Farm Work

There is a vast amount of fall
work to do on the farms of Hand
county, and the one element which
is scarce is men to do the work.
We could profitably use a few hun
dred of the idle men who persist in
staying in the cities and more thick
ly settled states east and south of US.
To properly gather crops, take care
of stock. ETC., in the next three
months each Hand county farmer
must do about two mems work.

WAR NEWS

The American public is growing
weary of the kind of war news hand
ed out by the censors of European
nations because the American peo-
ole are intelligent readers. They
are beginning to realize that a vast
amount of the stuff sent out from
several headquarters, was largely
imagination, hence it is but natural
that they are losing interest.
Az the beginning of the war Eng
land quickly got control of the world
cables, so that nearly all the news
from any country bad to pass
through London. The only news
allowed to pass through that city
for weeks was about the successes
of British, French, or Russian
troops.
Every point scored by the allies in
France was a great victory; every
retreat was merely for strategic
purposes. And what few points adj
mitted about German successes were
always of no real value" The
Germans have destroyed fortified
cities called ''impregnable," they
have and do now hold Belgium and
French territory in spite of the COM
bined armies of England, France,
Belgium, India troops. Canadian
troops, and even an army from
Russia's hordes taken into Frarce.
At the beginning of this mighty
war the well prepared German army
made a quick march to within twen-
ty miles of Paris. 1t now appears
that they moved too rapidly, and got
too far from their base of supplies
and their heavy artillery. AS soon
as this was discovered they had to
retreat Until they could again touch
and protect all their lines of ccm-
munication. Then the French and
British began to gleefuIly cry Its a
route, and the war will be over in
a week Or two"
Three weeks later the German
army holds its line In France, cap
lures Antwerp from the Belgians
and British, and drives 2O00 British
soldiers into neutral Holland, where
they had to lay down their arms and
stay out of the war.
But the most yellow news comes
from Russia. Weeks ago the Slavs
had killed or captured several mil
lion Austrians, and that unfortunate
country was Just about to sue for
peace! An other Russian army of
five or twenty millions, it is forgot
ten just which, would be in Berlin
in a week or ten days,
Nothing Of the kind has happen
ed. Weeks and months of terrific
warfare finds the nations still en-
gagged in a titanic struggle, and no
man can positively predict the end.
The American people are neutral,
but they are intelligent. If the
warning nations wont give US the
truth and all the facts, we must
form u own opinions from read
ing between the lines, and remem-
boring how today's news is corro-
borated or disproved in reports
about ten days or two weeks later,
when American correspondents send
us the real facts.

Mr.. J. M. SULLIVAN RETURNS.

The following is taken from The
Prescott Courier, of Prescott, Arizona
which will be read with great deal OF
interest to many people in Welsh.
Practically all the stock sold in the
Black Chief Copper Co., is held by peo-
pie of Welsh and this important strike
discovered by Mr.. Sullivan promises to
bring this mine into prominence.
The following article gives somewhat
! of an idea of the property and will be
read with interest
About a week ago we were shown
ore from the recent strike in the prep.
critics of the Black Chief Copper Com.
pany. The holdings of the company are
situated about IL miles northwest OF
Dewey and about 10 miles from the
Copper Chief mine, as the crow flies,
and are in the famous Black Hills cop
per belt. For the past six months the
company, under the management OF
j. M. Sullivan, has been developing the
ground with a small force OF men.
Prior to last April, work was resumed
upon the mines, the company had sunk
a number of shafts and had also driven
a tunnel about three hundred feet upon
and under a big deposit Of mineral,
most of which at the surface is iron
goSSan, alongside Of which runs a hard
dyke earring iron, the whole being in a
feltsit formation. The surface outcrop
shows goSSan for a width of fully
200 feet, and the tunnel as we'll as the
several superficial shafts shows the
carbonate ores of copper. In the tun'
mel copper ore was found after the iron
dyke had been croSS.Cut. More recent
ly shaft has been sunk to depth Of
100 feet. at which depth the ore was
found to run 10 per cent in copper,
about $500 in gold with little silver.
At this depth the miners have recently
been running a cross.cut from the Shaft
at a depth of some go feet below the
tunnel level, and within the past two
weeks the results Of this work have
proven most flattering. At the time
] when Mr.. Sullivan left the mine, about
; a week ago, the drift had extended un
til it showed 10 feet of chalcopYrite
I besides very rich streak OF red oxide
] of copper carrying native copper in con
] siderable quantity. This oxidizet
streak is about three feet in width
while the width ,of the main body OF
j ere will not be determined until the
! east drift and a corresponding drift Il
the west have completed to the walls
which are about 200 feet apart. 1t il
! believed by Mr.. Sullivan that he has

j grade of the ore is exceptionally higi

SEE HERE, BOY!

Say, boy, it doesn't pay TO get
| funny. Listen TO the story. The man
who trades all over town and who
pays cash for what he gets dropped
into the store the other day The
bright boy came forward to wait on
him. DO you keep canned pinapple?"
inquired the prospective purchaser.
NO replies the bright boy, I'VE sell
it. ;" Not always" rejoined the GUS
toner, you are going to keep the
dozen cans / came in to buy" And
that's the end of that story.
This funny business" is expensive.
1t doesn't get us anything. Sometimes
fellows that are extremely we'll ac-
quainted can get away with it. But
the man who has money in his hand
that he wants to spend is a pretty ar
rogant individual. He knows that it
is worth something and he demands
more or less respect for himself and
his trade. 1t doesn't pay to get fun
ny in the face of money in hand.
1t doesn't pay anyway. Saying
sharp things is like playing with
sharp tools. You never know when
you will cut yourself or smebody else
with them. If the fellow who says
LICHl 10 q iilISHlS SOOu lSllON anu Iu6
person to whom they are said knows
that it is in all friendliness and good
will it goes. But the habit is one of
the worst for a young fellow to culti-
vate. 1t never makes a friend and
loses many
Don't get funny" The funny
man. is the one we look up after bus
mess hours. He amuses us some
times. But nobody ever hunted one
OF those funny folks" for a serious
job. On the contrary, many a most
efficient man has seen a good job go
to poorer applicant because the 9TH
err fellow knew enough to keep his
mouth shut and keep wise. Indeed
Lord Wharton held onto an English
premiership for years merely by
keeping silent and giving the impress
sion that he was thinking a lot when
in fact he had nothing to think with.
Boy, keep away from it, 1t grows
like the tobacco habit and is almost
as big handicap as cigarettes. Don't
get funny" Half the people laugh
at the funny" person and the other
half want to kill him and none of
them place him high. Forget the
funny business. Have a good time
when you can, but never, never get
funny" It's liability, not an as
set.

Rev. Willett Delivers Interesting Adj

Olaf Quintet Coming
Jan 10Th.

Monday afternoon Rev. Willett
delivered before the amphictyonic
society at Luther College an interest
ing lecture. The title of his subject
was The Two Ends of the Tele-
scope" The lecture was very inter-
esting and held sway with his bril-
liant eloquence for an hour. His sub
ject which was handled very skillful-
ly, was applied to the everyday life
of the young man. His broad and
conservative views were appreciated
by all his hearers, and Amphictyonic
was very thankful for the interesting
lecture.
Monday, Jan. 10Th, the st. Olaf
basket ball team journeys to Decor
all Reports are that a very strong
aggregation represent that institu-
ton. Four of last years regular
players are back which gives plenty
of material to choose from. They
have worked hard and expect to win.
st. Olaf has played one big game of
basket ball this season. That was
with Minnesota University. The
Minnesota Daily says: The Mime
sofa team is in prime condition and
the close score indicates the strength
of the ST. Olaf team Coach Ander-
son, the st. Olaf athletic director, al
ways puts forth a good team by mid
season and he has set his heart on
defeating Luther.
Two victories have shown the cali
bre of the Luther five. The whole
squad has the fighting spirit and will
go into the coming struggle with a
vim that has never been equalled.
Loftnes the pivot of the Luther scor-
| ing machine is back in the game
The best game of the season is assur-
ed the people of DEBORAH.
The old time rivals are in for the
lonly honors of the season as the two
colleges will not compete against
each other in base ball this season.
