One hundred and eighty passengers of the North German H Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie, the steamer which carried a cargo of about s11,- O0o. GOO in gold and silver. and which put into Bar Harbor early Tuesday morning because of fear of capture passed through this city Wednesday, morning and reached New London at 1o:15 o'clock. The tourists were pas sengefs on special train of the New Haven road from Bar Harbor to New York.
 The tourists were first and second cabin passengers. The majority of the number were American tourists going to Europe for sightseeing while the remainder were Germans who had been touring this country and were returning to their native land.
 The tourists on the train were all prosperous and well-to-do. All were well dressed and we'll groomed.
 Dr. Reginald Gorham Of Philadel- phia told a reporter the story or the flight of the Cecilie characterizing 1t as the most stirring event he had ey- CT taken part in.
 we were. out four days. it was Fri day night, when the passengers were informed Captain Polack that owing to the fact that war had been de- clared. we would turn back and head for America A heavy fog hung over the sea with our lights out. we plunged through a heavy sea We had been going about a6 knots an hour on the trip across, but on the way back, it seemed that every effort was made to exceed this speed which is supposed to be the capacity speed of the vessel.
 "A Committee of passengers, fearful of the heavy fog through which we were racing protested to the captain that the fog horn should be sounded. This was done for a while, but it ev- idently resulted in our being detected by French cruiser and chased. Dur ing the last 36 hours we travelled with out outside lights or fog horn sound ing. Everyone seemed to be greatly relieved when the steamer arrived at Bar Harbor.
 the Union station at New London the passengers told their troubles. One man declared that he would go any where on a steamship that Captain Polack Of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie wanted to go. Another passenger de- clared with just as much vehemence that he would never sail again on g ship commanded by Captain Polack
 Looking fer American Coffee.
 A group of passengers aIightine from the train wanted to know where the restaurant which served the best coffee was located. They said nobody in the world knows how to make cof- fee like Americans and it is their ex- perienee that a good cup of coffee can be found in almost any American lunch room
 Contrary to reports the train did not carry the fortune in gold and sil- yer which was on board the steamer when she abandoned her trip across the Atlantic and put into Bar Harbor

SUNNY SOUTH TEXAS;

A number Of farmers have, been
down to South Texas to inspect the
land owned by the. N. S, I. Realty Co.,
of Minneapolis, and are, so well
pleased that they plan on forming a
colony of their friends, who like them
selves, wish to get into more con-
genial climate. and at the same, time
get the best results for their labor
and investment.
They can readily see the great pos
sibilities in Texas, realizing after a
trip there that the land is sure to
increase in price rapidly, and that
two crops can be grown under the
natural rainfall. Every good judge
of land is. well pleased with this par
ticular tract. Our next excursion

GOOD REASONS FOR OBJECTIONS
Continued from finstspage)
Can't Be Specialists

Employers frequently make the
statement that high school graduates
entering their employ must be taught;
they do not knew that. particular bus
mess before hand. Why should they
know that particular business? To
quote one Of your. editorials: "The
chief function Of, the schools. is, to
train the pupils minds, and not fit
them for business" The. schools
should not be expected to make spec
ialists, or fit their pupils for some
particular niche.
Perhaps Mr.. Reiff said a bigger
thing than he intended to when he
wrote, "the main thing is that the
young people learn to, know their val
ue.' Of course he had in mind the
money value that the graduates place
upon their services. Even in this
respect, ito know their. value" is a
good thing, since, it makes impossible
their exploitation by employers.
In May of 1912 there was. vac
ancy in the office of local factory.
Two boys, then in. the second year of
the high school, were offered the posi-
ton at $4,000 a month. Neither one
OF them accepted it. One of the boys
was earning $40 month by clerk
ing evenings and Saturdays; the 9th
er was making, S12 a month doing
piece work outside. of school hours.
Was there any good reason why they
should give up their high school edu-
cation to accept that job? All of the
graduates of the local high school
are working either at home, at some
higher school or for a wage. Prob
ably none of them. demanded or re-
ceived $75 for the first job they Sc
cured after graduation. If any ono
of them did receive that, it must have
been because the employer considered
the services of the applicant worth
that much.
Learning True Value
However, these young people learn
to know their value in much larger
sense. By deferring the choice offtheir-
life work for several years, they learn
more about themselves, their predi-
lections and aptitudes. They learn
more about the variety of activities
that are open to, them. Consequent
ly, when they do choose. their life
work they are less likely to be- mis-
fits. They learn that life consists of
more than earning wages; that they.
have within them powers and quail
ties which, if developed, will make life
richer, even though they do not yield
financial returns. They acquire ideals
and vision which enable them to look
beyond the next pay day and to plan
a larger future. At the same time
they are acquiring an education that
makes them more intelligent and wide
awake as citizens, quicker of mind in
learning new job, and one that will
serve as the foundation for a higher
education, in case the work they
choose makes that higher education
necessary.
Education means capacity for de-
velopment." If this is true, then
learning to know ones value would
seem to be rather important element
in education.

A. J.. Praxel, Lamberton attorney
at law breaks the ice this week by
throwing his hat in the ring for rep
resentative. We have never met Mr..
Praxel, know nothing of his policies
hence can offer no comments. He has
however already landed the first re-
QUESTION for winning, that being the
opposition of Stars Sun at Redwood
Falls. This came out the week before
he announced so as to be on time. We
will be pleased to meet our would be
representative at an early date and
be able to comment on his candidacy.
His announcement elsewhere in this
issue. Milroy Echo.
Mr.. Praxel's boyhood days were
spent behind the counter in the F.
Schandera store at Lamberton, and
on the farm, and at present he has
charge of some twenty or thirty
farms that he looks after for nom
residents and retired farmers, which
show that those who know him, have
absolute confidence in his honesty and
ability to treat every one with fair
ness. He is an educated man, well
versed IN farming and knows the needs
of the farmer much better than any
old timers do. Being lawyer, he can
draw all his own bills introduced in
the legislature, instead of depending
on some University student to do it
for him.-Vesta Censor.
Mr.. Praxel is a Lamberton boy
reared at this place, received his
youthful education at our public
schools and from here he attended
law schools at ST. Paul and North
field. For the past several years he
has practiced law in Lamberton and
is meeting with success. He is also
identified with other interests in our
town and having lived all of his life
In Redwood county and being closely
identified with the farming interests,
he knows something of the needs of
our people regarding legislation,
which means much in the develop
ment of our county. A. j. Praxel is
good mixer, has a host of friends
throughout the county who are ready
to put their shoulders to the wheel
to give him boost towards success
In the office he seeks. We trust that
our people in this part of the county
and we are sure they will-sup-
port him in this worthy cause.-Lam-

incidentally the chicken coop where
Mr.. Greiger, by turning night into
day, is trying to induce the, hens to
produce a. double quantity Of those
golden nuggets known as eggs.
Expense Not Excessive
Mr.. Greiger. says that aside. from
the first expense of installing the ex-
pense connected with this light and
power system is not exorbitant. The,
storage batteries used are guaranteed
to last for ten years.. the1 system re-
quires recharging only about once in
ten days, and the quantity Of gaso-
line consumed is. not,very. great. When

to consideration, the cost is indeed
slight.
Back To The Farm
Although when young man Mr..
Greiger learned the carpenter trade,
hesdecided, that, farming wass a. much
quicker and shorter way to get to
Easy-Street. Starting with a very
small capital he has owned and i'm
proved two OCT threec fine farms and
is.now feeling fit TO enjoy the results
of his years of labor. AS an example
