Charged With Heinous Crime.

Charley Peterson-known as "Black
Peterson Greenbush was arrested
last Thursday by Sheriff Shockley up
on a warrant issued by County Attor-
ney Doane. charging incest-carnal
knowledge of his two daughters, aged
13 and Is years. He was arraigned
before Court Commissioner John F.
Peterson, pleaded not guilty, and his
bail was fixed in the sum of $4,000 to
appear before the grand jury at the
next term of the district court.
The Union learns this morning from
a reliable source that Peterson has
disappeared from his farm.
On Monday afternoon the two Peter
son girls,-Edla aged Is, and Edith,
aged 13,-who had been taken from
their father and for several days cared
for by Mrs. Shockley, were brought be-
fore Judge of Probate Sanford, to
whom they related the story Of their
frightful experience-the abuse and
I0SlcCG W WIl1SlI tA1Sy AAe%u DSSAA oSAO
jected by their father. The poor girls
had previously told their troubles to
Mrs. Shockley, and the story was one
of narrowing detail-the story of two
little girls attacked by beast in hu-
man form, and that beast their father.
Judge Sanford issued commitment
to the state public school at Ovation
ma, where the mistreated girls will be
sent after the necessary arrangements
have been made provided they can be
accommodated at that institution. If
not they will be sent to some other
state school. They are thankful that
they have been taken from their brutal
father.
Three other Peterson children were
taken from their father some time age
and sent to Owatonna. 80.

That Free Love Fight.

1t is rather enjoyable to watch the
fight that is going on in nonpartisan
ranks over the free-love proposition.
Some of them are calling others awful
names. It seems that all of the men,
bers of the league are not in favor of
any program Of free love or Of the
teaching Of this bunk to the children.
There are lot of honest men in this
league and they will be all right after
they get out from under the Townley
yoke. We are of the opinion that the
average farmer has about as much
use for socialism and some of the other
radical rot as he has shown himself to
have for free-love. North Dakota is
about through with Townley and his
teachings. The truth will win eventu-

the former service men can scarcely
be blamed for feeling that they are
pouring money into what seems bot

Government Service.
BY r. s. ALEXANDER.

How would you like to work for
Uncle Sam? '!c - W -" e-tL'i-
Did you know that your uncle is the
largest employer in the world? He
hires under civil service rules more
than 100000 persons. The United
States Civil Service Commission says
that probably no occupation exists
which is not in the civil service.
About 10000 persons are appointed to
positions each year.
Jobs are awarded in civil service by
examination. A new position is to be
filled: An examination is held taking
in the Information and Qualities neces-
sary to that job. The appointment is
ing the highest grade in that exam
ination. If You are the best man for
the job the chances are that you will
get it.
salary doesn't mean that you will stay
there. Large numbers of cases are on
record where men have entered the
service in jobs paying $1,000 or less,
and in a number of years by work and
study have gained four, five or six
thousand dollar a year jobs. If you
have the stuff in you you will go up.
Most of the work in the government
service is on an eight-hour basis.
That means that eight hours is the
in day. Your. hours might be
shorter. This would give you the
spare time to do any outside study
ing you might like or to fit yourself
for promotion within the service.
The training necessary for you to
enter the service is about the same as
would be required in the same job in
civil life.
If your town has a house-to -hous e
mail delivery you will find the office
of the local board of civil service
examiners in the post office. They will
be able to give you more Information
about the possibilities of the service
and how to train for the job you want
to get. You might also write to the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion. Washington, d. c., for the same
information. The commission would be
able to send You bulletins on the sub
ject which would be of value to you.
When you are deciding for whom to
work don't forget your Uncle Sam.
