NOTHING TO DO BUT WORK!
When One Thinks of 1t, It Is Rather a
Foolish Way to Spend Ones
Lifetime.

The most common complaint we
hear from everybody we know is that
they can't keep up with I'LL there is
to be done. We make the same COM
plant. Like you all, we undertake to
do seventeen thousand things more
than the hours Of the day will permit
us to do.
1t Is an awful mistake. To be driv-
en- like q galley slave is the rule we
have made for II lives. And, oh, to
quit 1t all, or to quit all but He things
we would like to do and are worth
while!
To never catch up, to never know
what it is not to be tired-it Is a fool
ish way to spend n lifetime. This one
and only little lifetime that Is ours.
And what are we to do about it?
Cut loose ant. run away; we sIess 1t
is the only thing to do.-Los angeles

Senator Scores Profiteering and Wants
Officers to Resiun.

S1'~SIo ~ nSoISU.
Washington.-"The United States
has become a robbers roost," Senator
Capper, Republican. Kansas, declared
in a prepared address Saturday in the
senate in which he scored profiteering
and declared that if the law enforce
ment officers Of the government could
not enforce the laws they should ire
sign and let men who can. take their
places"
Declaring that the proof of protitccr-
ing was in the margin of profit, the
senator said that in II year alone
during the war the gross income Of
American corporations rose from 351-3
billions to S4h billions. He read to
the senate a long list Of corporations
whose profits were placed at any
where from 20 to 200 per cent.
"Wall streets melon patches" he
declared. continue to be warmed by
the sun of privilege, fortified by the
pe%rspiratiOn of labor and watered by
the tears of poverty, and this year
will raise a record breaking crop free
from the blight of income taxes, while
the people are being urged to buy
their coal early and be robbed for
less, to abstain from steak one day a
week and to purchase war savings
stamps that the United States may
live in nine billion style on a six bill
lion income"

Tight Corner.

ISOLATION. The scholars brought in
their pennies regularly every week;
some even had as much us Il shilling
to subscribe.
One Monday morning Mrs. Oates
gave her son Tommy the sum of three
pence to pay in. On his return for
dinner the good lady asked to see
his card.
Look here, Tommy" she said stern
ly, there's only twopence entered
here! How Is that?"
Tommy grew pale as he saw that
his sin had found him out. But the
taffee in the village shop had been
so tempting. However. he did his
best.

cate That Murderers Dined
With Victims.
Crime. PREMED|TATED
In Spite Of StoIid Front, Officials of
Two Counties Are Convinced That
They Know the Parties Guilty
Of the Crime. u

Turtle Lake.-Only the fear that the
enraged community would lynch the
prisoners has prevented the arrest of
the two men whom Mclean county
authorities believe guilty Of the mas
sacre OF the seven members of the
Jacob Wolff family and Jacob Hofer,
the 1~3-year-old hired hand. The men
suspected of the crime are not stran-
gers. Both We're among the hundreds
Of farmers who thronged the scene Of
the murder.
In spite of the stolid front put up
by the two suspects the officials of
Burleigh and Mclean counties work.
ing on the crime were early convinced
that they had found either the men
who had done the killing or who knew
more about the crime than they were
willing to tell. Eagerness on the part
of the suspects to aid in finding clues
first attracted the attention of the Off
Gals.
AS the day wore on it was noticed
that their composure weakened and
that extreme nervousness marked their
actions, especially after it was known
that the shotgun, which had been used
in the massacre, had been found.
Every move they made was shad-
owed. The men were watched as they
shifted among the various groups Of
farmers who continually discussed the
gruesome affair. Always they were at
the edge of the group listening, lever
talking. Toward evening it was de-
cided that the two, who had Stunned
all sight Of the mangled cOrpses, must
be put through the third degree. This
was unanswered so delicately that on
lockers We're unsuspecting.
No questions were asked, but the
men. among scores of others who ex.
hibited a morbid curiosity, were forced
to view the bodies. All that can be
said of the silent third degree is that
it is believed to have strengthened
suspicion.
There is no authentic account Of the
atrocity. Conjecture has it that the
human butchers took their MONDAY
meal with the Wolff family. This was
indicated by 10 sets of dishes found
on the table.
After the meal was over, it i.
thought, Mr.. Wolff was first to go tt
his death. A dark spot on the grount
about so. feet from the house mark:
the spot where he fell. Examination
showed that he had first been shot il
the back at long range and then hat
received a close range discharge under
his left arm pit. His body had beer
dragged into the COW stable and GOV
cred with straw. When found tho
right side of the chest had been eater
away by hogs and the flesh was gone
from the right side of the face. The
bodies Of the two older girls were also
found in the cow barn, buried deer
under straw.
Mrs. Wolff. her five children and the
lad, HOfer, We're probably all killed il
the kitchen. The bodies Of the mother
the three younger girls and the hired
boy had been thrown down the celia,
