Frederick Boy lnvents
"SIed Speedel'

Aberdeen, Feb. 20.-Equipping a
good sized sled with a Ford engine and
a propeller, Cecil Silberberger of
Frederick is burning up the snow COW
cred streets of his town and the roads
of his community in a speedy fashion,
according to word reaching Aberdeen.
He is the 1S-year-old son of a prom
inent Frederick contractor and when
not helping his father he spends his
time with mechanical c~ontraptions,
showing marked genius along this
line. His latest ''sled speeder" is very
successful, the more remarkable be-
cause the propeller is un~believably
small, yet propels the sled rapidly.

No Trace Of Aged Yankton
Woman Who Disappeared

Yankton, Feb. 19.-Not a trace has
been found of Mrs. Bridget CaIlaghan.
although a week has now passed since
she disappeared. 1t is thought the
woman seen across the river in a
cornfield last Saturday was not Mrs.
Callaghan, but that she did wander
until she fell into the Missouri, as
was first believed. A very thorough
search Is planned by a large party on
the Nebraska side, to- run down any
possible clues that may develop. In
official circles it Is believed Mrs. CAL
laghan Is in the river but relatives
hope the missing woman may yet be
found.

moved solely by the dictates Of his
own conscience.

penses incidental to the decoration OF
%. 900 graves of American soldiers and
sailors in European countries. Com
mittees were also authorized to con-
slider the establishment OF an orphans
home for children of ex-service men
and the examination or all textbooks
in the schools az the country to dis
| cover any alleged un-American con-
tents.

Secretary Wallace Sees Better Times
for Farmers.

Twelve months ago most of the g.
100000 farmers of the United States
were starting on the long, hard climb
out of the valley of economic depres-
sion. They have not yet attained the
heights which are bathed in the CRATE
full sunshine of prosperity. Some, in
deed, have fallen by the way. Others
are still in the valley. Nevertheless
as we stop a bit and look backward
we can see that very considerable
ground has been gained by the great
majority, and we can enter the new
year with renewed hope and with that
courage which comes from the realiza-
tion that we are really making pro-
gress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, | said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in the
near future, there was promise of bet
ter times both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely de-
pendent upon him. The year has
brought fulfillment of that promise.
Speaking generally, times are better,
much better, than year ago, both
for agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the whole.
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher While there has
been a corresponding advance in the
prices of the things the farmer must
buy, the total sum which farmers will
receive for the crops of this year is
greater, by billion and half dollars
or more, than that which they receiv-
ed for the crops of last year. This
will certainly mean better times on
the farm, and farm folks will be able
to ease up a little on the grinding
economy they were forced to practice
the preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re-
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has been eased. This has made
it possible for many farmers who were
rather heavily involved to refund their
obligations and get themselves in con-
dition to win through.
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weather conditions were

Death of George McIlvaine.

Died-At the ranch of his brother,
C. W. McIlvaine, on last Thursday,
George w. McIlvaine of st. Louis. The
deceased, who for 36 years mad been
in the railroad service and for the last
eighteen years traffic manager for the
Frisco road at Saint Louis, broke down
under the long strain as he had stay
ed at his post all the time, hardly ever
taking a vacation. He came to his
brothers ranch about a month ago for
a vacation, but while he seemed bet
ter for a time could not seem to gath
err renewed energy. The body was
shipped to the family home at Leban-
on, Missouri, for interment.

What Does Freedom Mean.

Attorney-GeneraI Daugherty's ulti-
matum from the Government, that or
ganized labor should not be permitted
to destroy the open shop was one of
the most noteworthy documents in the
industrial and business annals of this
country.
1t should be borne in mind that in the
labor disturbances over which we have
just passed, the Government and busi-
ness generally took up the cudgel, not
against the workman or his organiza-
tions, but against n system sponsored
by militant leaders, which would al
low an organization to deny a citizen
the right to work and which defiel
courts. laws and right to life and prop
erty, as has been done on numerous
occasions, and which eliminated in the
massacre Of non-union W rltmen at
Herrin, Illinois, to the everlasting dis
grace of nation which calls itself
free.
Think for just minute what free
dom means. Above all else it means
the light to work without restraint or
Intimidation and with the full protec-
tion of the government to union or
non-union men without discrimination.
