Some Timely Yuletide Season Advice
For Children and Others.
This is the beginning of the time be-
fore Christmas when every one II
thinking of holiday doings and Christ,
mas presents. This. too. is a time of
great excitement, when the grownups
get tired thinking OF what to give and
often tired Of shopping for others This
again is time when we children are
still at school and thinking sometimes
real Chrfstmasy thoughts.
What are Christmasy thoughts7
They should be thoughts Of what am
| going to do for poor little Johnny,
who is alone and poor? Whom can |
ask mother to have at our Christmas
dinner. who perhaps would have to
eat all alone were it not for mel
Whom can ! help deliver little gifts
on Christmas? And many more such
thoughts. But do we think those
things? Are we not much more likely
to be thinking of what we ourselves
are going to get?
So, children. If you really want to b
happy on Christmas think Christmasy
thoughts before Christmas and do
Christmasy things on Christmas. Re-
ceive gifts? Yes, But give gifts al
Weights OF cheer. unseIhshness and
Understand your Christmas will b

The Wheels of Justice Turn Slowly.
Ohio State Fire Marshal Deffen-
baugh is indignant over the slow oper-
alton of the wheels Of justice in many
arson cases in that state, and over
the fact that in many cases, after con-
viction, the culprits have been given
suspended sentences. Unless a good
stiff sentence is given a person con-
victed of incendiarism, it would be
better that no prosecution had been
made. The moral effect Of convic.
ton is what keeps the number Of
crimes down.-From the Western I'm.
derwriter.
Not long ago fire occurred in a
store building in Omaha. The fire was
extinguished in it's incipiency and the
body of one Bernstein was found IN
the debris. The Coroner's jury return.
ed verdict which stands on the rec
ords at Omaha that said Bernstein
came to his death by reason Of an ex-
plosion and fire while he was in the
store of Epiegle and Klein for incen-
diary purposes, at the instigation of
Alexander Spiegle, one Of the firm.
Now, bear in mind that with this
definite evidence before him, the pros
ecuting attorney made no move what
ever to punish Alexander Spiegle. He
was allowed to go scot-free. The in
surance company paid the loss and
taxed it up to the insuring public.
The courts in most cases reflect
public opinion with great accuracy

NEW BANK At NEW LONDON
A Farmers State Bank is Oroanized
With a Capital Of $4,000.

A Farmers State Bank is Organized
With a Capital Of $4,000.
A new bank to be known as the Far
mers' State Bank of New London will
in all probability be opened up for
business in the village shortly after
the first of the year. At present there
are forty shareholders who have sub
scribed $4,000 at which capitalization
the new institution will begin busi-
ness. This capital will quite likely be
increased after the project has been
fairly started, and more stock issued
for sale. The Erick Olson building
has been leased and will be remodeled
and fitted up for temporary quarters
until a modern building can be erect
ed. The parties interested have pur-
chased the J. O. Nyberg lot just north
of Monson Bros. & Holms hardware
store on which they intend to com.
mence building operations in the
spring. The institution will be con-
trolled entirely by local parties.
This afternoon a meeting of the
shareholders will be held when an or
ganization will be perfected, articles
of incorporation drawn up and board
of directors elected who will appoint
officers.-New London Times.

THE ALCOHOLIC milestone.

Inc democrats OF the nation nave
an issue to face and they may as well
prepare for it. The liquor interests
are at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which to fatten upon
the woes of their victims, but they are
fighting desperately and are willing to
hold any party between them and the
fire. The democratic party can not
afford to shield the brewery, the dis
tillery and the saloon from the rising
wrath Of a determined people. Dem
ocracy is the nations hope on polit-
ical and economic questions-let it
not, by taking sides with the liquor
interests, repel those who put moral
issues first. The young men Of the
country are democratic by nature, but
they will not submit their claims to
political preferment to those who con-
spire against the home and every
thing good-neither will they find pot
house politicians congenial party as
sociates. The president has set high
standard in intelligence and morals,
and the party can not afford to lower
the colors to gain temporary advan-
tage. Those whose support depends
upon subservience to the liquor inter
ests disgrace the party while they are
with it, and then leave it if it refuses
to obey them. They are milestone
about the party's neck. The demo
cratic party is the party Of the future
it has a chance to enter the Promis.

THE FIFTH Statement
Make State School Fund a Guarantee
Of Opportunity to Every Child
Says the Education Com.
mission
mission.

st. Paul, Dec. 7: One way and an
other the state spends between &c.,
100000 and 100000 year on edu'
cation. The people, through the
school districts, spend perhaps $12,.
100000 more. The total bill for pub.
lie schools and other public education
is close to S20,000,000 a year.
The state supports the university
and normals, and the schools for deaf
and blind, and contributes in three
ways to local school districts. The
f. is the income of trust funds
iounting now to $1,O0O,000 a year.
ne second is the proceeds Of the
mill state tax amounting to more than
$1,25O,O0O a year. The third is spec.
ial state aid amounting to 100000 a
year. to schools that furnish special
facilities or come above the minimum
requirements
The permanent school fund is now
approximately s25,0O0,O00. 1t comes
from the sale of state school lands
from the timber on school lands and
the royalty on iron ore on school
lands. 1t is estimated that it will
eventually reach $100,OOO,00O; it may
run anywhere from that to $200,000,'
600.
The constitution says this income
must be apportioned according to the
number of scholars. The legislature
has said that scholar is one who
has attended school at least forty
days, in a district that has kept school
open at least five months.
The education commission does not
propose to change the constitution.
Let the income Of the trust fund be
. distributed on per capita basis. The
commission would change the re-
Quiremert. It proposes that to quail
ify for apportionment, the pupil must
attend school one hundred days
twenty weeks instead Of eight.
The state believes in giving every
child a common school education. To
adopt the hundred-day rule would be
equivalent to saying that a child can
hardly get a common school educa
ton unless he attends twenty weeks
in a year. The state is not interested
in dabbling at an education.
Improve your schools, the state will
say to the districts, and you shall
have more from other funds. Keel
your school open five months at least
and for every child that puts in thai
much time in school you shall share
in this trust fund.

part of the fire tax payers in general,
the Fire Marshal finds it difficult to
gather sufficient evidence to even in
dict, to say nothing Of convicting the
arson suspect. Thus the crooked fire
gets across and fire insurance is on
the edge of becoming a commercial
sewer instead Of healthy avenue Of
benefit to humanity.

NOTES OF THE BENSON SHOW.

The Renville county team won the
corn husking contest. They husked
SO ears in one minute and eighteen
seconds. The contest was an exciting
one.
Only 387 Kandiyohians registered.
Had all from here done SO, it is safe
to say that our county would easily
have won out over Stevens which cap
tured the cup by a score of 1855.
sThe Synod church people served
meals, as did the other churches in
town. The ladies Of the above church
did themselves proud for the good
things on their table, we know from
personal experience. This denomina-
ton have a beautiful church edifice.
M. r. Simons of Willmar was the
official photographer of the EXPOSE
ton and took large number OF views
of the exhibits and crowds. Martin
is a hustler and lined up some good
pictures.
In the band contest the Glenwood
Band won the first prize and the Chip
pewa Valley Mounted Band second
The Wheaton Band was given spec
ial prize of 500 as the best marching
organization.

WILSON TAKES JONES
TO TASK FOR SPEECH
ON PANAMA QUESTION

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson took Sen. Jones 10 task
Thursday for the latter's address on
Panama canal tolls in the senate
Wednesday. When Senator Jones
called at the white house the presi-
dent inquired on what authority the
senator had made the statement that
the president delivered his message
to congress on canal tolls at the re-
quest of Sir Lionel Garden. the Brit
ish minister TO Mexico. who called on
him recently.
Senator Jones replied that he based
his statement on what he had read
in the newspapers. The president
then sharply said that the senator
was skating on pretty thin ice" He
said that as a matter Of fact he pre-
pared his Panama canal tolls address
cwo days before he saw Sir Lionel
Garden and that the matter was not
even touched upon in his interview
with the British minister. The presi-
dent also said that he found it would
be difficult TO get anything out of Sir
Lionel with a cOrkscrew.
The president himself related the
substance of his conversation with
Senator Jones.

THOUSAND WORKERS IN
POSTER PLANT FLEE AS
FIRE SWEEPS BUILDING

NEWARK, n. Y, March 19.-One
thousand employees of the Newark
Poster Advertising company and other
concerns in the vicinity Of Broad and
Market sts., fled in panic Thursday
when fire broke out in the Poster COM
pany's plant. Three alarms were
turned in within half an hour after the
flames were discovered and all street
car traffic was halted in the neighbor-
hood
Twenty-Five employees of the Poster
company, 19 men and six girls, were
rescued by firemen after they had been
trapped by the rapidly spreading
flames. The fire soon jumped to the
Santa Clara Cordial cOmpany's build
ing adjoining the poster plant in Treat
place. A stiff breeze famed the flames
and threatened TO carry them to the
new $23, 900 Kenney theater. The fire
