Find Wire In
Grain Bundle

New Ellington, Oct. 4.-The first
appearance Of the season in this vicin-
ity of Jack, the Thresher Smasher," !"
was made on the farm of Charles
FELTON,. near here.
A bundle in which small rolf OF
telephone wire had been placed was
pitched into separator belonging to
Clarence Mater. 1t shmashed three
sets Of concaves and brake castings
which necessitated trip to Fargo,
N. D., for repairs.
In addition to the damage to the
separator, both teams attached to
bundle wagons became frightened by
the noise when the wire struck the
interior of the separator and ran
away, wercking two wagons, and en-
dangering the lives Of the drivers.
1t is believed the wire was placed
in the bundle or grain by some un-
known person who may have had a
real or imaginery grievance against
the farmer or the owner Of the sep
arator.

DOESN'T WANT
OLD CONDITIONS
CHICAGO MAN, In ADDRESS AT
STATE "U'', SETS FORTH HIS
VIEWS OF PROBLEMS.

Vermillion, Oct. A scathing re-
buke to those who insist on a return
to the pre-war conditions and would
even go back to the 10Th century
was delivered by DR.. Emanuel Stern.
helm, Chicago. at the opening of the
University of South Dakota.
''The war;" said DIR. Sternheim,
has meant a new freedom for all the
world, and the United States. least
affected by the strife. has been the
slowest to reconize its significance.
England in many respects, is coming
closer to real democracy than Amer
lea.
THE enemies of the new freedom
in America are Puritanism, selfish
indifference, code-making, money
lust. and the blind worship of the old
order Of society that has gone for
ever. Flunkyism and hate are even
greater enemies to true democracy
than those just cited. Today
the rich and influential are filled
with class hate and individual hate.
Again, we mistake machinery for
progress and put our faith In organ
ization and uniformity. We make
more laws and break more laws than
any other nation. We must not mis-
take machinery for culture. The
new freedom that is dawning over
the world demands spiritual re-
birth. individuality plus social con-
science and, above all, love: love of
the fine as opposed to the coarse;
love of the cultural as opposed to the
materialistic. love OF the idealistic
and love of country"

OF PACIFIC
GIVEN TO JAPAN
PRESIDENTS FAILURE TO TAKE
WARNING OF NAVY BOARD AT
PEACE TABLE Barred.

Washington, Oct. 4.-How Presi-
dent Wilson, in the face of impress
siye warnings from his own admin
istration, surrenderd to Japan at the
peace conference, the Pacific island
outposts, possession of which might
decide a war between the United
States and Japan has been revealed
here.
1t transpired that on the eve of the
assembling of the peace conference
at Paris, the general board of the
navy, the highest authority on stra-
tegic policy for external defense of
the nation, prepared a memorandum
setting forth the menace to the Unit
ed States of permitting Japan to re-
tain possession of the Ladrone, Caro-
lima and Marshall groups of islands
in the north Pacific, which belonged
to Germany prior to the war.
The memorandum pointed out
that these islands cut across the line
of communication between the Unit
ed States and the Philippines, con-
stitute a screen behind which the
Philippines could be seized and oc-
cupied with impunity.
The board viewed with grave ap-
prehension the possession of these
island strongholds by an aggressive
power which already has been notice
ably reaching out for domination of
the Pacific.
American naval authorities agree
that in the event of war between the
two nations, Japan would seize the
Philippines, which we could not pre-
vent unless a large part of our navy
were on the scene we'll ahead of
time, and then entrench herself be-
hind the north Pacific island and
await American attack, a prodigiOus
undertaking for an American fleet
1000 miles or more from home
shores, with no adequate bases at
hand.
The fact that Japan had been
promised the islands by the secret
treaties of 1917 with Great Britain
and France was not deemed insuper-
able by the American naval author
tiles, viewing the question from the
standpoint of the vital interests of
the United States. Every effort was
made to impress the president with
the national necessity justifying him
in shaping his course to achieve this
object.
When the memorandum was pre-
pared the general board had high
hopes the president would achieve
nothing short of division of the for
mer German islands flanking Guam.
The recommendations were trans
mitted to the president, upon whom
apparently they made little impress
sion. He later admitted, in effect,
that he never had insisted upon the
ALLEGATION of any of these islands to
the United States.

MAN.

London, Oct. 4.-The old swindle
OF passing currency notes of the con-
federate states of America which
has been worked In England for
years. is flourishing again. Reports
of the victimization of shop-keepers
at ports have been reaching the
American embassy here in increasing
numbers recently.
A ticket seller 1T one OF the big
London railway stations gave q a'Swiss
waiter eleven English pounds for q
$50 Confederate note but became
suspicious before the waiter had
gone far and had him detained. The
police were in q dilemma as they
could not distinguish the note from
good American money and finally
had to appeal to the American en-
bassy.
The Swiss said he obtained the
note from an American but declined
to say how much the transaction
cost him. The police believed his
story that he had acted In good faith
with the ticket seller.
The police say this swindle runs

SENATOR LODGE
RAPS WILSON
SAYS CONDUCT OF WAR WAS
MARKED by WILD EXTRAV-
AGANCE AND WASTE OF
MONEY

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, republican leader of the senate,

the leadership of President Wilson,
declaring the conduct of the war was
marked by wild extravaganza and
reckless expenditure of money" de-
nounced and urged the voters of
Connecticut to re-elect Senator Bran
degee.
The speaker quoted from records
of the war department showing that
more than a billion dollars was spent
on artillery by the United States in
the war and more than a billion on
aircraft.
'Yet Geh. .Pershing in his final re-
port said that only few guns reach
ed France before the armistice," de-
clared the speaker, ''and that in
aviation we were entirely dependent
on our allies"
Senator Lodge referred to the first
sentence of article 10 of the league
of nations covenant as a ''rat hole"
He said it would bind the United
States to aT~obligation which could
not be avoided except by breach of
the treaty.
He said hostile" did not help
any administration and that he felt
sure that Harding or Coolidge would
be elected and that they should be
given larger working majority in
the senate

COAL SITUATION
IS SERIOUS
GOV. NORBECK APPEALS TO
PRESIDENT WILSON.

Pierre, Oct. 4.-Gov. Peter Nor
beck, of South Dakota, has appealed
to President Wilson, asking the ap-
pointment of a federal fuel adminis-
traitor as provided for in the Lever
act. to prevent danger of fuel fam
inc in South Dakota and other states
of the northwest. Similar action has
been taken by Gov. BurnQuist of Min
nesota.
Reports from Judge J.. +. McGee,
Joint coal commissioner for South
Dakota and Minnesota, indicate that
the present efforts to procure = nee
essary coal supply are not successful
and that present arrangements will
not bring enough coal to prevent ac-
tual physical suffering. says state
ment issued by the marketing depart
ment of the state.
Gov. Norbeck's message to the
president is as follows:
Sincere effort on the part of every
factor concerned have failed to as
sure coal supply for the northwest
From my personal acquaintance with
the situation I am convinced that
contamination and distributors will
not only fail to prevent severe crippl-
ing of industrial effort and CONNER
cial activities, but will result In &C
tual physical suffering. and even
freezing OF people in South Dakota
and other northwestern states.
Therefore. recommend and respect
fully urge immediate appointment Of
a federal fuel administrator under
powers conferred by the Lever act.

"MineraIogy for the Prospector"
 Professor George Fansett of the University of Arizona gave a very in teresting and practical demonstrative lecture on the subject .'Mineralogy for the ProspectoT' at the Auditorium last Friday evening. Professor Fan sett is especially fitted to deliver such a lecture, having had practical eXper- fence with prospectors both in this country and South America besides several years of laboratory work.
 The attendance at the lecture was very poor which was perhaps due i'd the lack of sufficient advertising, since the subject was one of interest to such large percentage of the popu- lation in and near Clifton. Literature for practical use in Mineralogy may be obtained free of charge by writing to the bureau of Mines, University of Arizona or to either Professor Fansett or Dean Butler of the University at Tucson.
