NEW ILLUSTRATED FEATURE
Herald Will Run Cartoons of Num-
Der of Sank Centres business
Men, Starting This Week.

About two weeks ago the Herald
publisher entered into a arrangement
with H. Hume, a well known and high
grade cartoonist, to publish cartoons
of a number of the representative
business men of Sank Centre. One of
these cartoons will be published each
week and the Herald is convinced that
the feature will appeal to the people
of this community. Large metropol-
itan publications make a strong fea-
ture of these cartoons and there isn't
any reason why the series shouldn't
prove popular in the Herald.
AS will be readily recognized the
subject this week is James A. Caugh-
rem, capitalist and well known citizen.
Because of Mr.. Caughren's promi-
hence in the community, it is quite
fitting, the Herald thought, to start
the series with his likeness Artist
Hume has endeavored to portray the
life of his subjects in a series of small
Ter pictures and it will be admitted
that he has succeeded admirably in
the case of Mr.. Caughren.
The victims do not know just when
their portraits will appear and they
will not know until they see them in
the Herald.

$7,007 instead of $2,7OO was discov-
ed yesterday when Minneapolis pri-
vate detectives with officers of Pope
county counted the treasure which
was found in an old shoe box the day
after the triple murder was discover
ed. There was $2,764 in currency,
81 200 in bankable notes $4,000 in GER
tificates of deposit and the remainder
in checks.
Solving the triple murder mystery
is no nearer than last week, accord
ing to Sheriff Gilbertson.
~ Old and furnished silver coins, gold,
and paper money, held in rolls by pins
TIT had rusted with age, were found
when Coroner Berry and Judge Ron
ming of probate court, opened the shoe
box.
Eleven hundred dollars was done up
in packages of 500 each-fve $40
bills pinned and rolled in paper. The
pins were so rusted that the money
was torn when they were removed.
The officers are in doubt as to the
amount of money obtained by the
murderer. 1t is believed that each
brother had his savings box, and il
that was true, it follows on the knowl-
edge that the brothers divided equal
ly of all earnings that $4,000 or more
was probably obtained in the loot
Practically all of the certificates OF
deposit found in the box were in fav-
or of Johannes Mitmoen. This is taken
to mean that the savings of AmunC
and Sven, the other brothers, were
carried away.

SUBMARINE DIVING PERILoUs
Centre That 1t Will be ImpOssi-
BILE to Raise the F-4

Joe Kusba received a letter the first
of this week from his brother, Char
les Kusba, who is now reporter on
one of the newspapers at Honolulu,
Hawaii In this letter Mr.. Kusba en-
closed photographs of several of the
scenes attendant upon the raising of
the American submarine F-4. Mr..
Kusba states that the submarine lies
400 feet below the surface and that
two large pontoons have been anchor
ed directly above it and the hoists
will be mounted on these pontons.
-Four professionalEnee sea divers
from New York city have been on the
job for sdsysx tire but the sea has
been so rough that it was almost inn
possible for the divers to work be-
cause of the cables and air tubes be-
coming entangled. One of the divers
"lines" became so entangled that he
was unable to free himself and was
under water four hours before his
companions came to his aid and got
him to the surface. He was rushed
to the mainland at once but was suf-
fering from what is known as burned
lungs" caused by the prolonged pres
sure of the water at that depth, and
according to physicians, he has only
about six months to live. Neverthe-
less the other divers descend when
ever the water is calm enough to per-
nit and keep right at work. Mr..
Kusba has been in Honolulu about a
year now, going there from SanDiego,
where he had been four or five years
previous, and in his communica-
ton to his brother says that he be-
lieves it will be impossible to raise
the F-4. s-

The chances that Governor Hammond
will replace any of them is decidedly
remote.
When man gets his picture

In Fairness TO Simon.

Matchmaking sharpshooters on the political
firing line are expected to use any missile within
reach, but in all fairness to former Representa-
tive Edward Simon, the public is entitled TO
know that the assault to discredit his sponsor
ship OF the mothers pension law is Oontradicted
by the official record.
While no member OF the legislature OF two
years ago had any monopoly on the introduction
of mothers pension measures any more than on
any other subject. Mr.. simon's BILL House Roll

stance the one to be enacted Everyone famii-
lar with legislative procedure knows that where

the additional features OF the bills introduced by
Representatives Simon and Jeary, and by an ex-
traordinary action recognition was given to the
two mothers pension champions in the house by
specifically adding their names as joint intro
ducers.
The record is found on page 7s7 Of the
House Journal for 1913 in the report OF the
committee OF the whole, which was unanimously
adopted, and reads In part as follows:

Questionable Use Of our FLAG.

TO add TO the completely Of the war problem. 90

mede by the hospital service TO have smbuiances
that approach near 10 the firing line carry the
stars and Stripes as well as the Red Cross en-
blem. Il Is not novel experience for Old Glory
Ia be under fire while an errsnd Of mercy.
but how will this practice affect the matter OF
neutrality? Is Il not likely that the practice Of
seeking protection under the American flag, fret
resorted to by British sea captain. may spread
until we see a large part OF the war operations
carried under the banner of the United
States? There are other neutral countries--
why use only our flag?
The hospital work as we'll as the general sc-
tivities Of the Red Cross, is humane. and neces-
sary. and neutral, but the presence OF the flag
Of a neutral nation on the firing line Will not
materially contribute to the settlement OF the
dispute between the belligerents. and may pro-
duce unpleasant complications. II is a auestiona-

THE LITTLE WORN SHOES.

They tramp DER the hills ana the mead

And mud is their chief delight
They were trim and shining this inorning'
Now they arc a woetul sight
They are scuffed and muddy and dingy;
Their tongues hang painting Tor breath
For the little feet that wear them
Have run them almost to death
And while they are busy destroyins'
I'm busy finding a way
To buy new shoes on the morrow,
To replace the ones of today.
For new shoes. priced as treasure
Today; tomorrow are old.
But at sight Of innocent faces, b
have not the. heart TO scold.
Though each year they're bit larger.
And cost just trifle more;
And each year they wear a bit faster
Than they did the year BEFORE
For the little feet in the future

And soberiy walk in the highways
With no longing or wish to stray.
SO 1 turn to my work with new purpose,
And new courage for the fight;
And through binding tears. as 1 view

Those shoes are beautiful sight
Then gather them up with rapture,
And thank the Lord with a will,
For the rough little shoes. worn and
