TOO MANY BLIND TIGERS
AND FIRES SAYS FINAL
REPORT OF GRAND JURY

After making a final presentment
to Circuit Judge Campbell late Tues
day afternoon, the grand jury for the
fall term of the court was discharged
without bringing further indictments.
The entire message to the court
was occupied with comments on
various phases of the county's bus
mess, and particularly the admins
trative department of the govern
ment.
Calls Attention to Blind Tigers
A large part of the presentment
was devoted to the illicit sale of
liquor in the county, and to the great
number of incendiary fires which
have taken place. No definite
action was taken in either matter
other than to request the court to
file copies of the presentment with
the officials under whose jurisdiction
the crimes were committed. The in
creasing incendiarism was stressed at
length, and the officials urged to
curb it.
Investigate County Institutions
Much of the presentment was taken
up with a report on the county court
house, the county farm, and the coun-
ty Jail. All of the buildings were
visited by the jury, and the recon-
mendations were confined to minor
repairs which were suggested.
A plan was submitted for the clos
er supervision on the commissary de-
partment of the county convict camps
which it is stated should be closely
watched, and constant check placed
on the expenditures of the camps.
The present plan of the county feed
ing the prisoners was placed into eff
feet a short while ago, and was done
to save the county more than twenty
cents day on the upkeep of the
camps.
Formerly a contract was let fol
the feeding of the prisoners and the
county paid forty cents day. The
new plan provides for the direct or
dering by the county of the food need
ed, and supplied directly to the
camps.

heavy winds that may attain a We

London, Oct. 17.-Large consiqn-

States for Dutch and Scandinavian
ports are being held here on the gov
ernment.s claim that shipments fail
to comply with the recent arrange
ment under which cargoes paid for
before August and shipped prior to

before August 4.
Washington, Oct. 17.-Much of the

tanned in Danish ports and aboard
British ships, which was shipped with
the American understanding that the
reference to the sale by August 4.
applied to the sale in the United
States and not to the final transaction

British order is modified.

they hoped it would clear it up.

WHAT DOES U. S.
THINK OF U-53?
BRITAIN is ASKING
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Oct. 1.-THE British gov
eminent will not make any official
representation to the United States
concerning German submarine U-53,
pending announcement of its attitude
by American government, said Wis
count Grey, secretary of state for for
eign affairs, in the house of lords to-
day.
The question regarding German
submarine raids off the American
coast was asked by Lord Beresford,
former commander of the British
home fleet. Viscount Grey outlined
the conversations between Great Brit
ain and the United States in which the
United States had protested against
British ships patrolling close to the
American coasts, saying it was I'M
friendly. Grey said a British vessel
had been ordered to give Americans
no annoyance although no question of
international law was involved. He
said the British must wait I'M
til it was determined whether Ameri-
can destroyers actually got out of
the way of the U-53 to give her room
to sink British ships and whether the
U-53 obtained illegal information
about British shipping while at New
port.
Washington, Oct. 17.-There has
been no indication that the United
States would make any declaration
of policy regarding the U-53's visit
unless there IS evidence that interna-
tional law was violated. The raid is
EsesFAd as~-zp selatesl case and. l. IN
no wise rsopening Of submarine
controversy. The investigation, how
ever, is not completed. Surprise is
occasioned over Grey's suggestion
that the submarine may have taken
illegal information aboard at New
port.

EASY TO TELL AUTHORS SEX
Material Difference, 1t Seems, In the
Way In Which Men and Women
Write Stories.

Why is it that you can always tell
a story written by a man from one
written by woman? [ saw the thing
put to a rather severe test within the
last month, says writer in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
Ten men and women, all of whom
do considerable novel reading, had
had dinner together, One of the men
asked the question l put at the top
of these paragraphs. He was in his
own home, and went to some trouble
to prove that the sex of authors is
an easy thing to determine.
Giving to each of the nine others
a pencil and piece of paper, the host
proceeded to read extracts from 20
different books and magazines-se-
Letting parts in which proper names
would not identify the story. AS he
read each person wrote down his
guess as to whether the author was
a man or a woman.
Of the 1870 answers made by the
nine persons to the twenty tests all
but eight were correct. AS he kept
the books from which he read con-
cealed, it was impossible to get aid
with the eye.
But, although everybody guessed
right almost every time, no one could
still give a good definition of the
conundrum: Why does a woman
write differently from man?

VANITY IN THE MALE SEX
Man VIII Talk Of Trait as Generosity,
but That 10 Not the Proper
Appellatlon.

Far from being extravagant, wom-
an is economical in her home and
outside it. Not so man. He will
"tip" generously and iniudiciously
to have the qualification Of knowing
that for the space Of five seconds he
is regarded as rich man. This is
not generosity, but the form that
vanity takes in the male. This same
vanity will lead man into the pur-
chase Of motor car in which he ex-
cites the envy of his neighbors, but
he will swear at woman's extrava-
gance when he is asked to give
check for his wife's very moderate
dress account. Half the married
men cling to the fetish that it is
economy for a woman to make her
own gown.
Talking of marriage, the other day
a relative of my own announced that
he should not think of it "unless it
ran to a car" He is a charming
fellow, very popular in his circle. 1,
his relative, know that he stands on
the verge of forty and that whole
generation of girls have walked
through his heart, leaving it none
the worse for wear. Not one of these
charming creatures has succeeded in
inspiring him with the desire to pay
for her board and lodging. It will
not run to it."-New York Tele-

CASH IN ADVANCE
Profit and Number Of Acres

| The size OF business often has much
TO do toward making tho farm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
| or too large for the most successful
farming. There may bc too few as
we'll as too many acres. A man may
not have enough land or he may be
land poor" thereby rendering all his
acres Improbable.
About 30 years ago Wisconsin far.
mor with large family was deeply
In debt. His farm consisted OF 100
acres. half OF which was under tho
plow. The remainder was woodland
and expensive To clear. For IL years
tho farmer had not been quite able TO
meet his interest. TO him the whole
farm consisted OF Improbable acres.
lio finally decided that the farm was
too small for tho most efficient use OF
the labor available. Having an op-
portunity, he bought an adjoining so
acres of cleared land. going I'm debt
the full amount of the purchase price.
From that time on the farm was pros
porous, and in 10 years the entire farm
was paid for and enough additional
money saved TO build good house
and barn. During this period there
had been no great change I'm prices Of
farm products. Tho smaller farm had
been Improbable because the over
head expenses were too high for 80
small n business.
In this case acres were made profit
able by increasing their number.
In the early nineties North Dakota
farmer owned three quarter sections
of land. His farm was quite heavily
mortgaged and for number OF years
ho had not been able to pay interest
In full. His family was small and for
most of the work he had to depend on
hirod help. He concluded that under
the circumstances he was working, or
trying to work, too many acres. Fin
ally he sold n quarter section and paid
his debts. Seven years later he had
$4,000 In the bank. Increased prices
OF farm products during this period
only account I'm part for this farmers
increased prosperity. In this case all
tho acres had been Improbable large
ly because there were too many of
