FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR SPRING VALLEY

While driving to town Saturday
evening, Dec. %, Martin Madison was
so badly hurt that he died Tuesday
and Helmer and julius Julson sus-
tanned serious injuries.
Though the Julson boys had been
drinking they probably would have
had no accident had not the lights on
their car ian old Ford gone out just
before they reached the bridge at the
foot of the hill east of the Gilman
church. They We're going at high
rate of speed, and before Helmer Jul
son, the driver, could stop the car,
they had plunged over the bank on
the bridge, falling ten or twelve feet
to the frozen bed of the creek.
Relmer Julson's right leg as so bad
ly smashed from the foot to the knee
that it is not known if he will save it..
j illus Julson's face was horribly bat
tered, his upper jaw being splinterea
in sereval places. Martin Madison,
while not cut or bruised, had his skull
fractured; he never recovered con-
seriousness.
Drs. Conway took the two Julson
boys to st. Paul Tuesday where they
are receiving treatment in hospital.
The two young men had been to
Spring Valley Saturday and had been
drinking the poison so freely peddled
there. Mr.. Madison had not been with
them, and had taken only small
amo-ht from a bottle; he was not
drinking handspring Valley Sun.

FARMERS OPPORTUNITY

The tine is certainly at hand when
this nation will eat as much food as
it produces. Any further increase in
demand which will surely come with
charging industry and expanding
city populations will give our farmers
a better market for their products. 1t
is very unlikely that the numbers OF
people engaged in farming will in
crease as rapidly as will the national
population. We know that the en-
largement of our good farming area
has its limitations. The possibilities
If lnro1ts of foodstuffs are fully as
limited.
No amount of increase of demand
will make every farmer prosperous,
nor will it make good crops and hig
prices every year There will always
he ups and downs and there viii al
ways be some who fail to succeed.
Year in ard year out, however, the
progressive farmers should be GLAD
in TIE future that they did not give
up the land. Their business chances
should be fully as good as the city
mems. One thing, however. Ameri-
