Oilinp Streets Expensive

The Echo man has always been an
advocate of street oil, and would be
so today could street oil be purchas-
ed at anything near a reasonable
price, says the Elgin Echo. When
Elgin first began to apply oil on her
streets it cost approximately $500 a
car. Since then crude or street oil
has steadily advanced until now il
costs something near $1,000 car
This is only dust layer for por,
ton of the year and is not perma.
nent road builder. We believe that
street oil has now about reached the
state of a luxury, and that when oui
gravel wears down in years to come
it would be more economical for oul
business men to pave the principa
business streets than to "dig up fol
oil year after year. To pave in from
of the Echo office would cost the
Echo man about $3.50 and this in
vestment would be for a permanent
improvement.-Elgin Echo.

Your Own NeighbOrhoOd

Lots of people live an isolated life.
They Gu. their own grass, sprinkle
their own lawns, drive their own
autos--all alone-and never stop to
think they live in neighborhood.
1t is because of such conditions that
sfTrciiytii 7TeiEhD0rnooo spirit has just
about died out. Of course, people
who live isolated lives never do much
for neighborhood. They eat and
sleep in their own homes, and that's
about all that make it home.
They're honest and respectable, OF
course, but that isn't all that is ex.
pected of a person. If yeu live neal
people you ought to be friendly with
them. No town or community car
become greater than the people who
live in it, and if a majority of oul
citizens should act like a few w,
know it wouldn't be a communit!
worth making a home in.

CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY
John V. DeCou of Near Ossian Lost
Large Number Leghorns by
Theft Friday Night.

Mr.. and Mrs. John V. DeCou and
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Uhlenhake at
tended farm bureau picnic Friday
evening, leaving the children and a
daughter of the Uhlenhakes at the
DeCou home. Between ten and
eleven that night the children heard
someone in the farm yard, and after
little investigation they discovered
that the gentlemen" had flashlights
which they were using without fear
of detection. The children were so
frightened that they dared not give
an alarm. After remaining on the
farm for nearly an hour the thieves
departed in an automobile wnicn
they had parked near the roadway
and headed toward Ossian. On their
return home, Mr.. and Mrs. DeCou
found that about fifty or sixty White
Leghorn chickens had been stolen.
The next morning they reported their
loss to Marshal Grimstad, OF Ossian,
but the fact that there was no clew
to work on, the thieves made a clean
getaway. All the neighboring towns
were notified to be on the lookout,
but to date no information has been
obtained.
Saturday night Jens Egeland,
neighbor of the DeCous, found that
his hen house had been entered and
relieved of about fifty chickens, the
theft having been committed Friday
night. Mr.. Egeland was in the
south part of the county during the
evening and did not return home UNI
til after twelve, during which time
the thieves had things pretty much
their own way.

Missouri river will be dragged fol
automobiles and trucks which were
hired stolen by their owners who af.

arrests have already been made by
officers working in connection with
the auto thief bureau. The prison
ers, whose names are being withheld
by officials until the roundup is
completed, are said to have impli-
Gated several persons in Council
Bluffs whom they alleged paid for
their cars to be stolen and hidden
in the river. Before he proceeded
to Fl. Madison, r. c. Betty, one of
the confessed robbers of the Pisgah
bank told Sheriff Walter Milliman
and State Agent H. Yackey of more
than dozen cases with which he
was familiar concerning car owners
who hired men to steal their ma
chimes and drive them into the riv-

Lowering the School Tax

1t is comparatively easy to resolve
to reduce expenses and lower taxa
ton. Just lately in Knoxville a
meeting of all the taxing bodies of
the county resolved to lower the lev
les 10 per cent. But the Knoxville
school board announced that it did
not propose to lower salaries, but
expected to make enough off outside
pupils to lower its levy. Then many
of the outside districts found they
could not lower their levies 10 per
cent unless the tuition they pay to
Knoxville high school can be lowered
proportionately. Then the school
board at Pella cut teachers wages 10
per cent and it raised storm of pro-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. < ehsfn5ef
Of commerce tried to get the direc-
tors to rescind their action, which
was taken by 3 to vote, but the
board refused. A mass meeting was
called and all the interested citizens
of the town attended. By a more
than two thirds vote the assembly
voted to condemn the school board
for the cut in wages and the direc.
tors capitulated, resembling its re
duction of the salaries. Everybody
clamors for lower taxes, but how
easy it is to get up popular enthusi
asm for the expenditures that make
high taxes necessary! 1t doesn'
take school board, or city council

lature very long to find out whethe
its constituents really want to re
trench or merely talk about retrench

Apprehends Auto Thief at Cresco


Sheriff Ebert arrested an auto thief
Moas5.a3 rning xsns VI lDes<d
for the theft OF Buick car at Fair-|
mont, Minnesota Saturday evening.
The fellow gives his name as jim
O'Connor, and from evidence in the
ssheriff's possession it seems that he
stole Ford in kossuth county, Iowa,
and later abandoned or disposed of
L. and stole the Buck at Fairmont
When taken with the Buick it was
found that he was operating it under
the altered Iowa certificate of regis
tration, the card plainly showing thu
alterations. O'Connor ran out o
gasoline a couple of miles the othe
side of kendallvfile and endeavoret
to buy some and was reported b.
Amos Moon to the sheriff who inves
tigated the matter and placed tn
man under arrest.
On Tuesday the sheriff from Fair
mont came down and took O'Conno
with him. 1t is quite probable tina
an old hand at the auto stealing ha
been captured.
Sheriff Ebert received letter yes

Another Narrowing Tale Out of Russia

Russian aristocracy, closely connected
with the Russian royal family, who
renounced her rank to wed her father,
Frederick Schlich, German, natural
lied as an American citizen. She says
her father vanished when she was
two years old.
The princess says she lived with her
mother in New York al SO West Thirty
fourth street until 1896, when she was
fifteen years old. Then her mother
took her to Europe and in Berlin, In
1902, she says she was married to
Prince Ivan Tschernitschew, Russian.
She spent but one day with the prince,
returning to her mother in Berlin.
Mother and daughter returned to New
York in 1902 and lived there until In
that year, the princess says. her
mother, Ill in health, returned to Riga
to visit her relatives, taking her daugh-
ter with her.
At Riga the mother effected recon-
ciliation between her daughter and
husband and died. At Riga, the prin-
cess claims, her son was born and the
family lived in peace until the Bolshe-
Wiki uprising. During the early days
of the revolution, she says, her father
sent her son away to place Of safety
and she had not seen him since. In
1919 her husband gave her the dispatch
box, which she hid. He was taken
by the Bolsheviki, and she tells har-
rowing tale Of his death by crucifixion.
