enthused and so wrought up
about anything on the Peninsula
as this wonderful Terminal. with
all Of its docks for the loading |

GOOD TURNS ON CHRISTMAS

Season.

ID EAL purveyors of Christmas cheer
IN may often find market for their
precious wares outside the pale of
charity, for all homeless people are
not necessarily poor, and neither are
all childless homes necessarily unhap-
py. Housekeepers who are short on
homes may combine these two lackings
and make Christmas day merry de-
light for the grown-ups in spite of
these unfortunate conditions.
There is always something peculiar
ly pitiable in the idea of any one
''fiocking alone' which should appeal
to the home-maker without a family,
so that this should be the occasion for
her to gather in all the bachelor maids
and homeless men Of her acquaintance
and give them joyful opportunity to
"fock together" Even the Scrooges,
If she knows any, should be rescued
from their lonely bowls of Cruel and

Business Men Demand
Strong Legislation
Return to Capital Punishment Nee.
essary to Reduce Crime Wave
COOPERATIVE Marketing

Minnesota bankers, business men
s.ld farmers in every county are ex-
pecting the 1921 state legislature to
take swift, aggressive action to re-
duce crime, if possible, and to revise
old statutes and enact new laws that
will bring about a more satisfactory
method of marketing farm products.
A large majority of the bankers
agree that farmers must look to con-
gress for effective legislation and
thinking farmers and cattle men
hold to the same view. One reason
offered was that uniform federal
laws will help the, entire agricultur-
al industry whereas farm laws en-
acted in Minnesota might injure
farmers in an adjoinings state, and
vice versa. Flooding. of the Ameri-
can market with Canadian wheat,
Australian and New Zealand grain,
meat, wool and hides, was unani-
mously condemned. Bankers urged
the enactment of legislation to put
grain exchanges and SPECTATORS out
of business and to have a goevrn-
ment board arbitrarily fix the price
Of wheat, other grains and possi-
bly, meat.

Bishop Busch
Returns Home
Visited Battle Fields, Rome and
Other European Cities7-Pleased
With Reception

Right Rev. Joseph F. Busch, bishop
of st. Cloud returned Friday evening
from a three month trip to Rome. A
delegation of citizens met him at the
Great Northern station at 7:40 and
escorted him to the Commercial Club
where words of greeting were spok-
en- by Fred Schiplin on behalf of the
citizens of St. Cloud, and the bishop
made brief response in which he
expressed his pleasure in getting
back to ST.. Cloud.
About hundred citizens had as
sembled at the Commercial Club
rooms to welcome the head of the st.
Cloud diocese.
The bishop gave brief resume OF
his trip, which he said he enjoyed
thoroughly. The week before ne
sailed he spent in London where, he
said, the increasing coldness OF the
weather was in marked contrast to
the mild climate of Italy and OF
southern France. But thhe tempera-
ture of the atmosphere in London,
said the bishop, was more than
matched by the coldness of the Eng
lishman towards America, founded
he believed, on the sentiment that
American arrogated to herself too
much credit for the success Of the
Allied armies. 4 Z
Two days were spent by the Bish7
op at the city Of st. Cloud France,
after which Minnesota's city is nam
ed, and several days were spent go
ing over the battlefields where the
American soldiers fought in the late
war. The bishop also made short
visit to Cologne, to acquaint himself
with conditions in the German city,
and made a pilgrimage to the shrine
at Lourdes near the Spanish border.

Remarkable Checker Boards.

Probably the most extraordinary
checker board in the world was con-
structed at st. Leonards, in Sussex,
England, in 1891. It was made Of
solid bricks of concrete, three feet
thick, and it's surface covered an area
Of 625 feet The pieces were moved
by hooked iron rods, making the game
of value as physical as well as a
mental exercise. A checker board
which was presented to Bismarck at
the height Of his fame is said to have
been the most costly thing of its kind
ever made. The squares were made
of gold and silver inlaid upon an
ebony case. There were "a checkers,

center Of each gold piece was a ruby,
while each of the silver pieces was
adorned with diamond. The outfit
was valued at that time at about

Northwest Farmers Not!
Going on Strike
President Potter of Farm Bureaus
Defends Right of Agrilulturists
to Hold Their Grain

Just before leaving for Indianap-
oils President Potter of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation issu-
ed a public statement on the Farm
Bureaus stand on the farmers rights
to hold his products for better prices
if he wants to and on his rights to
organize so that those products may
be marketed more efficiently. This
is in brief what Mr.. Potter said:
"The other day one of the owners
Of mill expressed himself to me in
decidedly irritable manner, saying
that "the farmers have no right to
hold their grain or other products
in order to profteer on them. Now
what are the facts Is it any worse
fo rthe one who raised the grain to
hold for a better market than it is
for others to buy the grain on a
low market and hold It until the
grain is all in the hands of a few,
and then raise the price? The only
reason they give us for selling our
grain is that money and credit IS
short. I ask, does It cost any more
for the farmer to hoad his grain than
for a dealer to hold/H?
"The farmer has never struck. The
farmer has never Intentionally re-
duced produstion. He has never ask

number Of cases pending.
Conviction of A. C. Townley presi-
dent of the national ,non-partisan
league and Joseph Gilbert, former
organizer, on a charge of violating
the state espionage act in jackson
county, is now pending in the state
supreme court. Each was sentenced
to ninety days in Jail by the Jack
son, county court, their appeal is
scheduled to be heard in state su-
preme court this week.
Gilbert's conviction in Goodhue
county court on a similar charge,
brought about the ruling by the
United States Supreme court.
Washington-The states can>en-
act war time espionage laws, the su-
preme court decided.
1t held constitutional a law of Min
nesota enacted to prevent interfer-
ence with enlistment Of men in the
military forces Of the United States.
The law was attacked by Joseph
Gilbert, who was convicted under it
because of an alleged anti-war
speech. He was fined $500 and SEN
fenced to one years Imprisonment.
Justice McKenna, in deliving the
opinion of the court, declared that it
was "work Of patriotism for the
states to assist the federal govern
nent in all work Of prosecuting a
war and could not be held repugnant
to the constitution.
He held that American citizens
have duties both in the United States
and the state, since they are citizens
of both.
The courts decision was seven to
two.
Chief Justice White dissented on
the ground that the right to enact
laws was an exclusive
power of congress. Justice Brandies
dissented on the grounds that the
measure was also a peace time in
fringement on free speech.
McKennas opinion was a scathing
of Gilbert's speeches.

tion would be ga travesty on the con-

Within the next few days the post

The new securities include the

SIS Savings stamp, larger than the
present ones, orange in color and
bearing a portrait of Lincoln; a new

well as the present 500 and $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificates.
In calling attention to the fact
that the Government has made perm
inent the sale of Savings securities,
David F. Houston, Secretary Of the
Treasury, emphasizes that endeavors
will be made to promote the continu-
ed popular purchase of the Govern
ment Savings securities.
In the line with this thought, the
government seeks to familiarize the
public with the advantages of the
Savings securities as a means OF
safe and convenient investment and
the suggestion is made by the Gov

Mexico City, Jan. s.-The estimated
number of casualties attending the
earthquake Saturday evening in the
western part of the state of Vera Cruz
still stands at 1000 or more
Dispatches from the stricken area
do not even estimate the damage donel
nor do they give accurate lists of dead.
On the other hand, they do not deny
reports of the disappearance Of one vii
lage, the total destruction OF several
others and the inundation OF several
towns by waters pouring down noun
tain streams.
Military expeditions, with ambu-
lsnces, doctors and supplies have been
sent into the affected districts.
Many petitions have been sent the
archbishop of Mexico to send the fa-
nous Virgin DE Los Remedies into the
earthquake area from the shrine at
Bartolo Nanealpan, where it is jealous
ly guarded by Indians. This virgin
has figured in many disasters during
the history of the country.
New earth shocks were felt here this
morning and fears were entertained
that they were vibrations from anoth-

Mount 0rizaba. The shocks, as regis
