exponent of the new politics, Carl
Schurz Vrooman. He stands for the

assistant secretary of agriculture.
His doctrine of the new agriculture
is founded on a concrete foundation of
pure economics. He's a farmer-econo-
His four thousand acres of profit

behind the new agriculture: the flu

crops to sell at loss? This is the
basic idea which permeates the new
blood which Carl Schurz Vrooman is

WIRELESS OPENS WAY
Polar Sea Route Possible by Warming
of Icebergs.

London, Nov. 13.-Wireless tela-
graphy has opened a polar sea route
from central Russia to Great Britain
Wireless stations established by the
Russian government N the Arctic
keep the vessels advised as to the
channels freest from ice. Acting on
their information, two large vessels
chartered by a Siberian trading COM
pany have just arrived at Grimsby
with cargoes from the Yenesei and
Obi districts of central Siberia, valued
at S1,750,000.
The Obi and Yenesei are huge rivers
with a great depth of water, taking
steamers of any size. But it was not
until lately that their navigation was
put in practice.
Owing to the use of the trans
Siberian railway by the Russian gov
eminent for war supplies, there are
3,000,0 900 tons Of wheat held up in ST.
IBERIA, besides enormous quantities of
other produce. If this can be got out,
it will improve Russian exchange,
which is now a serious problem among
the allies.
Next year the company proposes to
take about thirty steamers over the
new White sea route, laden with ST.
berian products. Even IL the war ends
before this time, it is pointed out that
the Siberian railway will be more or
less tied up with back business and
the returning of troops.

MUST HAVE COLONIES
German Colonization Policy Depends
on Outcome of War.

Budapest, Hungary, Nov. 13.-''The
political and economic position OF
Germany makes a great overseas
colonial empire an absolute necessity,
declares Herr Solf, the German min
lister of colonies, in an interview with
the correspondent of Az Est. After
emphasizing the importance of the
present move in the Balkans from the
point of view of German colonial
policy, Herr Solf continues:
''It is necessary for us not only to
maintain our previous colonial pos
sessions, but even to increase them,
irrespective of the European issues
and of the settlement in Europe after
the war.
"Our only enemy from a colonial
point of view is England. How the
future Germany overseas will be built
up depends on the result Of our war
with England. At the very moment
when we restore communications
with the Straits and Constantinople
and drive the allied forces into the
sea in GallipoH, together with the
Italians and any others attaching
themselves to these, the events that
will follow will develop like those in
a we'll written play"

Manager R. S. Davidson, of the
Russell Miller Milling Co., returned
on Tuesday from a business trip to
Minneapolis. He saw 1900 carloads
of wheat from the northwest, includ-
ing cars from Beach, Golva, Mott and
other places in the southwestern part
of North Dakota, thrown onto the
market. There were all grades
Nos. 1, 2 and 3, no grade and "chick-
en- feed" was the label on one ship
ment. 1t is a hard season for the
buyer to handle the trade. The farm
er is not satisfied with the price he
is given and still the elevator man
stands a chance of being let down
on a grade and losing some of the
good money he has just paid out.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. J. Perdaems of
near South Heart, were down Tues
day to attend to some business mat
tiers and see a relative and friends
away. Miss Marie Luijkx, a sister
| of Mrs. Perdaems, who has been over
from Holland three years, was leav-
ing for her native land. A. G. Bogers
| also left on No. 2 and will accompany
the lady to Holland. Frank Simon of

at the Perdaems farm for a few
months, was in the party. They were
to visit together in Minneapolis, Chi
cago and New York, the Holland par
ties having their sailing date for No

Bogers will marry in Holland and
return with his bride to Stark county

expect to return to America so soon
