result Of federal supervision, under
the stockyards control act. In addi-
ton, one nrrn, previous to the begin
ming OF the federal audit, retired from
the market, under an agreement which
stipulates that it will never, directly
or indirectly, resume operations.
Official announcement of the firms
fined or suspended-in some cases
both have been imposed-is being
withheld by Exchange officials until
the present so-calied cleanup" caQl-
paign is completed. Auditors, work
ing under the federal supervisor, are
engaged in going over the books OF
all firms. When violation of the Ex-
changes rules OR yard practices are
found, these are reported to tx
change officials, who have imposed
the punishment.
Thus far, % of the 80 firms on the
market have had their books audited.
One firm has been indefinitely sus-
pended because, according to reports,
its books are not complete. Five
firms have been fined $3.50 and OBJ
liged to suspend operations for 30
days. Three firms have been fined.
without suspension. Thus, of the 22
firms whose books have been exam
med, nine have ben penalized, one
way or the other. =
Whether the suspended firms Will
be permitted to resume operations IS
a question that will be answered by
the South st. Paul Stock Yards COM
pany, upon whose physical property
the commission men do business I'M
der agreements that are similar to
leases.
Auditing of books at South st. Paul
has been under way for two months
and probably viii continue for as
many more. Before the work is
completed, records of all Exchange
members as we'll as the independent
and cooperative firms will have been
examined. When the audit is ended
a public statement of all firms fined,
suspended or otherwise punished for
violation of rules and trade prac-
tees, will be made according to
Charles l.. Haas, president of the Ex-
change.
For the present, however, no Off
cial informations is being given out,
DESPITE the fact that many firms are
not operating and the market is
flooded with rumors as to new devel-
opments in the investigation. An i'm
pressive phase of the cleanup" is the
fact that among the firms that have
temporarily suspended operations are
those that have been handling the
largest volume of business. Rumars
are afoat that farmers and others
may instigate civil suits to recover
amounts reported to have been lost
by producers as result of violations
revealed by the audits.

MAKE YOUR JOB THE BIGGEST

1t is a commendable ambition that
prompts the desire to do big things
We all of us do, or should, aspire to
places of responsibility. The way to
realize that ambition is to make of
the jobs we have the very biggest
and greatest jobs in the world. Learn
to do well the things your hand finds
to do. The young men or young wo-
men, or the older ones equally, who
make themselves indispensable, are
in the direct line of promotion and
consequently of greater power and
influence The trouble with many OF
us is that we are inclined to be-
grudge the time and effort devoted
to the necessary period of trial and
apprenticeship.
We had hoped, perhaps, to emerge
full winged and equipped from the
preparatory school Of life, ready to
accept large responsibilities And in
deed we are prepared for this, but
we should remember that the Oppor
tunity given, no matter. how unim-
portant in the mechanism of the office
or factory or shop where we find our
selves, is one of great responsibility.
AS we make of this job the biggest
and most important job in the world,
we prove our readiness to advance.
The position may not be regarded as
the most important in the scheme
which is being made to function har-
moniously, but it is the most impor-
tant to ourselves because in it we
are proving to ourselves the faith
which is within US.
Look about you, if you will, and you
will discover some young man driv-
ing a span of horses attached to a
wagon loaded with freight or stone
or some other material. If he is
fitted for this seemingly unimportant
work, he is making of his job the
biggest job in the world. He takes
justifiable pride in doing well the task
which is his. The rule is universal
in its application. We get out of our
job only what we put into it, and it
is satisfying to remember, our own
preJudices and complaints to the con-
trary, that we actually get all that
we do put in. AS there are exceptions
to all rules, so there probably are ex-
| ceptions to this, but it may be stated
as general proposition that those
who complain of inadequate rewards
are those who have failed to realize
the Importance, to themselves, of the
jobs they have undertaken.
There is a man in Detroit who
claims to have the biggest job in the
world. He has. Americans are in
clined to believe that the President OF
the United States has the biggest job
He has. To them their jobs are the
biggest because they are trying to
do their work better than anybody
else has ever performed tasks similar
to those they have undertaken. Your
Job is the biggest and everyone's is
the biggest also, but this is true only
as we, too, try to do our particular
tasks better than they ever have been
done before.

The Tale of Five Boys.

Boston Herald: On the strength of
replies by FIVE messenger boys, it does
not seem scientific to predicate great
truths about boyhood in general, but
it is some solace to know that their
warnings run along the old lines. A
Chicago newspaper, which asks per-
sons slightly personal question, pay
ing therefore S. each, put the query
to five messenger boys, "What do you
want to be when you grow up?" The
subsidized boys answered vigorously.
Sam Marcus, who wears spectacles
with impressive lenses, wants to be
a doctor. You have to study to be
doctor, as Mr.. Marcus sees it. You
do not have to be working man. You

A Commencement
Message.

Brooklyn Eagle: What kind of ad-
vice to members Of graduating clas-
ses is most effective? How many
public men preparing to address a
group of young people about to re-
ceive diplomas have asked themselves
that question? Ours is time when
youth knows so much and age so lit
tie that feeling much akin to shame
overcomes any mature person about
to inf1ict himself and his good coun-
sci upon prococious youth.
Never has there been such univer-
sal depreciation of the past, such un-
animous insistence that the future
must be altogether different. Hank
ing back to the glory that was Greece
and the grandeur that was Rome
is out of fashion. Even the faith of
the fathers is criticized as having in
cluded too much bigotry. Modern

biographers have trimmed the halos
from the heads of legendary heroes,
and scientific research has dimmed the
luster of history's brightest pages
When the middle-aged attempt to in
spire the young by pointing with
pride the response is a patronizing
smile, for youth applies the pragmatic
test and insists only that is good
which works.
Therefore commencement orators
must turn to the future. Let them
grant that the past never was what
we used to say it was and place all
their emphasis upon asserting that the
future will be what we say it will be.
For here, at least, contradiction is inn
possible. And youth is so much
keener about what is to come than
about what has been that it responds
eagerly to every pious hope.
Perhaps we have all lived too much
in and with the past. Youth may be
right now and may have been right
throughout the ages in its eager in
terest in the present and the future.
The dead hand of the past has too
often hampered and hindered. The
conservative instincts of maturity
have frowned too often upon the
eager hope of youth. The resolve to
meet the problems of our new day
in a new spirit may after all be the
best hope of earth.

The Historical Association resumed
it's meeting at eight o'clock. The op-
ening paper was given by the Hon.
Theodore Christensen of Dawson on
the subject of ''The Long and Beltrami
Explorations in Minnesota One Hun
dred Years Ago." Since this dealt
to some extent with early history in
the vicinity of Redwood Falls it will
be printed in full in the next issue of
the Gazette.
The concluding paper of the even
ing was prepared by DR.. William w.
Folwell, but owing to his inability TO
be present, it was read by DR.. Scion
J. Buck. The topic was "The Causes
of the Sioux War" In beginning
DIR. Folwell stated that the general
causes might be said to be that "anger
is a universal passion" and that sit
was Indian nature to torture and kill
people who had wronged them" He
stated that Indian treaties were far
cial and that by the establishing of
agencies and the annuity system,
the Indians were reduced from indie
pendent nations to dependent peoples.
Indian agents were often appointed
for some political service they had
rendered and not for actual ability
Their salaries were so small as to
make them seek other means of in
come such as secret partnership with
traders in schemes to cheat the In
dian. The lax morals of the people
at the trading posts also had bad
effect.
In 1857 Joseph R. Brown assumed
the duties of agent. He was an able
man and under his influence many
Indians were induced to adopt the
customs of the whites. In 1861 Brown
resigned and Galbraith was appoint
ed in his place. Shortly after this q
group under the leadership of Inkpa-
duta murdered thirty people in Dick.

prehend this band of marauders caus'
ed feeling of contempt among the
Indians toward the United States
forces. A failure of crops and it!
accompanying hardship caused dis
sent among the tribes. The trader:
refused credit and money for payment
of annuities failed to arrive on time
Many critical situations arose, cul
minating a massacre of the mem
bers of a settlers home Acton town
ship by members of an outlaw ban'
of Indians. A council of chiefs wa:
held and fear of the suspected pun
ishment for this massacre lead to tn
final outbreak.

hampered by scarcity of funds it was
largely due to this office that the

Runs Against a
Snag

A new bond election in the Clear
water Highway district, in order to
provide funds for the districts share
of the proposed Stites-Harpster road
may be necessary, according to w.
r. Clark, of Harpster, president OF
the highway board, who was in the
city, Tuesday.
Error in the published notice of
tue bond election, several years ago,
was discovered by attorneys for q
Spokane bond house, with the result
that this concern, which had planned
to buy the bonds, refused to proceed
with the purchase
The state which, with the federal
government, is cooperating with the
district on this highway, had an
nounced that it would soon advertise
for bids for construction of the road
Now that the district has struck
snag in sale of the bonds, the states
part of the program has been delay
ed.
If it is necessary to call new el
ection, Mr.. Clark said, voters OF the

Moore Travels the North and
South Highway and Gets
Information First Hand
Fully 200 Miles of Turnpike
Between Boise and Lewiston
in Every Way Admirable

Boise, Oct.3-Gov. O., @. Moore re.
Gently drove over the North and
South highway to secure tirst-hand
information about that road and
found that much of the criticism con-
corning it is unjustified.
approximately 200 miles of the 32s
from Boise to Lewiston is an admir-
able highway in every particular, in
the opinion of the governor. Between
New Meadows and Round Valley
twelve miles of old road awaits COM
pletion of a bridge to open up the new
highway on the opposite side of the
canyon. There is but twenty-three
miles in total of unfinished road from
Round Valley to Lucille and this COM
prises several sections separated with
finished portions of excellent highway.
According to the state highway depart
ment, $4,000 is necessary to COM
plete these sections of the road.
At various points along the road
contractors are working on sections of
the highway for which contracts were
let last year. At least 100000 is be-
ing spent on these and other sections
already contracted for which are
awaiting better labor conditions for
construction. The completion of a
few culverts will also make this road
much better for next year.
The state highwsy department has
on this road only two or three engin-
GERS who are required for supervision
by the federal government, which is
furnishing So percent of the funds.
Temporary clearing of the old road
with $4,000 from the gas tax fund
is being done at this time. To spend
much more than this would be waste

will be built by contract, it is pointed
