Each Man Was Searched Every Day

every day. but without avail, none of the operatives thinking of peering into the hollow of mans wooden leg for the missing bullion,
 While this was going on, continu- ous watch was being kept on the homes of the employees. The opera tive assigned to watch Harrington's home reported to his chief that Har- rington was seen to make trips to his back yard each afternoon, carrying a spade.
 No motive other than an irresistible passion to touch, hoard and hide gold could be brought from the cripple's lips as a reason for his crime He has a beautiful home, including ten lots of cultivated land on an eminence which overlooks University park. Ac- cording to Thomas Annear, superin- tendent of the mint, Harrington earned s4 a day, was thrifty and apparently had everything that man could ask for to make him content.

BOOKLET TELLS ABOUT
 FRENCH RECONSTRUCTION

PARIS, Pept. 15 (by Associated Press).-A little booklet entitled Facts and Figures Regarding France" in which the story of the devastated departments and the work of recon struction is visualized in a series of tables is being given to Americans visiting France It is issued in Eng fish by the commission for the devas- tated regions whose president is Andre Tardieu r.
 Contrasted with the burdens of a national debt sevent times that of 1914 and taxes more than four times as great are the hopeful possibilities of rapidly improving export trade, the acquisition of the potash, iron and steel industries of Alsace-LOrraine and the gradual development of Frances waterpower possibilities
 The new source of electric power is estimated at 9,0OO,OOO horsepower of which 75O,O0O horsepower have been utilized and an additional 85000O horsepower will be producing during the coming year. Now that France is so short of coal the power question is regarded as among the most lmpor- tant, for each hydraulic horsepower is considered equivalent to ton of coal saved

. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 13 (by As sociated Press) ).-Prohibition and the fact that many residents of the Uni ted States have recently become rich about such a general condition of af- fluences as to create demand for goods and merchandise which has con- tributed to the high cost of living, ac- cording to Dr. Luis E. Zuberbuhler, member of the Argentine official dele gatiOn to the Second Pan-American Fiji nancial Conference at Washington last year.
 His observations, which include the advice to Argentine to make the Uni ted States it's example, rather than European countries, if it desires busi- xRess success, are contained in pam phlet published at Buenos Aires and re ceived here by V. H. Pinckney, mem Der of the permanent group committee of the conference for Brazil
 
 commercial success Dr. Zuberbuhler noted was the fact that the period of activity for business men was much longer in the United States than in other countries. One sign of affluence that seemed to impress him particu- larly was the wages of S1 an hour paid to laborers for cleaning snow from the streets of New York.
 On the other hand, he pointed out, the very difference in business cus- toms and ideas between the United States and Europe made it difficult for the Americans to succeed in South America. Their lack of knowledge of the credit conditions Argentina has been accustomed to enjoy from Euro pean houses has made it difficult for them to open markets in that country, he said
 Standardization of products is one of the great features of American industry, according to Dr. Zuberbuhler, who is president of the Argentine Federation of Commerce, Industry and Production and president of the Bourse, or stock exchange, at Buenos Aires. By adopting standardization, he says, Canada has been able to com pete with the United States
 Great care is taken to select the type of machine or other produce, his pamphlet states, "but once the type is decided on, the whole tendency is to produce the largest possible quantity at the lowest possible price,
 One American automobile noted for it's standardized production could not be induced to take an order for a diff ferent type of car unless it was good to call for setting a new uniform type, he said.

Sought Death in River;
 Found Water Too Cold

Truance William Francis, ap- parently bent on suicide, jumped into the Delaware river from an ice foe at Chester, Pa. He dis appeared from sight, arose to the surface, tucked a couple of huge ice cakes, went under the surface, bobbed up once again, ducked more ice cakes and then gave up his suicide quest in evi- dent disgust. He climbed upon the ice field, shaking as with ague, and made for the shore, getting away before a boat could reach him.

 DivuIges Hiding Places.
 Harrington was immediately taken to his home, where he divulged the places where he had hidden the bull lion. Most of it had been secreted in a hole in the cement wall in the base ment of his home, while some was found hidden under the cement walk in the back yard.
 Harrington, whose right leg was amputated some time ago, following an injury, has an artificial leg. This leg was hollow and was used as a handy carrier for some of the stolen gold.
 The gold, according to HarringtOn's reported confession, he would hide in his cellar every evening when he re turned from work. When the hole in the cellar wall had been filled with the bullion Harrington was forced to find another place to conceal his loot, it was said According to the secret service men, Harrington then care fully cemented up the hole in the eel lar wall and began to hide the gold under the walk in the rear of his home

TAYLOR-RYDINGs.

A quiet wedding at the home of
Mrs. M. D. Rydings occurred at high
noon Tuesday, December 23rd, when
Mabelle M. Rydings of Logan, and
Harold w. Taylor of st. Paul, Neb.,
were united in marriage Rev. C. A..
Kircher of St. Paul, Neb., performed
the ceremony. The immediate family
and friends Of each were present. The
bride is the daughter of Mrs. M. D.
Rydings, one of Logan's prosperous
business women. Since the coming of
the family to Logan Miss Rydings
has been a primary teacher at Mis-
souri, Valley. However she has form
ed a wide acquaintanceship with the
best youth of our city. The groom is
the son of one Of central Nebraska's
prominent families. F. j. Taylor, the
groom's father, is a prominent law
yer and banker of st. Paul. The groom
recently completed his training in the

THE U. 8. SENATOR.

The modern U. S. Senator is pe.u-
liar product Of our time. It takes all
kinds of people to make world and
1t takes a mixture Of all kind of ego
tistical asses to make a certain kind
OF senator. We note in the dis
patches that Senator Lodge makes no
bones in admitting thatshis principal
reason for antagonizing the League
of Nations is partisan antipathy to
President Wilson.
Thank fortune there are not man;g.
OF this breed, but there are about hall
dozen too many, at that. Nothin.;
just lige them have ever before de-
veloped in American politics. Tho
system of selecting them could only
have been perfected by long practice.
There is always chance that any
one man may be stupid; any one man
may be obtuse; any one man may be
hopeless judge of the trend Of pub
lie sentiment, and any one man may
not develop the brains of camel
cove oyster; and still some other man
may be seven different kinds of
burro. The great trick is to Fix upon
some one man in whom all these quail
fications unite. This is no easy mat
ter, but the genius of some constitu.
encies for SO called and alleged SELF
government has been equal to such an
apparently impossible task, as evi.
denced by a corporal's guard Of the
members of our great American
House Of Lords.

ETERNITY is A LONG TIME.

There are other places beside Tip
perary that are long way off, as
you can figure out if you grab pen
Gil and think a Bit.
If you want to get faint idea about
space and the eternity into which you
will be ushered into some day, and
from which you probably came, just
consider this: There was comet
headed in this direction until recent
ly. 1t was discovered in April, 1916,
three years and half ago, and it
kept right on coming straight at us
at the rat Of 1,134,246 miles day,
until last June, and then swerved TO-
ward the sun, to get warm or some
thing. The point is that if you start
out travelling through space and go a
million or two miles day for few
years you haven't got anywhere yet,
but are just getting started.
Bob Ingersoll said that If bird
flew by solid steel ball the size of
this earth and lightly touched it with
its wing once in a million years, by
the time the steel ball was worn
away by this friction it would only be
sun-up in hell.

and he was instantly killed.
Mr.. Leviaratos was 81 years Of age
and unmarried. He came here about
two years ago. He has two brothers

THE DOVE OF PEACE.

We are all tickled to death to note
the dove of peace lowering around
with its celebrated though somewhat
frayed-out olive branch. Most of US
were afraid it had got the pip, or thai;
the American Eagle or German Vul-
ture had broiled it on toast, owing to
the high price of anything else brol-
able. 1t don't seem to be quite as
white and spotless as it used to be,
and all the feathers are clawed out OF
the back of it's neck, and it's tail is
conspicuous by its absence, only the
piece that flew over the fence las
being discernable to the naked eye
the piece that Father gets from tn.
Christmas turkey.
Anyhow. we are at peace once more,
figuratively if not technically. If yol
don't believe it: just look around and
see. Each congressman is giving his
collegue black eye and tearing out
his whiskers in bales. Each senator is
lambasting the other under the lobe
of the left ear and jointly endeavor-
ing to land on the solar plexus Of the
President. Capital and labor are en-
joying more peace than they know
what to do with-they have it for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and
then warm it up again for lunch. The
peace of capital and labor sure pas
seth all understanding. Then there is
the producer and the consumer-n,y,
but they are peaceful bunch! They
smlte one cheek and then the other,
and then roar because there are only
two cheeks instead of several dozen.
The man and wife of the average
family are getting along SO peaceful
ly with the profiteers they don't know
where they are going to sleep tonight,
or any other night, if the landlord has
anything to say about it. while the
coal operator and miner have been
spreading peace jam on their bread
an inch thick. All the rest Of us have
our coat over our left arms, our fists
doubled up, our mouths screwed off to
one side and chip on our shoulder as
big as Minnesota sawlog.
All, we've got peace, all right, and
II we can manage to trade lot Of 1t
off for war with Japan. or Mexico
or somebody maybe we can manage tn
get through the winter.

WATER is UP IN PRICE.

While Logan has been alarmed at
the scarcity of water in our city sys-
tenn, it was hardly expected that the
scarcity would result in prices for this
very necessary commodity going to
the point reached by aqua pura in the
gallon jug last Friday night. Word
had been passed around to the thirsty
of this little burg that some colorel
Snaps from Council Bluffs would have
a load of first class booze down near
Missouri Valley, and first comers
would be supplied if they brought
their own jugs.
So there occurred run on the gal
Ion jug stock in this town and every
available means of conveyance was
commandeered for trip to the oasis
in the desert. The fellows went. the
sampled, they licked their chops and
passed up their jugs, each with SaU
for the gallon supply, which owing to
the near approach of constitutional
prohibition was considered cheap for
the stuff. With jugs filled and prop
erly corked the purchasers were ad-
monished to move right along SO there
would be no excitement caused by the
crowds approaching the source of
supply and thus cause suspicion that
there was something goings on. Of
course the fellows wanted to get
home as soon as possible and exhibit
their purchase to their wives and fam
lilies and tell how clever they had
been in getting a supply of the throat
varnish for the approaching dry spell.
However here comes the sad and
tear bringing part of the story. When
the boys got home and the jugs were
uncorked to enable the bystanders
and beholders, the dry ones with ton
gues hanging out for the want of a
snort, to get a whiff of the odor,
there was no sweet SAVIOR emanating
from the said jugs, hence and where
fore there will be shortage of "Tom
and Jerry" about Christmas time and
the enterprising sons of Ham who got
up the deal will have several times
thirty dollars-$450-to buy their
girls Christmas presents with and
the supply of cash with which to pur-
chase Christmas presents in this 10.
cality was diminished to consider
able extent.
The victims of the rather clever de-
ception are receiving the condolences
of friends, but whether said condo
lences are really meant or rather
satirical is left for the reader to
judge.-Observer.

BOLsHEvIshl PLUS.

The NUTS over in Russia do not
seem to know what they want, except
that they want to raise all the hell
they can and do the wrong thing at
the right time. One days dispatches
indicate that the latest revolution has
been put down, but the chances are
they start a new one next day. 1t is
dog eat dog. Nothing good ever came
out OF Russia yet, and probably new
er will for many generations-cer
tainly not until education and en-
lightenment and intelligence takes
the place of ignorance, superstition
and religious fanaticism, and that
takes generations of time.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
BUILDING OF AIRSHIP.

Some interesting facts regarding
the work required in building large
modem airship are given in recent
issue of the Engineer, which states
that the general problems of design
are closely allied to those of naval
architecture, although the airship de-
signer must be a highly skilled me-
chanical engineer and also must have
a knowledge of textile technology.
For the work of construction, owing
to the multiplicity of part required,
very efficient shop organization is
necessary. In a rigid airship struc-
ture, excluding the machinery, there
are 10000 different parts, a total
length of structural material Of twen-
ty miles, sixty miles of wire, and
more than 100000 rivets.
