on the bank. He shouted his name
to Miss Evens, asking her to "break
the news to mother" just as the
steer went down.
Believing that Torgensen had
drowned, Miss Evens left for her

cerning the whereabouts Of Tor
gensen's people, which was given.

The cowboys brother, Ole Tor
gensen of Crosby, and Lars Rude
of Crosby, hearing of the reported

son, took the first train for Garri-
son to look up tho man who was
supposed to have lost his life. Ar
irving at Garrison, they hired an
automobile and made search of
the countryside and >along the riv-
er for traces of Roy Torgensen.
Returning to Garrison that same
day, they found Roy Garrison safe
and sound. The cowboy, who is
riding from San Francisco to. his
home at Ellendale, Minn., on his
broncho's back, has resumed his
journey across the prairies of North
Dakota.
Ole Torgensen and Lars Rude
were in Minot on their way back
to Crosby. They expressed them
selves as mighty glad it was a
false alarm" and turned out the
way it did.

JAIL k|DNAPPER OF
YOUNG ROLEHE GIRL

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 25.-Re-
QUESTION papers have been issued
for the return to this state of one
John c. Salisbury, who is wanted
at Rolette on a cnarge Of kidnap-
ping. 1t is charged that on Sep
tember 16 Salisbury borrowed 4
driving rig from hts brother-in-law.
Morgan, to drive to town with
Eunice, daughter Of his brother-in-
law, and that neither OF them have
been seen since II that vicinity.
The man has now been located in
Iowa and will be brought back to
stand trial. The girl in the case
is just a few months under 1G
years of age and 1t Is probable that
q more serious charge will be lodg-
cd against Salisbury when he is
brought back to the state.

BOARD A
GL|MMER Of HOPE

- Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 25.--Al-
though the state pardon board does
not meet until Dec. 2, nearly one
half of the inmates of the peniten-
tiary have applied for hearing
before the board. There are, OF
course. among that number many
who put in their claims as often as
they are allowed and for whom
there is positively no hope of fav-
orable action. However, there is
a large sign in the penitentiary,
within sight of all, announcing the
date of the meeting, and the slight
est chance is all that many want.
Probably the most striking ap-
piication is one from an inmate
who is totally disgusted with pris-
on life." 1t remains to be seen
whether or not his argument will
have any weight with the board,
hut as he has put in an application
pAfore, on the same grounds. it
is probable that he will have to
put up with the "disgusting life
until he has served his time.

The High Cost of Living

In Youngstown, Ohio, lives grocer
with personality. He is an advertis-
ing grocer who writes his own adver-
tisements, and some are unique. Here
is a recent one:
"Some of you people give me pain
about the high cost of living. You
don't know any more about it than my
kid, nine months old. All she knows
is to throw my watch on the floor, pull
my hair, coax me for pennies to buy
candy. | have the most up-to-date
poultry farm in this section. and | have
the best laying strain of hens in the
country, and employ the best men that
money can hire. 1t costs me nearly
two dollars dozen to produce fresh
eggs at the present time. charge you
about one-fourth of the amount, yet
you say am robbing you. I'm selling
you strictly fancy Florida oranges at
fifteen and twenty cents dozen. The
poor farmer that raised them, after
paying for the picking and packing,
gets about ten cents box. The rail-
road company gets the balance. You
rush over to the opera house and pay
81 for seat to see some chickens and
old hens show their legs and shape and
that is all right You rush down to the
millinery store and pay from ten to
twenty dollars for hat, the first cost
of which is about SO, and that's all right.
Of course you get a swell hat You
pay $50 for chiffon dress, nothing to
it. ! can put it in my overcoat pocket,
but its the style and it's all right. But
when it comes to something to eat, you
have fit. Take my advice, take care
of your stomach. ;"

Advertising on Increase.

One of the reasons why advertising
has grown so enormously of recent
years is that merchants realize that a
business to succeed must carry an
atmosphere of prosperity. The man
who enters business office with soil
ed clothes, and face unshorn, and
muddy boots, is not apt to get job.
This may be due to superficial judg-
ments, but people have to make the
best use they can of exterior indica-
tons. Similarly the public judges of a
merchants success by exterior signs.
A business man who does not advertise
conveys an impression of passiveness
and indifference, of slow going and old
fashioned methods. The public values
enterprise in retail trade higher than
almost any other one quality. Liberal
advertising is to a merchant what good
clothes and a clean cnt appearance are
to a salesman. 1t suggests that a
merchant is prosperous, that he has in
the past succeeded in pleasing the
public, that he is alert enough to get
good bargains for his customers. 1t
shows that he has such confidence in
his goods that he is willing to spend
money to tell people about them.

First Meeting
YIN. c. A.Club
Held at the Wolverine Hotel,
Boyne City, on Saturday

The first meeting of the CharlevoiX
County Y. M. c. A. Club was held at
the Wolverine Hotel, Boyne City, Sat-
urday forenoon, at which time the club
was permanently organized and offic-
ers elected. The club is composed of
the Y. M. C.. A. leaders of the high
schools of the county, numbering about
twenty, of whom sixteen were present.
The meeting opened with devotional
exercises, conducted by H. T. Glezen,
who dealt with Leadership" The
officers were next elected, the results
the vote being
President-Emory d. Pierce, Charlie
voiX.
Vice President - Fred Erfourth,
Boyne City.
Secretary-Treqsurer Victor Cross,
East Jordrn.
After the business session the young
men had dinner at the Wolverine and
then listened to several inspiring talks
by the older men present. A. B. Ball
got down under the surface and gave
some thoughts which went home to the
boys, centered around "The Cost and
Reward of Leadership" He cited the
incident of Scotch minister who was
severely criticized for only converting
one boy in years work, but it devel-
oped that this boy became the great
est scholar rnd evangelist of his time,
the renowned Mott. With this illustra-
ton he pointed out that one cannot
Judge the results of true leadership by
immediate results.
Rev. j. M. Gleason followed Mr.. Ball
with an ambition-stiring talk with
make the best use of the tools you
have" as the theme. He pointed out
the Biblical examples of Moses, Samson
and David, explaining that il duty is
performed in such way as to receive
Gods support, failure is impossible.
Do the best with the materials you
have and don't make the lack of the
proper training and resources an ex-
cuse for non-endeavor.
The young men present were enthu-
siastic and entered into the new plans
with a spirit which precludes the possi-
bility of failure from any standpoint
1t is planed to have the clvb meetings

Farmers Holding Their Potatoes

That the farmers of Michigan are
holding their potatoes in reserve and
waiting for higher prices is the state
ment of a Grand Rapids wholesale
buyer.
"They are doing a statewide piece
of gambling on possibilities, and while
the shippers are looking for lower
prices, the farmers are looking for
higher prices. This is situation faced
about every other year. Although the
action on the part of the farmers is very
general, it is not concerted. There is
no organization tending to crystalize
such condition. But the farmers still
cling to report circulated early last
summer to the effect that the potato
crop for the year was going to be
small.
Although the farmers in eastern
and western states are selling at much
lower prices, the Michigan farmers
refuse to sell unless they can secure
the rates they want. They are gener-
ally in a conition prosperous enough
to take this stand. The risks are self
assumed, and the farmers appear still
confident that they will eventually get
the prices they want. Among shippers
it is the opinion that this condition can
not hold out great deal longer, but
the outcome is as yet undecided.
