ENORMOUS STORES OF GOLD.

The United States is BY far the richest nation in
the world, not only in personal property ready for
use and in Immediately available natural resources,
Lut in the actual possession of gold, which is still
popularly regarded as the most tangible form of real
wealth.
This country has now in coin and bullion the
enormous sum of $4,000, 0oo, 900 in gold. Its gold
receipts from abroad during the past year were
nearly $500, 0 10000, which is $137, OOO,O 600 more than
the total gold production in the United States dur
ing the past five years. We have been sending
goods abroad and receiving gold for those goods, a
process which, if continued indefinitely, would rem
der Us; rich in gold and impoverished in the things
necessary to Our comfort and sustenahce.
In the past a great deal of emphasis has been
placed on the balance of trade. If nations imports
Of goods amounted to more than its exports it was
considered to be in a bad way, and on the road to
bankruptcy. Its only safe course was to bring about
conditions under which its exports would exceed its
imports, and thereby the drain of gold from its cof-
fers would be checked.
There is now a better understanding Of the fact
that statistics on the balance of trade do not tell the
whole story It IS often more useful to receive pay
nlcft m goods than in gold. Gold in sufficient guam
tity % serve the purposes of trade, and to provide 4
satisfactory basis for credit is always desirable. Be
yond that it may be a burden and a menace.
The position of a nation corresponds rather
closely TO that of the individual. Provided ! man

MEANEST MAN IN COUNTY
= -. JAIL THINKING TT OVER

If there was to be a vote taken in
Marshall county for the meanest man
in said county, Selestin Savage of Ar
gyle, now in the county jail, would in
all probabilities poll healthy vote in
the competition and be well up among
the leaders when the final count was
made. Selestin is married and is the
father Of some half dozen children but
that has not seemed to make any ma
terial difference in his life. That is, It
did not last November when he decided
to migrate to other parts. The wife
and children have, however, made some
difference Of late with the resultant ar

Beaten To Death.

- Miss Marie Petrine Wick, aged Is,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hans A. Wick
of Grygla, was gagged, bound and
beaten to death in her room at the
Prescott hotel, Fargo, Monday night by
an unknown assailant. A wisp of grey
hair grasped in the dead girls fingers
was the only clue to the identity of
the murderer and led officials to believe
that the assailant was a middle aged
man. The condition of the girls body,
the blood spots on the walls of the room
and indications Of the use Of a hammer
and the nozZel Of fire hose by the as
sailant, indicated that the girl had
made terrific struggle before succumb-
ing to the attack. =
A pillow slip was used by the as
sailant to gag the girl and her wrists
were tied to the bed post with towel.
Severe head wounds showed the cause
Of her death. Indications were that
the murderer was degenerate, accord
ing to Cass county authorities. e;
Occupants of nearby rooms heard
nothing of the struggle with the excep-
ton of one woman in the pext room
who said that she had heard a sound as
of some one knocking and a noise at
the fire escape.
Miss Wick was in Warren on Monday
on her way to Crookston from where
she proceeded to Fargo. While here
she told friends of her proposed visit
to an aunt in Pettibone, N. D., being
enroute to that place while here. She
arrived at the Fargo hotel about ~
o'clock Monday. night, registered. and
retired, leaving call for seven o'clock
the next morning. When she failed to
respond to repeated calls in the morn
ing an Investigation disclosed the crime.

sen of Crookston. e -. -.

The program which closed another
successful schOl year Of the Warren
schools, was especially pleasing and
was listened to by large audience.
Rev. V. P. Mitchell offered the inyoca-
ton after which song was rendered
by the High School chorus. The salu-
tatory was delivered by Thelma Erick-
son and was choicely worded and well
spoken effort. She expressed gratitude
for the splendid advantages furnished
by the Warren school and hoped that
the same would continue for all time
to come. 90 u .
The commencement address this year
year was given by Mrs. Peter Olesen,
Of CloQuet, and: she more than main
tanned her reputation as a pleasing
and effective speaker. Simply. natur-
ally, unafectedly, yet earnestly and
sincerely she presented her uplifting
and inspiring message. After com
plimenting the young people Of the
class: upon their splendid appearance
the teachers and the superintendent
for their excellent work and the people
Of Warren for their fine spirit Of CO.
operation and progressivness, she:
launched into a eulogy of the American
system of public schools. At the
Worlds Fair in Chicago the exhibit
from the Philippine Islands showed
very primitive civilization, :: mostly
straw hats, rude implements and ig-
norant savages. At the Worlds Fair
in San Francisco, twenty years later,
the educational exhibit from the Phil
ippines was awarded the gold medal
for excellence in competition with the
whole world. The American system*of;
schools had done more to elevate the.
Flipinos in the short period Of twenty
years, than Spain had accomplished in
her 400 years of misrule. -. 49, -:
L True education, she said, should de-
velop the physical, mental and spirit
ual powers Of man, and if one of these
is neglected there is trouble. She told
the story Of Frankenstein, who. SO the
story goes, conceived the idea of Great
ing by mechanical means a living being
who, independent of the ills of the
| flesh, shall be immortal. After. long
laboratory experiments he succeeds,
but his creation turns out to be not a
blessing but a curse. He has made
soulless monster, who pursues him and
all his loved ones to the dire end, COM
polling him to flee from land to land,
from sea to sea. The fiend he has
brought into existence is ever on his
track and is the evil genius of his
whole family. Joining a northern ex-
petition to escape his pursuer Frank

periences finally dies in an ice-bound

Four new homes have been built or are
in the process of erection at the present
time besides several garages which
have been put up during the pastscouple

On the west side S. Ole Anderson is
building modern residence southwest

Elmer E. SwensOn has commenced the

capacity of 500 persons have been com
pleted at the fair grounds.

work on their homes and the r. B.
Taralseth home has. recently been com

prices of lumber and building materials
