Wheat Always Preferred Food.

While more people are living in the
world today dependent upon rice than
upon wheat for subsistence and a
greater number of the human family
live upon millet than any other cereal
food, wheat is the preferred food
among the higher civilized peoples.
The more progressive peoples Of the
earth have ever been wheat eaters.
Grains of wheat have been discovered
in Egyptian tombs of the first dynas-
ty, dating back 1000 B. G., while
bread Of wheat has been excavated
from the ruins of the prehistoric lake
dwellers of Wagner and Robenhausen
in Switzerland.

The Eskimo's Smile.

The smile Of the Eskimo is con-
tinuous one. When he is hurt he
smiles; when his kyack upsets and
precipitates him into Icy water he
smiles; when he is friendly he smiles
again, and when he is not friendly he
smiles, too.

The Lilac Tree.

The lilac is perhaps, all things con-
sidered, the most splendid of flower
ing trees. Everybody is familiar with
Its fragrance. The tree belongs to
the olive family and Is closely allied
to the common prlvet, but it bears no
fleshy fruit and Is valueless except for
the splendor Of its blossoms.

Time was when it seemed Incredible
that school teachers would ever find
1t necessary to organize in order to OBJ
tain fair pay and fair working condi-
tions, but when the teachers Of some
cities discovered that the garbage col
lectors, aided by labor union affilia-
tions, were getting better, wages than
the teachers and were in line to OBJ
tain more favorable pension consider
alton than teachers could hope for, the
teachers began to see the necessity for
organization. They discovered, at
length, says Christian Science Monitor,
what the entire social body, usually re-
ferred to as "the middle Glass;" is be-
ginning to find out. that in highly or
ganized world he is rare individual
indeed who can hope to get his rights

BASSETT AND FORBES PLACE
COMMISSION OF MURDER OF
LARSON ON EACH OTHER.

Sheriff Frank Klaus, Deputy Sher-
iff VIM. Johnson and County Attorney
VIM. O. McNelly reached Glencoe on
the evening train last Thursday from
Minneapolis with Myron Bassett and
Charles Forbes, the two men charg-
ed with the murder of John G. Larson
of Slayton in corn field on the Fred
Ortloff farm short distance south
west of this city.
Both men while confined in the Hen
nepin county jail made voluntary con-
fessions in the presence of Chief of
Police Walker, Detectives Duffy and
Mcclure, County Attorney McNelly
and Deputy Sheriff VIM. Johnson,
which were recorded by stenograph-
er. It took Forbes three hours to
tell in detail the crime from the time
they boarded Larson's car at Excelsior
until he was apprehended.
The statements made by the two
men are substantially the same, cor

WHAT A SOLDIER SAYS.

A Minnesota Marine Zone who was
decorated for gallantry, by the wayl
was asked his opinion of the Nonparti-
san League and he wrote as follows:
"What spells Americanism We
can all answer, but our declaration
will vary just to the extent of our faith
in the ideals and principles for which
this government stands.
1--WE Americans believe in a demo-
cracy, the Stars and Stripes of our
flag representing the greatest demo-
cracy the world has ever known. We
believe in free institutions, both pubs
lie and private. We believe that gov
ernment should express the will of the
people, all the people. We believe
that the individual should not only
have respect but deep-founded love
for both flag and country.
1--WE do not believe in a monarchy.
We do not believe in a plutocracy. We
do not believe In rule of the proletar-
lat. We do not believe in anarchy.
We hat mobocracy. We despise any
one who breaches such doctrines.
"Ask the soldier who served in Eur
ope and saw political conditions as
they are in France, Germany, England
and Russia. After two years of train
ing and fighting during the great war,
after two years of it in France and
Germany, where | have had occasion
to witness some of the effects of hule
and misrule. / want to tell you that |
hate a Bolsheviki Soldiers recognize
government as a necessity. / hate
anyone who would try to overthrow
government for chaos. hate anybody
who would attempt to give their coun-
try to the Soviets.
t'The boys in the Army so many
times referred to this as Gods coun-
try. They learned love of country
that is sacred, and they hate slackers
because they know that there is such
short step from Stacker" to "Bol-
sheviki." A Stacker is both too lazy
and too much of a coward to be a
man in red, but he lives on the same
street.

organized it was headed by bank

er patriot, already convicted of en-
deavoring to discourage enlistment,

fore published, with the exception that
each man throws the responsibility
of the murder upon the other.
Forbes claims that Bassett rode In
the front seat of the car with Larson
and after Bassett had marched the
man into the corn field he called to
him to bring him the clothes line that
was in the car, that when he took the
clothes line to him Larson was on his
knees bleeding terribly from a wound
on the head and Bassett was standing
over the man with gun in hand.
Upon handing Bassett the clothes
line he says Bassett ordered him to
go back and watch the car, which he
did, and sat on the running board aun-
til Bassett came out of the corn and
got into the car and they drove on.
Bassett's version of the murder is
that Forbes rode in the front seat with
Larson and that when the Slayton man
was on his knees in the corn field that
Forbes hit him over the head with his
gun and then with the crank of the
car.

WANTED-AC CREED.

1t is difficult, at times, to know whe-
ther to speak kindly or unkindly of
socialism. 1t is, in fact, difficult to
talk about socialism at all.
The reason is, that there is a little
uncertainty as to what socialism is, at
least in the average mind. There are
many doctrines which we once called
socialistic and which are now part
of conservative policy. One might
almost say reactionary or imperialis-
tic.
The term socialism" as generally
understood, embraces almost anything
from the best to the worst. In the
socialist party there is as much diver
gence of opinion as in the republican
or democratic parties probably good
deal more. 1t is difficult to determine
upon labels for any of our parties, and
to classify each group under one of
them.
For example: There are socialists
who say that all men are born equal.
This is lunacy. We are not. Some
men are born transcendent geniuses.
Some are born imbeciles. It is not the
fault of the imbeciles, but the two
classes are not equal. That is. un-
less the word equal means some
thing it has never yet meant.
One man has the manual dexterity
to make a first-class paper hanger.
Unless a man can hang a certain
number of rolls day he cannot quail
fly for the union. 1t isn't as easy as It
seems. Some men try for long time
to learn it, and never succeed. They
can only qualify at pushing wheel
barrow. It is unfortunate, but we
are not all born equal.
Many socialists admit this, but de-
clare that we should all be given equal
opportunities Of learning. This is
good sense. And if this is socialism
we take off our hat to that part Of it.
We have not yet attained to this
consummation, but we ought to try
by legislation. Many. a mans best
faculties remain undeveloped because
he has to. earn living at very ear
ly age. He has no time to train these
dormant faculties, and is therefore at
. disadvantage in cor peting with the
Itch mans son.
It is unquestionably an advantage to
have q rich father, and there is no
sense in taking that advantage away.
That is bolshevism. Give everybody

the same advantage in education; it
is simply a matter Of taxation. There
is many brilliant intellect which,
under present conditions, never works
at full pressure for the benefit of
mankind.
The truth of the matter is, that we
are still lacking sane and sensible
creed. If the best in all parties could
be grouped into one new creed we
might come somewhere near to the
point Of Utopia. But it will never be
done in the life of the present gener-
ation.-The Lester Prairie News.

HE HAS BEEN SLANDERGD,
Heirs Of Paul II. Downing Made De-
PENDANTS in Action for $4,000 Be.
cause Of Remarks Alleged to Have
Been Made by Downing Before His
Death-Pension Cause Of Trouble.

Upton, Jan. GA SIS, 900 libel suit
against the estate of Paul II. Downing,
now under trial in the district court
here, is attracting wide attention.
Charges were made by Harvey Fleaglo,
before Downing's death, and the case
was continued by him, after ruling py
Judge John T. Moffltt. that the estate
might be liable the same as If the de-
PENDANT were living, The Downing es-
tate is said TO he valued at Sl50.V0O,
The case involves alleged Islander
made by Downing on Fleagle's charac-
ter and concerns pension which Fle-
agile receives for service in the spanish
American war. He is introducing evil
dence 10 prove that the pension was
lowered because of untrue remarks
made by Downing.
Begun last Monday. the court adj
journed Friday evening, with the plain
tiff still introducing testimony. and in
dications are that the trial Will con-
tinue another week. Evidence intro
dlced by Fleagle and his witness this
far in the case Is to the effect that he
vas 4 soldier in the Spanish American
war. that he was in Cuba, and while
on duty at Siboney, suffered severe
sun-stroke, from which he never re-
covered. The testimony continues
that his mind was permanently i'm
paired and his health impaired; that in
1899, ne was given a pension Of ST. a
month, and that it was increased later
to s2i a month, and continued at that
rate until 1916.
Further evidence on the part OF Flea
gle is to the effect that Downing, pre-
vious to 1915, was a member Of the
city council at Upton and prominent
and Influential in the vicinity and that
Fleagle. as was his right, criticized
Downing for hts alleged failure TO
properly execute the duties Of his Of

ditch yet"
That Downing filed an affidavit with
the pension department for the purpose
Of getting his pension reducted Is fur
Their charged by Fleagle. Executives
of Downing admitted In the case, that
the affidavit containing the allegations
was filed, but that 1t was a part OF an
investigation made by the pension de-
partment and that Downing was a

SUSPENDs OPERATIONS.
Quaker Oats Company Of Fort Dodge
Shuts Down Indefinitely.

Fort Dodge, Jan. 27.-The Quake.
Oats company OF Fort Dodge closed
down Saturday for an indefinite period.
About two hundred will temporarily be
thrown out OF employment. The plant
has not been operating with a full
force lately as there are about four
hundred on the company's pay roll
when in full operation.
No business" was the reason given
by r. w Mccormack for the shut
down. He said that mills all over the
country were being forced to shut theii
doors because Of the lack Of orders.
Officials OF the local plant are with
out advice as to how long the mill VIII
be closed. II is expected, however,
that 1t will not be for any great length
of time.
Certain improvements and repairs
will be made at the Quaker Oats plant
while 1t Is shut down.
