We have been hoping that it

raise our subscription price, but
with the continual in crease in the
price of print paper and all other
things that go into the making of a
paper, together with the high
prices OF food stuff, wearing APP
pearal, office rent, ETC., we are
forced 70 take this step.
The Polk County News was
established thirty-six years ago. 1t
was d tour page paper and sold
for 81 SO per year, At that time,
print paper was selling for about
4 cents per pound, wheat, choice
ST.; corn SO cents -four So. so and
everything else in proportion. The
News has remained at 81. so and
eight pages in place of four.
Flour is SO. hundred; meal So a |
bushel; print paper 15c a pound,
and hard to get at that, and every
thing else in proportion.
We appreciate those who have
stood with us and lent helping
hand, and, i'll fact, we regard each
and every one of our subscribers
as our friend, and to show our
appreciation, we viii continue to
send the News to all those who
renew their subscription between

Of 81 so.

Copenhagen-(B A. P)-There has
been steady increase of imports O
American coal to Denmark through

ant factor in the coal marhet here
beginning In January with few hun
dred tons, the American coal Imports
in September reached 274,590 tons.
Meanwhile imports from Great Brit
ain fell during the summer to about
$4,000 tons but rose in September to
$4,000 tons. Little coal was import
ed from Germany and this entirely
stopped in October.
At present it is understood that
Denmark Is not buying much coal
from any source since she has enough
on hand for the time being and the
rate of exchange is adverse.
Some Danish coal dealers say that
the quality of American coal has been

coal imported from Great Britain but

''MAD MULLAH,' WHO HAS HAIR
ASSED ENGLAND FOR THIRTY
YEARS, GEAS AWAY.

i LOndon-(B By A. P. 1.-The Mad Null
J lah," the dervish leader, who seems tt
bear charmed life, is now IN Abys
/ sinia,, safe from British pursuit but O
,, his numerous wives, sons and rela
tives, only his eldest son and &
| brother escaped with him
In the British campaign against him
60 Of his personal followers were kill
ed, including seven of his sons, seven
close relatives and four of his adv;s-
ers. Six sons, his five wives, foul
daughters and two sisters were cap
tured
Picturesque details of the fruitless
attempts to capture the dervish chief
tain are given in an official dispatch
from Geogrey Francis Archer, the
British governor Of that protectorate.
In the early months of this year,
the dervish forces were completely
routed, but the Mullah himself once
more got away into the interior.
Bombing airplanes were used in the
campaign and the dispatch records
that on the approach of the first air
squad the Mullah collected his people
around him and awaited their coming
under a white canopy used On state
occasions. l.-,e,-,--y,
--,ssome ~deryishes afterward reported
that the Mullah saw in the airplanes
"a divine manifestation, others said
that he had been told that the ma
chanes were Turkish and came from
STEAMBOAT (ConstantinopIe) to convey
the Sultans greetings.
1t was during this first air raid that
the Mullah narrowly escaped with his
life. His robes were singed by a
bomb and he afterward prudently took
refuge in caves.
For many days, says the dispatch,
the Mullah was pursued by the Camel
corps, often ON half rations and even
on no rations at all. The chase was |
kept up day and night until there was |
nothing further to pursue-from the
sea to the southern border of the pro
tectOrate
One group of fugitives whose tracks
we're followed turned out to be not the
Mullah and his bodyguard, but a party
of Abyssinians. Most of the Iarty
were killed, the dispatch adds, and the
Mullah, who was close at hand all the
time, saw their fate from hiding
place on neighboring hill.

FARMERS TODAY
NO MARKS" FOR

There was day, years ago, when
the farmer was considered inexperi-
onced in matters Of business and a
mark for the bunco man Editor
ial writer's on city newspapers fire.
Quently published warning to the
farmer to beware of the gold brick
salesman. And even now this idea
about the farmer seems to prevail in
some quarters.
Just why warnings should be adj
dressed to farmers rather than to the
residents of the metropolitan districts
never has been made clear. The mod
ern bunco man sticks to the city, for
the most part. He gave up trying to
gull the farmers years ago.

We believe the farmers of America
can be relied upon, however, to hold
their government securities and be

to take chances on private securities
that may turn out as total loss OF

Thrift is simply the. application Of
intelligence to expenditure.
1t does not mean only saving. 1t
does not connote skimping and penny
pinching, niggardliness and miserli-
ness. That is often the most foolish
kind of waste, waste of health, of
sepirits and of the poy of life.
Thrift means intelligent spending.
TO spend dollar now may save
two dollars next month.
Thrift implies budget. II you
have no wise plan, it makes little dill
ference how much you make. What
is the use of forging ahead when yos
don't know your destination?
Some busy money mai.brs might
sing with Mr.. Dooley, we don't know
where were going, but were on our
way" S
Thrift implies foresight. It means
we can see tomorrow as well as to-
day.
It is the opposite Of childishness.
The child can grasp only what is be-
tore him. He cannot realize the fu
ture. He wants what he wants when
he wants it, II he had no older
heads to think for him he would, like
the grasshopper, dance all Summer
and starve all Winter
The savage eats when he finds
meat. He gorges and sleeps, and be-
tween times starves. The civilized
man lays up. In abundance he pre-
pares against famine. He builds
barns and warehouses.
Thrift implies self-control. We are
masters of self, not slaves of self.
Thrift implies self-respect. We do
NOT wish to become a burden upon
others.
Hence we lay up something for our
lean days.
