 It was charged that he en- bezzled about $11,000, and at tempted to cover it up by forger- ies. Gus Seawel, the prosecut- ing attorney, says:
 T am thoroughly convinced that while he is legally guilty, yet he is not morally so, for the reaso. that l am satisfied he was used as a tool, and have the par ty whom I believe to be the real guilty party under arrest upon indictments returned at the same term of court"

Shinn, and Ben Row. land, the latter one of the larg- est stockholders in the bank, who say that it was the under standing that a pardon would be requested after Korff had served three months.

SCHOOLS OPEN WITH
LARGE ENROLMENT
Attendance Increased Over That of
sofrner Years.

The Warren public schools opened
their doors last Monday and the day
was spent mainly in enrolling pupils
and in assigning work. Supt. Nit
chell says that the enrolment is
markedly greater than that of form
er years. The attendance from the
country is quite light as is usual the
opening day but as soon as threshing
and most of the fall work is done a
large number will come in and indi-
cations are that the High School
building will be taxed to the limit.
The normal department has al
ready reached the maximum num-
Der of students allowed by the law
which requires an enrolment in this
department of not less than eight
and not more than twenty.

affected by weather and other condi-
tions during August.

MANY | | MAKE War
ON WILD GAME.
Large Number of Local Nimrods En-
gagged in the Battlee.

"A stranger coming in town on
Monday would undoubtedly have re-
ceived an impression akin to that Of
entering deserted village. Pro-
prietors and employees, professional
and working men had in large num-
bers left their duties either in the
dusk Of the previous evening or in
the early wakes of Monday morning
and were we not living in Uncle
Sans country it might have seemed
as tho condition Of war was exist
ent. Such was the state of affairs in
truth, for all leaving town were
heavily armed and. in the early
morning the sound Of the lombard
ment even reached the slumbering
town. The defensive parties how
ever, were none of the allied powers,
but the wild, defenseless chickens Of
the prairie which after having fed
upon the fat Of the land were now
doomed to huntsnan's bag and later
find their way to hungry stomachs.
Hunters went in all directions es-
pecially south and east, some to re-
main for several days, others for one
day only. In the evening came re-
ports. Many birds lost their lives in
that one day of hunting. The sport
was not as pleasant for some as
could have been the case, for the
birds seemed timid and were
wont to disappear into corn feMs,
and some claim a scarcity Of fowl
which is undoubtedly caused by the
heavy rains in early summer causing
the early Matching to be destroyed.
The second days hunt seems TO
have re ulted quite fortunately for
many, and reports of reaching the
limit each day seem quite general.

United States Department of Agri-
culture. look carefully to your diet
ing and exercise vigorously. If you
keep it up long enough, results may
follow. But, whatever happens, don't
waste your money on antifat "cures"
As a result Of its tests the depart
ment asserts that practically all
such preparations are absolutely
worthless. The claims on the pack
ages are so carefully worded that
prosecution Of the makers under the

publicity as a means of combating
these fakes.

POSTMASTER TULLAR IN
sTRUCTS ROAD OFFICIALS.

Rural mail carriers who carry mail
from the local postofice have COM
planned on the condition of some
roads over which they must travel
daily. Postmaster 1ul1af sends out
this week letter to the road offici
ais of Polk and Marshall counties
whose rural mail passes thru the
postoffice at Warren instructing
them to keep all roads over
which the rural mail carrier must
travel free from any obstruction.
The letter follows:
Warren, Mimi, Sept. s, 1914.
AS required by Sec. 756, Postal
laws and regulations, you are here
by notified that the Rural Mail Car
rier Routes over the Public Highway,
over which you exercise control, must
be kept free from all distractions. or
anything liable to cause delay in the
delivery of mail. such as tall weeds
growing along the side of the travel
ed road, broken culverts and bridges,
and scraper full dumps of earth in
a piled up and rough condition. The
drifting SHOWS of winter along
weedy Rural Routes, will seriously
affect the regular delivery of the
mails; and may cause its suspension
altogether.
Should the necessary repairs not
be made in a reasonable time, the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al will be notified.
Most respectfully submitted,
C. A. TULLAR,
Postmaster.

A Visit to The Hill Farm.

Last Friday the writer accompan-
led by Prof. o. E, Abrahamson and
DR.. j. S. Carlson to Hallock, the lat
ter being out on business for North
Star College. From Hallock an addi-
tional jaunt was made to Northcote
to the Hill farm which trip was well
worth the time spent. The scale on
which operations are carried on at
this place is truly immense. Inn
provements are being made regard
less of cost. The buildings from the
fine almost palatial residence, to the
barns and other outhouses are i'm
mense. The large barn all of con-
crete speaks the last word in modern
barn construction. It is light and san
itary and on an immense scale, hav-
ing room for 400 head of cattle and
all conveniences for feeding and wat
ering. Two silos of huge dimensions
are built into the barn. These are
said each to be 55 feet in height and
20 feet or more in diameter giving
them an immense capacity. Electri-
city for lighting and for power. is
furnished by private power plant.
Employees are exceedingly well
housed, about dozen new houses for
that purpose have been built of late
and these too have all, in a phrase
common to real estate agents, "mod-
ern conveniences." Interesting it
would have been to have extended
our sightseeing tour more minutely,
but due to a lack Of time we were
compelled to wend our way south
ward.

.FOOLIsH TRADING

As producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
civilization and we are present
day marvel IN business efficiency, but
in dealing with foreign countries we
are a sorry lot of traders, Ever since
VIM. Penn traded the Indians hand
full Of trinkets for what is now the
State of Pennsylvania, the American
people have been selling their birth
right to foreigners for mess of
pottage, so to speak.
We export over $50, 900, 900 of cat
tie and their products per annum,
which feeds the nations Of Europe,
and our American heiresses spend
similar sum in buying and maintain
ing counts, dukes and titled peerages.
These foreign noblemen are, as
rule. absolutely worthless in fact be-
come a perpetual liability for it
takes more money to operate and
keep them in repair than it does to
run our cotton mills. European
royalty puts the black sheep Of its
families on the block and our rich
American girls buy them and We
virtually exchange railroads, wheat
fields and millions Of dollars worth
Of products Of farm, mine and factory
for titled paupers who could not be
resold for any sum. It does not re-
quire foreign treaties, a fleet Of war
vessels or tariff revision to stop this
enormous loss. It needs only common
sense in the homes Of the rich.
We export $4,000, 900 Of lumber
and timber, and American tourists
spend q similar amount in motoring
over Europe and sightseeing in for
eign lands although the most en-
chanting scenes Of the world are on
the American continent.
