are such as to convince the most skep-

the government will step in and help
the farmers, if at all, is when this
action does not endanger the profits
Of big business. Two instances that
prove conclusively the above asser-
ton are related by the Pierre, S. D.,
Capital-J ournal. We quote from that
paper as follows: "Two stories of
distressing sales of farm produce came
from Fort Pierre this week. One
party shipped car of sheep to the
Sioux City, Iowa, market, receiving
one dollar a head. After paying
freight, feed and commission costs, the
commission firm sends the shipper a
bill of $3.50 due from the shipper to
pay the loss. This means giving away
the sheep and paying for the privilege.
Another car of draft horses was sent
to an eastern market and netted seven
dollars head. A fort Pierre hog
grower says he would have paid more
than that sum for the horses for hog
feed. This is striking example Of
how the farmers are being HIT

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
FOR Ex-SERVICE MEN
Representatives of Federal Board
Will Examine Buddies at Man
kato Next Month.

The Federal Board for Vocational
Training in District No. 10 has de-
cided to abolish the usual government
tai red tape as much as possible, so
that ex-service men who are entitled
to consideration by this board will
receive it without further unnecessary
delay To eliminate the Overwhelming
formalities ordinarily necessary for
former soldiers to go through in
bringing their cases before the proper
authorities, the Tenth District Board
will send squad of men into all
sections of the state to make medical
examinations Of the applicants, certify
to official papers, advise the disabled
ex-soldiers as to vocational training
and provide them with transportation
to school, where they will receive in
struction at the expense of the govern
ment.
In this locality, Mankato is the place
where the squad will make it's head
quarters. It will be. in session there
on Friday, Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday, February 10, 10, p and %,
and disabled ex-service men in the
counties of Brown, Blue Earth, Fari-
bault, lie Sueur, Martin, Nicollet,
Sibley and Watonwan, who are in
terested, should report to the squad
at the time and place. In order to
facilitate the work Of the squad, all
applicants for vocational training are
required to present all of the official
military and governmental papers in
their possession, as these will form a
basis for determining the validity Of
the claims.
The work Of the Federal Board
squads in Minnesota was commenced
Wednesday of last week and will be
carried forward as rapidly as possible
in every section of the state. All ex-
service men should assist the. board
in that they tell those of their friends,
whom they know or believe to be en-
titled to free vocational training by
the government, about the opportunity
that awaits them at Mankato next.

man, who, as a result of his military
service is hindered in carrying on his
pre-war occupation, is entitled to
course in vocational training at the,
expense Of the Federal government.

PROFITEERS ROB
GRAIN GROWERS
BUYERS PAID HIGHER PRICE
LAST YEAR THAN FOR
THE 1919 CROP.
MORE THAN ENTIRE SURPLUS
OF OUR WHEAT SOLD
TO EUROPE. :.
THE 1919 CROP

Figures compiled by Prof. w. G..
Roylance, statisticalexpert ofthe Bank
of North Dakota, well-known econo-
mist and former faculty member of
the University of Utah, from United
States government trade reports show
that the ruinously low prices paid to
American farmers for their wheat in
1920 were not caused by absence of
European buying demand, says the
Minnesota Daily Star. Exports from
the United States in the first II
months Of 1920 were 192,383, 961
bushels, or more than 100000
bushels greater than exports Of wheat
for the same period Of 1919.
Paid More Per BusheI.
European buyers paid mole per
bushel for American wheat in 1920
than they paid in 1919, according to
Prof. Roylance's figures. The average
export price for 1 l months of 1920 was
$2.88 bushel, as against an average
export price OF $2.41 for the first II
months of 1919. The average farm
price of wheat in November, 1919, was
$1.70 per bushel, compared with $1.OO
bushel for November 1920.
More Than Surplus Exported.
The estimated SUI plus for export of
the American wheat crop for 1920 was
220,000,000 bushels. Exports of 1920
wheat on January /, 1921, had exceed
ed 200,00o,000 bushels, while contracts
have been made for delivery Of 10O,-
100000 busiest additional, calling for
an aggregate export of 80,O0O,00O
bushels mole than the 1920 surplus.
Shrewd Buying Campaign.

Roylance, that this shrewd buying
campaign, by means OF which more
than our entire surplus of the 1920
wheat crop was secured without at
any time appreciably checking the

ReUardiaeg the Voters,

The common people of Minnesota
will long have occasion to regret the
remaining in power Of the plunderbund
in this state. In electing Jacob; A. O.
Preus to the governor ship, the voters
virtually sold themselves into bondage,
the bondage of the steel trust, the
Lumber trust, and other illicit combina-
tons of wealth, for already bills are
beng framed jointly by the House
and Senate election committees which,
If passed, will carry out the state

Prices Are Lower.

The Emporium is the largest store
in San Francisco. Everything is much
cheaper out here than it is back home
and there are special sales on every
thing you can think of. San Francisco
has municipal civic center, composed
Of Red Cross buildings, public library,
city hall and the auditorium in which
the Democratic national convention
was held in 1920. We saw wonder

Houses Scarce: Rentals High.
AT Santa Barbara we spent night
before going to Los Angeles, where we
arrived November "a and spent five
weeks. For a month we rented a
house and the other week we spent in
an apartment house and hotel.
November Is we went over to Pasa-
dena to see two families from Fairfax,
who are living there now. We looked
for place to rent, but couldn't find
any. 1t sure is hard to find a suit,
able place to live, as every house that
isn't offered for sale is held at higl
rental.
Visit Former New Ulmites.
Gone Sunday we left Los Angeles
and took three-day trip, on which
we visited La Verne and Upland. Al
the latter place we saw lemon pack
ing house, which was very interesting
Ontario, Riverside and San Bernardino
are nice places. At Covina we visited
people from New Ulm and Fairfax.
Went to Redondo Beach one Sunday
but didn't care much for that place.
We now are at Long Beach, where We
expect to remain until we leave in the
spring. We are living in four-room
fat with a sleeping porch and like it
very much here, especially the winter
weather, which is just fine. We arc
here over two weeks and have not beer
home one afternoon SO far. Also GO
out some evenings, as there is always
some place to go.
Entertaining the Tourists.
son New Yeal' Day we were to the
rose tournament in Pasadena, which
was very nice. January we took in
free show for tourists, which was. just
fine. 1t was held at the auditorium
and another tourists show will be given
there January is. January Ia was 9
very warm day and we went in search
for cool place. Yesterday we saw q

ocean.

'tIt,s fun to go down on the Pike
and talk to the different tourists, fol-
so many don't like it here. Were
down there again today and mingled

So far we have seen very few from
Minnesota. Wish you and your sister
were out here to eat some of the nice
oranges, grapefruit and walnuts of
the trees. My folks and Alpha are
on their way out here now. We sure
are having some fine weather. Since
we are at Long Beach, we have hac
three small rains. Am feeling just
fine since I am out here and have
gained seventeen and a'half pounds"

Divine Providence certainly is not
in league with the coal barons and
profiteers. The mild weather pre-
vailing this winter did more than any
other human power. could have done
to force the fuel gougers to be salts
fed with smaller profits, as it deprived
them of their strongest prop: the claim
that spirited demand, which greatly
reduced the supply, caused coal prices
to soar. The consumer has every
reason to be thankful that the profiteers
are too busy garnering the coin of the
realm to devote any attention to
spiritual affairs.

| farmers, we have referred sometimes
to the alliance between politicians and

the consent of the officers of the law,

And the reason is plain. The

men to prey on the victims Of sin

Minneapolis now furnishes a nause-
ating illustration of this alliance be-

means to inforde the law, Minneapolis
is revealed by Minnesota Daily Star
investigators as having gambling
houses running wide open and serving
as cities of refuge for criminal ele-
ments. And it is said that no less
than 100 houses of i'll fame operate
within few blocks of the city hall.
Let it be noted, too, that vice under
these conditions of protection by in
terests wanting votes for franchises
and other grarts is worse than wide
open vice. The. gambler in the joints
exposed by the Star has practically
no chance except to be heeced. The

repeal of the direct primary law and
the abolition of the non-pa1ty system
of electing legislators. This means a
return to the trust ridden and boss
controlled partisan conventions that
serve every interest but those of the
common people. Should the, changes
desired by the professional politicians
and moneyed interests obtain, the
voters have no one to blame but them
selves, as they needed the admonition
of the plunderbund to ""Save Mime

tactics are a part OF the p1 ogram to
make secure the powers once held by
the reactionaries and polluted poll
ticians.
One cannot think of Ireland and her
desperate fight for freedom, without
giving thought to the hopes of the
Filipinos along the same lines. Our
own government has been exceedingly
negligent in keeping its pledge to. the
Philippine islanders relative to their
independence. Congress
processes a deep interest in Ireland
and one branch of our national law
making body has resolved that she
should be given a government of her
own choice-yet Congress ignores the
claims of the Philippines for the same
justice! Consistency, thou art, in

hate him when he smites us with his scythe and
pinches our muscles and nerves and when he filings
his long white beard around us like strangling

In this crucial hour we must cease the game
of Make-Believe. We must cease. to grieve for
our radiant youth and know that all that is unreal
in US is what we bury in the grave; that our
splendid temple, where our spirit lives is like
all created things, the perishing part of us.
But alas for us when our mind grows old with
our body!
When our mind becomes inactive because it is
too lazy to learn; when it is palsied because it is
like a prize-fghter who refuses to fight; when
it is weakened by wicked sophistres, and has
wasted its forces on a false hypothesis when
it has quibbled over error and caviled at truth :;
when it has denied the eternal verities and
squandered its energies on futile, fimsy and friv-
olous issues until it has become a worthless fab
ric of cobwebs and smoking flax.
Lo, we are living on lotus leaves, eating its fruit
and drinking its acid wine.
All that is real within US is ageless and will
never see death.
Therefore we have nothing to fear if our brain
swings as steadily as the earth on its axis; if
our minds are as sensitive to thought as an
aeolian harp to the whisper of the wind if our

of youth we have nothing to fear when we hear
