Head of Winona Diocese Catho-

7Winona, Mimi, January 30.--The
urgent need of pointing out the de-
ception to be made in the lure of
the city with it's short hours of labor.
it's diversions and amusements as
contrasted with the advantages and
independence of the farmer in his
rural community is emphasized by
Bishop p. r. Heffron of the Catholic
diocese of Winona, formerly head Of
ST. Paul's seminary. st. Paul.
The bishop, in the current issue
of the Courier, the official organ of
the diocese, treats of this question
under the caption Stay on the
Farm" He points out the defects
of the slogan Back to the Land" at
has had it's day and some place, but
has lost it's force" says the bishop.
No Place for City laborer.
THE farmer is a skilled workman
In his own field. Not one in ten of
the unskilled workers in our cities
would make good farm hand. He
has neither the skill nor the indus
try that is required in successful
farm worker. His irregular life has
unified him for the steady day by
day work and watchful care that are
indispensable on the farm. 1t is all
but useless to place such, man on
the farm-even with steady employ
ment and good wages assured him
there. The chances are that within
a few weeks, or even few days, he
will drift back to the city and the
bread line. Such men will herd and
crowd in our cities and then blame
society for their own failure. 1t is
their own lack of industry that is
to blame for their condition. They
make easy recruits FOR the socialists
and the 4 won't work agitators.
"Stay on Farm" Slogan Needed.
Meanwhile the farms are recruited
up to only fraction of their capa-
city because competent workers can
not be secured for them. And men
who are in a measure skilled work
ers in that line and who could ac-
quire competence for their later years
there, continue to drift to the cities
to swell the ranks of the casually
employee and to waste the opportu-
mites that will never come again
What we need is not back.to-the-
farm movement, but a stay-on-the-
farm education that will teach the
advantages and the independence of
rural life as compared with the real
tiles of the city workers hopeless

III is true that as he says Mankato

Will find some way to pay for it,

citizens of her town that are broad

thing right here, that / didn't saw
before, that while these fellows are
trying to make you believe that Man
| kato cares nothing about this Fari-
bault route, there are men in Man
kato that when they take their fam
road and through Gods beautiful
country even if a road down that
river bottom was paved with gold
and there are men there that stilN
hold to their former declarations,
that this is the best route, although
for financial and political reasons
many have forgotten their first dec
laration. But this mans statements
that Madison Lake never started
anything much, and lot more along
the me line thrown at me indi-
Vidually, are not true. for ! was the
man that proposed the crawling of
| that whole twelve miles that winter
and many in Mankato and even in
Madison Lake took my proposition
as big joke. but we did il by the
aid of loyal citizens and farmers.
u. NJ. Barclay of Madison Lake was
the man that proposed building that
road through to St Paul and it was

that took up both these great prop
ositions and it was Madison Lake
that arranged all the meetings in the

GHOST STALKS ABROAD
new ULM ALL EXCITED

New 5Ulm has a real, live "ghost"
that stalks abroad after dark and
cavorts about the streets at the
witching hour of night, when church
yards yawn and graves yield up their
dead. So ghostlike is the stranger
and so canny is his appearance, it
is not now necessary for the curfew,
to toll the kpell of parting day"
and send the little folks scampering
off to bed. Maidens fair do not
meander on the streets without
husky male escorts, for they fear
the ghost. The phantom is seen
here, there and the other place, and
strange to say the accounts of what
he, she, or it looks like quite gener-
ally tally with one another and lend
color to the belief that someone is
very foolishly tempting fate by play
ing pranks. One Of our citizens on
going to bed saw his "ghostly high
ness"-all accounts agree that the
specter is exceedingly tall-emerge
from the alley back Of Postmaster
Liesch's residence and turn into
Washington street, Sunday evening,
gliding along in most approved
ghostly fashion.
Appeared Wraith.Like.
Others have seen him appear,
wraith-like, from the rear of Bueng-
er's furniture store. One young
woman going home alone on German
street was terror stricken by seeing
what she believed was the disturbing
creature. This latter adventure
however was explained away by
moon shining on pile of ice.
Another story had it that one of the
brave young men had chased the
ghost and heaved a stone at it,
whereupon the ghost leaped a fence
in quite human fashion Persistent
rumors Monday and Tuesday had
the ghost lodged in the county Jail
but if there he must be real ghost
for the Falstaffain built sheriff de-
clares that the ghost is invisible to
him.
Has the Ghost Been Licked?
Equally persistent rumors said the
ghost had been caught by someone
and given a good drnbbing before
being turned over to Landlord Julius.
A number of the North State street
residents where the ghost seems to
make himself most numerous, are said
to be prepared to give the offender
warm reception. 1t is our opinion
that the imprudent night-walker will
quietly cease his pranks and disap-
pear-as indeed would be the wisest
course considering the satisfactory
excitement he has succeeded in
stirring up. At any rate The New
Ulm Review will keep a sharp look
out for the ghost and if need be put
him to the mat.

was encored.
The band won their greatest praise
with American Patrol" a medley of
patriotic and we'll known songs. The
selection was played with a swing
that pleased everyone, and it was
encored. The Poet and Peasant

numbers.
The concert as a whole was one
which would speak we'll for the mu-
