RAPSCARNEG|E'S s
PEACE PLANS
JEAN FINOT, DIPLOMAT AND PHI.
LOSOPHER SAYS, THE IRONMAS-
TER HAS BEEN HYPNOTIZED BY
THE KAISER.

Paris, June 24.-Jean Finot, French
diplomat and philosopher in the cur.
rent issue OF La Revue, attacks An.
drew Carnegie's plans and theories
for peace in Europe. He says in part:
"Of Andrew Carnegie, European
statesmen are now saying that after
spending millions OF dollars in what
he supposed was the cause of peace,
he is now preparing to lavish further
millions to help the Kaiser into a
peace with his enemies that will leave
Europe under a heavier shadow OF
war than ever darkened it prior to
August last
Mr. Carnegie built his Peace Pal
ace at The Hague and diplomats al
ways used it for their wrangings. 1t
was never more than a palace Of dis
cord 1t is one OF life's bitterest
lronies that peace began to reign
there only when the great European
war broke out,
so much, in brief, for the steel
kings peace efforts in the past,
At the present moment he is work
ing strongly in the kaiser's interests
to bring about an early peace that at
this stage could only be favorable to
Germany. And, rightly or wrongly,
Europe is accusing Mr.. Carnegie of
backing this dangerous movement with
the result that if he does not proceed
carefully, Europe will summarily con
denim him as one of the enemies of the
civilized world.
Loves Power Of Millions"
"He is quite at liberty to do next
to nothing for Belgium or Serbia or
Poland, countries invaded ravaged
and ruined; he has perfect right to
show Indifference for the triumph OF
the allies But he is absolutely wrong
to work for the benefit of the Ger
mans, their kaiser and his army.
THE Carnegie peace would be a
German peace; it would enable the |
kaiser and his people tor dodge the
of their criminal game.
\ precipitate peace might very well |
enable the empire to make good its
osses and prepare for a second war
lnder more favorable conditions
ew years hence. Next time, perhaps,
he cause of humanity would not be
supported by so many great and pow
'riul nations.
For considerations such as these
'arnegie cares nothing. Business men
,ig and little, also would like an early
,eace, but the great human principle
or which we are fighting is dead
gainst them.
Worship Of Golden Calf"
Andrew Carngie never tires of
alking about meeting with the kaiser,
,ho has always been very kind to the
wealthy men. Worship of the golden
alf is one of the worst traits of the
aiser's character. Ballan, Rathenau,
and many other wealthy
ermans have shared Wilhelm's friend
hip with Carnegie and several Eng
shmen and Frenchmen.
That is why Carnegie respectfully ,
Xpresses the opinion it is the kaiser
,ho will restore peace in a terribly
ivided and bloody world"

SPARK STARTS GRAIN FIRE

The threshing rig of Louis Larson
caught fire II o'clock Monday morn
ing when the crew was just finishing
the threshing on Harry Hooper's
Spring Park Stock farm and destroy
ed about 20 tons of hay and the entire
stack of straw as well as doingslight
damage to the threshing rig. Forum
ately the wind was in the right direc-
ton to keep the flames away from the
barns, which were only short dis
lance away. Horry's loss will amount
to somewhere in the neighborhood of
$3.50, while Mr.. Larson's will not reach
as, high figure. The cause of the
blaze seemed to be sparks from the
engine which ignited the straw pile
near the top. Harry had just come
to Sank Centre shortly before to-do
some work connected with the live
stock exhibit at the Stearns County
Fair, of which department he is sup
erintendent, and stated that at the
time he left there were about ten loads
of grain to be threshed and that the
fire started shortly after he had start
ed for town. He carried no insurance
on his crop.

The post office at this place was en-
tered by robbers last Sunday night.

PUBLISH CREDIT RATING GUIDE
Issue for Stearns and Todd Counties
Soon to be Published by Mercan-
tile Company.

The Merchants Mercantile Company
is preparing to publish an issue OF
The Credit Rating Guide for this dis
trict. These Guides are made up In
districts covering the entire state.
They are made from the combined
experiences of all business and pro-
fessional men who extend credit and
each rates his own customer, client
or patient according to how they have
paid him. Before being rated they
are given notice by letter that they
will be rated and given an opportun-
ity to settle their "past due" accounts
and thus secure better rating. By
this system the merchants of this
county will be put in direct touch
with credit conditions all over the
United States. When anyone moves
here from any other part of the coun-
try, the merchants are at once mott
fed through the company how the
party paid his bills where he came
from.
Each subscriber is furnished with a
copy of the Guide that he may refer
to it and look up the rating of any
customer or prospective customer be
fore extending credit.

TYPES OF CORN FOR MINNESOTA

Seasons like the last show conclu-
sively the kinds of corn that should be
grown in Minnesota, and these are
corns that give ears not too large and
that mature early. 1t was because
these were the kinds grown that Min
nesota for the most part got any crop
at all this year. Had larger varieties
of later maturity, been grown, almost
none would have been far enough
along for harvesting except as bundle
corn or ensilage.
Reports show that Minnesota Nos.
13 and % are best adapted to Mime
sofa conditions.
In selecting dent seed corn for next
year, therefore, it is well to keep this
in mind, also the following:
Size of ear for southern Minnesota
should be: length 81 inches; circum-
ference, 51R inches, when dry.
Tips and butts should be well filled.
Furows between the rows of kernels
should be clearly marked but not wide.
No space should show between the
kernels at the cob.
Kernels must not be too deep, but
wedged-shaped, about half again as
broad at the top as at the bottom, and
uniform in size.

squeaky Shoes.

The squeak" In shoes is caused by
the inside and outside soles rubbing to-
gether in walking. To overcome this
disagreeahle trouble make an opening
at the edge of the inside of the shank
OF the shoe and work a screwdriver
between the soles to the tips, thereby
loosening the inner and outer soles.
Then work In little French chalk.
soapstone or talcum powder through
the opening. BY bending the soles
back and forth or slightly tapping the
edges the powder will work itself be
tween them. The opening can then be
closed with one or two tacks. and the
squeahing will be permanently stop
ped. Such an emergency repair is very
much better than the soaking and oil
ing frequently resorted to and yet does
no harm to the shoes provided the job
is done by a competent shoe repairer.-

"Lone!y" and "Lonesome.s

Here's the distinction between the
words lonely and lonesome, although
often they are used in the same sense.
Lonely" means to be deprived of hu-
man society and companionship, while
lonesome" Is the detection and sad
ness due from lack of society. The one
is state of being, the other a state of
mind
TO be lonely is entirely physical,
while lonesome is exclusively mental
and may be the result of actual lone
illness or may merely be an imaginary
lonesomeness caused by mental depres-
sion.
The difference between the words Is
better illustrated In the following: A
man is sitting in the library of his
home. both lonely and lonesome. The
telephone rings. Friends invite him to
join merry party then in progress O
few miles away. In order to reach this
party he must mount his horse and
traverse a lonely and dangerous road
In this journey he Is lonely, for the
road is lonely. but he is not the least
bit lonesome. for his thoughts are pleas
ant in anticipation of the enjoyable
evening he is about to spend with gay
comrades.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

LOCAL AUTHOR GAINING FAME
Harper Bros. Have Just Published An
other Successful Book Written
by Sinclair Harry Lewis.

Sinclair Harry Lewis, son of DIR.
E. ]. Lewis, of this city, has just pub
lished new book, 'The Trail of the
Hawk" When we state that it is pub
lished by Harper Bros, the oldest and
most conservative American publish
ers, that in itself is a guarantee of its
excellency. 1t has been received most
favorably by the leading literary crit
les of the country.
The Philadelphia Press says: cit is
story to whet and revive the most
jaded consumer of fiction; story that
throbs with the high spirit of adven-
ture, questioning, healthy, romantic,
optimistic, relisent youth" Further
on the Press says: "The story is
crowded with incident, the characters
are drawn with such fine sympathy
and genial humor that they live long
in the momory.'
The New York Evening World in
speaking of Mr.. Lewis, says "He is the
foremost member of the younger
group of American novelists."
Possibly we are in the situation of
the old negro who declared that "too
much breeder breeds contempt" Har-
ry used to write for US years ago
when we ran the Herald, and we con-
fess to a feeling of disappointment
when we read his books and stories.
They are good, interesting and viva
cious, but it seems to US that they
l,ol, tho fipic HIM ont and much that
one has a right to expect from a tenn
permanent red-hed like Sinclair. We
cannot help but think that he is as
yet just Hopping around the home
nest and fears to test flight in the
empyrean blue.
The great heart-throbbing novel of
the Central West remains to be writ
ten; we are depending upon Sinclair
to write TT. M. E.
