Undesirable Aliens
Camp Is Planned
For Ellis Island

New York. Nov. 27.-Establish-
ment of large camp for detention
of undesirable aliens pending inves-
tigation and disposal of their cases
is the latest plan of the house i'm
migration committee now conduct
ing an inquiry at Ellis Island, it is
announced.
The camp would be similar to
those in use during the war for the
internment of enemy aliens and
would be the temporary abiding
place OF all agEators collected any
where in the United States who by
their conduct or utterances make
their further sojourn in this country
questionable.
1t is the opinion of the investigat-
ing legislators that such corral
would aid substantially the work of
centralizing the disturbers and would
result in much more rapid expedition
of their exit to the lands from
whence they came. The task of de-
portation. it is suggested. will event
ually devolve on the Department of
Justice instead of the Department of
Labor.

Appalling Scandal Of
Slavery Of Children
in England Revealed

London. Nov. 27.-The appalling
scandal Of child slavery in Great
Britain. as unearthed by the Ma
tional News, which has continued
its investigation, reveals that $780,
GOO British children under l6 years
old are employed in and exploited
by industry.
Thousands of these child victims,
who are stunted in body and mind
and whose future is hopelessly handi-
capped, are but ? or 8 years old and
work 50 hours a week for less
than 81.
In Birmingham, for instance,
there are 5000 child wage victims |;
in Kent, where the beer hops grow,
there are several thousands. Dur
ing 1917 there were $4,000 children
employed at night in munition
shops.
The National News maintains that
the children's work is unnecessary.
that the monetary gain is far more
than Offset by the evil effects of
child labor, and that the practice of
employing child labor in dangerous
and unnecessary tasks is widely
prevalent and national disgrace.

called at McNerney's Drug Store in
Des Moines, recently. and made a
statement regarding the benefits he
has derived from the use OF Tanlac
that will be of interest throughout
the entire state. :,
In relating his experience with
the Master Medicine Mr.. Wilson
saws he has not only gotten rid OF
a case of nervous Indigestion, from
which he had suffered for three
wears, but that he has also gained
twenty-four pounds in weight. Here
is his statement:

yond my belief and feel that it IS
time for me to talk for the benefit
of others, I had suffered from
nervous indigestion and . general
run down condition for three. years:
NV stomach was so weak and upset
that I could not retain and digest
enough of what / ate to keep up
my strength and I was gradually
losing ground all the time. My food
would sour almost as soon as l had
eaten it and the gas from it would
press on my heart, causing palplta-
ton, shortness of breath and intense
pains. Ny kidneys were also in bad
shape and / often suffered with
severe pains in the small of my
back.
"No kind of treatment or med
icine did me any good and as a re-
suit of my condition / was con-
tinually losing weight. I was wor-
ried constantly with the fear that
my case was beyond the reach of
medicine. But / finally began TAX

friend, and not only have my
troubles been relieved, but feel
like / have been given a new lease
on life. At the time I began TAX

one hundred and eighteen pounds,
but / now balance the scales at one
hundred and forty-two. making an
actual gain of twenty-four pounds.
/ can now eat just anything set be-
fore me and never feel sign of
Indigestion. Why, only yesterday

thoroughly enjoyed them, and they
did not hurt me the least bit. l

LOOTED Of $4,000
WORTH OF STUFF
Truck Tracks Show Robbers
Headed for BIuffs-Two
Months Losses Total
$4,000.

The Council Bluffs police depart
ment was notified yesterday that
another successful big raid had been
made on country stores in this vi
entity. Wednesday about midnight
the general store of Saar & Co. at
Essex, about 40 miles south of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, was raided and $4,000
worth of clothing hauled away in
an automobile truck. The Essex men
authorized the Bluffs police depart
ment to post reward of $1,000 for
the arrest of the thieves.
The bandits backed their truck to
the rear of the store, smashed in a
back window and carried out full
truck load. The truck and men left
plenty of tracks in the snow, but the
truck could not be followed beyond
the main highway.
Within the last two months more
than $4,000 worth of merchandise
has been taken from country mer-
chants in the vicinity of Council
Bluffs by automobile bandits. Not a
dollars worth of the property has
been recovered and no clue to the
identity of the bandits has been
found.
At Logan. two weeks ago, the
night marshal came upon band
after they had carried $4,000 worth
of goods from a store into an alley
and were getting ready to load the
loot They opened fire.
Omaha and Sioux City were the
detectives of the bandits, as indi-
Gated by the direction taken by the
cars. The Essex robbers headed in
the direction of Council Bluffs after
reaching the highway.

REV. DANIEL E. JENKINS,

percentage of owners in this territory than in
other parts of the country, owing doubtless to the
fact that the cropping system permits the tractor
to be used for larger percentage of farming oper
ations than in most other regions; at the
time, the cropping systems usually such as to
utilize horse labor rather ineficently, thus making
the comparison rather favorable to the tractor.
Disadvantages principal disadvantage of
the tractor in the Dakotas, as indicated by the
ports of owners, lies in its inability to do satisfac
tory work under moist soil conditions. This diff
Guilty is, of course, most pronounced in those
tions where the soil is particularly heavy, and
where it is necessary to do considerable work in
the early spring. Some of these heavy soils retain
moisture long after the frost leaves the ground,
thus delaying spring work.
Difficulty of efficient operation is the next dis
advantage in rank of Importance as indicated by

average of the estimates of the first
mentioned class Of owners was 9.4
and the latter 6.2 years.
The fact should not be overlooked,
however, that the percentage of favor
able reports was considerably higher
than the unfavorable, nearly 85 per
cent of the owners reporting that their
machines had proven profitable. The
average of all estimates on the life
of tractor is almost nine years.
The average number of days these
machines were used annually for
both home and custom work was 81.
These figures, therefore, would indi-
cate.a working life of approximately
450 days. Stationary operations are,
of course, less wearing.

the reports. This point is emphasized by tractor
in all sections of the country and should be
kept in mind by every one who contemplates the
purchase Of tractor. Expense in operation, undue
increase in investment and delays from trouble
etc. were also mentioned by small percentage of
owners. Other disadvantages given, but not
in sufficient number to warrant mention. The dis
advantages are not emphasized to great an ex-
tent as was the case few years ago, or in nearly
so many cases as are the advantages.
The introduction of any improved farm machine
generally reduces the man labor required for any
farm operation, and thus permits one man to ac-
complish more work and farm more land than
with the older methods. This holds true regarding
tractors of sizes which will accomplish more work
per day than can be done with horses.
Because of the local conditions and the type
of farming followed, farms in the Dakotas

with consequent ability to have farm

of owners. Ability to do thorough
work, especially in hot weather, is
emphasized considerably, as is also
the saving in man labor and doing

man to farm large acreage and thus

and dirt, which, if the soil contains much gritty
substance, attacks all gears and bearing surfaces,
not only those on the exterior of the machine but
also those inside the engine itself, unless eff
cient filter is provided for the air intake to the
carburetor. This excessive wear due to dust was
very serious matter with the earlier models Of
tractors, but great progress has been made during
the last year or two in protecting the machines in
this respect.
1t is obviously impossible to determine definitely
the probable life of the latest model tractors, since
none of them is out, but the nearest approx

cussed. This obviously depends
upon a number Of factors and
particularly the type of farm
ing followed. In the opinion
of Dakota farmers the mini
mum number of acres on which
the two, three or four-plow
outfits may be expected to
prove profitable are 1856, 225
and 314 acres, respectively.
Attention is called especially
to the fact that these figures
represent the smallest size of
farm for which these tractors
should be purchased, in the
opinion of men who have had
experience with them, and not
the size on which they can be
used most profitably.
Nearly all tractors are used
under conditions which are ex-
tremely severe for any kind of
machine. They travel over
rough and uneven ground, and
are subjected to severe shocks
both from distractions in the
path and from the load being
pulled.
A still more injurious con-
dition is their exposure to an

vation at very rapid rate
this virgin land. The returns
from the acreage planted by
the use Of the early outfits
were such as to lead thou
sands of settlers to borrow
money for the purchase of gas
tractor outfits.
Inefficient operation, how
ever, with overlooking, delays
for repairs, crude machines,
crop failures and other diff
culties, soon served to dis
credit the gas tractor for farm
work in the eyes of a large
percentage of farmers. Within
a few years horses were
bought, colts were raised, and
much of the work which had
been done previously by the
large tractor outfits was per-
formed by horses.
As a result of the ex-
perience with the large
tractor outfits in the area
mentioned, manufacturers

time there was a decided

very skeptical in their attitude toward the small
