CHIEF EXECUTIVES AT PLAY

 Mir. Wilson, though at one time a very good walker, was never keen oil games. with the one exception of lawn tennis. He played sound game of lawn tennis. He is good mechanic and has on occasion shown that he could drive a locomotive.
 The late Mir. Roosevelt was by far the most athletic man who ever sat in the presidential chair of the United States. Some of his featS were extra ordinary. So lately as 1909 he rode 9S miles In r. hours over slashy Nir- ainian roads. He never stopped any where for more than ten minutes, eX- cept once at midday. for lunch and to rest his horse.
 He was a skillful boxer and fine teucer. Some eighteen years ago he received bad wound over the eye in a fencing bout. The button of his op- ponents foil broke off.

GAIN AND LOSE POPULARITY
Words Travel In Cycles, Speakers and Writers Dropping Into the Mode
 of the Moment.

"AlloCation." said the wordmonger, "is word that is being given con- siderable prominence. 1t became popu- lar during the war in connection with ships and loans. The 'allocation' of shipping and the 'allocation' of loans came to be current phrases. Not long ago the senate called on the President for information as to how he had al located certain funds. In a recent newspaper story about an operatic benefit in one of the big cities the newspapers said that the allocation of boxes Is to be based on the size and date of the contribution
 'Allocation' Is so closely allied to 'allot,' assign and 'apportion' that the shipping and treasury authorities might just as well have said the allotment of ships and the apportIon- ment' of funds or loans. But words come Into fashion and writers and speakers fall into or fall for the pre- vailing mode in words as some per sons do for the prevailing colors in socks or necktieS and the prevailing style in haircutS says the Washing ron Star. In the 'olden timeS'-thar Is, when grandfather was in business aIlocation' had somewhat of run as financial word and one could often hear and see the phrase 'allocation of the shares of the company.

Back to the Soil.

It begins to appear that the 'back
to the farm" movement has started
and that the strong trend of popula-
ton from the country to the city
which was manifested since the be-
ginning of the war has been checked,
if not reversed. The Department of
Agriculture reports that the farm sit
uation is decidedly easier. In the
South there is a surplus of labor,
while from the West it is reported
that the supply is ample and that
wages are considerably lower than
last year. Reports from other sec
lions indicate that the farmers will
have no labor problem to worry them
this year.
These conditions indicate that many
thousands of families who left the
farms recently and moved to urban
centers, attracted by higher wages and
by the allurements Of city life, are go
ing back to the tilling of the SOIL
They have found that life in the city

Quit Lenine
or Unions
TEAR UP YOUR CARDS OR
CEASE PREACHING BOLSHE-
VISM" is ORDER.

Oscar Nelson, vice-president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor recent
ly squelched soviet propaganda at
the regular meeting of the federation
in Musicians hall.
Without nincing his words, Mel
son told protagonists of the Lenine
philosophy to either tear up their I'M
ion cards and sever their association
from the trades union movement, Or
cease preaching the creed of bolshe-
vism and red revolt. Nelson's ire was
aroused by Gustav Frankenthal, bust
ness agent for the machinists union,
during a discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY
of opposing bills now pending in
Springfield which labor leaders regard
as hostile to the labor movement
Delegates Frank Lee declared that
men of the labor movement deserved
any detrimental legislation that was
passed because of their effort to elect
enough legislators to control the law
making bodies. He added that the
more obnoxious and oppressive such
legislation was, the more he would be
pleased, because, he said, the work
ing class would never do anything
worth while for itself until it was
goaded into action by tyranny and OPP
preston.
"Since the first man walked this
earth there has been a labor problem
and until the last man leaves it there
will still be labor problem to solve"
said Nelson. 'The best minds of the
age have sought solution for it in
vain. Any man who can stand here
and say he has solution for it is
liar. He is trying to muddle by his
twisted reasoning the minds Of the
delegates. / repeat that propagan-
dists of the soviet have no right to ac-
cept any Of the benefits which have
been won by organized labor"

Asa Wallace
Sells Standard
FAIRFAX PAPER PURCHASED BY
H. SHERWOOD, FORMER
BIRD ISLAND EDITOR.

A deal of interest to the people Of
Fairfax and territory and to the news
paper fraternity of Renville county
was closed at Fairfax last week when
H. C. Sherwood of Sank Center pur-
chased the Fairfax Standard and the
entire plant from Asa NJ. Wallace, al
so of Sank Center.
Mr.. Sherwood was formerly edi-
tor of the Bird Island Union, but sold
his interests in that paper in 1918, af-
ter which he moved to Sank Center
where he spent year associated with
Mr.. Wallace. Afterwards he install
led a job plant in that city and was
at the head of that until he disposed
Of this business to Mr.. Wallace in
the deal for the Standard.
Editor Sherwood takes charge of the
Stanard April 10Th but will not be ac-
tive on the paper until June. In the
meantime he will close up his bust
ness affairs at Sank Center. Editor
Cliff A. Neff who has had charge Of
the Standard for the past two years
will continue as editor until the arriv-
al of Editor Sherwood. Thereafter
Mr.. Neff will have charge of the me-
chanical department of the newspaper.
Mr. Sherwood together with his eff
cient helper will be able to give Fair
fax and territory very excellent pa
per.
In this deal the newspaper interests
of Asa NJ Wallace ,one of the best
known newspaper men in the state, in
Renville county will cease. Mr.. Wal
lace has been in many of the hard bat
ties that the newspaper men of this
county have had to fight and he was
always found four square on the right
side. We regret that he will have no
further financial interests in the couli-
ty but we feel that he will continue
the many other bonds that tie him to
the newspaper fraternity of Renville

Gibson Banker
Kills Himself
VIM. Il. GUGISBERG'S BODY
FOUND IN HIS CAR NEAR CLEAR
LAKE-SHOT GUN USED.

The body of VIM. III. Gugisberg,
well known Gibbon banker and bust
nessman, was found in his own car
near Clear Lake about five miles
south of Gibbon, on Monday Of this
week. The unfortunate man, appar-
entity met death at his own hand. The
shotgun which, it seems, he had used
had been touched off with stick
which was found in the machine. When
his body was discovered the engine of
the car was still running. From ap-
pearances it seems that Mr. Gugis-
berg had driven out to the farm which
he owned and stopped near Clear Lake,
some distance from the farm place.
The man who operates the place
thought it peculiar that the car should
be standing at the spot for such
length of time and went down to in
vestigate, it is reported. He found
the body of his landlord crumpled in
a heap in the car and everything indi-
Gated suicide. He notified the auth
critics at Gibbon and county officials
were soon on the spot
Business cares, it is thought, caused
Mr.. Gugisberg to commit the rash
act. He had an ideal family of wife
and three children who are left to
mourn his sudden death. He was also
man of generous means, it is be-
ieved, but the cares and the struggles
that befall everybody in these times
of business depression, probably prov
ed too great for him and be broke
down under the strain.
All who knew him speak in good
terms of Mr.. Gugisberg. He was a
dependable business man and had ex-
tensive business interests.-Franklin
Tribune.

is not one round of pleasure, but that
it has it's vexations, too. Higher
rents, higher cost Of food and fuel
and other problems which confront
the urban dweller make the free and
Independent life of the country more
attractive.
If this 'back to the farm" move
ment continues and assumes large pro-
portions it will have a powerful effect
upon the economic life of the nation.
With farm labor plentiful at reason
able wages the production of crops can
be accomplished at fair cost, which
will insure cheaper food to the popu-
lace. And the trend to rural COM
munities will relieve the congestion in
the cities and thus help to solve the
housing situation.-Was Post.
