Inadequate Train Service
The lack of adequate train service

referred to by Mr.. Stok, it was shown
by Mr.. Garrow and Mr.. Liesch that
New Ulm and all points west Of Mankato
were not treated fair in proportion
to the business given the road. by this
territory. It was pointed out that
the smallest trip either west or east
from New Ulm took the traveller and
business man almost two days to make.
The matter was referred to the trans
portation committee. Should there be
a hearing on the question at Mankato
in the near future as has been reported
to Mr.. Stolz, it will be the duty Of
this committee to see to it that New Uln
is well represented there. If there is
no hearing, the committee will have
to get in touch with nearby towns
equally affected and bring the matter
before the officials of the road.

members present, Secretary VIM. Meile
stated that there. are 154 members

Attorney General

Hon. Frank W. McAllister. who
has been making, as Attorney Gener-
al of this State, an exhaustive in
vestigation of the high cost of liv-
ing, has issued the following state
ment:
Reports from nearly two-thirds
of the counties of the state show
that the more essential food pro-
ducts have at least Doubled, and
some of them trebbled. in cost TO
the consumer in the last four years,
and they also show that present
prices of most of them are higher
than they were a year ago.
Il have found few instances in
which the high prices were due to
excessive or unusual profits by re-
tailers.
High prices are, of course, to be
expected as the result of conditions
created by the war, and so far as
these conditions are responsible they
are inevitable and nothing but a
return to normal trade conditions
can bring relief.
There are, however, many indica-
tions that speculation has substan-
TALLY contributed to prevailing costs.
Stories are current in trade circles
of large profits. followed by big

of the war American divisions held
a longer front than that held by the
British armies.
The most intensive concentration
of artillery fire ever recorded was
that of the American troops in the
battle of ST. Mihiel, when our artil-
lery fired more than 100000 shells
in four hours.
The Meuse Argonne battle lasted
II days, in which 100000 Amer
ican troops were engaged.
The total battle deaths of all na-
tions in this war greater than all
the deaths in all the wars of the
previous 100 years.

There were 100000 army officers
Of every six officers, one had previ.
Gus military training with troops,
three were graduates of officers

ly from civil life.
Our participation in the war last
ed 19 months Half a million men
were sent overseas in the first l3
months, and a million and half
in the last six months Half of the
troops landed in France and half in
England.
The highest troop carrying records
are those of July. 1918, when 3O6,
600 soldiers were carried to Europe,
and May, 1919. when $4,000 were
brought home TO America.
The greatest troop-carrier among
the ships was the Leviathan, which
landed 10000 men, or the equivalent
of a German division, in France

troops who went overseas were as
signed to the services of supply.
The average American soldier in

days; a pair of drawers and an un-

of woolen socks every % days.
In 1912 the American Army al
lotted four machine guns for each
infantry regiment. In 1919 the al.
lotment is 1856 machine guns per
regiment. American plants produc.
ed a greater number of complete
units of artillery than all those pur.

during the war.
In the first twenty months after
the declaration of war by each na-

artillery than the United States, but
the United States excelled the Bri-

American armies had in France

nearly 500 were made in America
They used on the firing line $3.50
pieces, of which 1870 were made in
America.

FACTS ABOUT THE WAR

In the physical examinations of
soldiers and sailors who served dur.
ing the war. men from the Middle
West made q better showing than
any other section OF the United
States, according to statistics just
issued by the recruiting office in St.
Louis. Country boys did better in
the examinations than city boys,
whites better than negroes, and ma
tive born better than foreien-bor
The number of men serving in
the armed forces was 100000, of
whom 100000 were in the army
1t took three years for the English
armies in France to reach a strength
of 100000 men. it is shown, but
the American armies did it in one.
half the time.
OF the armed forces of the army,
2,086,000 were sent overseas, and
100000 fought in France. The
greatest number transported in any
one month was 100000.
The war cost America $4,000,
100000, excluding normal expenses
and loans to the Allies. In the list
of death in battles. Russia stands
at the head with 100000; France
third with $4,000, and America
near the foot, with $4,000. Other
information given in the statistics
follows:
The war cost the United States
considerably more than $1,0O0,000
an hour for more than two years.
United States expenditures were
sufficient to have carried on the
Revolutionary War for more than
1000 years at the rate of expendi
ture which that war actually in
volved.
The total war cost of all nations
was about $18600O,OO0,0OO, Of
which the Allies spent two-thirds

Farming is the one pursuit which
all the ages have failed to invest
with the glamour of romance
Perhaps this is because it began
as woman's work. one of those in-
evitable necessities which may be
elevated to the status of a homely
vlrture and rewarded as such. Per.
haps it is because the yearly
triumph of the harvest was no such
glorious pageant as the spoils of a
victorious war: and there were no
expert economists to compute costs
and profits. AS civilization ad-
vanced there were always slaves to
turn to the monotonous tasks and
landholders merely supervised with
out griming their hands up contact
with the soil. Even where some
such early Socialist as Cincinnatus
recognized the dignity of the occupa.
ton. his fame now rests on his poll
teal and military successes. We
know he farmed. but who tells us
how wisely or how we'll?
In the early days of America
came the first chance to ennoble
farming. The highest as well as
the lowest turned their hand to it
perforce. We were nation of agri
culturists. Songs were written a,
bout the horny handed son of toll.
and praise meted out to him who
earned his bread, as the Bible puts
it. by the sweat of his brow" The
country beauty in her crisp calico
was compared with the silken lady
of the town to the latter's detriment
But the incontrovertible fact re-
mains that sweat is uncomfortable,
and no poetic rationalism can make
a woman prefer cotton to the fabric
whose lustrous folds whisper of
luxury and ease, of lutes and love,
rather than soapsuds and self denial.
And rarely does any one voice the
inward satisfactions which turn the
balance.
Indeed. the farmer who can re-
cognize them for himself is rare,
For his ambition are as various as
the minds of men. I have one
neighbor who wants money-money
enough to retire. Money is what
> everything he touches means to
him; his fancy invests each head OF
wheat. each cackline hen or new
born pig with the Midas touch. ]
