HISTORY RECORDS CORN AS
FACTOR IN. HOME-MAKING
Indians Fixed Habitation Centers
in Grain Growing Region.

Corn, or Indian maize, is credited
by students of Indian legends with
being responsible for the fisrt American
homes, and also for woman's first i'm
portant economic contribution to
society in North America.
Fixed places of habitation near the
field where the spirit Grain was
planted and cared for were necessary.
and to these primitive homes the
hunters returned from their quest of
game. 1t was here that the ripened
grain was stored to be dispensed for the
family needs and in hospitality during
the winter months, and the erstwhile
rowing Indians thus became home
makers.
Women planted, cared for and
gathered the grain. This labor was
not compulsory, but was assumed as a
privilege and as a rightful share of re-
sponsibility to Offset the continuous
labor of men in providing meats, and
skins for clothing by the chase. It was
also the privilege and duty of Indian
women to prepare corn. for food in
palatable and nourishing forms.
Hominy and succotash are Indian
dishes, as are many Of the preparations
of corn fnealin use to-day.
To these primitive people, nourish-
ment was the first considara tion and
the strongest possible recommendation
Of the value of corn, the nations most
economical food, is that the travelling"
ration of the Iroquois, carried on hunt
ing expeditions and by war parties, con-
sisted of parched corn and maple sugar
pounded and sifted fine. A quarter
of a pound of this sugared meal diluted
in a pint of water was a meal, and
served to maintain bodily vigor.

Cattle receipts at leading central

steers opened weak to Csc lower.
Feeder buyers purchased medium to
good beef steers from $3.50 to $7.85
on Monday, with a good grade Of heavy
steers to packers at $3.50. Bulk OF
common and medium grade steers sold
from $3.50 to $7.25, with common fed
steers in fair flesh covering as low as
$500. Butcher cows and heifers were
never scarcer, and good kinds are sell

though heavy females are being dis
eliminated against. Very few light

poses, are selling below $500, with
good kinds easily earning $500 to

If you wake up some morning, in the

ceding an attack upon New Ulm, but
consider that it may be the employees
of the local postoffice indulging in a
new and somewhat ovel pastime,
that, of target practice.
Arsenal Enroute.
For, according to Postmaster Fred
Pfaender, miniature arsenal, con-
sisting of .45-caliber revolvers and
sawed-off shotguns, together with the
necessary ammunition for these nipple
ments of warfare, is enroute to New
Ulm from the War Department at
Washington, D. c., shipped here by
arrangement with the Postoffice De-
partment for the purpose of providing
means of defense of Uncle Sans local
place Of business against would-be
'stick-up artists" and other bold bad
men in search of his shekels.
Safety FIRST Slogan.
Evidently, the Postofice Depart
ment is Of opinion that an ounce of
protection is worth a pound or more of
secret service work in fereting out the
pei petrators of postoffice robberies,
which have, of late, become quite a
frequent occurrency throughout the
country. The War Department, as
a result of the termination of our late
unpleasantness across the big pond,
has accumulated large supply OF
revolvers, sawed-off shotguns and am
munition and did not know what tokdo

upon the idea of turning it over to the

NO DAM ACROSS
MINNESOTA HERE
PLAN HELD IMPRAClTCABLE
BY JUDGES AT MANKATo
HEARING MONDAY.
DRAINAGE ,pis,y1R CT CONFINED
TO VALLEY LANDS ONLY.
PLAN RE-sURvEY.

There Win be no dam constructed
across the Minnesota river at New
Ulm as a part of the plan of impound-
ing the flood waters of this stream
which has been the bone of contention
in this section of the state for some
time. This decision was reached at
the adjourned hearing held in Man
kato, Monday, when the ten district
judges, who presided, unanimously
declared the dam project here as inn
practicable and suggested that some
other method Of controlling the flood
waters must be substituted.
Precludes Big Lake.
The action of the judges precludes
the creation of a huge body of water,
which would have extended from the
proposed dam below New Ulm a
distance of some Ia miles upstream,
about to Fort Ridgely. This artificial
lake would have caused a portion Of
the Riverside section of New Ulm, in
Guiding the property Of the Eagle
Roller Mill Co., to be submerged
during the flood stages in the river at
certain seasons of the year, thus re-
sulting in unreasonable damage being
done. It also would have flooded
valuable agricultural lands between
the bluffs along the valley.
District Is Organized.
The Minnesota Valley Conservancy
District was organized at the hearing
Monday, after all uplands had been
eliminated therefrom. The drainage
district as now constituted includes
only the valley lands proper, being il
most part lands lying between the
bluffs. AS result of these restrictions
and the elimination of the dam project
lat New Ulm, a re-survey Of the entire
valley will have to be made, and the
necessary funds for this work will b
raised by levying an assessment o
not to exceed 20 cents an acre agains
the benefited lands.

Ran Disorderly House.
During the past few weeks rumors
have been in circulation of the running
of disorderly house in this place of
business and Sunday night at 0 O. clock
Chief Harmening, assisted by Police
man Wagner and Groebner descended
upon the place and arrested the pro-
prietor under the charge of running
disorderly house. One two gallon
jug, three quart and two pint bottles
of moonshine was taken in the raid
and are being held as evidence by the
police. Monday afternoon at 4 O. clock
Mr.. Lindmeyer was arraigned before
Justice Henningsen and the case was
set for trial for Friday morning at 9
o'clock. AS Mr.. Lindmeyer is already
under a state bond he was not required
to furnish any further bond.
Run Into Lamp Post.
| Anding Anderson, and Herbert
Mathews, two ditchers working near
Lafayette, were brought before Justice
Hogen Monday morning charged with
drunkenness and after pleading guilty
to the charge were each fined $40 and
costs amounting to 1925. They were
taken in tow by Policeman Ed. Wagner
Saturday night after they had run
their car into the lamp post on the
intersection of first south and Mime

FARM CROPS
MARKETED BEST
THROUGH LIVESTOCK

Livestock feeding has apparently
paid fair margin above actual feed
costs during the past four years in
Huron County. Figures just sum-
married. for the fourth consecutive
year for that county on a group of
representative farms show that
while some years livestock men gen
orally have lost money, as an aver
age a comfortable margin has been
made over prices at which the feeds
fed could have been sold, says Prof
R. F. Taber of the Ohio State Uni
versity.
This comparison is made only on
the basis of direct returns from
feeding, no labor for the handling of
stock or other production costs, OF
of manure values being considered
In making the calculation, fair, aver
age farm values for farm raised
grain and roughages as well as pas
ture were used.
The average feed cost per COW OF
horse or their equivalent has beer
$97 per head per year, while the re.
turns on each dollar of feed fed have
been $1.20. Statistics show that feeC
prices have, compared with pre-
war prices, averaged during the 4.
year period about 35 per cent higher
than prices of livestock and livestock
products. This showing of the live.
stock business under such adverse
circumstances is all the more salts
factory when it is realized how es.
sential it is to the maintenance OF
soil fertility and the most efficient
employment of labor on the farm
that goodly portion of farm-raiseC
feeds be fed to livestock on the farm

ONCE WORTHLESS
ORCHARD NOW
PRIDE OF OWNER

A crop of fine fruit in 1920, bring
ing more than $2100, was the product
of 400 tree orchard of VIM. Frame
Waynesville, Warren County. Mr.
Frame intended cutting down this
orchard in 1919. He happened to
attend an orchard demonstration be-
ing held in his neighborhood during
the spring of 1919, and decided to
put into practice some of the things
suggested by the orchard specialist
from the Ohio State University.
The first year (1919) he fertilized
and sprayed and he noticed a marked
improvement in the trees. That fall
he secured the first good samples of
Ben Davis, Smith Cider and North
western Greetings that the orchard
had produced for years past.
The second year he pruned, fertil-
lied and sprayed, and the orchard
responded with a fine crop of fruit
that was sold at the orchard for from
$1.50 to $500 per bushel.
The transformation in this or
chard has been so marked that it
has become we'll known to Warren
County buyers, and they are glad
to take all the apples at the orhard.
Altho Mr.. Frame was about to
destroy the orchard three years ago
he is now an enthusiastic orchardist
and will not even consider selling
the orchard.

STATE Civil SERVICE
EXAMINATION

Twenty examinations are called by
the state civil service commission
for July 26, 27 and l28 and with pub
lication of the official bulletin, an
nouncement is made that none of
these positions will be effected by
the reorganization of the various
state departments, and also that va
cancies' exist and appointments will
be made as soon as the eligible list
is prepared.
The examination include steno-
graphers, typists, accountants, book
keepers, clerks, engineers, examiners
penal matrons, district superinten-
dent of nurses, nurses, assistant su-
perintendent of state fish hatcheris,
statisticians, supervisor of the boys
industrial schools, field veterinarian,
laboratory assistants and appraised
clerks.
Because of reorganization it is ex-
pected that there will be a number
of vacancies, and there probably
never was better time to secure a
good state position than at present.
Copies of the bulletin and application
blanks will be sent free upon request
to the commission at Columbus.

RED CROSS REGION
AL CONFERENC

Speaking on "The Ex-Service
Man, the First Responsibility of the
American Red Cross" at the Red
Cross regional conference in Fremont
Rev. f. J. Lankenau of Henry
County declared that chapters should
not neglect single opportunity for
helpfulness to the men who made
tne greatest sacrifices in the defense
of their country.
Miss Esther Hardy of Fremont
said every child in her county was a
member of the Junior Red Cross and
that each was receiving training in
service that would mean their de-
velopment into the most helpful
citizens in the years to come.
j. w. Jacoby, chairman of Marion
County Chapter, who presided at the
conference, urged that the regional
gatherings be made a permanent
part of the Red Cross program in
view of the opportunity afforded for
frank discussion of chapter pro-
blems and an interchange of ideas in
meeting the outstanding needs of the
community.
A strong appeal for the production
of conservation garments ror the
thousands of destitute children of
Central and Eastern Europe was
made by Miss Virginia Wing OF
Lake Division headquarters, Cleve-
Hand, who is in charge of volunteer
service.
Starr Cadwallader, manager OF
Lake Division, which now embraces
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Vir.
ginia and Kentucky, summed up the
purpose of the conference and prais
ed the spirit which underlay the dis
.cussions, one of unselfish and far
seeing service.
Regional meetings, which CLOSED
in Ohio with the conference here
will be held in the remaining states
of the division.

Monday July Fourth will be a
great day in Wauseon. There are
many reasons why Wauseon should
celebrate the Fourth:
In the first place it has been good
many years since Wauseon celebrat-
ed Fourth of July anniversary In
the second place Wauseon has rea-
son to celebrate because of the fact
that so many of the boys who an
swered the summons of their coun-
try in the World War are back
again with US. Their record in ser
town and county from which they
went. AS community we owe it
to these Boys of ours to fittingly
celebrate the National Birthday and
in so doing express our appreciation
of their splendid service to the cause
of Freedom. In the next place, it
is these boys themselves, the boys
of the American Legion under whose
auspices this celebration is to be
held and certainly every whole heart
ed American will want to cooper
ate with these boys in making this
celebration a success in every way
| These members of the American Le-
gion are anxious to secure the equip
ment and the home for their organi-
zation so much needed; this is one
way they are striving to get these
things None of the Legion Boys
are rich, many of them have found it
difficult to find employment that will
more than meet their bare living ex-
penses. They want to help their
less fortunate comrades, they want
to keep alive among themselves and
all their fellow citizens the spirit
of true American patriotism. What
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the organization of Spanish Ameri-
can War Veterans has meant in the
the years past and in the present;
the American Legion will mean to
this country in the years to come.
1t is an organization to be fostered
and supported by every thinking
American citizen. The fourth of
July celebration in Wauseon will
give the citizens of this town an op-
portunity to cooperate with the local
Post of the Legion; The last reason
that we have to mention, to our
minds a very important reason, is
that on this date the Civil War vet
Grams, Spanish American War Vet
Grams and their friends of this coun-
ty are to dedicate the long delayed
County Soldiers and Sailors Monu-
ment. Sincce February 18th 1912
those interested in this memorial
have been at work collecting funds
compiling the names of the soldiers
and sailors of the county. Now the
monument is completed and it is
fitting indeed that the citizens Of
the county gather here at the coun-
ty seat to reverently dedicate to the
memory of the "Boys in Blue" this
memorial of their patriotism an(
service.
Program of Dedicatory Exercises
The Dedication exercises will be
gin at 1:30 p. m. when parade will
be formed in front of the G. A. R
Hall on Fulton Street under the di.

GOOD WORK, WELL DONE

Lewis and Copeland, contractors
have completed the pavement of East
Chestnut Street and citizens gen.
orally are well pleased with the job.
'aThe best street pavement in town"
is the verdict one hears from those
who inspect the completed street.
Certain it is that Messers Lewis and
Copeland have spared no pains to
make the pavement strong and dur
able. Specifications called for eight
inches of concrete but the contractors
have exceeded the specifications in
the interests of a durable pavement
and the concrete is from nine to
twelve inches thick in many places.
The care taken in seasoning the
pavement to prevent cracking is an
other feature which will undoubted-
ly add much to the permanence of
this pavement. 1t is good honest
work and well done, the residents on
East Chestnut Street are to be con-
graduated and Messrs Lewis and
Copeland MERIT the gratitude and
appreciation of the citizens of the
town.
