DEPARTMENT STORE AT
STEELE B~URGLARIzED

Steele, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE Wehlitz
department store was burglarlzed and
many articles of clothing, razors,
cigars, knives, r%evolvers, shoes and
other things are missing. Blood
hounds were secured and put on trail
but the snow made it impossible for
them to work. They trailed to a tele-
phone pole where a team had been
hitched and down al alley from there
but could not keep trace of the
thieves. One of the men evidently
cut a hand or arm in effecting an
entrance. The thieves are supposed to
have driven into town and out again
by team and may have come from
some other town or possibly reside In
the country.

Wants Lee to Stay Out.

Owatonna Tribune: Here's hoping
that Notwithstanding the efforts of his
william Il. Lee of Long Prairie
will display the good sense of staying
out of the race. Not that Lee isn't as
good as a man as Iverson or Eberhart
for in our opinion Lee has got it on
Sam while either of them would have
"the traveller backed off the boards as
a real executive with executive ability,
but Sam Iverson is already in the race

Poor Girls Best Students

The richer the girl the lower her av- craze educational rating is proved by facts and figures presented by the reg ister of the University of Wisconsin, says a Madison, Wis. special to the New Yorl. Sun.
 Records of the college show that the average grade of the young women work ing their way through the institution Is higher than that of girls of the leisure class, whose expenses are paid for them. These conclusions of the registrar are based on investigation disclosing the fol- lowing facts:
 There are at the university 75 young women who are entirely dependent on their own work for support while mak- ing their way through the course. This IS an incerase of 20 over last year. Out of these 75 there ara 51 definitely employed. Of this number "A gre working as dish washers and walters at the university commons; 10 are doing housework for their livelihood in private homes: nine are doing clerical work as stenographers or bookkeepers in offices; the remainder are performing such work as canvassing, tu- toring. reading. teaching and sewing. The average student girl worker puts il more than three hours day on work necessary for her livelihood. For this sh 3 is paid an average of 25 cents an hour either in actual cash or in board or room.

Farm Laborers Scarce

The Farmers league, whose annual convention in Berlin just closed, de- clares that the exodus from rural dis trict to city, has made it impossible for the landowners to find enough native farm laborers. They have to depend on the hordes of Russians, Poles and other foreigners who invade Germany each spring and return to their homes in the autumn, taking out of the country the savings of their six months work. The problem has recently become grave In view of the announced intention of the Russian government to forbid its sub jects from coming across the border. This would mean that the German farm CTS would have to look elsewhere for no less than 100000 laborers, at a time when army increases are about to take a further block of 1S0.000 ablebodied men away from productive pursuits.
 Prominent speakers of the Farmers league asserted that laws limiting the right of domiciliary choice of persons under IS years old should be enacted Ths would mean that the peasants, whose right to choose their own domt- cile and to move about freely was es- tablished by the imperial constitution more than 40 years ago, would return to serfdom. It was also proposed that even adult inhabitants of rural com munities should not be permitted to move to cities without first proving that they had secured home there. How such law could be enforced was not explained.
 The same conditions make for the drift to the cities in Germany that are observed elsewhere. These are pri-

 The cotton interests of Houston are usually alert in the matter of holding and extending the city's cotton busi ness, and we have no doubt the men who have builded Houston as a cotton market will see that the warehouse facilities of the city are equal to the best and sufficient to meet all demands.
 The movement inalgurated sometime ago to enlarge the eity's cotton hand ling facilities was not entirely sue cessful because of a lack of co-opera- ton and financial support.

Something Doing in New Orleans

New Orleans is taking an important step in preparing to improve the city's cotton handling facilities and one that will attract attention in the southern cotton belt. says the Houston Post. The plan is to erect m the river front six eight-story concro te cotton warehouses, each to have capacity of 54,O00 bales at one time. The systefn will have the capacity .t is estimated, to handle s. 000.0o0 bales of cotton during a season. For this purpose bonds in the sum of s5.oo0.c0O have been sold and all facilities for the economical handling of cotton will be provided.
 It is contemplated that with this sys- tenn completed. New Orleans will regain much of the cotton trade 1t has lost. especially much Texas cotton trade. Texas ports and in prior points will have to take note of this enterprise. We assume that Houston. Galveston and other ports are not prepared to surrender their cotton business to New Orleans, and that the proper steps will be promptly taken to provide all neces- sary facilities for the handling and of storage of cotton at the minimum cost.
 Within five or ten years we may ex-
 
 and Oklahoma to reach an aggregate of S,0OO.OO0 bales year, and ample modern facilities will be necessary to handle and store this vast production. The natural course of all this cotton is to be financed in a large measure by Houston and Galveston.
 The warehouse facilities of both Houston and Galveston are being im- proved considerably, but not to such an extent that the two cities hope to handle what the production of the two states will be within a few years. The surest way to prevent the diversion of this cotton to New Orleans would be to equal in all respects the warehouse ia . cilities that the Crescent City will pro- vide in its efforts to get Texas cotton. That a warehouse system on the ship channel front will be a necessary fea- ture of the dock and harbor improve ments we have in mind for the ship channel is beyond question.

Baronet Is Missing

England has lost a baronet. Sir Henry Burnaby, descendant of one of England S oldest families, is entered as missing in the new roll of baronets just prepared. Every other man who has the right to the ancient title was known to be alive. but no trace could be found of Sir Henry Burnaby of Broughton hall, Oxfordshire. The registrar of the roll of baronets ap- bends a note to his entry of Sir Henry in which he says, "No information can be obtained as to Sir Henry Burnaby. It is not known whether he is alive" Sir Herny is S5 years of age if still alive. He was formerly in the navy, and the last heard of him was in 1853 when he went to Spain and married He nevef claimed the baronetcy, which dates back to 1767.
 "Other baronets are missing" said the registrar, Out I know they are alive somewhere. Some of them get to remote corners of the world such as New Zea- land and California, and the tracing of them involves much labor''
 The compilation of the new roll of bar onets has been rendered necessary by the fact that number of persons have as- sumed titles either wrongfully or on a doubtful basis.

Prince John Is a Scapegrace

Prince John, the 9-year-old son of King George. jumped on bench in St. James park the other day and shouted at the top of his voice 'Notes for Women'' A crowd immediately gathered and it took an embarrassed nurse sometime to get her charge back to Buckingham palace.
 Prince John seems to enjoy life much as do other boys of his age. He has gathered, doubtless from his eldest brothers. who bring it from the public schools, university and navy, a lot of slang, and has mortified his mother by his very apt use of it. Recently while motoring with the Queen he was rebuked for his uses of slang and particularly for his use of the word kids as applied to children. At 1at he, thought the thing was overdone, and pointed out that all boys talked about kids and what else would fellow call them?" The Queen gave 1t up.
