'I've only taken two bottles of the
medicine but am already feeling like

Night Policeman Thompson was
keeping watch in the railroad yards
Saturday night, when he saw man
and woman approach a car, the wo-
man carrying a sack. When they
caught sight Of the officer, the pair
hastily retreated and were followed
to the Shelrud house.
A watch was kept of the place and
the occupants were soon discovered
moving packages from the house and
secreting them in straw stack.
Later Shelrud was arrested and the
premises searched, and the follow
ing articles were brought to light
case of eggs, two cases of mince
meat, half a cream can full of shell
ed peanuts, a cream can and gunny
sack full of tapioca. case of baked
beans, part of a case Of catsup,
crate of smoked meats, two boxes of
soap, box of cheese, two cases of
pinento cheese, 800 pounds of flour
and ten jars of tobacco.
Both Shelrud and his mother were
in jail yesterday. Officers reported
that the former had made confession
to a series of thefts extending over
five years. Up to late hour yes
terday neither of the accused parties
had been brought into court for
hearing .-Pipestone Star.

The annual reports now being publish
ed in large numbers reveal how Sc
verely profits dwindled during the
second half of 1920. The carefully
kept statistical records index num-
bers-show how sharply raw materi-
al and whole prices have collapsed.
Retail prices have also, if somewhat
tardily, joined the downward process

Of course, falling prices and falling
wages are not pleasant for the sellers
and the wage earners; but how on
earth was the cost of living to be re-
duced unless prices and wages came
down? At the moment we are in the
throes of transition. Instead of be-
coming panicky over it, we should take
a broader and longer view, and thus
recognize that we are moving in the

In the arrest of Ole Shelrud, aged

aged seventy years, and the finding
of a large quantity of groceries,

Aren't we little childish? Last
year we were all clamoring for low
er living costs. Now that we are
getting them we are still more dis
satisfied! / wonder how we imagined
the cost of living could be brought
back towards normal levels? Many
of us talk and act as if we expected
the cost Of living to fall without prices
or wages falling! By for the heav-
lest item of cost in the production of
goods is labor; labor constitutes usu-
ally from one-half to three-fourths of
the total price. Therefore, we should
have realized that prices could not

Uncle Sans Almanac.

New York Herald: The day of the
farmer who planted his crops by the
almanac which hung on it's hook near
the clock between the pantry and the
door leading to the back kitchen has
passed.
The newspapers and bulletins from
agricultural colleges keep today's
farmer up-to-date, or perhaps he has a
son who is graduate of one of the
colleges which have done so much
to make the farm pleasant and profit
able. He may have taken a short
course himself and have knowledge
of soil analysis and fertilizers that
his grandfather would have given his
best pair of cowhide boots to possess.
But whether Of the new or of the
old vintage the sentiments in the
agricultural almanac for 1921 issued
by the United States department of
agriculture will tickle his risibilities.
This publication does not contain some
of the useful information the old-tim-
ers did, such as "About this time
look out for squalls" nor the entry so
dear to the boy with the copper-toed
boots and new pair of skates which
read "Heigho for skating" opposite
certain date in February. The fol-
lowing is one of the best sentiments
the new almanac can boast of and it
ought to be pasted over the hearth of
every farmer and stock raiser in the
Union: "The owner of a scrub bull
should have a leather medal-made
from the bulls hide"
The new editor of Uncle Sans al
manac says Beware Of false prophets.
Don't plant by the moon; get the best
seed, and prepare the seed bed, then
plant when soil and moisture condi-
tons are right" That sort of advice
should fill every granary and smoke
house in the United States.

''By Their Fruits Ye
Shall Know Them

AS Lincoln said of the common peo-
pie, so, we believe, it may be truth
fully said of the small towns: eff
the Lord had not liked them, he would
not have made so many of them" for
the Lord certainly so made man that
man finds it necessary to have great
many small towns.
The book "Main Street. by Sinclair
Lewis, has probably created greater
sensation than any similar publication
since David Harum." Sinclair Lew
is was born and raised in Sank Cen
ter, Minnesota. Edward Moves Wes-
colt, author of David Harum," was a
small town banker to his dying day.
If the two men capable of writing the
two most widely read books during
the past twenty-five years were from
small towns, certainly unless civiliza-
ton in this country is a myth, the men
from small towns are not all what
Gertrude Anterior finds them to be
from reading "Man Street." viz: "Sor-
did, mean and petty, vulgar, common,
unambitious, backbiting, ill-educated,
suspicious, SNUG conceited and vicious
people who 'chew their cuds from
birth till death, and regard life with
a large bovine gaze" Ugh! We
hope Gertrude felt better when she
got that aft her mind.
A few years ago Senator Dolliver
of Iowa, won great enthusiasm from
audiences all over this country, when
delivering his beautiful "Eulogy of
Mckinley" In that lecture or speech,
he stated that he had taken the
who's Who In America" for that
year and looked up every man in New
York City who was considered prom
inent enough to be entitled to place
in the book. He found that just one
only one-of them was born there.
That one was Theordore Roosevelt, !
and Dolliver said Roosevelt went west
and lived there long enough to get all
the city out of his system.
How many men of our history,
whom we delight to honor, have been
born and raised in cities? Of all our
presidents, just two were born in CT
ties, Roosevelt and Taft. How many
men who go from the country to the
city and patiently, consistently and
fairly beat out their bred competitors
in the great struggles staged there? |
How many of them, when they have
reached satisfactory success, do not
buy country homes where they may
spend their declining years amid the
scenes of environment that inspired
their early efforts and ideals?
"By their fruits We shall know
them"
Long after dark colored bugs crawl
beneath the monuments over Sinclair |
and Gertrude, will Goods great out of
1oors," the country, continue to send
forth those "fruits" such as have led |
and will lead civilization until it |
reaches "the sunlit SUBMITS of the

crush ideals, destroy in individuality,
and create Anarchists. The country
creates morality, courage, hope, and

The Anglo Russian trade agreement.

Of the London newspapers this morn

in which Sir Robert s. Horne, presi-

Leonid Krassin. the Soviet representa-
tive. that Bolshevik agitation in India
must cease forthwith ''if the good faith

Both the Daily Telegraph and the
Morning Post express profound amaze
ment Mt the government having signed
the agreement before this condition was
fulfilled. The Morning Post appeals
to Parliament to save Great Britain
from dishonor by refusing to ratify "this
deplorable transaction" The news
paper also calls attention to the fact
that no reparation Is exacted in the
agreement for the murder and III trcat-
ment Of British prisoners in Russia"
