make the fair the greatest ever held
in South Dakota.
A resolution authorizing North and
South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska to make joint ar
engagements for the enforcement Of
their laws on the streams and bodies
Of waters which constitute parts of
the boundary lines between them, was
introduced in he senate by Senator
Sterling, republican, of South Dakota.
Any two or more of the states, the
resolution provides, may take steps for
the enforcement by mutual legislative
action without being considered as
infringers upon federal authority in
usual interstate matters.
The annual report of the Yellowstone
Trail association shows that during the
year the association received and
spent the sum of $4,365,070 on new
road construction between Indiana
and Seattle, Wash, an average of
$1,618 to each mile constructed and
an average for the entire trail of more
than $500 per mile.
Members of the Farmers Elevator
company which owns an elevator in
Howard, will at their semi-annual
meeting on January 8, consider the
question of purchasing a weekly news
paper for the purpose of advancing
h interests of the company. Owners
of the Miner County Messenger, a non
partisan league paper, which supports
the cause Of Townley, have offered to
sell the newspaper property to the
farmers company.
The state cement commission, at a
meeting this week, practically decided
to take up their option on what is
known as the Lime Creek" site at
Rapid City. This tract lays north OF
the Indian school at that place, and
contains over 500 acres, which can
be purchased at q cost of about $25,-
900 to the state. The price of the
tract is double this amount, but Rapid
City business men have agreed to
make up the difference. This action
was taken after consideration of the
difference between the two sites on
which options were taken at the time
the commission met at Rapid City.
and the probabilities now are the
Lime Greek" site will be selected.
Carl Lien Of Summit has invented a
snow plane which he operates with
a motorcycle engine and claims a
speed of so miles an hour where he
gets a fairway with his new motive
power. He has mounted the engine
on a light body carried on
with a steering runner attached. 1t
is driven with a propeller similar to
an airplane propeller, and it is claimed
beats ice boating for speed and thrills.
A strange bird which was shot near
Tyndall by +. +. Chladek has been
identified as a cormorant. 1t is com
mon in the Orient and parts of Eu-
rope, but is rarely found in North
America. How this cormorant came
to be ranging in South Dakota is a
mystery which never can be solved.
The cormorant resembles a dusky
mallard duck; it has the neck of a
pin tail; the beak of a fish duck and
tail and feet different from any fowl
common to South Dakota.

CHRISTMAS CLUB
OPENS DEC. "a.
Citizens Savings Bank to Open Their
1922 Savings Club Next
Month.
WILL BE THE
SIXTH YEAR
During the Past Five Years the
Bank Has Paid Out $116,6sS.05
To Members.

The Citizens Savings Bank is get
ting ready to pay out the nice sum
of $24,614.57 to members of its 1921
Christmas Savings Club. The checks
will be sent out Dec. 10, to 507
members. 1t is the fifth year for
the club and during that time the
bank has paid out S116,69S.O5, which
is certainly fine sum to have saw
ed up.
The originating of this club was
a fine idea and helped hundreds to
save who never gave the matter a
thought before.
1t was mighty nice to get check
just before Christmas that you had
almost forgotten about and that
didn't bother you much to save.
This club is a wonderful thing, as
it teaches thrift and puts many a
young person on the road to success.
The membership is growing each
year, and without doubt the 1922
club, opening Dec "a, will be the
largest Of all. Watch for further
particulars of the opening of the
1922 club and be one of those to
get nice check in December of. next
year.

selling Religion

The Episcopal church announces
that it is going to line up with other
religious denominations and "sell"
religion through advertising. ''If
cigarettes, breakfast foods, life in
surance, and motor cars are suscept-
ible of successful advertising CAM
paigns," suggests the announcement,
why not "the greatest thing in the
world--religion?" ?"
When the Methodist Centenary for
Columbus, Ohio, was advertised, the
prediction was that it was a foolish
waste of money-they. wouldn't get
a crowd at all. Then when the re-
cent big prize fight was advertised
for Toledo, Ohio, the prediction was
that there would be over 100000
people flock to the ringside. But
the result of the advertising was
that 10000 people went to Toledo
and 125,000 went to Columbus.
Sure it pays to advertise religion.

EARLY HOLIDAY
BUYING POLICY
IL People Would Start Right in To-
day to Buy Christmas Stuff
1t Would Help Trade
A Lot.
IyE EARLIER YOU
2 BUY THE BETTER
BuyiA. IN November Would Permit
Merchants to Place New
Orders for Stuff Month
Earlier.

Retail stores in many places are
already putting notices in their win
dows saying "Do your Christmas
shopping early. This year there
is a very strong added reason for
such a policy.
Formerly a great deal was said
about the severe pressure brought
on store clerks and mail and express
employees by the habit of buying
Christmas presents during the brief
period before the holidays, and send
ing them all in heap. 1t is most
inhuman and preposterous practice,
and all that has been said previous
ly applies now.
This year, if people would start
right in today and buy their Christ
mas stuff, it would do a lot to help
trade. Many factories are still run
ming on short time. If the mer-
chants could by the first of Decem-
Der clean up good share OF their
holiday trade, it would enable them
to go ahead and buy new stuff. This
would set to work a lot of people
who otherwise would be idle or en-
ployed only on part time, and would
help them get through the hard
times of winter.
There is bound to be more ac-
tiyity in trade after Christmas any
way. The big holiday rush always
turns a lot of goods into money and
permits renewed buying and sends a
thrill of energy into the work of
manufacturing production all oyee
the country.
Now the question arises whether
the country will get that new inn
pulse of activity in January as the
result of big clean up of goods in
December? o. can it come in De-
cember, as {te result Of big clean
up of goods in November? If a lot
of people who have been finding
fault with poor business would SIM
ply get busy and buy now the
things they will buy anyway next
month, it would produce big bus
mess revival at once and bring pros
porous. times one month nearer. Any
merchant in Decorah would tell you
that rush of buying in Novembe.
would permit him to place new or
ders for stuff a month eaf4er than
he otherwise would.

OLsoNS LEAD AT NORTHFIELD
New Directory Published Gives Town
Population 5,54f.

The new Rice county directory,
published by r. l.. Polk & Company
of st. Paul, was distributed to North
field subscribers last week.
The directory credits Northfeld
with "a population of 5,544. This is
considerably in excess of the popu-
lation given by the United States
census, taken in January of 1920,
which was 4,023. The directory
publishers make an estimate of pop
ulation on the basis of the number
of names in the directory, multiplied
certain number of times. As the
directory was compiled fully year
and half later than the taking Of
the federal census, the increase in
population is partly explained by
that fa:L, bt: it seem: likely tna. the
directory estimate is too large, even
with a generous allowance for the
number of people who have moved
in. The directory's estimate of Fari-
bault's population is 13,261. The
Olsons lead in the Mortified sec
tion of the directory with 30 names,
while the Johnsons come second with
"a names. There are rs Petersons,
"a Andersons, 20 Hansons, Is Chris
tensens, Is Dilleys, Is Nystuens, 13

GENE ROSENTHAL
SHOT HUNTING
Former Decorahian Has Marrow
Escape Last Thursday Hunting
Ducks at Fairport.
SHOT IN ABDOMEN
AND RIGHT LEG
Gun Accidentally Discharged by
Hunting Partner Getting Out
OF Boat.

Eugene Rosenthal, son of +. j.
Rosenthal, and son in law of Mr..
and Mrs. F. P. Adams, of Decorah,
was accidentally shot while hunting
ducks at Fairport last Thursday.
Eugene and friend had been out
in boat. They pulled up to land
and Eugene got out of the boat,
and was about twenty feet away
from his partney who was getting
out of the boat, when the gun he
was carrying was discharged and the
shot went through the boat and hit
Eugene in the thighs, going through
both of them. He was rushed to a
hospital and given medical aid, and
we understand he is getting along
nicely. Eugene is manager of one
of Graham's big department stores
located at Muscatine.
The following is from Muscatine
paper:
Although seriously injured when a
shotgun was accidentally discharged
G. w. Rosenthal, manager of the
Graham store, is expected TO recov-
er. The accident occurred near Fair
port Thursday afternoon about five
o'clock. The injured man received a
charge of shot in the lower abdomen
and the upper part of the right leg.
DR.. A. ]. Oliver was summoned and
Mr.. Rosenthal was removed immedi-
ately to the Hershey hospital. :.
Accompanied by Gus Dusenberry of
Fairport and w. Snyder of Dubuque,
Mr.. Rosenthal had crossed the river
in a boat. AS he stepped from the
upoat to the river bank, one of the
other members of the party leaving
the craft stumbled over a loaded shot
gun. The gun was discharged, the
charge passing through the end of
the boat and striking Mr.. Rosenthal,
who was about 20 feet distant. The
recoil hurled the gun into the river
and it is not known if, both barrels
were discharged.
The injured mans companions
placed him in the boat and hurried
him to the Fairport biological station
and summoned DR.. Oliver.
The physician said this morning
that none of the shot evidently had
penetrated to any great depth, the
force of the charge having been
checked by passing through the boat
and through the heavy clothing which
the injured man was wearing.
Several shot, which were fiat from
impact with the boat, just penetrated
the skin.
The physician removed several of
the leaden pellets which were known
as number as" large shot used for
duck hunting. He expected to extract
the remainder of the shot from the
injured mans body today.

Curious Facts About Right and Left
Handedness

From scientific observations of left
handedness in relation to high blood
pressure, some very interesting dis
closures have recently been made, ac-
cording to the Popular Mechanics
Magazine for November. The OBJ
servations were made with regard to
this point on 142 inmates of the San
Francisco home for the aged. Left
eyedness is not uncommon in the
right-handed, it was pointed out.
Conversely, right-eyedness is com
mon with left-handed people. Among
600 men between the ages of Al
and So, there were found ~ left
handed ones, and the remaining rs
"crossed"; that is, either lefthanded
and iight-eyed, or left-eyed and right
handed. Higher blood preSsures and
stanmering were found to more FREE
quent among left-handed individuals.

Twelve Stars in Cecil B. DeMiile's
Great Production at Star
Theatre November
IL, Is, 19.
PARAMOUNT MASTERPIECE
OF UNRIvALED PUALITY
Nothing Like This Cast in Way
Aggregate Talent Ever Been
Assembled Before.

Twelve stellar players and sup
porting cast of unrivalled quality
that's the record set by Cecil B. De-
Miles latest Paramount MASTERPIECES
"The Affairs of Anatol" which will
be shown at the Star theatre this
week Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, Nov. II, Is, 10. The roster
reads like screendom's who who.
The phrase ''all star cast" is a much
abused one but it adequately des-
cribes cast that includes Wallace
Reid, famous Paramount star; Gloria
Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Dam
iels, Monte Blue, , Wanda Hawley,
Theodore Roberts, Agnes Ayres,
Theodore Kosloff, Polly Moran, Ray
mond Hatton and Julia Faye.
Nothing like this cast in the way
of aggregate talent has ever been
assembled before. The drawing
power of almost any of the names
on the roll has been sufficient to
awaken the interest of the discrimin-
ating public. Here, for the first
time, they aresappearing in a single
production under the direction of
master producer-Cecil B. DeMille.
'The Affairs of Anatol' was writ
ten by Jeanie Macpherson, author of
many notable Cecil B. DeMille pro-
ductions. Her story was suggested
by Arthur Schnitzler's scintillating
comedy of the same name.
The same quality that is featured
in the cast of principals and in the
authorship has been carried through
every phrase of production work

One thing which added to the
place accorded this event was the
fact that it took place the day pre-

ever eradicate the necessity of like
event and thus add greater lustre
to the achievements of Americas
soldiers in their struggle for the
betterment of the world. Great
