PERKINS COUNTY man STICKS
WHY ONE MAN STAYED ON The HOME
STEAD AS He TELLS IT---REFUSED
A GOOD POSITION.

Eight dry weeks had rolled by
with no rain, and the fine crops
were drying up, while the castles
in the air commeced to tremble
dangerously. The new house
with its modern equipment, the
fine barn with ample storage for
hay in the loft and big silo at
the west end, the new automobile
and the power washer, together
with the trip back to the old home
all became cherished dreams Of
the. past. Perkins county had
sure gone bad again.
Then came the letter from the
house in Minneapolis, in which
was a hearty invitation to come
back and take up the old job.
"You are bound to advance rap
idly, for business is booming, and
we have something better in
sight for you," wrote the presi
dent. Salary was $1,000 with a
possible raise to $500 during
the year.
AS we read the neatly typewrit-
ten message, memories of the CITY
in all its glory returned, and we
talked over the enjoyment which
would be ours if we gave up
and sold out. The Minnesota
State Fair so soon at hand and
we had not seen a fair in ten
years, the brilliant parade, the
theaters, the fine trips on Sunday
to the parks or Minnetonka; the
fine schools for the children as
they grew up; the beautiful cot
tage we would rent overlooking
the lake; the pay check coming
IN regularly; something to go. to
every night and Sunday, and as |
glanced at my greasy overalls,
good clothes to wear always. Yes
Minneapolis sure was the place.
A letter would 60 out in the
morning stating that we would
be there as soon as we could make
a sale. What was the use of vast
ing the greater part of our lives
in Perkins county.
Then we turned the picture
around to see how it looked from
another angle.
Rent must be high out by the
lake-perhaps that cottage would
now cost us at least $50 per mon
tn. City water, electric lights,
phone would have to be paid for
Fuel would be high, while. here
we have the coal mine at hand,

per year. Provisions naturally
cost something in the city, while
our vegetables, meat, butter, milk
and eggs are raised on our own
land-yes and flour too since we
got the new flour mill at Serum.
Should we get no crop this year
we will get an abundance of feed
and our cattle and horses are
growing into money every day.
We do not wear good clothes ev-
cry day because we do not have
to do so. Though we do take an
occasional trip to the Black Hills,
Slim Buttes or some neiehboring
city, which we enjoy immensely
in spite of the advancing price Of

There was no sound of merri-

Evidently something was about
to drop.

from the southwest. Another lit

and she hurried to the house with
the good word.
Ten minutes later and the sep

wheat again this year. In an ad-

echo of an old hymn sung by the
best little wife in the world--"1t

be here" All night as l listened
to the rain drops on the roof, |
told myself that Perkins county
was all right.
The letter went out in the morn
ine-but it read: Nothing doing.
We have a good chance for half
a crop, our stock is doing nicely.

SALTS If bACKACHY

Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night. -.~ - =, g.. =. !
Either consult good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then net fine. This famous

and lemon juice, combined with ithia,

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with q
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. BY
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth'a
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get a large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair. <- -

beautiful. This preparation is a delight.

RAILROADS AGREE
TO MEMS DEMAND

New York, March 20.-The threat

has been definitely averted.
The railways have agreed to meet
the fullest demands of the Adamson
eight-hour law, regardless of the de-
cision of the supreme court.
The following agreement was signed
by the managers committee and the
brotherhood chiefs, finally settling
questions over which they have been
at odds:

COMMUNITY SPIRIT
HELD A NECESSITY
NEW ULM CITIZEN ADVOCATES
CLUB TO INCLUDE COUNTRY
AND TOWN
CITY LIMITS EXTEND AS FAR
AS MERCHANTS LAST GUS
TONER LIVES

The Community Club plan, for the
cultivation of the Community Spirit
between country and city folks is grow
Ing, and bids fair to strike this section
before very long.
''What are the boundary lines of the
City of New Ulm?" asked citizen,
interested in the Community Spirit idea.
Answering his own question, he said:
,t""The natural answer would be some
thing like this, why, to the south it is
>jat the Cottonwood river, while the
northern city limits are out near the
cemetery but this is not the case. New
Ulm extends as far as our most distant
customer of any merchant in New Ulm
resides. In other words the city limits
4are as far away as our trade extends.
The farmers and the city tradesman
are, or should be the best of friends.
There is no reason on earth why the
best interests of one are not the best in
terests of the other.
Both Cut Own Throats
Wnen Cne clCy man draws HlInseil
into hole and keeps himself aloof from
the farmer he is but cutting his own
throat, and the same is true of like action
eof the man in the country.

munity Spirit and strongly advocate the
Community Club, which would take in
the farmer and the merchant, the doctor

eve should get better acquainted

I'VE should get better acquainted,
know each others wants and cooperate
in every way possible. read an article
in the Review, not long ago, telling how
an Indiana city, about the size Of New
Ulm, organized a club and took in all
the farmers around about, built a club
house and conducted it in such manner
that people coming to town were made to
feel at home-in fact were members of
the club, and 1 was deeply interested
in the proposition. There is no reason
the same thing could not be done right
here in New Ulm.
eff we stick by the farmer, you
can rest assured that the farmer will
stick by us. Such club as the one
referred to need not necessarily interfere
with the Commercial Club, nor the
Farmers Non-Partisan League. If
they are all good each will live and carry
out the work for which it is organized,
while if it is poor it will soon pass on and
something else will come forward to
take it's place. - ...
Should Include All
"The Community Club should not be
confined to any one class of citizens and
it should include all, men, women and
children.
''For the success of such an organiza-
tion first a good leader is necessary, and
then good team work. The right kind
of leader will make good team work.
He must be man with little time to
spare, loves the game and is, willing to
study up and direct the work the same
as the manager Of ball team or foot
ball coach directs his work. The better
the leader the more certain of success.
"The main thing is for all of us to get
the Community Idea, the Community
Spirit and the Community Conscious
ness. Forget the pronoun they, and
remember it is we, and us. Do
everything in the name of the Com
munity Club, and above all keep the
names of individuals off the club sta
tionery.
Club House Necessary.
"First of all there should be a club
house, or at least ample club room, con-
veniently central, where the farmers
may meet their friends or business
associates; where their wives and children
may make their headquarters while in
town, prepare and eat their lunches, and
with an ample play room and rest room
for the children. These are some of the
things to be done and there is no reason
why New Ulm should not have such a
club. We are wide-awake, progressive
people and we should not be laggards, but
rather leaders in this movement, which
is sure to become popular in cities of
similar size all over the country.
II for one, am not only willing, but
anxious to take a hand in such an
organization and am sure that we could
find plenty of citizens both in the city
and in the surrounding country to take
hold Of it and make it success. Let
us get busy in this matter and make a
move"

Washington, March 2O.-The United
States supreme court has held the Ad.
amson eight-hour law constitutional.
The decision will have no effect on
the strike situation, as the >walkout
was averted by the previous agree
ment reached by the railroads and
brotherhoods. 3.
The decision has been eagerly
awaited because, until the strike was
called off, the walkout was regarded
as contingent upon the action of the
supreme court
The law provides basic eight-hour
day for railroad employees in interstate
commerce. It was passed to avert the
threatened railroad strike last sum-
mer
The case was taken to the supreme
court after Federal Judge Hook, at
Kansas City, had declared the act un.
constitutional.
The courts decision was a S to q
vote. Chief Justice White announced
the majority decision.
, Justice McKenna concurred in the
majority opinion, but on slightly diff
ferent grounds. Justice Day read his
own dissenting opinion, and Justice
Pitney delivered the other dissenting
opinion, in which Justice Van de Van
ter joined.
Justice Day in his dissenting opin.
ion said the legislation amounted to
deprivation of the railroads property
without due process of law"
Justices Pitney and Vandeventer
held that the law should be held un-
constitutional and void because con-
gress, although confessedly not in
possession of information necessary
for intelligent and just treatment of
the controversy, arbitrarily imposed
upon the railroads the entire and
enormous cost of an experimental in
crease in wages" .
Justice McReynolds delivered a
separate opinion, saying that congress
did not have power to pass the law,
but that he now bows to the major
