'The farm Bloc is going to allow

Farm Conditions Bad.
"All developments of the past 10
years have shown that conditions
are fundamentally bad with respect
to agriculture.
There has been a steady drift
from the farm to the city.
There have been smaller and
smaller profits for farmers.
Tenancy has steadily increased.
can altogether alarming situation
requires that congress act to put
agriculture on its feet.
''The bloc has been fighting along
economic, not party lines. 1t repre-

eral economic conditions regardless
of party affiliations.
50, do not believe the bloc will de-
velop any new party alignment. But
it will hold, on economic questions
affecting agriculture, strong bi.

Harvey Pass was not handed a
lemon Monday night, while in the
meat market of Albert Nitzkowski,

for one in box, and. thus saved his
life. This was about $3.50 while tae

large and stout man, stopped 10

standing In the shop there followed
a crash, and splinters of the plate
glass window were showered all
over his shoulders and neck. Some
thing was heard to strike the Ice
box in the rear of the room. and
showed that there was
a dent in the wood. Later a forty
four calibre bullet was picked up
on the floor near-the ice box.
There was no sound outside at
the time, and II is the opinion that
perhaps the rifle which sent the
bullet on it's journey, may have
been discharged on the north side
of the river and carried clear over
to where 1t lodged.

Bullying Pockets Are
Evidence of Moonshine

Bulging pockets, according to
the opinion of Mankato police
officers, are indications of moon
shine transportation by the
genius homo. Officer Albert
Volk and Officer Goldie hap
pened TO see a man walking
along Front street Monday
night about ten o'clock. His
pockets bulged out as if he were
loaded down with a million dol
lars. The fellow lacked nerve,
however. for when he saw the
officers approaching, he increas-
ed his speed to rapid stride,
and finally to dog trot, and
after passing the mouth of an
alley struck high speed leaving
the officers in the lurch.
According to the statement OF
Officer Volk the man was seen
to throw something in the alley.
STOPPING down, the officers
picked up two bottles of moon
which had not broken, and
found two others which had
been smashed. Later the man
was picked up in a nearby soft
drink parlor. and taken to the
police station. He gave his
name as Willis A. Felt. He was
later released, and reported yes
terday to Chief Landmark, when
according to the statement of
the chief he admitted that he
dropped the bottles when he
saw that the officers were
chasing him. His case will be
taken up later. Felt was per-
mitted to go on his own recogni-

KATo OLD CITIZEN HAS
NOLONG-LIFE FORMULA


Mankato's oldest citizen denies
that there is any formula for the
young man to follow in order that
he may aStain long life except the
theory advanced by Henry Ward
Beecher who said: Select good
healthy parents to give You birth" I"
H. r. Case, $50 Fulton, street. this
city, will arrive at his ninety sixth
milestone November of this year
and except for a lameness that has
resulted from an attack of "hu" and
pneumonia, is in the best of health
and is more than usually active and
alert mentally.
Mr.. Case told a representative of
The Free Press yesterday afternoon
that in his mind there is no means
for prolonging life beyond the time
of nature and that he had never
thought particularly of long life in
his early years. He said that he
had always worked hard, had made
no particular effort at sparing him
self and just naturally passed the
age of ninety five without effort
Until twenty years ago Mr.. Case
was a farmer in Shelby township
but since that time has lived in the
residence he now occupies with his
niece, Jane Lewis.

Rochester Man Man Had Narrow
Escape From Death In Flames
Rochester, July t.--Awakened by
a crash of thunder at about two
o'clock tnis morning, j. G. John
son, living about one mile west of
the city limits, found his house
filled with smoke issuing from the
kitchen, where fire of unknown
origin was well under way and was
eating its way to other parts of the
house. Choking and gagging with
the smoke, he stumbled into the
kitchen and began to tight the
flames. "a ID
Alone in the house, because Of
the absence of mis- wife, Mr.. John.
son found himself in serious pre-
dicatment when he discovered that
passage to the telephone was cut on
by flames. In desperate attempt
to save some of the household
goods, when the fire stubbornly re-
sisted all attempts to put it out, he
picked UP a mattress and was drag
ging it toward the door, when he
fell exhausted to tae floor.
The smoke was choking and
binding him, but by superhuman
effort, he dragged himself to the
door and TO freSh air. Although IL
was about half mile to house
where he knew he could telephone
the fire department and half
choked and ready to collapse at any
moment, ne stumbled forward to
the place and sent in the call.
The department set out for the
scene and came upon johnson by
the roadside, where he was waiting
to direcf, them tn t1e house where
the fire had gained considerable
headway.
Johnson was lifed to one of. the
fire fighting vehicles in worn out
condition, and was rushed to tae
hospital. He is quite improved to-
day, and returned to view the dam
age at the home this morning.
The department found little dihi-
Guilty in quenching the blaze. IN
spite of the fact of the start it had,
and but for the damage to the fur
niture the loss was not great. The
house probably was saved from to-
