to see her and chat with her.
But this spring it was noticed that
her old cabin was tumbling down.

that the old building would collapse
utterly before long.

Evan Bow Dies

The Evan and Brookville commun-
tiles bowed in sorrow Saturday when
the news spread that Edward Han
sen, twenty-eight year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. P. Hansen, had passed
away at the hospital at Redwood Falls
following an operation for ulcers of
the intestines. Death occurred at ex-
actly noon, not quite two and a-half
days after the operation.
The youth, who had always been
robust and apparently in good health,
became suddenly ill at about 7:3O
o'clock on Wednesday evening and
was rushed to the hospital at Redwood
Falls where the operation was per-
formed the following morning. A
specialist was summoned from Twin
City hospital to supervise the opera
ton and every care and comfort was
provided, but all efforts proved flu
tile. He suffered extreme pain and
gradually grew weaker until death re-
lieved him of all his earthly troubles

Fred Hanska
Suffers Loss

Fred Hanska, a well-to-do farmer
of near Wabasso stopped off a short
time in Sleepy Eye on Tuesday, while
en- route for South St. Paul, with two
carloads of Holstein cattle. Mr.. Han
ska intended to hold sale and when
his fine herd was tested, 48 out of his
herd of 68 were found to be tuber-
cular and therefore had to be sold.
Mr.. Hanska will be somewhat reim-
bursed by the state but figures his
loss at about $4,000. In the herd
were several cows he paid $500 for
and herd bull costing $500.
There were 18 fresh mich cows and
few young heifers. Mr.. Hanska has
been building up this herd for the past
IA years and feels quite badly. His
silo is filled and he will now have to
go out and try to buy a few head Of
good cows.-Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

Father And Son Charged
With Crime OF Arson
FRANK CIERPISZEWSKI AND
son, TEOFIL, ARRESTED BY
SHERIFF c. O. HANSON SAT-
URDAY.

Frank Cierpiszewshi and son, Teo-
I'll, OF Lake Stay township, residing
about five miles southeast of Ivan
hoe, were arrested Saturday by Sher-
IF c. o. Hanson after being charged
with the crime of arson on eight Grim
lnal complaints sworn out by State
Deputy Fire Marshal, C. E. Llewellyn.
The son, Teofil, is charged in four
complaints with arson in connection
with four fires which have occurred
within the past two months in the
vicinity where the family resides.
There has been charge preferred
against him for each of the following
fires, the burning of the Aug. Behnke
barn on July 18th, burning of the Jos.
Cichanski barn on Aug. 9th, burn
ing of the Cierpiszewski granary Aug.
9th, and burning of the Cierpiszew-
ski barn Sept. 4th, all of which have
been mentioned in these columns in
previous issues as having occurred,
and the origin of which had caused
suspicion that they were incendiary.
The father, Frank Cierpiszewski,
is charged in four complaints made
by the deputy marshal of aiding, abet-
ting, encouraging, inducing and other
wise procuring one Teofil Cierpis-
zewski, to commit the crime or ar
son. Each of the eight complaints
were dated Sept. 18th, and handed to
the sheriff who placed the accused
men under arrest one week later.
The arrests are the result of an in
vestigation made by the deputy fire
marshal, who spent nearly week in
Ivanhoe, gathering information and
clues upon which the charges were
made. Deputy Llewellyn questioned
members of the Cierpiszewski family
very closely after they were brought
to the office of the sheriff in Ivanhoe,
and otherwise carefully investigated
all apparent facts and circumstances
in connection with this series of fires
with the result that the eight charges
were made against the father and son
of this family, against whom it ap.
pears suspicion rests.-Ivanhoe Times

Nothing breeds contempt like igno-

Abraham Lincoln, during his presl-

his death the nation has become In

More copies of the Bible were sold
last year than ever before in history
and more people found inspiration and

the market for it enlarges.
The European who sees only the
American tourist thinks that we are

Familiarity is fatal to the man who

India, We're Even

A certain gentleman from India Rahman Bey by

New York for the last couple Of weeks by dint Of
his remarkable powers Of absorbing hatpins without

Mellon Gives a Secret

Europeans who come to America marvel at our
success. They given various reasons for it, such
as our vast natural resources creating a prosperity
which they regard more less as undeserved.
Andrew w. Mellon made speech the other day
and in it he gave few reasons for our prosperity
that might we'll be handed on to any guests from
other countries who drop in us.
I'VE have found in this country that, by investing
heavily in labor-savng devices, we can increase the
productive capacity per capita of labor and also
eliminate waste, which is such an important factor
in the attainment of national prosperity. In this
way we can pay high wages and still reduce costs,
so that the finished products are still within reach
OF the average man. This, in turn, increases con-
sumption and still further stimulates production In
the end we find that pays to manufacture in guam
tity and to make large volume of small profits
That is the secret of our success in America"
Mr.. Mellon merely told truth that Americans
are beginning to take for granted. But we do not
realize the significance of the fact unless it is point
ed out by casual observer. The Ford fac.
tories are one example, the great meat packing
plants another, the marvellous distribution system of
the motion picture industries another.
And labor, which has learned that only by cooper
ation can it's condition be improved has used it's
brains Labor is living we'll and banking little,
in some cities, in banks it is organizing itself
Employers and employees have helped each other
toward realization of an economic dream that is a
wonder to outsiders

CROP REPORT

The weather conditions have not:
been favorable for the Northwestern
grain crops for the week past. nc
cording to the weekly crop report
issued by the Van Dusen Harrington
Company of Minneapolis. With very
lew exceptions, this entire territory
needs moisture.
There have been no good rains re-
Gently, and for several days there
were some very high winds. These
TOOK some OF the surface moisture,
ana caused some damage by uncov-
eT'ng the roots OF the grain, as we'll
as blowing out some seed.
AS previously reported, all small
gram crops are the most spotted in
number OF years. In many dis
tr.cts there are some good fields Of
wheat, while other fields are extreme
~ thin and uneven, so that the aver
age yield, even under most favorable
conditions, is certain to be reduced.
In a few places, early wheat is now
in the shot blade, while the nlant l.
only 6 or 8 inches high. Fields If
this kind will probably show low
yield, unless conditions are excsn.
tionally favorable during the filling
season. Fortunately, the weather has
been cool, but unless there are yooI
rains very soon, there will be further
deterioration in wheat.
The same conditions nrcyail in tho
crops Of barley and oats. South .Da.
kota, especially, has deficiency Of
moisture, and in the central mart.
some oats and barley fields will not
be cut. In Minnesota, these crons
show a higher average and some sec
lions may show fair returns, proyid-
ing they receive moisture.
The condition of the rye crOn has
not changed during the past week
There are several spots in southern
Minnesota and northwestern North
Dakota where good fields of rye are
to be found, but our correspondents
almost universally advise that it is
the poorest crop in years.
In South Dakota and Minnesota.
farmers are now busy cultivatinR. Up
TO the present time, corn has done
exceptionally wen under the condi-
lions. Cut worms, are active in q
few places, but with general rains,
the crop has good possibilities. !.
In western North Dakota there has
been more moisture and the ground
is in good condition for flax. There
is considerable new breaking reported
and seeding will probably continue
up to the goth Of June. In some Of
the western North Dakota counties
there may be small increase in the
flax acreage, but for the northwest
as a whole, we expect q reduction
from that of last year. Many fields
Of flax are showing green and have q
healthy appearance. This crop, how
ever. is in the same position as all
others and must have rain soon.
