steam shovel has been at work for some
time. Two gravel trains transport the
ground ts the scene Of the construction

Although the track has been safe

to the conclusion that the track between
Cambria and New Ulrn needs consider

the soggy condition of the ground.

LARGER p. o. DEPos is.
Under New. Law Recently Passed
j5 Deposits Up to 81 1000 May Be-. !.
Made. y. jas,

Under new law recently passed by
Congress and signed by the President
larger postal savings deposits will now
be accepted at the postoffice than here
tofore A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
81 900 upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum amount
he could have to his credit.
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying to thous-
ands of depositors who have already
reached the old $500 limit and are
anxious to entrust more of their savings
to Uncle Sam. Another feature of the
amendment will avoid embarrassment
to the public and to postal officials is the
doing away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from depositor
monthly.
Under the old law only $100 could be
deposited in calendar month. The
amendment abolishes this restriction
While the Postal Savings System has
already proved signal success as is
shown by the fact that more than hafl-a-
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their credit,
still it has fallen short Of meeting the
full demands of the public because Of the
restrictions which have now been elirni-
mated.

AS usual, the youngsters made them
selves very numerous at the University
Week meetings. Monday afternoon
the talk on Mexico was Interrupted for
some minutes by the entry of score Of
school children of an age that would alb
zolutely prevent their having any interest
in the subject. Every year it is the same.
Curiosity takes them to the meetings
and talks which they can not understand
produce restlessness for which they
are in no wise to blame, but some
one is certainly to blame for letting them
into the hall in the midst of talk in
which they can have no interest. Every
adult who had any interest in Prof
Fletchers' talk was annoyed by the noise
and wondered why people would let
their youngsters make such nuisances

THIEF LEFT STOLEN RIG
Horse Hired From Mankato Livery
Brought to New Ulm and
Abandoned.

Officials of Blue Earth county are on
the trail of a horse thief who visited
Mankato two weeks ago and got away
with a rig from one of the livery barns
of that city under the pretense of want.
ing, to see the sights of the city for few
hours. When the horse and buggy were
still missing from the barn in the even.
ing, the sheriff was appealed to and ir
telephoning to the surrounding country
found out that a stranger had Offered
to sell a horse and buggy of the de.
scription given by the liveryman at
Judson.
The thief must have had wind of the
pursuit as he drove through Lake
Crystal towards the Iowa line and led
the officers to believe that he was headed
south. He doubled on his tracks some
where, however, and Monday evening
of last week drove into New Ulm,
putting up his rig at the Graft livery
barn. Neither the officers nor Mr.. Graf
had notice of a stolen horse, consequently
nothing was thought of the matter at
the time.
Thursday Mr.. Graft received a tele-
phone message from the Mankato livery
man, asking that he be on the lookout
for the stolen animal. He was promptly
informed that it was right at the barn.
Search was at once instituted for the
man who had left the rig at the local
barn, but no trace of him could be
found. According to Mr.. Graft there
were two men in the rig when it was left
at his place of business, but one of them
seemed to be passenger as only one of
them did the talking. The latter is
described as being about rs years ole,
Ave feet eight inches tall, with blue eyes
and light hair and light complexion.
He wore gray suit Of clothes and q
light hat. He gave his name as Walter
Peterson.

Llnc0ln's Sacred Trust
To The Nation

with malice toward none; with
charity for all; with frmness in the
right, as God gives us to see the right
let us strive on to finish the work we are
in; to bind up the nations wounds; to
care for him who shall have borne the
battle, and for his widow and his orphan;
to do all which may achieve and cherish
a just and lasting peace among ourselves,
and with all nations"
With the above words Abraham LIN
coin during his second inaugural address
at Washington on March 4, 1865, Placed
in the hands Of the people of this nation
a sacred trust, urged the then generation
to lay the foundation for government
from whose fertile fields coming genera
tons should reap the benefits acquired
for them at the price of human blood,
spilled by those patriots who answered
the call of their country to defend it
from being torn asunder and destroyed;
he gave unto the people of this nation a
trust to fulfill, in that we shall ''care
for him who shall have borne the battle";
he gave with these words trust and
heritage at once. A trust to carry out
and heritage to hold forever sacred.
Although Lincoln's lips were sealed in
death within hardly a month after
the memorable utterance, the people of
today, more than half a century later,
hold sacred his trust and the veterans
of the Civil war are held in that reverence
so urgently asked OF US by the martyr
president. The pages of history record
their deeds of heroism and the shifting
sands Of time have eradicated from our
memory the hatred for their Southern |
fOe
But Lincoln's admonition has more
far-reaching significance, recalled forcibly
to our memory on Memorial Day when
the veterans passed in review on their
way out to the city of the dead, to place
garlands Of flowers upon the last resting
places of their comrades of yore.- Of
thousands upon thousands have answered
the final roll call and but mere handful
remains to assume the arduous duties
preparatory to Memorial Day. The
day is held sacred to the memory of the
dead and in order that it may be per-
petuated the men and women of today
must assume the responsibilities so long
willingly borne by the members of the
G.. A. r. The time has come when a
civic organization of national scope
must be formed to assume this re-
sponsibility. Let us not shrink from it.
The veterans pride will never permit
them to ask for help, but we must offer
it to them.

value ola policy in the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company.
Both great leaders turned to
the teHartford" for insurance
before the beginning of the Civil
War, General Lee taking out
Hartford policy on "Arling-
ton," in Virginia, while Pres
ident Lincoln insured his home

A pIea For Indoors.

We have run the nature fad, % We
have 80 many others, literally into the
ground. We are fond Of Gods ont Of
doors. We love the fields and woods
and streams, too, but 80 much Of this
have we heard that we are tempted to
make a strenuous plea for indoors,
ood old indoors-the indoors that is
slowly going out Of fashion. Let us
pause for q moment In our considera-
ton Of nature and our enthusiasm for
all her varied and wonderful exhibi-
lions Of life and make clear to our
selves just what indoors stands for.
In the first place, It stands for home.
A wigwam by the riverside Is not q
home; a tent on the lawn or In the
canyon Is not q home; a portable shack
or hut or cave Is not what represents
home to MS or to the world at large.
Indoors Is identical with the house.
and q house is mans castle be It
small or mean or large and palatial.
All out of doors cannot kindle the emo
lions of Joy, love and reverence which
that magical word home" awakens.
Indoors stands for sanctuary, for pri-
vacy. We can fee indoors when We
want to shut out the world and to find
peace.-Margaret Woodward In Com-
tryside Magazine.

Iha Oldsst Epitaph.

The Oldest epitaph in English, which
Is found in a churchyard in Oxford
shire and dates from the year 1870, to
modern readers would be unintelligible
not only from Its antique Typography,
but from its obsolete language, the first
two lines of which run as follows and
may be taken as a sample Of the
whole:
"Man com & Sc how schal allie dede
be; wen VOW comes bad & bare; notn
have ven We away fare; all ye werines
vt We for care"
The modern reading would be: MAN,
come and see how shall all dead be
when you come poor and bare; nothing
have when we away fare. All Is weari-
ness that We for care."-London Spec
tatOr.

Strictly Official.

This amusing anecdote Is told in the
volume Of "Recollections" recently pub
lished by the Hon. John Mildred Greed,
member of the legislative council OF
New South Wales and a well known
Sydney doctor. On one occasion Mr..
Greed had to carry on the work OF a
magistrate for six months. During
this time q great food occurred, and
the lookup was surrounded by water,
strong current passing through the
cells. The sergeant in charge was 50
strictly official that he would take no
action on his own responsibility. BE
therefore telegraphed to his superior
officer: "Flood three feet deep sur.
rounding and running through lookup.
Have four prisoners on tables In their
cells. Water riS4g. Shall take them
out or let them drown?" He at once
received the necessary authority, acted
ON it promptly, and the prisoners were
saved.

of the older forest plantations of the

There was as much individual interest
In reforestation between the years 1920

end of that period Massachusetts, alone
possessed white pine plantations to the
extent of 10000 acres. interest declined
owing to the extensive shipments of
