The steady growth of this group,

BURIED GOLD IN POLAND

There Is Reason.

Ii Is Land of Hidden Treasures;
There Is Reason.
London, March s2S.-[By MALL
Russian Poland is land of hidden
treasures. A colossal amount OF
gold and silver lies hidden in Polish
soil. according to latest arrivals here
from Warsaw. 1t was placed there
by peasants and landowners when the
German invasion began.
|. Much of the buried treasure was
lost when Germans cleared Poland's
woods. Marked trees, used to desig-
nate the location of the precious bur-
led metal, were chopped down and
taken to Germany TO be used in
making aeroplanes. Then they blew
up the stumps.
The Poles obtained the gold when
the Russians began their retreat be-
fore the German onslaught. AS they
left, they paid the Poles in gold and
silver for supplies. When the Ger
mans came they proceeded to seize
all the gold and silver but they no
more than got start when it SEEM
ed to miraculously disappear.

farm SALARIES RISING
AVERAGE IS NOW PLACED AT
S1,210 PER ANNUM
Property Value Been Climbing
Higher During the Past
Few Years

Washington, April 1.-THE aver
age American farmer" has jumped
into the sl,210 year salary class.
Before he began coaxing up bump
eY war crops, he could pay himself
only $53. a month. Thus in 191;
he earned exactly 500 40, according
to study made by experts at the
department of agriculture.
Four years of war have put into the
pay envelope of the average Amer.
lean farmer" nearly $4,000 in cash.
Earns Additional Money.
In addition to this. he has earned
additional money at a rate suffi-
cient to:
Slip into the savings bank each
year neat per cent on his in
vestment.
Put aside to maintain machin-
cry, 20 per cent, and per cent
building repairs.
Pay the highest wages and
highest prices known.
Feed and clothe his family.
Meet his taxes; and
Probably pay off the mortgage
or at least cut big hole out of it.
Value of fSperty.
As result of all this the value OF
his property has climbed out of sight
The average American farmer is q
wholly imaginary figure who came in
to existence in 1913, when the agri-
culture department experts made
their study of his paid in" and "paid
out" items, which told them he was
earning only $640. 40 a year instead
of the S1,21O he now receives.
Some Did Not Do So Well.
Not every farmer in the United
States, of course, did so well. Some
of them have fewer than the aver
age 1881 acres in their farms. 9th
ers with thousands of acres, cleared
far more. The calculations showing
the average farmers prosperity are
based on comparisons of his income
and expenditure of other years, given
by the agricultural department and
the census bureau.

GREAT MONEY IN STOCK
HEAVY SALES At BLUE EARTH
PAST FEW MONTHS
One Hundred and Seven Ihous-
: Z; and Dollars Worth Pure
Bred Is Record

One hundred and seven thousand
dollars worth of pure bred stock has
been sold in, Faribault county since
January /, 1919, through public sales.
The next sale of Importance is one
of Herefords to be held April %.
From time to time mention of Ed
ward More & Sons Hereford farms
at Blue Earth, Mimi, has been made
in various publications. However
no publicity has ever been gwen
what this firm is doing in the Here
ford business. More's Hereford es-
adjustment promises to become one
of the most outstanding in Minneso-
Ia, if not in the Northwest.
Edward More the senior member
of the firm, is a farmer and has made
a success in farming. In 1917 and
1918 he responded TO the call of
wheat production. The corn and
smaf grain is consumed by the live
stock and he purchases additional
feed which is fed on the farm. The
manure is returned back to the soil.
Thus, the farm is becoming known
for the wonderful producing mature
of the soil. Up to 1915 he has made
il a practice of feeding white faced
cattle. AS high as 500 head have
been fed at one time.
lived On Same Farm All His Life.
A few statements may not be out
of place here. Edward More and his
wife live on the same farm that he
was born on April 6, 1860. The
house and yards have an ideal loca-
ton. From the house one can scan
the pastures and fields. In the sum-
mer time you will observe the album
dant red clover fields. Across the
road is what was formerly known as
=. pond, which has been drained and
furnishes an abundant pasture for
the cattle. In 1915 he purchased
three pure bred heifers. He pur-
chased his first bull, known as Fran
chise, in the spring of 1917. Since
that time he has. been buying and
breeding cows that are real cows,
top notchers, the kind that deliver
the goods. In1917 More decided that
it was a good idea to be on guard
for tuberculosis. AS result. he has
had his herd tested by federal men
since that time. The fear of even
contracting the disease in his herd
-ff<tS kept ltiH iIOIt SnONlnS SOilc VI
his cattle. even a. the county fair.
Purchased cattle are placed under a
rigid quarantine system until such
time at which they are re-tested again
by a federal veterinarian.
Edward More & Sons have not
gone far enough SO as to be known
as well as some of the older breed
ers in Hereford cattle, however, you
. are beginning to hear of them in
shows and sales. Edward More e
Sons Hereford farms are rapidly be-
coming one of the recognized Here
ford farms of Minnesota, as the
grounds have been laid for an extern
sive Hereford breeding establish
ment. - 10"
Even though there will be a big
Hereford sale held by the firm at
Blue Earth on April 25, Edward
More expects to keep on raising and
breeding the white faced cattle and
spend the rest of his days en- the
farm where he was born.

1. C. (. MAKES
 ONLY VERY FEW
 RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, submitted to Congress today makes few recommendations
 Federal control of railways during the last year, having taken over many functions of the commission, the re- port renews main1y recommendations made in previous years.
 It is recommended that the power to award reparation for unreasonable or unlawful charges be placed wholly in the court; that the powers of the comms be extended to holding corporations as well as those which actually operate interstate transporta- tion lines, and that railroad operating rules be standardized.
 The commission reports again that in many cases it's work has been ob- structed because necessary records and data could only be obtained from holding companies.
 From it's investigations of train ac- cidents the commissions investigators concluded that the failure of engin- eers to obey signals ana failure to provide adequate flag protection for trains continued to be the principal causes of collisions. The use of auto matic train control was again recom- mended.
 The investigators also found, the report says, that there was room for much improvement in tfle brake equipment of trains.
