THE SALE OF LABOR.

The slave does not cell his labor to the slave owner. The slave, along with his labor, is sold once once for all to his owner. He is a commodity which can pass from the hand of ono owner to that of another. He himself is a commo- dity but his labor is not his commo- dity.
 The serf sells only portion of hi5 labor. He does not receive his wages from the owner of the soil receives a tribute from him. The Gcvf belongs to the soil, and to the lord of the soil he brings it's fruits.

WAR TINE PRICES.
(AckleV WORLDLY

The wars on-but it has absolutely
no effect on the selling price of land
in this section. of the best state in the
union. According to the advertised
schedule, S. Y. Eggert of the First
National bank, on Wednesday last,
sold the land of the George Schutjer
estate, eight miles southeast of Ack-
ley, in Grundy. Forty acres were sold
to Henry Stubbe for s251 an acre,
forty to John Riebkes at 1925, and
twenty to r. j. Lindeman for 1925.
This land is not covered with fancy
buildings; there are little or no i'm
provements-the land is there, and
the price. If "rcney is tight" no one
around here appears to be afraid Of
land values. II will continue to go

PROPHECY Came True.

A story is told to the effect that 81.
mon Bolivar, when he was a child Of
seven, had for playmate in Spain,
boy of about his own age named Fer.
dinand, the future Spanish King. One
day, while engaged in a game Of bat
tledore and shuttlecock, stroke by
young Bolivar knocked the cap from
Ferdinand's head. Whereupon an old
nurse, who witnessed the occurrence,
and who was deemed soothsayer, de-
clared that some day Bolivar would
knock the crown from the kings head.
Which feat he certainly did accomplish,
so far as South America was con-
cerned.

that you need glasses to read with
these long winter evenings. You can
save your eyes more now than any
other time in the year because you
are using them more by lamplight
than at any other time.
If you want to know what is the

to relieve those headaches let me fit

You can do your work so much cas-

PROMOTED TO BATTALION ADJU-
TANT.

Friends of Fred w. Miller will be
interested to learn that he has been
assigned as Battalion Adjutant of the
Third Battalion. Mr.. Miller has been
with Company H for many years and
is a very able army man. The prog
motion came to him solely because of
his fitness and ability to fill this i'm
portant position.
Writing to his mother Mr.. Miller
says:
Camp Cody, N. NJ, Jan. 81, 1918.
My Dear Mother:
I suppose you are wondering why
l don't write. But truly haven't had
time. If your ears have burned every
time I have thought about you, you
have done some tall scratching.
I am not with Company II" any
more; have been assigned as Battal-
ion Adjutant of the third Battalion.
1t is supposed to be a little nicer
work than with a company. I am
mounted now and have an orderly, but
tell you that when one has been in
a certain company as long as I was
in III" it is like pulling teeth to have
to go. The work is a good deal diff
ferent, too. Quite good deal of it
is office work, but of course I had
good deal of that in the company, too.
I am Adjutant to Major Ray, who
was in the South Dakota cavalry. He
is a mighty fine man and a good SOL
der, but he surely keeps me busy.
We were out at the trenches about
ten miles north of Camp Cody three
days of this week and we had one sand
storm, one snow storm and one rain
while we were out there Some wealth
err for this country.
They won't let us go home to dinner
any more, nor to supper when there
are any schools, and there are schools
five nights week. We have to have
breakfast and be in camp at 6:15 a.
M, so you see we don't waste much
time I had to work all day last Sun
day, too. am feeling fine though and
guess it doesn't do a fellow any
harm to work.
Your son,
FRED.

The Heart Is Very Busy.

Your heart is very busy organ.
While you breathe once, it beats four
times, says Popular Science Monthly.
At each beat it sends four pounds Of
blood through your veins and arteries.
The weight of the circulating blood is
20 pounds. When you run, your legs
and the other parts of your body
need more blood, so your heart must
pump faster.

best means for cleaning windows that
one housekeeper knows of, so she says.
One chamois skin she wrings out of the

them. She finds the chamois skins far
superior to the ordinary rags and says
that, if they are kept clean, they will
last long time. She uses the same
