The "Fairy Rinus" of the Field,

Green circles in pastures or mead
owlands were once thought to be
the scene of midnight revels Of the
fairies. But the rational and scien-
tific explanation Of the phenomenon
is that the rings are caused by the
growth of the subterranean mycali-
um or fungi, which radiate outward
to find fresh soil or nourishment. The
circles are bare because the mush-
room has exhausted the fertility of the
earth so that grass cannot grow, but
as soon as the fungi begin to decay the
ground becomes fortified by the rich
heterogeneous products of decomposition,
and tile grass grows greener than ever.

This was theory held by Rev. 7. r.
Nautilus. who was born In 1866 and died
In 1884. He held that population tends
to multiply faster than its means Of
subsistence can be, made to do. and
that when this occurs, the lower or
weaker classes must suffer from lack
of food; that unless an increase Of
population be checked by prudential
restraint poverty is inevitable, and
that the multiplying of the population
will be checked by poverty, vice or
some other cause of suffering.

Drawer That viii Not Jam.

A new anti-friction roller for furni-

by the Scientific American as a sim
pie contrivance with cylindrical
steel roller which sets in a circular
frame that fits perfectly into a five-
eighth inch auger hole and has a
fiange that holds the roller one-six-
teenth inch above the surface. The
device is designed for use as bearing
for dresser drawers, extension tables
and other articles of furniture that
frequently cause trouble and give an

RELIGIOUS Competition.

DR.. Lyman P. Powell gives some ex-
amples of the lengths to which petty
times carry men. "A visitor in a
certain town which had four churches
and adequately supported none asked
a pillar of one poor, dying church,
'How's your church getting on? Not
very well,' was the reply, but, thank
the Lord, the others are not doing any
better" - The Christian Register

POLISHING Vanished Floor.

To polish vanished floor, rub
well with equal quantities of beeswax
and turpentine. Another method is to
take equal parts of olive oil and
spirits of turpentine, wet soft cloth
with these, rub the wood hard, then
rub with a dry cloth. This is also
good for black walnut furniture and
sewing machines.

Hilton Plans Brief
in T0Wnley Appeal
Nonparty Leaders Charge Many Err
rors in Trial for Espionage at
Which Leader Was Convicted

Attorney General Clifford L. Hill
ton and assistants in his office are
preparing the states brief in the
case of, A. C. Townley and Joseph
Gilbert whose appeal from their cop
viction in Jackson county, June IL,
1919, is before the state supreme
court. Briefs for the defense were
filed December II and the states
brief is to be filed within the next
two weeks.
Townley and Gilbert, then both
leaders of the Nonpartisan league,
were indicted for conspiring to vio-
late the state law against i,terfer-
ence with enlistments. They were
convicted before Judge E. C. Dean,
who denied their motion for new
trial, and sentenced each to serve six
months in Jail. The defendants brief
alleges more than 100 reasons for
the granting Of a new trial. Among
them it contends that the verdict
was contrary to law, that it was not
JUSTIFIED by the evidence, that Judge
Dean erred in not segregating wit
nesses, in not allowing separate
trials, and in not allowing Townley
to address the jury as his own at
torney, after he had refused to take
the stand as witness. .#
The appeal also challenges valid
ity of the state espionage law, but it
was affirmed recently by the United
States supreme court in another
case against Joseph Gilbert, appeal
ed from Goodhue county, under
which he is to serve year in Jail
The record in the Townley and Gil
bert case is voluminous covering
1864 pages.

new wheat was ahead drew special at
tention to the fact that there was no
diminution apparent in the movement
of old wheat, and that the northwest
markets as well as those in the south
west were receiving much more grain
than a year ago. This situation in the
final week of the old crop year was
taken to indicate need of caution ever
in case the movement of new wheat
should only be of normal volume for
the season. Under such circumstances,
continuation of adverse weather for
growth northwest and for harvesting
southwest failed to stimulate buying.
On the other hand, the economic out
lcok was regarded by many as a bear
ish factor and with threatened strike
of elevator employees tended to increase
selling pressure.
Abnormally heavy stocks in sight
did good deal to force lower prices
both for corn and oats.
Provisions during most of the day
averaged lower in sympathy with grain
and hogs.
