HUS BANDS FAITH
IS STILL UNsHAKEN
Testifies in Case Of the Woman Rid
 den on . Rail.

Waukegan, H., Dec 3.-The story of how small town gossip wrecked a happy home, told on the witness stand here today by John Richardson, crip- pied husband of the woman who was ridden Cn a rail at Nolo, near here, last summer, left the audience, which crowded the small court room, thoughtful and subdued. Six women are the defendants.
 There were smiles when the hus- band with his twisted limbs and the assistance of a stout stick hobbled from the side of his pretty wife to the witness chair, but there were none a simple tale of love and trust and loy- atty; there was neither malice nor resentment in ii.
 T don't know why they gos5iped about my wife unless 1t was because sine was pretty" said the witness. 'W 9 were happy together. l thought that if she went away the gossip would stop and I was going to borrow money so sine could take $ trip, when the wo- men attacked her. I was helpless, I am a cripple and I couldn't move from my wheel chair when they took her and put her on the rail"
 Counsel for the defense took lip R1chardson's attempt to borrow money been used to get a divorce,
 No, mo-" replied the witness, 'Sf4e didn't want one and l didn't: she said she would rather stay and face the gossip. Since the assault sine hasn't been home, She can't very well come back and I can't leave my bus mess

THE WAY IT WORKS OUT
Liability Law Comes Back On Con-
sumner In Increased
Prices

The new liability law which went
into effect last week already shows re-
suits. These results are that all peo-
pie who employ labor have raised the
price of the finished product. For in
stance, contractors in Window will
hereafter charge. customers about Soc
per day increase for every man en-
ployed. And this is only the starter.
1t cannot be otherwise, as any person
who stops to reason, must see. The
law is considered to be an advanced
step in legislation, and probably is,
but the fact remains that the mass
of the people are going to bear the
burden of it, not the employer. Al
ready his margin of profits is so small
that this added burden must be passed
on to the shoulders of the consumer,
and it is. It was supposed when the
mortgage registry tax went into effect
the capitalist would be the one to bear
the burden, but it developed the cost
of this tax and was added to the inter-
est paid. And so with the liability
law. The cost of it. which at present
is excessively high, must be paid by
the consumer, and hereafter when the
purchasing public finds the prices adj
vanced for the wares it buys it can be
satisfied as it is only a matter of law.

OUR NEIGHBOR'S OPINION
Fairfax Standard Gives Good Rea-
sons For County Agents

Several of the Redwood County
papers are making light of the fact
that their county has recently Sc
cured an agricultural agent, and in
stead of assisting him with his inn
portant work the same as the entire
bunch of Renville County papers
have done since the naming of Agent
Morris, as our county agent, they oc-
casionally delight in slamming the
agent of their county. In doing that
they perhaps think that they are voic-
ing the sentiment of the farmers of
that county, but we will wager that
the majority of the best farmers are
commencing to realize already that
they can receive much good by TAX
ing the advise of their agent in many
things. The agents do not profess
to know it all any more than do
others in various walks of life, and
are coming in contact with new ideas
every day. County Agent Morris of
Renville County has spent several
days in Fairfax and vicinity during
the past week helping farmers vacci-
nate their hogs and disinfect the pens,
and informs us that he has serum
for farmers who will inform him that
they desire same. Not only that,
but he is talking the raising of al
falfa to our farmers and has inter-
ested a number of them in ordering
seed-he saves on the cost of seed
by cooperating with other county
agents. Just now the county agricul-
tural agents are the men who are
expected to do things, but they should
have the solid support of every
newspaper in the county in which
the are working to accomplish the
most good. The idea in this county
has been to do things for the farmer
instead of doing things to him, and
with that end in view we are going
to assist the county agent all we can.

TO INCREASE BOOK SUPPLY
Rent Collection Inaugurated to Sup
ply Demand for New Books

So many of the Library's readers
desire and demand late fiction that a
plan is on foot to furnish the best
books as soon as they are off the
press and can be ordered.
A 'Srent collection" is successful
and satisfactory established plan IN
most all small libraries, and district
part of every large one.
A rent of five cents week, or
fraction of week, is charged for
each book drawn; subject renewal at
the same rate; or if kept overtime,
subject to fine of two cents day.
Custom and policy decree that each
copy in rent collection shall be dup
Heated by free copy on the free
shelves,-thereby denying no one the
free use of the same book, providing
they care to wait their turn to OBJ
tain the copy wanted, and at the same
time allowing those who wish to spend
a nickle to obtain the book the sooner.
By the time these books loose their
current popularity they have more
than paid for their cost and are given
to the library and placed on the free
shelves, while the accumulated funds
buy the next best late fiction.

Columbia Knights
! Are To BeAdmired
Says w J. Bryan In Discovery Day
Speech AT Philadelphia

In his Discovery Day address of
Philadelphia, William J. Bryan paid
the following tribute to the Knights
of Columbus and the church of which
they are members: 81 am glad to take
part here tonight because this Occa-
sion is celebrated under the auspices
of a great organization. The Knights
of Columbus, with membership OF
100000 intelligent, earnest and patrio-
tic men have accomplished much, and
have before them larger work even
than that which they have already
done. No one who is interested in the
ethical things of life, no one who is
concerned about the lifting of the
moral standard of nation can be in
different to the work of any such or
ganization founded upon such prin-
ciples, as those upon which this orga-
nization rests.
"Three hundred thousand men CO.
operating together for the advance
ments of things that are good consti-
tute tremendous power in the land,
and l am so deeply interested in all
that concerns the advancement of
civilization, and especially of this
nations part in the worlds civiliza
ton, that l could not be Indifferent
to the organization under whose au-
spices we meet tonight And the rea-
son why 1 feel honored to be invited
as a guest tonight is that organiza-
ton is connected with the largest
branch of the Christian church.
CAS- member of a Christion church,
though a different one from this, /
am proud of what the Catholic church
has accomplished in this country and
in the world. When travelling
through the foreign lands, l have not
yet found a country which it's mis-
sionaries have not reached, not
country in which its devotion to
Christian ideals has not been exem-
plified."
