Help Your Local Paper

Don't make fun of your local paper.
It has possibilities of being as good as
any in the country-and remember
that it reflects the community in which
it is published, and 1t is the one pro-
duct that goes to far places bearing
the town trade mark. IL deserves the
best you can give of active support
and sympathetic understanding.
Give the editor news, whether il
benefits you or not,
Don't ask him to print it on the
front page and just the exact way
you handed il in.
Don't worry lest the editor makes
too much money. IL he's prosperous
he'll be foolish enough to give his
community a better paper; that's an
editors ambition--that's why he en-
cages in the publicity business.
Tell him when he has a good paper.
You are willing to congratulate your
preacher on a good sermon, and your
merchant on an attractive window
display. The editor is no less CRATE
full for word of praise.
Make it a point to visit the print
shop and learn of its difficulties and
complexities. At least that will give
YOU core charitable attitude. The
paper should not be the product of the
editor solely, but of all those who are
interested in it as friends, contribut-
ors, readers or advertisers.--South-
land Farmer.

FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW
Rev. and Mrs. Eijakrud Will Leave
Next Wednesday

After thirty-two years of continu-
Gus residence in hits community, Rev.
and Mrs. Eikjarud will leave their
home, friends and pleasant surround
ings, next Wednesday, for new home
in the great City of New York, where
the people are all strangers and the
conditions so different as to the home
life.
When M. and Mrs. Eikjarud came
to this country, they went to Westby,
where Mr.. Eikjarud became chaplain
under Rev .Halverson and assisted him
four or five years or until Halverson's
charge was divided, when Eikjarud
became pastor over the northern part,
comprising congregations at Fish
Greek Ridge, North Coon Prairie, Port
land, Brush Greek and Skogdalen. A
fine parsonage was built in Cashton
and Mr.. and Mrs. Eikjarud came here
to reside about twenty-six years ago.
In New York Rev. Eikjarud will be
at the head of the immigration mis-
sion work. He is a fit man for the
place and will see that all Lutheran
immigrants are properly taken care
of. His high standing in the Luther
an church of America guaranteed the
poor immigrant proper protection af-
ter landing and until they are safely
started on their journey from New
York.
Several farewell parties have been
given In honor Of Mr.. and Mrs. Elk
iarud. and after his farewell sermon
at the Melby church last Sunday a
handsome purse was given the esti-
mable eouple.-Cashton Record.

Market and crop conditions in this
section are SO nearly at standstill
that there is not much of Importance
to report. From one who has ridden
through the growing section to the
north of US it is learned that num-
Der of growers have been taking a
small portion of the hanging crop
from the shed, and the condition usu-
ally is quite satisfactory.

through E. NJ. Hubbell, received car

buying movement started last week on
small scale has about dwindled out
and was confined to one or two firms.
Reports received of nine crops pur-
chased around Westby show only two
prices paid, namely 20 and &c and Is
and &c. The same firms which started
buying in Vernon county at the same
time through another agent bought
about % acres in Trempealeau county
and the price ranged around 20 and &c.
Other buyers are reported to have rid

districts but made no dip into the buy
ing movement. Tobacco in Trempeal-
eau county is reported to be curing
very satisfactorily.

A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. II is almost certain
to be needed before the winter is over
and results are much more prompt
and satisfactory when it is kept at
hand and given as soon as the first in
dication of cold appears and before
it has become settled in the system.
There is no danger in giving it to
children as it contains no opium or
other harmful drug.

Soviet Economic Policy.

THE motto Of the economic policy adopted
by the Soviet government is: Communism
means the increase Of production for the general ben
eft combined with the prevention of exploitation for
general protection" The primary purpose of this
description of the policy is to allay the fear OF
theoretical Communists that Lenin had thrown over
the principles for which the revolution was fought
for an l-disguised kind of capitalism. In explaining
the attitude of the Soviet government toward foreign
capitalists in Russia, Krassn, the minister OF trade.
laid down four guiding principles.
In the first place, the Soviet government does not
recognize the right of ownership in goods or fac
tories in Russia This applies to both foreigners and
citizens Those who formerly owned plants or
mines are in the position as other concession
aires though some exceptions may be made in the
case of concerns which have continued to operate
during the revolution Second, the Soviet govern
men does not recognize any legal obligations OF for
eign debts but it is willing to negotiate on consoli-
dation basis in like France. Third foreigners
operating in Russia will be permitted to import ma
chinery and export produce and goods but the whole
matter OF import and export remains in the hands OF
the government. Fourth, the concessions will be in
the form OF lease on royalty basis, to be paid in
cash or in products. = - ''' wv. ''5'

government to increase production and to encourage

Politics and the Mark.

THE recent sensational decline in the German
L mark taken in connection with the assassina-
ton of former Minister Erzberger and the opposi-
ton of the reactonary Bavarian government to the
central government of Berlin, is regarded in
of the political circles of Europe occasion for
alarm for the stability of the republican government
in Germany. The theory which is advanced is that
there are certain powerful financial groups in Ger
many whose sympathies with the monarchsts,
which are deliberately attempting to force down the
mark until it has no value thus driving the govern
ment into bankruptcy. This maneuver would, of
course, make it impossible for the Wrth cabinet

reactionaries to control of the government,
bring considerable profit to, the promoters of this
scheme. and CONSERVATION and all sorts of diff
cultes for the allies.
In certain quarters in Germany the decline in the
mark is being used as an argument of another sort.

heavy purchases of foreign currences which resulted
in very decided fall in the mark Each successive
payment necessitating the purchase of foreign
