An Embarrassing Auto Ride.

The New Ulm Review tells how a
Hutchinson man and his wife cooled
off on one>of those blistering hot
nights by taking q. ride In their auto,
and likewise in their "nfghties.'' AS
the. breeze came in thru the open wind
shields and futtered their scant gar
ments against their hot bodies they
agreed that it was simply great, but.
when out about seven miles bang
went tire and hubby jammed his bare
foot onto the brake, missed it, caught
his big toe and -swore blue streak
then got out and began making repairs.
The tall grass was wet with dew and
dust and sweat and "hot air" from the.
pump exhausted him and his vocabul-
ary Of cuss words. But they finally got
started again and were within a mile
or so Of town when the car got to
splitting and jerking and finally stopped.
s-the-gas-tank empty Z? queried the
anxious wife. .Damfna,", !" snarled the
husband as he got out and poked a
splinter into the tank. BY gum, 1t Is,
and we'll have to walk home . Never
ii these scant clotheap said she, so
hubby trudged to the nearest house,
woke the owner, paid him a dollar and
a half for half gallon Of gasoline, and
sWore him to secrecy. But somehow
the secret got out, and the moral is: !:
Don't go riding at night. IN your
nighties.

THE FARM TRACTOR.

The farm tractor has come into quite
general use in farming operations DUR
ing the past few years. They have
proved very useful for blowing espec-
tally, which is about the hardest work
on the farm. The saving in horse flesh
that has been brought about by their
use is enormous, and both the horse
and the mule should feel thankful that
they do not have to do all this hard
work on the farm. This year, especial
", has been very favorable for the use
of tractors, it being a dry year. Hun
dreds of tractors in Marshall county
alone are busily at work these days
turning over the soil in preparation
for another harvest. We're it not for
the tractors, there would be left great
deal Of unplowed land in the county
this year, as the ground is very dry,
and great deal Of power is required
to turn it over. 4, 81
The development Of the tractor for
farm use marks an epoch in modern
agriculture. The tractor may prove al
most as great boon to the farmer as
the selfbinder. Tractors of many diff
ferent sizes, shapes and constructions
suited to all farm conditions, are being
turned out by manufacture and like
the obiles, all seem to work now,
the experimental stage having passed.
Some. Of course, work bettenNthan
others, but all will perform service.
The tractor has this advantage over
the horse or mule, that it never gets
tired, as long as it gets its required fill
of gasolineH Where there is sufficient
man power raatq ckange off in operating
the machine, it can be run day and
night and need not stop even foF. meals.
The tractor wifi shelp to feed the
hungry people in all lands.

Steel Trust Cuts Prices in Two.

The fact that the steel trust was able
to make reductions in steel prices OF
from 80 to 70 per cent and vet retain.
ample profits, shows to what extent
that soulles corporation has been rob.
D1ng the. American people in the years
gone by Every industry in which iron
or steel forms part of the raw Material
has had to suffer on account of the
greed of this trust. Farmers have had
to pay more for farm machinery and
those needing to build have-had to pay
greatly increased prices on account of
this hold up. The trust can not blame
it's past prices to higher cost of labor
as the report of the finance committee
of the senate made by treasury experts.
shows that the profits of the United
States Steel Corporation in 1916 was.
S271 ,531 ,73O, an increase of $24S,O O3}4,-
.962 over the profits of 1914 Surely
the American public is patient and long
suffering to allow itself to be feeced to
such an extent. After cutting the
prices practically in half the trust still
has a fair profit on it's product The
lOLOWlHS are TIE prices agreed upon
by the government and steel producers
Steel bars at Pittsburgh and Chicago,
$3.50 per hundredweight. The recent
price was $500. Reduction, 47.3 per

Pig Iron Price agreed upon, sS3
gross ton; recent price $5S. Reduction,
43.1 per cent.
Steel Shapes Basis Chicago and
Pittsburgh Price agreed on, $3 hun
dredweight; recent price, Sc hundred

What other business can afford to
cut prices in half and still survive?
Such grasping monopolies as the steel
trust are real breeders Of anarchy and
sedition, even though they may pose in
the cloak of, patriotism. Such trusts
cannot be trusted. u

Liberty Bonds Attractive.

In floating the new Liberty loan,
much will Of course be said about the
patriotic duty Of subscribing. This is
all true and good stuff. Yet many of,
our shrewdest bankers are urging their
clients to buy Liberty bonds, as the:
very best investment in the market.
It's certainly phenomenal thing.
that the bonds Of the United States
goyernement, the best security on earth,
should sell to net four per cent. Never.
before has such a thing happened.
There have been many times when two
per cent bonds could be foated at par
by the government. The United States
Panama Canal bonds sold a. few
months ago, before the war broke out,
for a premium Of two to four per cent.
And they pay only three per cent. So
Conditions in the security market
now are wholly abnormal, and can't
last after the war. European investors
have been unloading on us their Ameriz
can securities, as they wanted the.
money to put into their own govern .
smentx issues. Our people have had td'
dig money out of all kinds OF invest
mentss to buy back our securities held
abroad. This has reduced the price on
everything, Including government
bonds. ,sGsssss's, 49,
In the face of this selling movement,
the first Liberty loan has sold fol. but a
few cents under par. 1t seems as GER
tain as anything in business can be,
that after the war these bonds will 60
up. If under normal conditions a
three per cent bond sells at 1O2 to 1O4,,.
a four per cent bond should bring a
good Gaal more than that.
Here then is a chance to get interest
that is higher than many savings banks
used to pay, and at the same time a
practical certainty, that the value Of
the principal will advance within a
very few years. Usually when you
speculate, you must take risks Here
is a chance to get the advantage of
speculation without any risk. It
should not be necessary to work the
patriotic movement SO hard to sell
these bonds.

Fewer Students.

Preliminary returns from the col
leges and technical schools are showing
a decline in enrolment Of 10 to 40 per
cent. As the majority of these students
are under military age. it does not
seem possible that any such proportion
could have been drafted Probably a
good many boys of 10 and 20, fearing
lest they would be called out before the
war is over, dislike to enter OH courses
that they may not be able to complete.
The United States faces a hard race
after the war for technical and mental
supremacy. The war has demonstrated
that the old levels of attainment were
not sufficient Old theories of politi-
cal economy, old systems OF mechanical
production, have had to 90 into the rag
bag, The worlds industries are going
to reopen on a basis Of greater produc-
tion. Many wastes have been elimin-
ated and the wits Of men have been
sharpened by intense competition
The United States can not go along
in the old wasteful way. It needs
mechanical experts Of the highest
order. It needs broadly trained men
who have studied deeply into human
history, and who can lead our people
in ways Of progress and IN deyelo lopment
Of better civic institutions
Therefore the boy who aband Ions his
plan for higher education is not doing
well. It is quite possible that there
will not have to be another drawing.
Or even il there is the second division
of men called may get@no farther than
| the training camps Of this country and
France.
In that case they can simply come
back to their work without any real
loss Of time. The year viii have been
well spent In q valuable training, and
they can resume their mental and tech.
nical studies with more power than
ever. The country needs all the edu.
lscated men It can get. The unframed
imam more than ever before will be out

The man who earns enough to make
a good living for himself and family
is certainly more independent and Of
more value to the community than the
one whom the state or county has to
assist. The man who grows his own
living on his own land is still more
valuable citizen. It is a high ambition
to want to be able to do this. Red Ri
