Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-10-15

President Wilson got into the presi-
Dental campaign at the beginning of
the week with a long letter addressed
to his fellow citizens, urging them to
place the seal Of their approval of the
League Of Nations covenant by their
votes at the polls in November. He
said: "The chief question that is put
to you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor vindicated and
the treaty Of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve Of the
League Of Nations as organized and
empowered in that treaty? And do
you wish to see the United States play
its responsible part in it,"
He said the opponents of the league
had mislead the voters and had dis
played gross ignorance and impudent
audacity in their attempt to invent an
'Americanism' of their own, which has
no foundation whatever in any of the
authentic traditions of the govern
ment"
Following this lead, Governor Cox

.GROcERs ARE HAv-
ING HARD TIMES
BARELY MAKING A LIVING ON
ACCOUNT OF HIGH COST.

Sioux City, Jan. 30.-Not more
than 10 per cent of the cost of COM
modities is due to the retailer, ac-
cording to d. A. Magee. secretary of
the Sioux City Retail Merchants as
sociation, who finds that the Sioux
City grocer is still accused of respon-
sibility for advancing cost of arti-
cles."g
Continued criticism of the retailer
makes necessary some sort OF reply
to the general public" said Mr.. Ma
gee yesterday. From the producer
to the consumer there is regulation
channel through which products must
pass. Back of these lines of products
are two great factors in price max
ign. the available supply of any given
product and the ability and DISPOSE
tion of people to buy and consume.
The retailer gets more abuse for the
high cost Of things than any other
person.
This is true because he is direct
ly on the firing line. He stands up
next to the consumer. He is the man
nearest the fellow with a grievance.
Next to the retailer stands the jobber.
The next heaviest fire is directed to-
ward him. The result of this work
ing out of human nature is to direct
the heaviest fire of the people against
the high cost of living toward the
wrong end of the line.
"Thn truth nf tho ,,,o%4ou 49,
the retailers and jobbers as middle
men and servants of the producers
and consumers are being unjustly
and numerically ground between the
upper and neither mill stones. How
FAR will grocer go in paying his

penses who makes only cents a

istence. Some oCf them are actually
running behind, and, if present con-
ditions continue in Sioux City, will be
forced out of business. The only ones
who are prospering are those who
have good locations and work like
slaves and sell for cash only.
The three greatest factors in pres
ent prices are prosperity, extravagant
disposition and habits and restricted
production. To procure satisfactory
results the artillery fire should be
directed against extravaganza in buy
ing and interpretation. The ex-
travagance of people in buying neu-
tralies and largely nullifies the exist

The accusations against the grocers
as q class are wholly unjustified.
Some day they will be appreciated
for the work they are doing in this
period of high prices and the sacri-
fices of profits they have made"

Lennon, Jan. 30.-James Gilland,
19, of Thunder Hawk. arrested few
days ago at Helena, Mont, has been
brought back to South Dakota for
trial on the charge of being impli-
Gated in the robbery of the Model
clothing store in Lennon of $4,000
worth Of goods and the robbery of a

About one-third of the goods taken
from the Lennon store were recov-
cred.
The stolen goods were shipped to
Helena in the name of Sutton, and
both Sutton and Gillard went there to
dispose of them. According to the
confession of Gillard he helped dis
pose of some of the stolen goods at
Great Falls, Mont.
Gillard is member of a well
known family at Thunder Hawke and
had never been in trouble before.
Young Gillard now is in jail at Nc
Intosh and will be indicted in Corson

Corn Palace Rats
Worry Mitchell

Mitchell. Jan. 30.--City Engineer
Henson believes that he has solved
the Mitchell Corn Palace rat
problem. It is asserted that there
are thousands upon thousands OF rats
in the old corn palace, which Is to be
torn down some time before the first
of March. IL IL feared that this rat
horde, II precautions are not taken,
will scatter throughout the city. Mr..
Henson has conceived the idea of
erecting fine wire mesh fence about
the corn palace during the process Of
wrecking so that the rats may be con-
fined and easily killed. All other
known expedients. poison and probab-
ly gas, viii be used In the extermina-
tion OF the rodents.

POLITICS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
p r. e SID DENTIAL CANDIDATE
SEEKING FAVOR WITH
THE VOTERS.

Sioux Falls. Jan. 30.-Develop-
ments of the past week indicate that
Sioux Falls will be a swirling vortex
of both state and national politics
prior to the primaries in March.
Particularly in the presidential
race. a close fight is anticipated in
South Dakota between Mai. Gen.
Leonard Wood and Gov. Frank o.
Lowden,> of Illinois. Though Wood
has the majority endorsement of the
republican state proposalmen's con-
vention, Lowden has gained consider
able strength since and political ex-
perts predict that the support is
about evenly balanced now. That
both candidates are making a strong
bid for the women's vote is evident
in the arrival here last week of three
women from Lowden's campaign
headquarters and also two South Da-
kota women who are organizing
Wood for President" clubs over
South Dakota.
Representing Lowden in South Da-
kota are Mrs. Lillian I. Danskin, oil
Jacksonville, ILL.,, who will remain IN
Sioux Falls for the nextA6O days or
ganizing the women in support OF
Lowden; Mrs. Flo Jameson Miller
of Monticello, ILL.,, who will be sta
toned at Mitchell, and Mrs. Beatrice
Edwards of Springfield, ILL.,, who is
to be at Huron. They are already
comforting with prominent club wom-
en- and leaders.
Mrs. John Nipple, of Pierre, and
Mrs. Paul Rewman, of Deadwood, are
here organizing Wood for Presi-
dent" club. They have already or
ganized such club at Mitchell.
Gov. Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois,
republican candidate for president.
will give speech in Sioux Falls on
about February Is, his campaign
headquarters have announced. A
great reception is being planned here
for him by the Minnehaha "Lowden
for President" club.
That the democrats do not intend
to let the South Dakota primaries
pass unnoticed is foreseen In the an
nouncement just made from New
York that James w. Gerard, former
ambassador to Germany, has accept
ed the challenge Of George d. Mon
roe. OF Illinois, to hare . joint debate
in Sioux Falls on March 2. Both Ger
ard and Monroe are independent can
didates on the democratic ticket for
the nomination Tor president in the
South Dakota primaries. Prominent
democrats over the state dre making
arrangements for big gathering here
on the occasion of the debate. Plans
are in charge Of James Nee, OF Gen.
terville, democratic national commit
teeman from South Dakota.
Then on February Is will be an
other joint debate here. This one ID
between w. H. McMaster. of Yank-
ton, majority republican candidate
for governor. and r. o. Richards, OF
Huron. Independent republican candi-

ENGINEER.

Brookings, Jan. 3O.-No building
on South Dakota farms needs ventila-
tion more than the hog house does.
A well-built hoghouse with galvan-
lied aerators on it is not necessarily
ventilted. There must be places pro-
vided for fresh air to get in without
drafts II proper ventilation is secured.

engineer at the state college.
Mr.. Patty says hoghouses are being
built extremely warm with tight
foundation. double side walls with
dead air space. II built Of lumber. and
its equivalent, II built Of clay build
ing blocks. The roof is sheathed
tight under the shingles and occasion

galvanized aerators are put on top
Of hog house like this, 1t is by no
means ventilated. says Mr.. Patty. The
reason il because when the doors and
windows are shut there Is no place
for fresh air to come In. Unless fresh
air comes in to crowd the foul air out
through the aeratOrs there will be
practically no circulation. II door
is left open, one gets the circulation

is under cultivation. Last year Mr.
Schnitzler had 5000 acres in crops
but this year he is summerfallowine
l,5OO acres and has 4,500 acres il
crop. His success at farming on g
big scale, has been unusual and the
story of it would read like a true ro-
nance of the great West. In the
first years of his career he followed
newspaper work in North Dakota.
He came to Froid ten years ago and
started the Tribune. About eight
years ago he began his farming en-
terprlse and states that he has made
money every year with the exception
of 1919, when drought hit the whole
country and he had 1000 acres hailed
out besides. In spite of this double
disaster, he raised $4,000 bushels of
wheat. For power he uses a combin-
alton of tractors and horses, using
the tractors to pillow the ground and
market the crop, and horses for seed
ing and cultivating. He says he never
puts a tractor on a field after it is
plowed. He has a good set of build
ings on his farm with careful pro
vision for the comfort of his men of
whom he uses a crew of thirty or less
according to the season.
