AUTO GOES INTO DITCH

Sigurd Lykke living on the ridge
road, had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury, if not death, last Sat-
urday when he was on his way to
Kimballton with large crate Of
chickens He was coming down one
of the steep hills east of Kimbalf-
ton and turned around to see how
his lady passengers were riding. His
concern for the cargo was the cause
of the wreck, but the large crate al
so saved him when the car turned
turtle. Just as he turned around
the car bolted for the side of the road
and Mr.. Lykke turned the car back
into the track hurriedly and over it
went turning a half somersault and
landing with the wheels turned sky
ward and still running.
Lykke stuck to the steering post
and was pinned beneath the car.
The large crate held the car far en-
ough above the ground so that he
was not injured beyond few
bruises. He went for help and the
car was righted and hauled into
town for repairs. The passengers
in the back seat were not injured
and a few hours work made the car
as good as new. after this, how

EXTRA BOYS WIN PRIZE

After holding their stock for near
ly five weeks, on the advice of their
father, waiting for the market to re-
gain its normal strength once more,
Frank Dimick, shipping for him
self and his brother, Tuesday topped
the Omaha yearling market with 20
head of Short Horns and Herefords
averaging 1904 pounds for SIC. The
two youthful feeders operate 500
acre farm near Extra and have the
place well stocked with cattle. and
hogs Z
"Our stock has been ready for
shipping to market for over a
month" explained Mr.. Dimick.
when the market was low my
brother and were persuaded by our
father to hold onto the cattle. 1t is
needless to say that We profited by
it. Father always shipped his
stock to Chicago, but on account Of
the car situation we were forced to
ship to the Omaha market, and we
have no regrets to offer for doing so,
for the cattle, which really repre-
sents the culls of our herd, sold for
much more than / had expected
them to. This is the first consign-
ment of stock we have disposed of
since taking charge OF one of faith
er's farms. We still have over 100
head of cattle and large number Of
hogs that will be shipped onto the
market at regular intervals"

are notable examples of men griev-
ously disappointed. Both aspired to
the presidency and both failed to
reach the goal. Blaine believed the
fates were against him. Grant sought
a third term in the presidency and
was turned down. Greeley lost his
mind brooding over his disappoint-
ment. Cleveland died in disrepute
with his own party. Arthur wanted
a nomination for the presidency in
his own name and failed Roosevelt
sought a third term and died in sight
of the promised land. Taft was de-
MED second term. Harrison was
beaten in his second campaign.
There is every indication that
Woodrow Wilson is far from a salts
field status of mind.
Up and down the line everywhere
we find men approaching the end Of
life dissatisfied with their fate. This
is especially true of men in political
life. Few quit while the quitting is
good.
Mr.. Bryan, therefore, has distin-
guished company in his disappoint-
ment.
There is moral In this story
which any minister of the gospel can
point out.

SKELETON OF GIRL FOUND

While proving in the loft OF an
old barn at Onawa Wednesday, a.
w. MCGOWAN found the trunk of "a
human being covered in quick lime.
Investigation by Sheriff Henry
Harlow and County Attorney George
Allen indicates that the bones had
been there for someetime. A Sioux
City Journal dated September 7th,
1917, lay under the corner OF the
box Physicians called to examine
the body stated that ii is that of a
woman 16 or Is years of age. The
teeth indicated that the woman was
of that age.
They said the chest bones were
still in perfect shape. One thigh
bone was completely pulverized.
Sheriff Harlow found a rope slung
from rafter.
The only clew as to possible
Identification is a shirtwaist sleeve
which lay beside the body. The
girl was murdered elsewhere and
the body secreted in the barn or was
she lured to the barn and attacked
and murdered? A burlap bag was
thrown over the body and then
screen door was put on top of it.
Authorities are endeavoring to find
reports OF missing girls with view
to Identification

RRYAN.s nIsApPoINTMENT

There is no doubt about the gem
eral disappointment Of Mr.. Bryan
over his failure to secure dry plank
in the democratic platform at San
Fransico. When he said his heart
was in the grave he spoke the truth
as he understands it,
Bryan is now past his sixtieth
year. Undoubtedly he is nearing his
political finish. He has been in the
political game for twenty-five years.
His disappointment, however, is
not exceptional. In truth 1t seems to
be the rule Very few of our Amer
lean statesmen have been able to say
at the end of their careers that they
were satisfied. Clay and Webster

chronicle the death of John Rosen-
beck, one of our most highly re-
respected citizens. He has been

his system was too frail to undergo
the strain. He passed peacefully

tised at the same place but con-
firmed in the Jels church.
In December, 1873 he came to
America and five years later married
Anna Marguerite Christensen at Dav-
enpcrt, Iowa, where they made their
home for about twelve years. They
moved to Audubon county in 1890
and have since lived in this vicinity.
The past ten years they have lived
In Audubon.

WOMEN ADOPT
10000 ORPHANS
Connecticut to Provide Foster
Mothers for Little Victims
of Turks.

Ten thousand little victims of
Turkish brutality are to be foster
mothered by the big hearted women
of Connecticut as the result of ap-
peals by Near East Relief, the former
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief Of Madison avenue, New York
city. The women at meeting voted
to "adopt" that number as their share
of the 250,00O homeless and starving
boys and girls orphaned in the massa-
cres and deportations.
Three hundred representatives of
women's organizations attended the
meeting at Hartford, at which Gov
ernor Marcus III. Holcomb presided and
pleaded the cause of the stricken peo-
pies. Another speaker was Henry Nor
genthau, former U. S. Ambassador to
Turkey.
Assurances that the example Of these
noble hearted Connecticut women will
be followed by similar organizations in

SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE

We are pleased to note that our
subscription list is pretty well paid
up in advance, and we wish to thank
our subscribers for their thoughtful
ness in this matter
Owing to the print paper situation
the publisher nowadays cannot afford
to mail out papers for which there
is no return, nor to use extra paper
IN his publication where less would
suffice-and this is also only fair to
the fraternity as the wasting Of print
by one paper makes it that much
more difficult for other papers to
secure stock.
BY economizing on print paper, US
ing only the amount necessary to
accommodate local news and advertls-
Using, we will attempt to continue
our present rate of $1.50 per year,
for while at least.
Our news columns will be devoted
to matter of local interest to this
communicative city, neighborhood,
county and state items-and we re-
spectfully request your cooperation
in getting this news.
The local paper which is full OK
live home news is the best booster
any community can have, ard we all
want River Falls to make a. good =
showing as the best.
We would call the attention of adj
vertiser to the fact that 20 have a
smaller edition entirely devoted to
that class of news which EVERY
reader in this territory READS adds
greatly to the value Of every page
as an advertising medium.

THAT DEPOT AT WESTON

A very interesting question of law
Interpretation has arisen through
complaint recently filed with the
Railroad Commission by Edw. Og-
den and thirty-two other citizens of
Weston, in Dunn County, asking that
the C. st. P. M. & 0. Ry. Co. be di-
rected to open its station at that
point one hour before the train ar
rives.
The law provides-Section 1873
that every railroad shall keep its
stations opened, cleaned and warmed
for twenty minutes before the arri-
val of a train and until the train de-
parts, and for a longer time if the
Railroad Commission so demands.
The railroad authorities, in ans
wering the complaint, have raised the
question of whether the laaw applies
where the station is terminus and
the train arriving goes no further.
The complaint comes up for hear
ing at the City Hall in Hudson at 2
o'clock D. m. on Feb. 10, and soon aft
err the hearing the Commission will
hand down decision in which its
Interpretation of the law will be Civ
