Faith
GONE {!
Bronner Says Ger
mans Bankrupt

Future Good
BY MILTON BRoNNER

BERLIN, June is.--The Germany
OF today is a bankrupt nation.
1t is bankrupt In more ways than
the mere matter OF an inability TO
make Its income match It's expenses
Other European nations are bank
rupt in that particular way--France
and Italy. for instance
But Germany Is bankrupt In hope
and endcavor. IL is bankrupt In vim
and zest OF living. II Is bankrupt
of faith in the future.
AVERAGE GERMAN
CANNOT SEE PEACE
The average German OF today--the
fellow like you and me and Ncighbor
Smfth--can hardly see gfeam of
hope ahead. He is rid OF his expen.
sive kaiser. and the other minor
kings and grand dukes and princes
He is rid OF a great expensive army
and navy. He is rid of conscription.
He has a republic instead OF n mon
archy. But nowhere does he sec
unity or peace or satisfaction.
Politically Germany Is house not
only divided against itself. but many
times subdivided
There are politicians who dream
Of the restoration OF the monarchy.
There are political parties which
dream OF bolshevisrn. Even the so
cialists are subdivided into various
parties with their various repre-.
sentatives in the reichstag.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
AND ST. PETER COME
TO JUDGMENT HERE

George Washington and st.
Peter were both on trial in JUS
tice Of the Peace c. c. Dalton's
court Friday afternoon.
st. Peter was a taxi driver and
George Washington, a negro boot
black. said to have evolved into
bootlegger.
Against st. Peter twhose initials
are J. Ed the charge of operating
his taxi without having filed a
bond was dismissed when the
Metropolitan Taxicab company
assumed the obligation and paid
$40.
Washington's benefactor was
Matilda Logan, who arrived in
court announcing: "Ah'm not
Mrs. Washington, but All 'spects
to be"
Thru the trial she sat unmoved
while George explained that he
found his still in the woods and
had obtained a washboiler full of
corn to make refreshments for
househol' purposes"
But Matilda's eyes widened
when Washington frowned upon
her as the judge said: $3.50 and
90 days in jail"
Talk up. Matildy,- commanded
George; "ef you wuz in trubble
Ah'd bust laig for YOU

fine"

DEMPSEY CROWS.

Doesn't Consider Fight a

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. June Is.
"A lot OF folks have a sneaking
idea that Jack Dempsey is Just n
wee bit contemptuous OF his op-
ponent in the big fight
Don't you believe II.
Talking with the champ and
watching him. you get this idea;
That Dempsey has learned a
double barreled lesson in the danger
that lies in over-confidence and un.
der estimation.
That he learned the lesson from
Jess Willard and Bill Brennan-in
different ways.
That he figures willard fell partly
because he under-estimated Dempsey
and that he himself came mighty
near falling because he didn't take
Brennan as seriously as he should.
Jack has a high opinion OF Georges
Carpenter and he isn't backward
about admitting 1t.
"Carpentier's a tough fellow. all
right, and I'm not taking any
chances" he says.
How many rounds do you figure
on?"
"wel. I don't know" he an
swered. "You never can tell. But
IL l can keep my chin out OF the
way"
The sentence was left unfinished.
And Dempsey wasn't smiling--as he
usually is. 1t was serious medita
ton.
For Jack takes the Frenchman
seriously: as a skillful boxer hard
hitter and a man able to take pun.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL.
June 18.-Capt. Roald
Amundsen, the Arctic ex-
plorer, who left Alaska last
fall, with the intention Of
freezing his ship into an ice
blockade and remaining in
the North seven years in an
attempt to prove that the
currents carry the ice blocks
across the North Pole, has
been rescued at East Cape,

the schooner Herman, belong-
ing to the H. Liebes company

TAKEN TO NOME
The Information was received 70.
day by the Liebes company in = tele-
gram from Captain Peterson. who.
after rescuing Amundsen and his
party. made a special trip to bring
them back to Nome. Alaska
The dispatch stated that Amund-
sens ship. the "Maude." had been
disabled and left abandond in tho
ice near Serge. Siberia. The Amund.
sen party. after great difficulties,
made their. way over the ice to 81
IBERIA. and finally down the coast to
East Cape, where they encountered
Captain Peterson.
After much difficulty Captain
Amundsen finally secured crew at
Nome last fall and went to Herald
island. where. according to reports
from Captain Peterson, who brought
word out. the boat was frozen into
the ice according to schedule. Tho
new position OF the boat is said to
indicate that the ice had already
taken him a short distance when his
vessel became disabled.
A number of years ago, IN con-
junction with the United States rov-
ernment. the Liebes company had =
number Of casks with messages in
them frozen into the ice near Herald
island. These casks were found five
years later on the other side of the
North pole. apparently indicating
that the currents forced the ice
across the North pole. Amundsen
decided to make the same attemp4
with ship. reaching the North pooo
in a novel manner.
Captain Peterson rescued Captain
Bartlett. who was making a similar
experiment for the United States
government number Of years ago.
Bartlett's boat. the Karluk, was fro
zen in at Herald island. 1t was
crushed by the ice jam and was lost.
Captain Peterson rescued the sur.
vivors of the party.

A complete wireless station, equip

America has just been completed by
Raymond Borgmann son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Bergman, at the Borg
mann home in Sank Centre.
The device has been used in a
small way by the lad for several
weeks, but last Saturday he extended
his field of operation to a point where
he can now intercept all classes of
aerial messages sent fom all points
of the compass.
At nine o'clock nightly and at noon
each day, Mr.. Bergman receives the
standard time from the United
States aerial station at Arlington,
Va. He also receives daily weather
reports from the federal weather bu-
reau station at Springfield, Ill.
Other stations in Minnesota are in
regular communication with him, and
under his new system of operation,
this little wireless station places
Sank Centre in a position to receive
first hand information on all import
ant events of the nation.

County Fair to Receive
More Money from State
Minnesota Legislature Increases the
Appropriation for Premiums to
$115,O00 Annually.

The Stearns County Fair associa-
ton will receive at least $3.50 more
this year from the state than the ap-
preparation allowance last year.
This increase was made possible
when the Legislature, in a recent
session, voted to raise the state ap-
preparation to fair associations $115,-
900.
Secretary E. M. Gillig of the Fair
Board, was in attendance at the
meeting of fair secretaries in Mime
apolis last week. He stated Monday
that 'Stearns county's premium Offer
ings this year would exceed $1,000.
The matter of admitting fair as
sociations to the state organization
took up considerable time during the
Minneapolis session, and the gist of
opinion among the board Of COVER
nors was that one fair to the county
was sufficient to meet the demands
of the state.
The question of admission fees was
also discussed, but unlike last years
session, no set price of admission was
decided upon.
In order to receive premium aid
from the state, it is necessary for a
fair association to spend at least
$500 in premiums.

Farm Bureau Fight to

county Executive COMMITTEES Met in
st. Cloud Saturday to Discuss
the Problem.

There is probability that the
Stearns County Farm Bureau will
take hand in the matter of the Of
flee of County Agent which it was
voted to discontinue at the late town
election.
Gus Levorson of Northfork, vice
president of the Stearns County
Farm Bureau, was in Sank Centre on
Saturday enroute to a meeting of the
executive board of the bureau at St.
Cloud.
Mr.. Levorson stated to the Herald
that he was not positive what action
the bureau would take in respect to
the case of the county agent, but that
he personally favored the continu-
ance of the office.
"If the board favors the county
agent, it is very likely that the or
ganization will file a protest against
the abolishing of the office in Stearns
county," said Mr.. Levorson.
The township of North Fork voted
unanimously to retain the services OF
the agent.

son.
