terious desert kingdom has been united
for the first time In hundreds OF years
under a stable government. Starting ~
a minor Bedouin chieftain, he said, the
King subjugated all the other minor
chiefs, has established strong police
force, and today the middle OF Arabia
is as safe for the traveller as the streets
of New York. Formerly to so into this
country was almost certain death at the
hands of the robber bands. An ex-
tremely stern regime of law and order
is in effect.
Nominally. Prince ArSlan said, the
seat of Ibn Saud'S government is in
the forbidden city of Mecca, but actu-
ally he has established new capital
at the old brick and stone trading town
of Riard in the interior Of the desert.
Riard, with a population Of about $4,000,
seldom has been visited by Europeans
in the past, but today ranks with the
worlds most progressive capitals. The
desert army is in constant communica-
ton with this city, around which new
Islam is arising, Invested of the load OF
religious traditions which conferred about
Mecca. From Riard trade routes are
being established to India on the east
and Damascus on the west.
Has Reputation as Poet.
Under the secure government Of Ibn
Saud, Prince Arslan looks forward to
great revival of Arabian literature, art
and science, which dominated the west
ern world at the end of the Crusades,
but which declined with the decline of
the political structure of Islam. He
himself is one of the foremost literary
figures of the revival, but, he explains,
he &c in divisions
is revival of the learning of Western
Islam, with its city and comparatively
settled life. The literature of the no
madic Bedouin population, he said, ex-
presses a different spirit, which the
West cannot hope to duplicate. As
poet Prince ArSlan had acquired rep
utation which almost rivals his stand
ing as a soldier.
IN literature and science" he said,
I'VE are trying to catch up with our old
standards. Arabian literature declined
with Arabian politics, and we can
hardly expect to produce so soon the
equals of the old masters" The desert
presses, he said, are turning out a great
variety of poetry, fiction and scientific
books which sooner or later must at
tract the attention of the world.
While composed largely of Druses, he
said, the army in the desert has the
support of the Christian population of
the four countries and has two out
standing Christian leaders, Al-Ketami
Pasha and Said Bey Ammoun.
Prince Arslan is accompanied by DR..
Dendek, owner and editor of a daily
newspaper in the city of Bethlehem,
who is in America as a representative
of the Palestine Arabs and also is max
ing a study of American newspaper
methods

.HICCOUGHS VICTIM
THOUGHT RECOVERING
Reid Continues Ill at Hospital,
but Paroxysms Are Fewer
and Less Violent.

Refreshed by 6-hour sleep last night
Charles F. Reid awoke in his room at
Casualty Hospital this morning and be-
gan to hiccough again, although the
paroxysms came at longer intervals and
were less violent than at any time since
they started six days ago.
Reid is a blacksmith and his rugged
constitution has borne up well under the
ordeal. Physicians believe he is well
on the way to recovery and anticipate
a complete cessation Of the hiccoughs in
the next "a hours.
Hundreds of persons have telegraphed,
telephoned or delivered personally to
the hospital suggestions as to how Reid
might be cured Most of the remedies
were psychological, while physicians
point out that Reds condition is due to
some actual impairment Of his breath
ing apparatus.
Reid was seized with the hiccoughs
Sunday and on Wednesday was admitted
to the hospital after home remedies had
failed. The patient is married and is
80 years old.

"These judges are doing exceptionally
laboriouS work. do not think any one
finds any fault with the hours these,
men work and the number of decisions
they render each year. 1t is true that
when the patent jurisdiction was taken
from this court and given to the otheR
court it was felt that this would remedy
conditions, but even under present con-
Ciitions the cases have greatly increased
instead of diminished. I can assure the
gentlemen that the committee gave
very careful consideration to this mat
ter and was thoroughly convinced that
these additional judges should be au-
thorized. The Attorney General, the
Department of Justice and every one
having knowledge of the facts have
recommended that these additional

WHY THE INDEPENDENTLY
OWNED STORE SERVES THE
COMMUNITY BEST

There has been much discussion
lately on the subject of Chain Stores
and how they benefit or harm the
home community. In my mind there
is no doubt of how a Chain Store
effects a community. 1t is by no
means of any value to the commune
ty. The owner of chain of stores is
usually very wealthy. He is making
q great deal of money but he is not
satisfied. He must have more so he
looks around and here he sees pros
porous community where the indie
pendently owned stores are doing
good business and in their turn help
ing to improve the community in
which they live. The Chain Store
magnate thinks, 81 ought to make a
lot of money here" so he buys or
rents a building, selects man as
manager, installs and begins to sell
his goods. The manager he has chos-
en- may never have been near this
community before. He feels no in
terest in it whatever. Furthermore
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1930-12-03

he doesn't develop any sense of 10y
atty to this community. He's there
only to make money for himself and
the Chain Store owner; money that
doesn't stay in, the community.
The man who owns the independ-
eth store knows almost every person
personally. He feels a personal in
terest in them and their wants. Not
so with the Chain Store manager.
1t is my belief that, ultimately, the
standard of living of the average
working mans family will be lower
ed because of the low wages paid
chain store employees. Chain con-
Germs rae not in business for their
health, and lower prices means cheap
er grades, and less salary.
In my estimation the tax-paying
citizen has more right to business in
his neighborhood than the foreign
owned concern. The independent
merchant banks his money in home
banks, he buys from home institu-
'tions, he improves the property he
owns and thus indirectly improves his
community. Furthermore, he pays
taxes to his home town and thus
helps support it. All this causes
prosperity in our home town and
thus permits us who live in them to
get fair prices for our wares. 1t
boosts the value of our property
which, in turn, works around giving
us higher wages, better values, more
money, and everybody is happy and
satisfied instead of few.
Where does the Chain Store profit
go? Almost anywhere but here,
principally Wall Street.
l believe that Chain Stores are
menace to a community and also to
a nation. The sooner we wake up to
the fact and began to earnestly fight
Chain Stores, the better it will be for
the world and it's people.-Thelma
Iverson, Echo, Minnesota, Age 16
years.-Adv.
