SAFE FROM SEA GHOULS.
No Human Hand Will Ever Reach
the Titanic Grave.

The graves of the Titanic and
those that perished when the ship
went down are safe from desecration
The steamers last resting place lies
two miles beneath the cold, black
north Atlantic, depth where there
is neither light nor eye to see and
where forms of submarine life exist
in tremendous pressure. The vessel
and its cargo are safe from wreck
ers. No diver has ever gone near
to the depth of the boat.
When a diver goes below twenty
fathoms-120 feet-he has only a
few feet more to go until he reaches
the limit of human endurance.
Ten thousand feet below the low
est depth a diver has reached and
lived to tell of it, lies the Titanic,
with its l, ,635 human souls, a COM
plete loss. No way has yet been
found to salvage at third, fourth,
tenth of that depth. When the
divers go down as far as they can
they still hang nearly two miles
above the big liner. Between them
there is cold stratum of water that
exerts pressure of thousands OF
pounds TO the square inch, that COM
pels the shark, the whale and other
surface fish to live always within a
few hundred feet of the surface
None of these fish can penetrate to
the depth of the Titanic.
When the diver tries to go lower
than his little twenty odd fathoms
blood rushes from his ears and nose
so great is the pressure. Before he
reaches depth of 200 feet he is
hauled up insensible. There will be
no bodies recovered that were car.
ried down by the Titanic. Her cargo
is safe from human hands and she
will lie where she sank until the END
of time.

Why We Shake Hands.

Did you ever ask yourself why
you shake hands with person whom
you know? Here is the reason:
In the old days when every man
who had any pretentions of being a
gentleman carried a sword, 1t was
the custom for men when they met,
to show that they had no intention
of treachery, to offer each other
their weapon hands-that lis, the
hand that would be used to draw the
sword, and to withhold the hand was
the signal for fight.
So fixed did this habit become
that long after men ceased to wear
swords they still offered the weapon
hand to friend and refused to offer
1t to an enemy. To this day when
you refuse to shake hands with a
person it signifies that you are at
war. Among savages, who never car
ried swords, the practice of shaking
hands is unknown and it affords
them amusement to see the white
men do it,

The Legend of the Hands.

An old legend says that once three
young ladies disputed about their
hands, as to which were the most
beautiful. One of them dipped her
hand in the pure stream, another
plucked berries till her fingers were
pink, and the third gathered flowers,
whose fragrance clung to her hands.
An old haggard woman passed by
and asked for some gift, but all re-
fused her. Another young woman,
plain, and with no claim to beauty
of the hand, satisfied her need. The
old woman then said: 1T is not the
hand that is washed in the brook,
nor the hand tinted with red, nor
the hand garlanded and perfumed
with flowers that is most beautiful,
but the hand that gives to the poor"
AS she spoke, her wrinkles were
gone, her staff was thrown away,
and she stood there an angel from
Heaven. This is only a legend; but
its judgment is true. The beautiful
hands are those that minister, in
Christ's name, to others.-The Chris
tian Herald.

Importation of foodstuffs into the
United States, including even pota-
toes, are steadily increasing, accord
ing to the bureau of statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
Imports of fruits and nuts are in
creasing at the rate of about $1,000
900 year, while importations of
raisins and oranges are falling off,
due to increased home production.
Two and a half million bushels of
potatoes were imported during the
month of February of the present
year. The total value of foodstuffs
imported for periods of eight months
ending with February have increased
from 1924, 100000 in 1911 to $780,
900, 200 in 1912.

tion of it's peo.
matters closer
The lines are ,e.s>s,< ...~~
list of the cand. .ates for the various
offices will be practically as announce
ed in the last issue of this paper.
Just now the people of the district
seem to be more deeply interested
in the matter of the next congress
man than in anything else political.
The republican candidates are Con-
gressman G.. n. Haugen of North
wood and Senator II. L. Adams of
West Union, and the democratic can
didates Superintendent Sigurd Reque
of Decorah and Supervisor G.. A.
Meyer of Calmar.
Since his first nomination this
newspaper has supported the present
incumbent, Hon. G.. n. Haugen, and
will continue to do so throughout
this campaign. We do so because
we believe him to be in position to
give the district more efficient and
more valuable service than ever be-
fore. We recognize and appreciate
the ability and capacity of Senator
Adams for this position, and possib-
ly in due time the party will honor
him, but our judgment is that in
this peculiar presidential campaign
the district should and will stand
by Congressman Haugen.
Since his advent into congress, Mr..
Haugen has steadily advanced in
position and in influence, until today
he is recognized in Washington and
throughout the nation as well as at
home as keen and shrewd poll
tician, man of mature Judgment,
who has always been found on the
side of the common people and been
the champion of their rights, lead
er among the members of the House
of Representatives.
Upon the occasion of our recent
visit to Washington, We found Mr..
Haugen in the thick of the fight over
the agricultural bill and the report
of the committee upon agriculture.
Had the republicans been in the ma
jority in the House, he would un-
doubtedly have been chairman of
this most important committee, but
his position as leader of the minority
has given him almost as much power
and influence. In the hearings and
in the debates, when he spoke he
was given close attention, and it was
his prerogative to lead in the inves-
LEGATIONS and to withstand the fire
of debate on many occasions.
His fight against the packers and
oleomargarine manufacturers during
the present session has made him
famous among the dairymen Of the
country, for he is recognized every
where as the 'dairyman' friend"
In running fire debate he has been
the man to whom speakers have
turned for facts and information to
combat the opposition. The defeat
of the oleomargarine bill in this ses-
sion is largely through his efforts.
1t behooves the republican party
to present it's strongest candidate
this presidential year, to unite in
support of the common cause against
the common enemy, to lay aside per-
sonalities and local situations in
order that the party may present a
united front and march forward to
victory in November.
