The Farm Manager.

81 hope to live to see the day when
the state owns all the farms in North
Dakota and the business of farming
is in the hands of a county manager
in each county, this county manager
to be appointed by the governor"
The above is recent statement
made by Candidate Reichert of Fos
ter county, N. D., Nonpartisan aspir-
ant to the house of representatives.
Read this statement over carefully,
Mr.. Farmer and then stop and think
| it over. 1t will give you some little
| idea of the scheme of Townley and
his forces to control not only the
state but private business as we'll.
Can you imagine your farm In the
hands of a county manager? asks The
Sank Center Herald.
Can you imagine yourself after all
i these years of toll and sacrifice to
| make your farm what it is today turn
| ing this property over to Mr.. Town
| ley and you yourself taking the in
ferior position of farm hand? Just
picture yourself the situation in Min
nesota providing Townley should Sc
| cure the reins of government. You
| and your family working as farm
hands on your own farm while Mr..
Townley and some political CRATER
| appointed by him, reap the harvest of
your toll.
| Do the farmers of Minnesota want
| this commonwealth to own all the
farms? Do they favor government
ownership of farms? Do they favor
move that would stifle ambition and
put curb on enterprise and desire
to own property? But the proposal
of Candidate Reichert is socialistic
and that is in keeping with the Town
ley idea of government.-Mankato

Clinic a Success.

Miss Harriet R. Mober, the new
county Red Cross nurse, reports that
the child welfare clinic held at Nor
gan last Friday was a success. About
fifty babies and young children were
examined at the clinic and considerable
interest was shown by the mothers.
If it were not for the fact that the
roads were very heavy it is likely
that still larger number would have
been in from the country. AS it was
the attendance was fully up to the
expectations. The clinic was conduct
ed by the Red Cross and County Pub
lie Health association. 1t was in
charge Of DR.. Shannon of St. Paul
who was assisted by his wife, and
Miss Anna Vorbeck. county school
nurse, and Miss Mober, Red Cross
nurse. A number of local people al
so assisted This was the last of a
series of clinics held in Redwood coun-
ty in two weeks period. On account
of the success of the undertaking and
interest manifest it is likely that a
clinic for children above five years will
be held later.-Morgan Messenger.

PURGE THE GAME,
OR IT is DEAD

| America has always prided itself
that its greatest and most popular
sport, baseball, was clean; that, though
commercialized, it was utterly Tree
! from the crookedness that has killed
every sport it has touched.
Recent news from this sport, how
ever. has sickened and dismayed Its
yotaries. 1t is charged that certain
Chicago players threw last year
world series to Cincinnati, SO crooked
that CANDLES might win by betting on
a sure thing.
| Eight White Sex players have been
| indicted on this charge by Chicago
grand jury. The seven OF them VINO
are still playing have been suspended.
Indictments are not proof, though
now confessions support them. We
should wait judgment until conviction
makes guilt clear beyond doubt. In
that event there will be no division of
lopinion about what that judgment
should be- Every player guilty OF
such contemplate treachery to the
game and to the public should be pun
ished as vigorously as the law allows,
and then should be whipped out of
baseball for all time.
Nor will the job be complete when
the players, if convicted of this treach-
cry, are punished. Not only the bribe
takers, but the bribe-givers, should
feel the weight of the heaviest penal
! ty that can be visited upon them.
There is but one chance for base
ball, already menaced by it's CONNER
cialism to Survive this blow. That
chance lies through purging it of every
player and hanger-on who can be
proved guilty of any kind of partici--
patton in this shameful betrayal OF
the game and its followers. Duluth

Eskimos See AirpIane,

None the Eskimos were afraid of it
and yet, three days later, they were
exhibiting miniature airplanes carved

time" said Rev J. T. Mcqueen, Meth
odist missionary of Juneau, Alaska.
The minister came to Portland to
bring three Eskimo children to the In
dian school at Chemawa, Marion coun-
ty.
The Eskimo people are anxious to
learn, explained Rev. Mcqueen, and
they are willing to discard methods of
work for new. For example, when
taught to carve ivory with modern
tools they adapt themselves to the
more modern systems. Mr.. Mcqueen
says that the Eskimo is brighter and
more anxious to obtain education than
the Indian In Juneau last winter,
which is the home of the mission

but there was Is feet of snow and the

RESEMBLES THE HUMAN HAND
Skin of Bats Wing Stretches From
the Finger Tips to Ends Of
Toes and Nails.

The wing of bat is most wonder
full instance of adaptation to special
end, for it Is nothing but a greatly
modified forelimb or hand.
If you spread out your hand and i'm
agine the four fingers grown enormous
ly long, while the thumb remains short
and stumpy and that the skin between
the fingers has also been stretched un-
til it extends from tip to tip of the
fingers and on along tie side of the
body to join the hind foot, you will
have a good idea of the structure of a
bats wing; it is simply much exag-
gerated hand.
The elongated bones serve, like the
ribs of an umbrella, to keep the skin
stretched and taut when the owner
Is in flight
When the bat alights 1t doubles up
its hands, the skin falls In wrinkly
folds and using its thumb joints as
forefeet it is able to run about almost
as quickly as mouse.
The skin of the wings not only joins
the hind limbs but extends from them
TO the tail, thus making the rudder
with which the bat can steer when fly
ing, and, when the tail is brought up
beneath the body, forms bag or re-
ceptable which Is of use TO Its owner.

CREDITS TREES WITH SENSE
Scientist Declares They Possess at
Least Three Which Also Belong
to Human Race.

The curator of the British Guiana
museum, James Roadway, who is an
eminent bOtanist declares that plants
possess at least three of our FIVE
senses-feeling, taste and shetland
that certain tropical trees smell water
from distance, and will move
straight toward it.
But trees not In the tropics can do
as well. A resident of an old Scotch
mansion found the waste pipe from
the house repeatedly choked. Lift
ing the slabs in the basement paw
ing, he discovered that the pipe was
completely encircled by poplar roots.
They belonged to tree that grew
some thirty yards away on the oppo-
site side of the house.
Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house, and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their
goal, the waste pipe, $50 feet away.
Then they had pierced cement join
ing and had worked their way In
long, tapering lengths inside the pipe
for a considerable distance beyond
the house. There seems something al
most human in such unerring instinct
and perseverance in surmountng OBJ
stacles.-New York Post

Foley was in restaurant when a Mr..
Davidson politely asked him for
match to light his cigar. Mr. Foley
provided the match; but as i'll luck
would have it, just as Mr.. Davidson
was in the act of applying the light to
his cigar, the owner of the match
sneezed violently and extinguished it.
Heated words followed, and Mr. Foley
was arrested for disorderly conduct

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

From President Wilson:
81 cannot too often express my
profound interest in the work being
done to check tuberculosis. My in

From Herbert Hoover:
81 am very glad to express my
opinion in regard to your sale of
Christmas seals. There is, perhaps,
no problem of health nature we have
to meet as a nation that is more seri-
GUS than that of tuberculosis. The
National tuberculosis Association has
been and is still making a superb fight
against the ravages of this disease
and it deserves the support of every
