Nine States Join Farm
Rate War in Northwest
Minnesota Bureau Federation and
Railway Commissions Meet to
Combat Freight Increase

Pocketbooks Of Minnesota farmers
are being protected by the Farm
Bureaus traffic experts in a new
railroad rate case involving $4,000
600 year.
C. B. Hutchings, traffic manager of
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, came to Minnesota to confer
with representatives of the state rail-
road commissions of nine grain pro-
ducing states, and lay plans for COM
batting an attempt by the roads to
wipe out the existing 10 per cent
rate differential on coarse grain.
When the Interstate Commerce COM
mission last winter ordered sweeping
reductions IN freight rates on hay,
wheat and coarse grain, itefixed rates
on coarse grain ten per cent lower
than those on wheat. Farm Bureau
traffic experts estimate that this ten
percent difference means saving

IMMENSE POWER OF MUSIC.
There L. Almost No Limit to its In
fiuence on the Human
Soul.

Music! The dictionary defines 1t
as THE science of harmonious sounds !:
melody or harmony" The tide of bat
tie has been turned by the science
Of Harmonious sounds and to hear
some old familiar melody has often
resulted In soothing the troubled
heart, -. q
y Music can call the patriot to the
defense of his country; can enthuse
anew the worshiper at the shrine !;
can call the lover to his beloved !;
can fan into flame the dying embers
of the fire in the enthusiasts breast.
There Is no limit to the power of
music over the human soul.
The world needs music-music of
the soul; music of the heart; music
of the voice; music of the spirit.
There are people who can't sing, yet
they can be moved to- tears or laughter
by the words of some simple, melody.
Some people sing their way through
life, and such people have wonder
full influence on the lives of others.
Music can have an almost magical
effect in producing the desired re-
suits. In fact, the imagination faila
to picture world without music.

first place this year by this game
While we certainly wish to give the
of ball players no fair minded spec
tator could hesitate to admit that the
West Union boys are entirely out Of
their class. A more detailed descrip-
ton of the last game follows:
There were no scores made on eth
er side for the first two innings. The
last of the third inning the Westport
nine run in scores and just for a
short while things looked bad for West
Union. But the boys came back hard
and heavy in the first of the fourth in
ming and tied the score. From there
on no side scored till the first half of
the ninth inning when Bill Maus
drove a hot one to the pitcher which
he failed to handle in time. Frank
Schwanke next up laid down a neat
little sacrifice advancing Maus to
second. Paul next up met one of judi
kin's round housers square on the
nose which he drove way over the
right fielder for a homer. Underline
up next singled and the next two men
up Were put. out leaving Underline die
on bases.
With the West Union boys two scores
ahead of Westport firmly resolved to
even things up at least.

tired by three of Bills dark, ones.

The Minnesota Farmers
Watch for ''Blue Sky
State Federation Urges County Bur-
eaus to Cooperate to Foil Worth
less Investment Schemes

Establishment of a farmers "blue
sky committee by every county Farm
Bureau which has not already form
ed such protective body will be
urged by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation in an official communities
ion to county Farm Bureau boards
according to information received.
A recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, the warning will say, has
pulled the teeth out of the "blue sky
law, by exempting actual owners OF
securities from jurisdiction of the
state securities commission, declaring
that stocks once sold can be sold
again by the purchaser without the
commissions approval, and even in
spite of its disapproval.
In several Minnesota counties, the
Farm Bureau has maintained "blue
sky committee, composed of three
or four leading farmers. Farm bur-
eau members have been urged to de-
cline to put any money into securities
oil lands and leases, or similar promo
ton schemes, until the salesman had
submitted his proposition to the Farm
Bureau "blue sky" committee. Such
committees have issued warnings to
farmers against manifestly> unsound
schemes, and in some cases, Farm
Bureau officers say, have blocked
stock selling schemes in counties
where the farmers "blue sky" COM
mittee believed the securities offered
were worthless.

BOYS DEMAND BETTER BOOKS
With Anything Dreamed BY y
Old-School Writer'S.

A Chicago librarian has made the
discovery that boys are quitting the
so-called "boy fiction" for reading Of
a different kind. They still read &c
ton, to be sure, but it is not their
chief reading nor is the fiction they
read that provided by the old-school
writer's of boys books, who had the
notion that the youthful masculine
mind required and demanded spe-
cially prepared and specially fla
vored food.
The boys of today, according to
this finding, are calling for the BIZ
ographies of Lincoln, Roosevelt and
Edison. They are reading Christy
Mathewson's sBook Of Sports" the
"Boys' Book Of Mounted Police" the
Boys Book Of Home Science and
Constructors ana books on camping
and wOOdcraft enoI
When they 60 In for fiction they
read Mark Twain, Scott, Dumas,
Stevenson, Jules Verne and Kipling.
They do not read Henty and Oliver
Optic.
The only thing at all curious about
this Is that 1t should ever have been
believed that boys had standardized
minds capable Of taking anything but
spoon food Boys want first Of all
the genuine, and it would be strange
If they didn't learn where to find it.
A boy who has heard of Roosevelt's
life in the West Is not likely to be
content thereafter with the pretend
ed adventures Of the old make-believe
heroes, whose authors turned out
their thrills In New York boarding
houses. A boy who has read "Treas-
ure Island and kidnapped" will have
small use for Nick Carter.-Kansas

DANA RELIEF TO
HAVE NEW HOME
Local Society Has Plans for
New Building at Oak and
Market Street

A new home for the Dana Relief
Society will be erected on the prop
erty of the society at Oak and Mar
ket streets, according to the plan OF
the organization. This will be done
shortly If the present plans of the So
ciety are carried out. Three sets
of plans have been drawn for the
proposed structure.
A special general convention of
the society has been called for next
Wednesday night at Odd Fellows
hall for the purpose of selecting one
submitted. When this is done bids
will be received on the plans.
The new building will be two
stories and basement and will be
thoroughly modern. 1t will be forty
by eighty-seven. The basement wi
contain a grill room. On the first
floor there will be dining room AID
hall and the second floor will be
used for small meetings and club
rooms. The Dana Society sold its
hall at 224-226 Smith street in 1920
and last fall purchased the prop
erty on the northwest corner OF
Oak and Market streets from Mrs
Anna. Wilbert, of Metuchen.
Since that time the society has
been holding its meetings at Odd
Fellows hall. The erection of new
home was talked of at that time
but it was laid over until now. The
Dana Relief Society owned Dana
hall in Smith street for thirty-six
years. 1t having been erected by the
society in 1884.
