THIS FARMER HAS
A FINE TEAM

Frank Cummings. who bought the
old MaXon farm Of eighty acres, two
and one-half miles northeast OF Exc
Land and moved there last March, owns
one Of the finest pairs of horses in That
territory. These horses are sorrcls
and are Just the right size for Il good
heavy farm team and at that they are
light enough 70 he handy on the road.
The Cummings farm has 30 acres
under tho plow. He plans on clearing
ten acres more THIS SHaSOH Twenty
acres OF this pillow Land was seeded
down last spring with oats. The SOIL
is light and the weather got dry at
The wrong time 50 the oats were poor
and most of the clover failed after
coming up fine In the spring.
Mr.. Cummings has been Il reader or
The Eews-Budget since May and he
saw articles in this paper about early
~owed fall rye, seeded with grass at
the same time, and he followed that
plan with the result that his rye and
clover sowed In August made me
stand and a good growth before snow
covered IL, The crop will be made in
the spring and early summer before
che dry weather comes on. This viii
make the land richer and by taking
of one crop of clover and blowing the
next crop under or by leaving the land
in clover couple of years and adding
some barnyard fertility, that land Will
produce better than virgin prairie. He
plans on seeding some of his land down
each year.
Mr.. Cummings said he thinks the
News Budget is a good paper and the
farm department is big help to the
settlers In solving their problems. One

A GOOD PLACE TO
GET ACQUAINTED
Personal Prejudices Laid Aside
For the Best Good of the
Community

There is a big difference III rural
communities Last week a man who
owns farm in Rusk county was III
the News-Budget Office and stated that
he was going to sell out here and move
to where his friends live. He likes the
country all right but his neighhors arc
not soclable, he said.
There is big difference in neigh
borhoOds. One Of the best examples
Of hospitality is to be found ut Dairy
Center. There the people of the COM
lnunity lay aside all personal preju-
diceS and all turn out to attend meet
ings at the schoolhouse every two
weeks on Saturday nights. After the
business Of the evening is disposed OF,
the floor Is cleared and all who wish.
turn in and dance the dances OF the
middle aged class which include the
square dance, schottish, waltz, and
two-step The turkey trot and the
wiggle- woggle are taboo.
Those who do not dance enjoy them
selves visiting and there is table
where some who wish TO may play
cards. Everyone stays and at mid
night a lunch which consists OF any
thing the good housewives have handy,
is eaten with relish.
The money 10 pay the fiddler is
made up by collection. Everyone
throws in quarter or so, and If set
Her don't have the price he is just as
welcome as though he was Il million
airc, perhaps more so. No one hears
Of anyone saying anything against the
Sociability of that section, and THESE
good old-fashioned dances with their
circle two-stcps, and their tag waltzes
where everyone changes partners with
everyone else, are the greatest thing III
the world TO keep the spirit OF loya
friendship for neighbor alive. one OF
the best features Of these dances is the
fact that the children of the community
no there and dance with the older PEG
ple in u wholesome atmosphere. Tn'
Young will have their fling and it il
much better for them TO have 1t in tht
neighbOrhoOd than TO go away iron
home for 1t where they are very apt e
run into the jazz music and the reckless
dancing that is 50 much in evidence IL
the public dance halls of today.
Other good things for rural commun
tiles are debating contests, lectures, boz
Socials, and best of all, Sunday schoo
and church services. All OF these cal
and should be held in the local school
house where that is the only buildin;
available in tho community.
No one form of entertainment suit
everyone and personal prejudice
should be laid aside Where the com
nunity spirit exists as it should exist
All people attend the public gathering
and get lot of good from them.

it was cleared and how much 1t cost

With the 'Rusk County Plan as a

Monday he wrote: Your write-ups
on the cost Of landclearing are good.
I have cleared land on contract and
kept account Of the cost and find that
ii will cost on land where there IS not
too many pine stumps about $1,000 per
acre. / have kept account where there
has been nothing but white pine
stumps when labor was high and the
cost ran from $33 per acre up. be-
lieye that if the farmers could and
would figure the actual cost OF clearing
land, we would be able 10 get proper

HOW AUXILIARY WORKS.

Reprinted from (The Pajqma Ga

The Pajan,a Gazette, official weekly
bulletin of the disabled veterans Of
Ashbury Hospital, Minneapolis, whose
motto s ''To Unity, to Pacify, to
Satisfy" has the following to say about
the efforts Of the American Legion
Auxiliary to bring Christmas cheer. to
the disabled:
"A month before Christmas, men,

for Christmas. Nearly every comrade
Voiced his wishes. If a patient was

what would please the bashful bouys.
They sure guessed right as every man
here seems well pleased with his re-
membrance from the American Legion
Auxiliary.
"Some fellows wanted pajamas,
others wanted woolen stockings, still
others wanted shoes, money, articles
of clothing in short, what each man
wanted, he got. The method used
by the American Legion in obtaining
and distributing the Christman pack
ages was highly efficient. Nearly every
town in Minnesota has a Legion Aux

were made known, the name Of dis

mailed the desired articles.

An Old Practice.

Because the Leaguers lack the pub
licity and the representatives to
bring out every detail of their pro.
gram, and because the Other side
has such abundant means of this
kind to cover up, and misstate, the
impression gets abroad that the
Leagusls are always proposing new
radical things. :..< .,,.
AS matter of fact, great deal
of what they propose is merely de
manding for farmers advantages
hitherto possessed only by bie-busi-
ness. Take the revival of the grain
corporation to stabilize wheat pflc-
es at cost of production, for INSTANCE.
Big-business may tear its h.ir about
this being terrible govecnment-own-
ership and its hired men nay rend
their clothes in sympathy. But
what hav, W: beeo doing by our pro-
tective tariffs since the Civil war
except stabllizing prices fer big
business at cost CT production or
better?
In every plea for tariff there has
been an attempt to show that costs
CT producing woolen cloth or wire
nails, or sugar, or locomotives were
higher heie than abroad. The gov
ernment in Presid INT Taft's tim
appointed a special commission to
tour this country and Europe to
study relative costs. 1t was accepted
as foregone conclusion that our
manufacturers should have costs OF
production. 1t is the sad truth that
by film farming the public, lying
cost reports, bribing Congressmen
and big carpaign funds, the prices
for the trusts we're stabilized by the
government at far above relative
costs of production. The tariff Was
the mother of trusts, as many re
former used to say. '''-'' - -.
Now, the trouble with tariff tor
farmers is that it stabilizes prices
of a conn odity only when the coun
try produces less than it consumes.
We produce more wheat than We
consume; so the emergency tariff OF
IS cents on wheat does our farmers
no practical good Instead, the sta
bilizing must be accom- plished by
other neans. We worked out that
means during the war. And there
is no reason under heaven why we
should not use it again, except few
anti-farmer interests.
1t would lift the whole Northwest
OFT of the nlre.

The Cost Of Food.

Figures such as are compiled by the
International Labor Office Of the Lea
que of Nations tell startling tales. For
instance, take these figures of the cost
of food in various countries: In the
United States, according to the COM
pilation, food last summer cost so
per cent more than in July, 1914; IN
England 10 per cent, in France zoo,
in Italy 400, in Germany 1900, in
Austria II, 1000, in Poland $4,000 per
cent more than in the month before
the war. The figures tell the story,
of course, not merely of rising prices
but OF deprecated currency. 1t is
difficult to translate such figures into
the current terms of life. Other figures
compiled by the same office, have a
very plain 1reaning-those OF the un-
employed. We have few reliable sta
tistics on unemployment in this coun-
try. The best Of them, those of Mas
sachusetts, show more than 20 per
cent unemployed, as against a 1913
figure of 6 per cent. England-the
figures are of last summer-had 13
per cent, against 3.6 in 1918; Holland
8.5, Belgium 11.7, Sweden 26.8. The
business depression is plainly world
wide, and no merely national meas
ures can put an end to it. Only
Germany, working feverishly over
tine as the value of her currency
declined and her nanpower became
almost daily cheaper, showed an un
healthy isolated activity, with only
2.2 per cent out of work. " Y

To agitate merely against the guar

thing. So long; as, there is private
ownership the government must, in
practice, allow rates which will yield
a return on railroad stocks and bonds
after the wastes and profteering OF
private operation have been covered.
We always have done this and always
must. The government practically
guaranteed returns. for many years
before the Esch-Cummings law was
passed. Our only relief is to sub
stitute public ownership and opera
ton for service, rather than for profit.
The voters of Minnesota are no
longer in doubt as to where Senators
Knute Nelson and Frank B. Kellogg
stand in the political category. By
their votes in favor Of seating Tru-
man Newberry, who literally bought
his seat in the Senate, they proved
that they favor crooked politics.
And that should be sufficient evi-
dence to end their political careers
and send them to oblivion. ~.

both sides Of question is dishonest.
