Mrs. Fallein Writes.

Stratford Courier: Mrs. Hannah
Fallen, who has been missing and who
was located ten days ago in Los Ange-
les, California. has written to her
daughter, Mrs. +. n. Teander in Des
M0ines and her son, Ellis, at this place.
She states that she expects to be back
in Iowa about the, first of next month.
Mrs. J. II. Drug went to Los Angeles
one day last week and located her and
she accompanied Mrs. Drug home and
spent the night with her. The feeling
of genuine relief among her children,
brothers and many friends here that
she has been found and is in good
health can hardly be realized.

With this OrganiZa ton headed by a

stated. there should be no reason why
the Irvine manufacturers should object
to selling from two to four million
pounds of Irvine in a single order at
wholesale prices. On similar basis
could be purchased from
the mills and coal mines. The taking

The farmers are going into tn

movement to help solve one OF thu
greatest problems of the day, the farm
marketing problem.
Announcement has been made tina

brace all the United States, reaching
not only city jewellers but the rura

at go Michigan boulevard, Chicago

ing of the seed to the consumption by
the ultimate buyer. The films will not
seek to draw conclusions, but will lay
the facts before the public, and the
latter will be asked ''to take such steps
as their good sense points out"
Boost Trade Expansion Fund.
Part of the plan will be propaganda
to help the American Bankers asSOcia-
ton raise the proposed billion dollar
trade expansion fund, known as the
Foreign Trade Financing corporation.
According to its prospectus, the new
company has the cooperation OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture, state agricultural departments
and colleges, the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, the Grange movement,
and cooperative farming and market
ing associations, as well as the Ma
tional Dairy association.
Experienced motion picture directors
and producers and famous authors and
playwrights have been enlisted to pro-
dUce films that will be both instructive
aud interesting.
The initial work has been undertaken
by the Waukesha county corporation,
a farm organization of Wisconsin,
Which has agreed to bear the prelim-
mary expenses.
Harry f. Aitken, organizer of the
Triangle Film corporation, who was
responsible for THE Birth of a Ma
tion," will be associated with the new
company. Mr.. Aitken and his brother,
r. f. Aitken, own the Meadow Brook
farm, near Waukesha.
Tells Aims of Promoters.
This is exclusively an agricultural
movement in behalf OF the American
farmer and consumer" Mr.. Skinner
says. 1T will seek to reduce produc-
ton costs, raise production values, and
lower food costs.
1T will seek to eliminate the i'm
proper and useless 'in-between-ers.'
Il believe the whole problem of pro-
cuction and distribution is on the
threshold of solution by this new
method. We are on the verge of an era
that is to wipe out forever the clash Of
interests, and that will result in JUS
tice and economy, not only for the
farmer but for the consumer OF food
in the city"
1t is understood the first picture will
be started this week, and will deal
with the activities and work OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation. 1t
will be shown in churches, schools.

What's Exciting About Ellsworth?

Ellsworth News: After waiting
three weeks for pair Of pants from
Sears Roebuck, Ole Marcus was able
to go to Eagle Grove Monday to trans
act some business. Ben Henderson was
to have accompanied him but it took
him so long to get home to get his new
Overalls on that he missed the train,
thus leaving Ole to his own destruc-
ton, so to speak. Hon. Simon SOgard
had compassion on Ole and his new
pants so took him under his wing, so to
speak, as far as Webster City. Later
we understand that II. +. Rude intend
ed going with Ole to Eagle Grove and
in the meantime have a little friendly
chat with Mr.. Bonner, superintendent
Of this division OF the G.. 4 n. w. But,
alas, the price of oats went up one cent
and Mr. Rude did not recover from the
sudden shock until the train had gone.

long stretch OF more than eighty years,
said 90 me:

uiure comprehensive than that9 Could
any attitude towards life be drawer than
that? Isn't il the very quintessencc Of

with hard work, and whether we get

eating Of that. OF whether II solHs upon
our stomachs and gives us the bilious
dyspepsia that VIC call socialism and
anarchy, depends altogether on the
spirit which we bring 20 the meal. We
can make il either a feast or a famine.
We can rail az the destiny that east
our lines in hard places We can rage
because Others have automobiles, while
We have 20 walk We can be filed with
envy a those who are better of. We
can turn the whole lie into wormwood
and gall, that 50 embitters the very

our portion of poverty, and find in i
murh Of sweetness and goodness, macl

crave finer fare, we can still eat Will

The wife thinks shat marriage will be
one glad sweet song with n romantic
lover, who is always telling her how
beautiful and wonderful she is, and who
brings her violets, and feeds her on
candy, and spends his time trying to
amuse and please her.
The man finds out that even the most
lovey-dovey sweetheart is converted by
marriage into a prickly creature, all
feelings, and nerves and temper. He
also ascertaius that matrimony il an
expensive luxury that takes all and
httie more than man can earn.
The woman finds out that marriage
changes her husband from handsome
hero into an unappetizing stranger, who
S often unshaven and unshorn, and
whose principal indoor sport is knocking
her. She also finds that marriage has
brngght her sickness, and suffering,
and. eacri6ces OF which she has never
dreamed.
so the man is diSillusioncd with the
woman and the woman is disgfuntled
with the man, and they try TO find con-
solations for their disappointment on
shady pathways, and the result is dis
aster for everybody concerned.
How much better if they would eat
what was set before them, and ask no
questions. II they would ankle the best
Of each other, and the situation, and try
TO Forget that they ever had a sweet
sooth, OF thought that marriage would
be aii pie.
Al Of us make mistakes as we 20
| through the world. We are blind and
stupid, and we blunder into pitfalls. We
foolish and eredulous, and easily hood
winked. We are careless, and inexpert
in our work.
Some of Us have intelligence enough
TO acknowledge our mistakes, ano
profit by them, and to ccept criticism
gratefully and learn from it. Other
never acknowledge their errors. They
always blame Others for their failures
and spend their time bewailing thu
victims they have been to circumstance
