the buyer ships and
pays out the net returns at what they
will allow per hundred, is that here
the farmer knows what he is getting
before he loads his hogs, as he can
get the market over the telephone.
We have certain days for shipping,
and do not aim to keep stock in the
yards over night. We pay the price
OF the day We receive the stock.
One of the best proofs of our sue
cess is that the buyers in the nearby
towns have it in for us. This way of
marketing live stock has made
profit of from $1,000 to $4,000 yearly,
with fair treatment assured. We

stock last year

Cooperative Mar
keting Of Live Stock.

+ i. + !. !. :. X i. !. !. j. X \ !. i. j. !


Most communities have their stock
buyer and whenever this buyer is
honest, and gives the producer a good
market and a square deal, the pro-
ducer can we'll afford to let the buyer
do the business for him.
But We have found a number of
cases where the local buyer does not
use good business methods. He may
have as many prices as. he has Gus
toners, or he may not buy the stock
on it's merits. Other buyers have
way of saving the shrink before they
ship. Often the producer is paid for
his stock according to his ability to
make sharp deal and look out for
number one," while the man whom
the buyer guesses to be uninformed as
to stock market, and values, takes
what he can get.
Here at Springfield We have been
shipping our own stock for five or six
years and as a rule it has been salts
factory. Still there are those who are
dissatisfied with our way of doing
business because they cannot work
the buyer and get more than their
stuff is worth, and let the buyer make
it up on the next fellow.
The stock is handled by the Farm
ers' Elevator company, and their buy
er has fee of SIS per car for his work
We aim to buy on 50-cent margin on
St. Paul, and to pay for stock accord
ing to grade, giving fair weight. This
price is paid with the understanding
that if the market raises; or the net
returns permit each stockholder (also
any poor man or renter unable to be
a stockholder) will receive an addi-
tional check for the balance due him on
his cattle or hogs. For example:

CONVICT LABOR IN MINES.

The discussion of the Alabama sys-
tenn of hiring out convicts to work in
coal mines has brought out a new
proposition to the effect that, instead
of leasing the men to the coal COM
panies, the State should itself lease a
large coal mine, in which the convicts
could be employed directly under the
supervision of State officers. 1t does
not appear that this plan will remove
the objections which have been raised
against the working of the men in the
mines. 1t is not charged that the com
panies ill-treat the men, and the main
argument has been that they are put
into hazardous occupation without
their own consent Many of them are
unfamiliar with mining, which largely
increases the risk The plan would
simply shift the responsibility from the
coal companies employing the men to
the officers appointed by the State
Engineering and Mining Journal
