The world still drafts its su

The world still drafts its successful men
from the farm. That much should be said
amidst all this talk that attempts to dscredlt the
farm. For the past few years, it has been GUS
tomary to claim that the farm is a poor place
to make living and an excellent place to &C
cun,ulate mortgages; that it is place where men
and women slave through joyless existence,
and about the only good thing that people could
find to say about the farm was that hard work
was good for person. Now the Rockefeller
Foundation has been investigating and reports as
follow lathe idea that rural life is inherently
wholesome and healthful has all the vitality Of
popular legend. The crystal water of the old
family well the gymnasium apparatus Of pillow and
hoe and saw, the fresh food from field, garden,
and dairy, the constant outdoor life the mental
serenity which comes from contact with nature
have been so lyracaly extolled by orators, chief
ly urban that it is hard to convince the man in
the street that the farmer and his family not
helthier than city olk."-Austin Herald.

Every once in while Charles Collision of

up and tells us that Redwood County is not a
dairy cow county. Well, maybe it isn't; we have
wish to dispute these authorities. But Just

Redwood Falls Cow Testing Association last year
produced more than two hundred pounds of but

way into the way of making golden dollars

THE LAST MILE.

The last mile of the journey
Is the longest mile of all.
The first mile sang of morning,
And the last of evenfall.
The last mile of the journey
Is all WEAKNESS and pain;
But, dearest, it's the last mile
That brings me home again!
The last mile of the journey
Is the longest mile I know.
The first mile was swift mile,
But the last mile seems so slow.
The last mile of the journey
will travel with a smile,
For loving arms will clasp me
Upon the last long mile!

Meagre Accounts
Another serious defect is that
many Of the larger appropriations
are not more definitely set up ac-
cording to the functions performed.
This is especially noticeable in the
street and road fund. OF course, no
apparent effort has been made to
install unit cost data and accounts.
Unless Il thoroughgoing accounting
system is installed a complete bud

things are vital therefor. First. II

wisdom of future operations, and
secondly Il work program or esti-
mate of future operations and expen-

gram to ascertain how the proposed
expenditures are to be financed. The
historical data is supplied by the ac-
counting system, and the work pro-

propose for the ensuing year. Doubt

Can you imagine piow from half

was the glacier which centuries upon
centuries ago, furrowed its way down
into this country from west OF Hud-
son Bay. At about the place where
the Minnesota line now runs, it stop
ped and began to melt. Its waters
joined those Of the great northward
flowing river whose bed was what
we now know as the Red River Val
ley. The mingled waters formed the
vast Lake Agassiz.
Myriad tiny streams rushed into it
every year with their burden of silt.
On the shores of the lake they laid
down the heaviest parts. These de-
posits now form three distinct bench
es revealing today the three differ
ent stages of the lakes recession. The
finer material was carried out in the
lake and laid down gradually until it
formed deposit from twenty to
fifty feet deep.

North Dakota will produce great

tural state in the Union, according
to the U. S. Department of Agricul-

the average production per capita
was $494.OO. South Dakota, the next
state in rank, produces but $2,97l 90

The census figures for 1924 give
the average value of the land in
North Dakota as $41.lO. According

New York, Jap. 1S-Assistant Fire Chief Joseph Crawley, executive of ficer of New York fire headquarters for Is years and one Of the best known fire chiefs in the country, died here early today from pncu- monia which he had contracted in fighting a fire here a week ago.

Blinded by the bliz- gard and stunned by the cold, Miss Vaille was forced to halt while Kiener pushed ahead to summon help. After hazardous journey Kiener yesterday reached a timber line house half way down the peak and led back a searching party.

Coolidge Approves

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Paris agreement on American war claims is regarded as a fair settlement by President Coolidge.
 MT. Coolidge recognizes that it does not represent all that the United States sought but he is pleased that on the other hand it does not place the United States in the position of a rapacious creditor.
 The communications passing be- tween the American representatives at Paris and the state department have been followed closely by MT. Coolidge, whose position throughout was that it was not as important that the United States be paid quickly as that the allied govern ments give recognition of the just American claims especially in view of the question at one time as to whether American claims should be considered at all.
 The statement does not require approval by congress in MT. Cool idge's opinion.

TURN FROM RUM ID
 RUNNING ALIENS
SmugslerS Easily OutVit Small Force Of Guards at Boundary

Grand Forks, N. D.. Jan. 13,- Tightening of the immigration re- strictions has turned many erstwhile liquor runners to the less hazardous occupation of smuggling aliens into the United States from Canada, ac- cording to William Flynn. director in charge of this immigration district.
 Two hundred men keep watchful eyes oR some 1,200 miles of border line under Mr. Flynn's direction, and 1t is inevitable that this small force cannot keep under constant observa- tion every mile of the line.
 There are two principal methods employed in smuggling aliens, ac- cording to Mr. Flynn. One is for the alien desiring to enter the United States to work his way to some city near the border and then watch for an opportunity to walk across the border.
 The other and more common method is for veteran smugglers to load an automobile with aliens and drive across the border, dumping them down at almost any place, wit h no particular regard as to the possi- bility of the aliens being taken into custody within q short time.
 These smugglers invariably leave the alien with very little money, MT. Flynn declares, and it is easy for the smuggler to average s100 for each person thus illegally transported. AS a rule for foreigners are driven only

mile or two across the border, but occasionally they are taken to some town on the United States side, per haps several miles from the line.
 While deportation has been com mon practice, prosecution is being followed in this district and lis get ting good results" MT. Flynn said as "the prospects of from three months to year in prison is not so inviting to aliens as, the mere prospect of being deported."
 The alien runner has been known to make from $500 to $2,000 on one trip. Unlike the running of liquor, there is no original investment and no prospect of losing out, as he col lccts in advance from his "clients" and then dumps them at the first available spot without danger to himself.
