Var Memorials.

(The, writer of the following is an
Australian, who does not think much
of elaborate plans being made there
for fitting national war memorial.
We like to honor those among us who
have sacrificed in war, and yet, so
much of the war-memorializing is a
glorifcation of militarism If we
could honor the deeds and at the same
time curse the occasion, for them, the
proper balance would be obtained.
Editor.)
Yes, give us time to think a bit, that
we may yet devise
Some fit reminder of that red Satanic
sacrifice.
Yes, give us time to ponder out way
that will supply
The urge to think of those who far in
war-scarred countries lie.
1t needs lot of thought, we guess, to
adequately bring
To mind fit memorial for such
CHASTITY thing
AS war, that curse He'll brought to
-,.-- earth, thereon to redly rage,
And leave it's outcome to become a
CHASTITY heritage.
But in the meantime we shall have re-
minders quite enough
Reminders not in chiselled stone, but
made of human stuff
The legless and the armless men, the
crippled, blind, and ill,
The unemployed-th hopeless ones
and, last of all, the bill!

The death of William Grossmann, a
native of Linden township and for
many years resident Of Cottonwood

affairs of the nation one Of these days,
if the Lord spares him, or I'm no
prophet. But you don't have to take
my word for it alone. There are
Others who met him at Milton and
Harvard plenty of them right here in
Boston who know him best, and they
say the same thing more emphatically
than have.
They'll tell you he's a "go-getter,"
that he got everything he ever went
after-except wife. They'll tell you
he's "self-starter',, as we'll as "go-
getter."
"Jack'' MacNider is the most decor
ated man in America with the lone
exception of General Fershing, but
rarely wears the medals he owns.
And right here must say that you
have to be- 'go-getter" to get him to
talk about himself. About the only
story his most infinite frien have
been able to pry out of him is OF the
heroism of his aide-an 18-year-old
boy!
AS the youngster lay alongside him
in shell hole, shrapnel bomb burst
close to them and they were blown
some 10 or Is feet apart. Hurt,
kid?" asked MacNider when he picked
himself up "No, sir" said the Kid,
'I'm all right, and all day he followed
his commanding officer.
That night when they had reached
a place of safety the Kid tainted, and
on removing the youngsters coat,
MacNider discovered a deep wound
on his shoulder, which had evidently
been bleeding for hours as his shirt was
saturated with blood. "Why didn't
you tell me about this?" demanded
MacNider when he had revived the
boy. II couldn't let you go on alone,
sir,p said the Kid, and in tJack"
MacNider's eyes he became the biggest
hero of the war.
MacNider is tall and erect in stature
and in his large gray eyes you see his
inheritance of canniness from his
Scotch ancestry on his fathers side,
but it is softened by the humor of the
Irish from his mother's ancestral line.
He is so years old, but still has youth
full, almost boyish look about him,
despite the thinness of his wavy brown
hair, parted on the right.

Do 1t Right.

Sentiment for reviving the govern
ment grain corporation we stabilize
wheat prices next year as suggested by
A c. Townley is growing so rapidly,
that there is danger of the plan being
carried out badly by the politicians.
We must not only revive the grain
corporation, but we must revive it in
the right way, and we believe, all of
our readers will agree with Mr.. Town
ley's detailed advice. Here are his
points, which we should agitate for, as
we'll as for the revival itself.
/. The corporation must have full
power to buy grain from the farmers
and sell it to actual users.
2. The corporation must have full
power over elevators and other market
machinery it uses to compel reasonable
margins Of doing business.
3. Reasonable margins set for
millers and bakers. We must aid the
farmer by removing middle man pro-
fteering, rather than by hold-up of
the consumer. War regulations of this
kind were voluntary; so new legisla-
tion with teeth in it is necessary.
4. The corporation should charter
idle ships to take the grain direct and
at cost to Europe.
5. Instead of assd price, the
government should ae@ance to the
farmer minimum price and give a
warrant emitting the farmer to a share
in any further profit obtained.
6. Minimum price should be enough
to cover cost of production Of 80 to 80
per cent of wheat growers If world
conditions warrant higher price, this
higher price should be charged and the
profit divided among the producers.
Don't accept the plan and let the
politicians rob it of any of these
features. Every one of these things
is vital to your welfare. Demand all
of them and state them in any resolu-
tions.
New Ulm review., 1921-12-21
To Our Banker Friends.

Revival of the government grain
corporation is good medicine for the
Debated banker or the Debated farmer.
1t makes no practical difference if
A. C. Townley did write the prescrip-
tion. The big fellows can't stop what
they have started in time to save you.
We have been doing business under
your policies with results you can
hardly call successful. Suppose we
try little farmer policy for change.
The wide-awake farmers hand is al
ways out to welcome support for
measures Of real value to our common
people. We can forget lot of nom
sense that has has been peddled in the
last four years if we can get common
action from everybody on the interests
OF all honest folks now. What the
rmers want to tell our politicians in
w sshington will have greater weight
if all of us join in the telling of it.

By John F. Brady IN the Boston Post.
I'll say 'she's there forty ways from
the middle

I have not met a young man who i'm

OBITUA AIRY
HERMAND BEIsSMANN.

- tx =. Il
HERMAN D. sBEUssMANN.
Universal regret was manifested
when it became known Wednesday
morning that Herman D. Beussmann
had decided for himself to end his
earthly career. His passing out is
really tragic. He had recently sub
mitted to a third operation for some
intestinal trouble without gaining re-
lief and with the prospect that he had
to, submit to further operation S to keep
alive and having been unal le to sleep
for days and days, he must have been
brought to the point Of dispair and in
fit Of dependency decided to end it all.
When Mrs. Beussmann arose We'd
nesday morning at $50 and cane
down stairs she noticed an odor of gas
and thinking lere must be trouble
with the kitchen stove went directly
to that room and discovered Mr..
Beussrnann unconscious. After throw
ing open the doors she called Drs.
Fritsche and two.of them arrived with
in few minutes but Mr.. Beussmann
had at last gone to sleep, not to wake
up again. When DR.. Reineke arrived
at the house shortly after six o'clock
the body was still warm, but life was
extinct.
The deceased was born in the Town
of West Newton September "a, 1868,
as the son of Mr.. and Mrs. HI. H.
Beussmann, pioneer residents of this
community, and was therefore only
So years old when he died. After the
family had removed to New Ulm and
when deceased was only 13 years old,
he commenced work in his fathers
harness shop and continued there until
he4arrived at the age of %, years. He
then worked in his fathers hardware
store until he and his brother Henry
took over the hardware business and
conducted it from 1890 to 1901. When
the. State Bank was organized he be-
ca me one Of its officers and continued
as such until the year 1904 when, on
account of ill-health, he severed his
connection with the banking institu-
ton. For the past ten years he had
been practically an invalid.
Mr.. Beussmann was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary Limbach De-
cember 16, 1885. One daughter, Miss
Loida, who survives him, was born to
them. He is also survived by one
brother, Henry and three sisters,
Mrs. Anna Quense, Seattle, Wash.
Miss Lena Beussmann, and Mrs.
Emma Laudenschlaeger, New Uln.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon
with short services at the late home at
2 o'clock and with funeral services at
tie Congregational church, at 2:30
o'clock, Rev. Wheeler officiating. The
remains were laid to rest in the city
cemetery.
At the time of his death the deceased
was member of the Junior Pioneers.
Mr.. Beussmann was universally liked
and respected. He was Of a modest
and retiring disposition and never
knowingly hurt any ones feelings. : He
was kind and indulgent husband and
father, good neighbor and true
friend. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the family in
their sad bereavement.

IN SAN DIEGO
Centre Holds Secret Practice
on Stadium Field; Referee
and Judges Selected

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 24.-Whh
the arrival here tonight of the Uni
versity of Arizona football squad, the
local committee practically completed
final details of the game to be played
here Monday by the Wildcats and the
Centre College team.
That the stadium field will be at
least soft was practically assured, as
there were cloudy skies and little
wind to dry out the playing surface,
left soaked by recent rains. If there
is no RAIN between now and the
game, however, the gridiron will be
in good shape.
NJ. c. Evans of San Francisco. for
mer coach at Colorado University and
later at Stanford, was chosen referee
today. J. B. Klawans of San Fran
cisco, formerly OF the University of
Chicago, was appointed field judge,
and Mouney Pfefferkoorn of San
Diego. was made head linesman.
The Centre squad held secret prac-
ticeto day on the stadium field.

Few Hooking Valley Districts

Is Believed Passed

COLUMBUS. O., Dec. 24.-While a
decided falling in temperature late
this afternoon halted the alomst con-
tinuous rainfall during the last "a
hours, probably removing a threaten
ed general flood menace, the Hooking
Valley section tonight reported the
worst flod since 1907.
From Athens, reports tonight were
thant hundreds of families have been
forced from their hoems in the valley
between Logan and Hocking-Port, and
that half dozen villages were exper-
fencing the worst flood in almost a
decade. Still higher water tomorrow
is expected. No loss of life has been
reported.
Lancaster reported the high mark
of the 1913 flod passed and many
families driven from their homes in
that vicinity.
While the waters of the Ohio are
not expected to reach flod crest at
most Ohio points until tomorrow or
Monday, no serious flood stage is an
ticipated.

Nothing that any delegate could saw

not sufficient evidence of the ample

|RA|D MYSTERY
| Is CLEARED UP
BY Confession
Mexican Confesses to Nogales
Officers He and 8 Others
Killed Pearson and Wife
TO TRY SLVAS AGAIN
Admission of Guilt Is Made
by One Member of Band as
Other Suspect on Trial

NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 24.-Manuel
Martinez made a complete confession
tEis afternoon to county officers and
newspaper men here regarding the
killing of Postmaster and Mrs. Frank
Pearson during a raid on the post
office-store at Ruby, Ariz., last Au-
gust 26. He implicated eight other
men.
While he was making his confess
sion, the superior court jury here was
considering it's verdict in the case of
Placido Silvas, who was being tried
on charge of having murdered Post
master Pearson. County Attorney A.
II. DeRiemer said Silvas would be
tried again on a charge of having
murdered Mrs. Pearson.
Jury Dismissed
Shortly after Martinez compelled
his confession, Judge w. A. O,Connor
dismissed the jury, which then had
been considering the case from IL
tonight. The vote on The final bal
lot stood 10 for acqlittal, two for con-
yiction, the jurors said.
Judge O'Connor, it is understood,
feared that the jury would learn OF
Mariners confession, in which Silvas
was implicated, and wou.r re:urn a
verdict of guilty because of the con-
fession instead of returning a verdict
solely on the testimony presented in
court.
Martinez made his confession too
late for it to be used against Silvas.
Martinez, who is a native of Mex
leo, Is a naturalized citizen of the
United States. He was deported from
Mexico late this afternoon on orders
of President Obregon on the ground
that he was an undesirabel alien.
AS soon as he was put across the in
ternational line, ne was arrested by
Sheriff George White of this county,
and taken to the office of the county
attorney, where ne made his confes
sion.
Silvas Is Identified
He said three men went into the
store during the raid and that the rest
of the band remained on the outside
/ He said they got $3.50 in omeny anG
some other articles. They took the
stolen articles into Mexico and there
threw away United States posta
money orders they had secured, he
said.
Testimony given during Silvas' tria
by Mrs. Rosa Rodriguez and Mrs. Jose
Ortiz, state witnesses, that the bandits
passed their homes on the way to tn,
store, was corroborated by Martinezr
confession. Both women identified
Silvas as having been in the hand.
Martinez said that Silvas returned
to the American side of the border
the night of the raid, but that the 9th
ers remained in Mexico.
