Remember the time when a Paris
beau thought he wasn't dressed up
unless he had about fifty cents
worth of perfume slaverred over
his coat?
Advertisers may comment on the
Importance of getting the goods in

thing is to be sure that you have
the real goods to go in the front

Did you ever stop to wonder
why a railroad train on which there
is no sleeper, no diner, no smoker,
no water, no ventilation, no porter
and no news butcher is termed an
accommodation train?"
Lingerie and liquor are inter-
woven in a lawsuit filed in a New

Well, haven't liquor and lingerie
always spelled trouble?
You can safely bet your last cent
that the fellow the kids and the

a man is all right with them, and
they do not hesitate to show that
they know it, either.
Age brings us nothing better
than the growing understanding of
how utterly useless and senseless it

man Theatre in st. Cloud, every boy
and girl in st. Cloud had an opportu-
nifty to meet personally the most pro-

New Ruling Given as Farm Credit Al


Washington.-Bankers' acceptance
of six months maturity, drawn by gro-s
wers of staple agricultural products. or
cooperative marketing associations
are eligible for purchase or rediscounts
by the federal reserve banks under a.
ruling promulgated today by the fed
eral reserve board as a step in the di-
rection of longer term credits for ag
riculture.
"The ruling is the result of inquiry
as to whether federal reserve banks
could purchase bankers acceptances.'
said Roy Young, governor of the Fee
deral Reserve Bank. "These aecep-
tances, through which a bank lends its
credit. to an individual in the shape Of
a draft drawn on the bank to be sold
in the open market, has not been used
to any great extent in the northwest.
It was used to some extent a year
ago in Montana for wool growers and
some acceptances were purchased by
twin city banks. What effect this rul-
ing may have in the northwest is pro-
blematical."

Wife Deserter Sentenced.

S"s -" #a.N
Charles R. Remer, brought back
from the State of Massachusetts by
Sheriff Schooner to answer to a charge
of desertion Of wife and children, was
sentenced on December 20 to an indie
terminate term in the State Prison at
Saltwater, with a maximum of five
years prescribed by statute. When Re-
mer appeared before Judge John A.
Roeser on November Is, he was con
fident that his newly acquired friends
and business associates in Massachu-
setts would show their confidence in
him by furnishing a bond for the sup
port Of his family, and the Court gave
him utnil December 20 to secure the
bond. The eastern friends, however,
were not as confident as Remer had
predicted and the bond was not forth
coming. Remer had many explanations
and excuses, but none that convinced
the Court that he was justified in not
providing for his little children, and
consequently RemersnoW a steady
position with the State.

Prohibition Officers Asleep.

Congressman Harold Knutson is
writing his friends declaring that his
purpose in making a speech on exist
ing conditions in America resulting
from the prohibition regime was mere
ly to shake the higher prohibition off
GERS out Of their complacency and not
"a shift in his stand on the prohibition
question. The Congressman says, 81
was merely making a statement to the
house as to how prohibition was work
ing out" News dispatches indicate
that Knutson is receiving many let
tiers Of commentator for the roast
ing he administered to the arid forces,
even though the Congressman himself
don't seem to want to admit the force
of his own arguments.

This Time Farmers Win.

For once a slump in prices has come
after the farmer has unloaded. Whole
salers stand to lose a pretty penny on
turkeys this year, the bottom having
fallen out Of the turkey market a few
days before Christmas. A buyers
strike in the East, housewives refusing
to pay the prices asked for the birds,
is given as the cause Of the fall. in
prices. According to reports most of
the turkey raisers in this section at
least had disposed Of their birds at
the top Of the market, and the loss
will not fall on the producer this time.

Claim Students Garry Booze.

While Congressman Harold Knutson
is telling members of Congress that
high school youths in his home town
are carrying bottles on the hip, facul-
sty members Of the st. Cloud high
schoofvare-loudly denying the charge.
While it is admitted that onezhoyzwas
seen with a p%rotruding pocket, and
investigation unearthed a bottle Of
'tmoon," and two other boys procured
a bottle while on a trip with an athle-
tic team and shared it with some Of
their companions, the superintendent
claims that the rank andAfle Of the
student body do not come to school
with a private stock on their person.
Members Of the school board support
the claims Of the faculty and claim
that while there may be "he-fappers"
in the school who go. in strong for
House of David haircdts and trousers
with a seagoing flare at the bottom,
that these are merely friyolities and
exaggerations of youth and that the
morals Of the students are sound. The
public will be deeply interested in the
outcome Of the controversy, %inasnauch
as bottles ofmoonshiins in the hip
pockets Of fifteen and sixteen year old
students seems to be fashion which
has developed since a certain July first

fact that attorneys were engaged in
other courts and could not get their
cases in shape before Christmas, the
Stearns county petit jury is back at
work and will stay on the job until
all who desire to have their day in

tions are that several cases will be
tried which will require considerable
time, and the jury may. be busy until

Court Imposes Fine.

That Judge Andrew Miller of North
Dakota, who is presiding at the Fer
gus Falls term. of the Federal Court,
is not in sympathy with Judge Page
Morris policy Of Jail terms for all,
was proven when a large number of
Stearns county residents, picked up by
Federal agents for every offense
known to the prohibition enforcement
agents, were sent back to their homes
on payment Of fines ranging from $40
to $3.50, and with the admonition to
go and sin no more. One man was
given a jail term of ten days, when the
court was advised that a fine would
impose a hardship on the defendants
family.

LOAN TO GERMANY HELD IN
POSSIBLE.
Administration Officials Declare Repa-
rations Question Must First
Be Settled.

Observation-Disclosures Off
Gals declared in commenting on con-
tinued speculation as to what course
Amerisa may pursue to help the econo-
mic situation in Europe that it is idle
to talk about any loan to Germany by
any group Of bankers until the. repair
atiohs issue is settled.
No group Of fnanciers on earth, it
was declared, either would or could
float a loan to Germany with repara-
lions still undetermined. It is regard
ed as certain, therefore, that whatever
is being done by the United States
to help the situation is directed toward
bringing about a basis whereby a loan
to Germany might be possible. An
agreement as to what PREPARATIONS Ger
many can and will pay is the only
thing that will make this possible.
State department officials will not
discuss what is being done now, any
further than they have in the last few
days. Details are still locked up with
the president and secretary Of state.
1t was again denied that this govern
ment is entertaining any proposition
to cancel Europe's war debts to the
United States or to involve them in
any way with the PREPARATIONS issue.
The proposed loan is the same pro-
posal that was put forward tentatively
about six months ago, when the COM
mittee Of bankers which was called to
Paris to consult with the Preparations
commission finally reached the conclu-
| sion that it could not be negotiated.
Recent Paris dispatches indicate that
Premier Poincare seemingly is more
inclined to meet the views of the in,
ternational bankers than he was six
months ago. Therein lies the hope fol
a solution of Europe's problem.

II can find no convincing reason why
the troops should not be brought home

they should not have been brought
home six months ago. But, then, | may
not know all the reasons why they are
kept there. The administration may
have some compelling reason for it.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart (rep.
Iowa)-It is a question about which |
am not yet sufficiently informed to ex-
Ipress an opinion. AS a general propo-
%sition, I should say bring home all the
troops. The argument that they are.

Of the most handsome public buildings IN the state. Visitors lsn
from other parts of the state cannot. say edbugh IN praise.
While It has cost a nice sum of money, yet IT must not pc 1or-
gotten that Stearns county is one Of the best counties IN the
whole United States. The plan Of issuing the bonds 81 the
county payable in long terms makes it very easy to pay TOT IT,
and the tax payers will not feel It.
It has many features that will make it q popular place 1or
the people from the country. There arerooms for public meet
ings, rest rooms where people can meet and the Women can an
even make a warm cup of coffee. The inscription over the
front entrance is a thoughtful one. It expresses PRIDE at. the
progress we of Stearns county have made, and also gives 9
kindly thought to the brave and Woodworking men ana
women who first came to convert the wilderness, and who are
with us no longer: ssMz&

We hope that a great public celebration can be arranged
