To Have Ellison White Lyceum.

~ Aho'N LhDoh- w NIT LN NCuUus
The Ellison White Lyceum
and Chautauqua Association has
contracted for three features in
Cottonwood under the auspices
of the Cottonwood High School.
These entertainments begin
November Doth in the local
theater with a program by the
Freeman Hammond Company.
The rates for season tickets for
the three entertainments will be
low, for the purpose is not the
making of money but the addi-
tion of this educative influence
in the community. The commun-
ity is counted upon to back the
enterprise undertaken by the
high school and public school
and the people will be there.

Preachers PRIVILEGE.

Bert was about sixty. and Jed pos
sibly ten years his junior. Bert hadn't
"jined the church," but Jed's deep
voice thrilled with emotion, and
stamped him as one of the elect. as he
entreated Bert to "give himself to
Gawd." Bert listened while Jed cited
various instances of narrow escapes
from horrible death of those whose
"jinin" was the next act after the
click of the Grim Reaper's scythe
was out of their ears. Jed grew
more and more personal. and fin
ally he prodded Bert's chest with
sinewy foreinger and then fairly
shouted Look at yer! Nearly sixty;
On the edge of the grave, so to speak,
and not jined yet! Amt yer afeared
to take such chance on the here
after?" Bert shifted his toothpick
meditatively. Gee. Jed, you ought to
a been minister; you've got that
holy holiness that lets you talk right
out about anybody's business"

FINANCE GIANT
GRAIN SALES
COMMITTEE OUTLINE PLAN FOR
NATIONWIDE CO-OPERA-
TIVE SELLING
RAISING $l,OO0,0O0,O0O PLAN
FARM BUREAU CONSIDER CALL
ING PRODUCERS AGENCIES
TO MEETING

st. Paul, March "Details of the
nationwide cooperative grain mar
keting plan worked out by the Amer
lean Farm Bureau federation's Com
mittee of Seventeen after five months
of research have been made public.
Every grain raising community in
the country is to have an opportun-
ity to consider the plan before it is
finally approved. The Committee of
Seventeen is now drafting plan for
national convention, in which repre-
sentatives of every state and every
farmers organization will meet to
ratify the marketing program.
Under the grain selling plan, as
announced through the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation today, a
national cooperative selling agency
is to be Incorporated on nonstock,
nonprofit basis.
Grain growers will become life
members of this national organiza-
ton.
Wherever local cooperative eleva-
tors or grain shipping associations
already have been formed, they will
be used as the basis of the national
agency. All existing cooperative
units are to be asked to take part.
In communities where there is no CO.
operative elevator the farmers will
organize local grain growers as
ISOLATION.
Farmers will sign contracts to sell
all their grain through their local
cooperative for five years. The CO.
operative will make similar con-
tract with the national sales agency.
The farmers, however, are to
choose the method by which they will
sell their grain. They may sell on
consignment, they may sell direct to
their national cooperative agency,
or they may decide to establish
community pool. The object of the
contracts is to enable the national
organization to sell the grain as the
world needs it, and prevent violent
fluctuations and price depressions as
a result of flooded markets at har-
vest.
The Committee of Seventeen is
completing the details of its plan Tor
financing this giant farmersN organl-
cation. 1t proposes to establish sales
agencies in every important market,
and acquire government licensed
warehouse receipts for this grain as
surety, it is planned to sell deben-
lures or securities on the open mar
ket. or to farmers, county bankers
and the public generally, and thus
raise money to finance the eo-opera-
tive marketing plan. William "
Eckhardt, treasurer of the Commit
tee of Seventeen, in St. Paul to con-
fer with farm bureau officers, said
that the committee believes the ma
tional marketing agency can be maze
so strong that it can raise $l,00o,-
100000 a year to handle the farm
ers' grain.
The national cooperative probably
would advance to the farmer, when
he ships his grain, rs percent OF the
price it hopes to obtain for him; the
rest of the selling price would De
paid to him when the grain is sold.
The aim of the organization is to en-
able the farmer to get some return
from his crop at once, without dump
ing the country's entire production

A LAW WORTH WHILE

The recent passage Of the bill by
the lower house of the legislature,
preventing a candidate defeated at
the primaries from becoming a candi-
date on an Independent ticket at a
general election, will, in all proba-
bility, meet with the hearty approval
of the people of Minnesota.
The state has just experienced a
sample of this brand of Lame Duck"
politics in the candidacy of one Ship
sted, nonpartisan
Defeated at the Republican pri-
maries, Shipsted came out as an I'm
dependent" and his campaign cost
the state of Minnesota money. The
returns of the general election were
a very fair criterion of the pulse of
the people of Minnesota. Still re-
CARELESS of their condemnation of his
candidacy at the primaries, his cam
paign as an Independent, cost the tax
payers a pretty penny.
AS the matter now stands, there
is a possibility that sooner or later
the primary itself, will be abolished.
But until it is the bill governing
candidates now before the state law
makers, looks tempting and appro-
pirate.
Independent tickets have ruined
many a good campaign. They have
invariably been a thorn in the side of
progress. The demise in Minnesota
will not be mourned.

WELCOME PRESIDENT HARDING

At high noon tomorrow, Friday,
March 4th, Warren G. Harding,
Ohio, Republican,, will be inaugurated
President of the United States of
America.
The administration of Woodrow
Wilson, Democrat, will close, and
with it, the past eight years of po-
litical strife, will pass into the his
tory.
America breathes a new life, bust
ness will secure new grasp on the
situation, and the American nation
will rejoice in a new era.
In a recent statement issued from
the headquarters of the president
elect, Mr.. Harding made the asser-
ton that the League of Nations
must go into the discard" 1t is a
very natural belief that the new adj
ministration means to have nothing
to do with the entangling doctrine
of which President Wilson attempt
ed to force down the threats of the
American people year ago.
In declaring the Wilson League
Mr.. Harding gives warning to the
world that. America, from now on,
shall govern it's own future. That no
foreign diplomat nor scheming band
of outsiders, shall tamper with the
well organized and well conducted
policies of the United States.
Europe already, is endeavorlng to
get into the good graces of the new
administration. With the coming of
Harding this gerat nation takes on a
new and more substantial mantle
of responsibility. Our foreign policy
is no longer the football of England.
France and their allies.
America too, with the advent OF
Mr.. Harding, adopts new and more
dignified attitude towards the world

Moral Taught Chinese Children.

A warning to school children Of
China is given in the career of the I'M
scrupulous Pang Kien, who cut off the
ends of straws that his teacher told
him to arrange evenly, while the care
full and honest Sung Pin separated a
similar bundle and laid the straws
straight. one by one, and found that
they were all of uniform length with
out cutting. The character thus mani
tested by the two showed their teacher
which of his pupils would best repay
his efforts. and his judgment was JUS
tilted by the event. for Pang Kien came
to no good, while Sung Pin won re-
nown and wealth and great honor
came through him to his preceptor.

Jack Rabbit Surely insane.

Out I'm Kansas a crazy jack rabbit
started up beside passenger train
making 40 miles an hour. The pas
sengers crowded the platforms and the
windows and whooped it up for the
jack. The jack went completely in
sane and raced the train for miles, never
losing an inch or jump. AS the train
and jack flashed past the last mile post
neck and neck the jack curled up in
the air in the middle of a jump and
lighted, squatted on his launches, and
rubbed one Of his forefeet over his
nose. The jack rabbit is speedy, all
right, but he's plumb crazy.-Los An.

THE DEPOT PROJECT

Every business man and resident
of Sank Centre is watching with
careful interest the effort upon the
part of the Commercial Club to Sc
cure a new Great Northern depot for
this city.
The Commercial Club has been
advised that the success Of their ven
ture can come only through the head
of the Great Northern road, and it
will be at general headquarters that
the campaign will be finally launch
ed.
The present depot of the Great
Northern at this point has out-liv-
ed its usefulness. It's pattern is such
as might have answered the pur-
poses of the road at remote date,
but with the steady advance of con-
ditions and the continual growth and
prosperity of Sank Centre, the depot
has become something of a" bug
aboo" to the community.
There are no adequate facilities
for the comfort and welfare of the
patrons of the road in the present
depot building. It's waiting rooms are
old fashioned and none too attractive.
It's office rooms are small and by no
means meet the demands.
Sank Centre is giving the Great
Northern road a large volume Of
business. The railroad is asking
much of Sank Centre and new de-
pot, one which will be equal to the
town, is not a large request. The
Great Northern road owes Sank Cen

GODS COUNTRY = MINNESOTA

UoD . SoONlN - MlNNEOOlA
In an open discussion of the un-
usually pleasant weather experience
ed here this winter, a speaker re-
marked recently that, Minnesota
was surely Gods Country.
To all of which we can faithfully
add, "Amen." But we should hest
tate to believe that the speaker in
question was basing his decision up
on the weather. Unusual and pleas
ing as the winter has been, there
are numerous reasons why Minneso-
ia should be classed as the choice of
the gods.
There is not another state in this
great and glorious Union which Of
fers to it's children all that Minneso-
ia does. California with it's moder-
ate weather; Florida with it's winter
resorts and palms are but minor fac
tors to the wonders within reach of
the people of Minnesota.
Here it is that man comes into his
own. An almost new country is here
for the asking. Farming interests
are as good as, any in the world.
There is plenty of room for expan-
sion in Minnesota. Our cities are
not too large to meet with the re-
quirements of the pioneer manufac-
turer. Our railroad facilities are of
the best and situated as it is, Mime
sofa reaches out to both the east
and the west.
Nature has endowed this state with
the choicest of her gifts. No where
else, are there so many beautiful
lakes or such timber possibilities as
here. The half wild forests of the
north coupled with broad sweeping
prairie of the south, make an ex-
cellent combination. The mineral
wealth of the great State will furn-
ish untold wealth.
Whatever the weather in Minneso-
ia may be, the old Gopher state is
truly, Gods Country.

PROHIBITION CAUSING
BIG INSANITY INCREASE

NEW YORK, July 27.--The stuff
that sells for liquor has caused more
insanity since prohibition was pro.
claimed In the United States than

caused during the war. it Is assorted
by DR.. Perry NJ. Lichtenstein, resi-
dent physician at the ToInbs.
He told a commission IN lunacy,
sitting in an assault case. that many
cases OF alcoholic insanity had come
to his attention since prohibition.
Poisonous substitutes absorbed by
drinkers create toxic condition
which deadens and destroys the
nervous system and produces alco-

HUNTS GIRL TO SAVE
HUSBAND FROM CHAIR

NEW YORK. July 27.-Upon the
finding of Miss Dorothy Brodell de.
ponds whether George Brandon will
meet the death of a convicted slayer in
the electric chair, August %. or
whether he will have chance for life
and freedom.
August %, 1918, Arthur Kupfer and
his fiancee, Miss Edith fanny, were
slain in an automobile on a lonely
stretch OF highway in New Jersey not
far from their homes in Perth Amboy.
The chief point in his defence was that
On the night OF the crime he had been
at his home, 232 Putnam avenue,
Brooklyn. He said Miss Brodell, who
lived in the same house at the time,
opened the door for him when he came
home.

dress soon after the murder. Efforts
to find her were unsuccessful. Pennl.

bands death, his wife is appealing for

SUPREME COUNCIL
LEAVES zap ISSUE
T0U.S. AND JAPAN
Not Likely to Intervene Unless
Present Negotiations Fail
of Results.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
international News Service.

Ambassador George Harvey Is fully
prepared to discuss the question of a
mandate over the Island Of zap II 1t
should be brought up at the forth
coming meeting of the Supreme Coun-
Gil. it was learned officially today.
The amba ssador has been apprised
of every detail of the Administra-
tion's attitude toward the question.
and is authorized to conduct negotia-
tons for this Government in case any
of the allied premiers sees tit to at
tempt to bring about settlement
IL is unlikely, however, that Colonel
Harvey will himself urge considera-
ton of the zap problem, as conversa-
tions are now in progress on the sub
ject between Secretary Of State
Hughes and Ambassador Shidehara,
and these negotiations are proceeding
in q satisfactory manner.
Anxious for Settlement.
This does not mean that the. United
States would resent an attempt on
the part of the Supreme Council to
reach an agreement on mandates. On
the contrary, the Administration
would welcome settlement of that
troublesome question regardless OF
time or place, and If any Of the allied
premiers wished to initiate such q
discussion, Ambassador Harvey will
place no obstacles in their way.
The allied governments have tacitly
agreed that a settlement Of the zap
dispute is most likely to result from
direct negotiations between the United
States and Japan, the two nations
most deeply Interested, and until II
becomes evident that such neyotia-
tons cannot succeed, II is thought un.
likely that the Supreme Council VIII
take hand in the proceedings.
With the situation In Silesia grow
ing more delicate, II is pointed out,
the Supreme Council will probably
have a task of sufficient magnitude
for the present session, to bring about
an amicable adjustment of that dis
pute, without busying itself at this
time with the question OF mandates.
