Hiph School al Forbes.

The board of directors at Forbes,
held special meeting, August Q, and
decided Ia add great deal Of pride
and profit 10 their community by in
Producing the first year Of High
School work 20 those who finished
the eighth grade last year. This will
enable other rural graduates living
within the vicinity Of Forbes TO take
the first year Of High school work
this year without having 20 20 so far
from home.
There j. no better place in the coun-
Is for high school than 1t Forbes.
This can be attributed TO several reas-
ons. The most important one is the
fact that Forbes is located in the cen
ter Of a prosperous community there
by making il the social and eciucation-
al center for the surrounding com
munity.
One OF the first progressive move
mentS on the part Of the people Of
Forbes was the erection Of school
building In 1869. This Yves small
frame building 22x24 feet area. II has
long since been occupied as a resi-
dence. II was erected BY a Rev.
Bloomer, a protestant Methodist
church, and cost $500. The first
teacher was Lud Wyett, and the sec
pnd teacher was Chas, Courson, who
taught is70-72. He was succeeded by
VIM. Kezier, then VIM. Morrison. The
Rev. Bratcher, Of the U. b. church
taught two terms.
The present school building was
erected n ls7s-7s, at a cost of $1,000
It's first term in this building was in
charge OF their present fellow citizen,
A. G. Young, NJ. d., and present post
master; he was assisted by his wife.
The present Speaker Of Missouri's
House Of Representatives was the
school master in 1880, Mr.. O'Fallon
was assisted by Miss Belle Young.
After the Christmas season OFallon
resigned and Galen Anderson finished
the term. In 1881, ]. +. Campbell,
assisted by dies Clara Wilkinson took
charge, and on it hsI been going ever
since.

10 days. The court calendar also con-
tanned two criminal cases.

One of our readers recently wrote
us, asking that we publish what we
found to be the most popular and sue
cessful recipe for home brew. We have
carefully studied the various recipes
submitted by knowing ones" and have
eliminated all but the following, which
is called "Jackass Brandy: "Take
seven spools of barbed wire, one sack
OF tuleroots, 10 pounds of chewing
tobacco, one can of blasting powder,
five gallons of Cottonwood river water,
mix all ingredients together and cool
gradually for nine days and nights.
At the end of this time, set the CON
coction on ice while you dig your
grave. Then take one drink and run
for the hole. You will not need a
covering, as the Jackass Brandy will
cremate you"

trust business is so much under
the control of the trusts that money
invested in it does not have as good a
chance today as in the old days of
cut-throat competition. Eve know
that" the small investor may say, so
we are going to play safe by investing
in trust securities"
! But there is big joker there, too.
Trust securities are safe for the big
insiders but not for little men. The
insiders keep enough Of the stock sailed
away to control and then they use the
rest Of it to play horse with the market
to get small suckers biting we'll and
then to pull them in. There is no
way of forecasting the market move
ments of these trust stocks because
they flop around at the will of mani
pulators of stock and ndews.
These conditions are driving the
wiser heads to government securities
like the bonds of Minnesota or North
Dakota. Railroads are going to be
financed more and more by govern
ment bonds with the government re-
lending to the railroads. Big improve
ments, as they are needed, are going
to be made more and more through
government bonds.
Big industry has become sink-hole
for small capital and is going to find
it harder and harder to get suckers to
bite. The growth of state ownership,
on the other hand, is going to be fine
thing not only for farmer and worker,
but for the man who wants to put a
few dollars away at fair rate of in
terest and find the principal again
when he wants it.

that farmers had to pass the hat
around for the Todd County Tribune.
But the stock Of the farmers paper is
not held in escrow by banking syn
dicate as Minneapolis Tribune stock is.
The Todd County paper sold only
!$1,7O0 in stock before it started; so
it naturally has had some trouble in
meeting all bills. If anyone is looking
for safe bet, he can bet that the
Twin Cities bankers won't get the
Todd County Tribune.

friends" of Small Business.

Here are few ways, Mr.. Business
Man, in which Big Business has re-
Gently shown that it gives no thought
to your interests an d that it's politicians
consider you only as something to be
used:
l. The Cummins- Esch railroad act,
passed to allow big stock speculation
killing, has demoralized your business.
4 2. No effort was made to curb
trust profiteering and a great effort
was made to make the consumers be-
fieve that the retailer was responsible
for high prices. Many little business
men have paid fines or gone to jail.
And Congress knew well that the Lever
Act, supposed to curb the big pro-
fiteers, was no good for the purpose.
3. The Federal Reserve Board, by
calling loans in agricultural districts
as soon as harvest began, greatly
stimulated the panic which robbed
your customers of ability to do good
~ uSAfleSS Will yOO
4. Their politicians are ferociously
opposed to the State Bank of North
Dakota but they vote to submit an
amendment for rural credit bank in
Minnesota and have established one
in South Dakota. Why? Because
the Bank of North Dakota has power
to lend on warehouse receipts. That's
the business which the big fellows like
to have for themselves; it gives them
control of the market. Whereas, real
estate loans are handled mostly by
small bankers who don't count.
S. A good many of the trusts make
you pay certain price, wholesale, and
name retail price to the public, also;
the margin is too low to enable you to
make a fair profit, but they get a
bigger market and more profit at your
expense.
6. The special interest politicians
are shouting for repeal of the excess
profits tax, which you do not pay; for
reducing taxes on big incomes, such as
you don't have, and for a sales tax,
which will raise the deuce with your
business. With mail order goods pay
ing one turnover tax to three or four
on yours, passed on from manufac-
turer and jobber, you will be hard hit.
Z. Politicians have urged business
men to attack the League farmers
through circulating foul, silly lies, al
though the League never attacked
small business. The business men had
much to lose and nothing to gain by
following such leadership. When
business man is broken in such fight
he is thrown away like broken cane.
The big boot, which kicks the farm
ers, is also kicking you, because you
don't count in the special interest
COUNCILS any more than do the farmers
or the city workers.
Those who are getting the kicks
should stand together. The start
must be made sometime. We may be
little radical, but before you shy at
our program, note how radical the
farmers and workers problems are.

INVISIBLE ECLIPSE.

The total eclipse of the moon, which
was scheduled for Friday morning,
may have really occurred, but no one
in this vicinity can testify. thereto,
owing to the fact that thick rain
clouds piled between Luna and New
Ulm, preventing any possible check on
the astronomers assertion that the
moon was completely darkened by
the earth's shadow from 2:33 to sos
a. m. In view of this obscurity, no
one ventured an attempt either to
affirm or discredit the star-gaze1's
predictions. According to the sky
searchers, the eclipse began at 1857
p. M, Thursday, when the. moon
entered the penumbra, or outer shadow
OF the earth. The total eclipse ended
at 4:15 a. M, and by :32 a. m. Luna
was again free from all shadow. This
lost opportunity caused interested New
Ulmites and other residents of Mime
sofa to miss their last chance to view
a total eclipse for six years, according
to Prof. F. p. Leavenworth Of the
University of Minnesota, who predicts
partial lunar eclipse in 1928.

Points for Investors.

Conditions, which have made things
so hard for the farmers and city work
ers, have had bad effects also for small
investors. Many a stock worth $500
share year ago is now below $50.
Bonds which used to be gilt-edged have
lost also by reason of the business
situation and the interest rate.
